This leaves out some important context - it's for 208,000 ITT Tech students who were in debt because they'd been defrauded. Given those circumstances, I'm okay with this.

If so, then they should chant "Palestine will be free" and just that. When you add "From the river to the sea" to the chant, it becomes a call for the erradication of all Israeli Jews and the dismantling of Israel's existence so that Palestine may hold dominance over the region.

I had no problem with the meme; I just don't think it's wholly accurate. Yes, most of the world is in a far comfier position than Ukraine right now, but most of the world is also uniting in support of Ukraine and trying to help stop Russia in all the ways they can think to use.
If you're offended by my meme IDGAF. We could've done more to prevent this. Years of wishful thinking is what brought us to this moment.
If u want to get blocked the fastest way is to call me a reformed Republican. I've thought things thru which is more than I can say for many.
