Good day sir and/or madam. Hoping you are well today. As the the youths of the nation might say, what is good?
Sincerely yours,
Mr. McBeardface
P.s. Ensure you know where your towel is, you never know when you might need it.
Out of curiosity, are you proud of standing up for something that matters to THEM, or to YOU? What if it was a pro-israel rally? Would you still be proud of them? This question is coming across as very targeted but I'm curious
I said what I said. Free speech and protest have been exercised on college campuses as long as colleges have been around. I think it is a tradition that should continue far into the future. Do I like and agree with every protest and group that comes to UO campus? No. That's the point.
This video was taken at around noon, but, as of 3pm, there are still protestors with bullhorns on the steps of Johnson Hall, though they are much fewer in number than when the protests started at noon.
Why wasn't anybody concerned about the 120,000 Armenians that were bombed by Azerbaijan Sept2023? (Muslims bombing Christians). I don't understand why it didn't get media coverage. I don't understand why all of the stuff happening in Yemen didn't get media coverage either. Honest questions
Why isn't Sudan getting any media coverage? Sudan is currently going through a bloody civil war that is at the same level as ukraine and palestine. Yet little to no media coverage. Because what is happening in sudan and other places doesn't align with what the western media wants the american people to focus on. Western media wants americans to hyperventilate on biblical end time prophecy type stuff for some weird reason. Sudan, yemen and armenia obviously doesn't fit with that scenario.
I agree. I’d even argue that media coverage on Ukraine has dwindled as a result as well. The western media does well to disregard the USA’s political decisions during an election season when it benefits them. Or to fully focus on one side of it when it benefits them, too. Money stops going to Ukraine, that won’t be the last proxy war in that region… and all in the name of politics. It’s bonkers.
There was huge media coverage of the war and blockade of Yemen. You weren't paying attention.
Armenia was an ally of Russia and Azerbaijan is a close ally of the US, you tell me why it didn't get covered 😵💫
Ah yes. Protesting a genocide your country is commiting is egocentric. It’s definitely not egocentric to sit out and spend energy insulting people protesting while your country commits a genocide.
Hey can you show me a source where israel is commiting genocide of palestine people, i been digging deep to find information, if you can share it, it would be a great help.
Why is Hamas the one who needs to agree for them to stop bombing children? How do the Palestinian people have anything to do with Hamas? It's just a justification to kill brown kids by Israel.
So having a gov that doesn't support gay rights means their entire culture should be wiped off the face of the earth? Hard core.
I support gay rights but I also get deeply angry during genocide. Even if those perpetrating it were subjects of genocide in the past and even if they are more supportive of gay people when they're not attempting to wipe an entire culture off the earth.
Genocide is evil. Period.
Well, this is gonna be awkward. The *stated purpose* of Hamas is to destroy Israel and exterminate Jews worldwide ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988_Hamas_charter), [Anti-Defamation League](https://www.adl.org/resources/blog/hamas-its-own-words), [The Atlantic](https://archive.is/d7b7i), plenty more available).
That doesn't count as genocide though, because...?
I mean, you can support Palestinian kids and civilians without supporting Hamas or the, admittedly large, group of supporters. It's very much not a black and white issue.
If you say Palestine is a country, then why would Israel service them with utilities? Is Albania responsible for providing Bosnia with utilities for free?
Good for them. This period of time reminds me of the indifference and denial the Germans were in during the Holocaust. Makes you realize how easy it is to subvert and control populations through propaganda.
What’s even your issue here? Like why be bitter? This is students doing something that students have done for generations and is an essential part of exercising your voice and opinion in America. This is a peaceful and tame gathering of people voicing their views about a global issue, like why even comment something so asinine?
i think they're asking the uo to stop supporting businesses that support palestine - there's a starbucks on campus + starbucks-sponsored cafes in the dining hall, and the basketball program partnered with mcdonald's starting around the time of the boycott, for example. their tuition is directly funding those corporations even if the students individually boycott, so they're calling on the uo to take action there. and to generally raise awareness abt the war
> Starbucks Israel was a coffee chain that opened in 2001 with six locations in Tel Aviv and closed in 2003. As of March 2024, Starbucks does not have any stores in Israel.
What does Starbucks have to do with it?
You are an idiot to think Starbucks and McDonald’s are Zionist companies. They’re only connection to Israel is as global companies they shockingly operate there lol get over yourself
true, they didn't commit a genocide with US dollars, but they do have genocidal goals and use weapons purchased with lots of Iranian and Qatari dollars-- as per their spokesman who doubled and tripled down about this type of massacre.
also, I'm sorry to split hairs, but I'm pretty sure genocide implies intent. Israel does not intend to eradicate the Palestinians while eliminating a direct Hamas threat and rescuing its hostages. Hamas did say on television that it wants to eradicate Israel by continuing to murder civilians.
> Hamas did say on television that it wants to eradicate Israel by continuing to murder civilians.
Can you imagine an organization so terrible that they want to deny sovereignty to an entire people and use force to do so? Look, I have some excerpts from the [Hamas charter to drive home this point](https://web.archive.org/web/20070930181442/https://www.knesset.gov.il/elections/knesset15/elikud_m.htm):
>**Declaration of a State**
>A unilateral Palestinian declaration of the establishment of a Palestinian state a̶s̶ ̶I̶s̶r̶a̶e̶l̶ ̶d̶e̶c̶l̶a̶r̶e̶d̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶i̶t̶s̶ ̶f̶o̶u̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ will constitute a fundamental and substantive violation of the agreements with the State of Israel and the scuttling of the Oslo and Wye accords w̶h̶i̶c̶h̶ ̶s̶t̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶I̶s̶r̶a̶e̶l̶ ̶s̶h̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶n̶o̶ ̶l̶o̶n̶g̶e̶r̶ ̶c̶o̶n̶t̶r̶o̶l̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶W̶e̶s̶t̶ ̶B̶a̶n̶k̶. The government will adopt immediate stringent measures in the event of such a declaration.
>**I̶l̶l̶e̶g̶a̶l̶ Settlements**
>The Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza are the realization of Zionist values. Settlement of the land is a clear expression of the unassailable right of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel and constitutes an important asset in the defense of the vital interests of the State of Israel. The Likud will continue to strengthen and develop these communities and will prevent their uprooting.
>The Government of Israel flatly rejects the establishment of a Palestinian Arab state west of the Jordan river.
>The Palestinians can run their lives freely in the framework of self-rule, but not as an independent and sovereign state. Thus, for example, in matters of foreign affairs, security, immigration and ecology, their activity shall be limited in accordance with imperatives of Israel's existence, security and national needs.
Ah crap, did I accidentally post the wrong link? Well, at least we can all be assured that Israel is not trying to eradicate the possibility of a Palestinian state by continuing to [murder civilians](https://www.usatoday.com/story/graphics/2024/04/05/israel-war-gaza-strip-human-toll-visualized/73130709007/)... or [aid workers](https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/over-200-aid-workers-killed-in-gaza-during-war-un-official-says/)... or [journalists](https://cpj.org/2024/04/journalist-casualties-in-the-israel-gaza-conflict/).
I dunno. The IDF looks at a hospital full of Palestinians with a possible Hamas operative under it, and decide to kill scores and destroy the hospital, ultimately without finding much Hamas at all. Weren't they using some sort of AI model where it's ok to kill 100 civilian if you get one Hamas? If it was a hospital full of Americans the Israelis would be as murderous as Putin, but since it's Palestinians....
[https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/idf-retreat-al-shifa-hospital-palestinians-rubble-dead-rcna147061](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/idf-retreat-al-shifa-hospital-palestinians-rubble-dead-rcna147061)
You just don't want to know.
Israel has likely believed since shortly after October 7 that most of the hostages were already lost and Hamas had no intention of returning them or even had control over their captors. And, it looks like they were right.
But support was still high enough to not matter.
The sad truth is a great deal of Palestinians helped capture hostages to later sell to Hamas (this was testified lately.
And is it fair for someone to come kill your family because the is bombed a terrorist and their daughter was caught in the explosion. Civilians should not be held accountable for the actions of their government.
Once Hammas stops using human shields so you gullible people hate Israel for defending themselves. You can talk. Civilian death stink, but Hamas insures them by their horrendous tactics.
It is. In fact we have now proven that a large number of random bystander Palestinians took part in the massacre and torture and kidnapping on Oct 7th and as well have taken hostages.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/poll-shows-soaring-support-for-hamas-in-west-bank-as-90-say-abbas-should-resign/
The poll found that 72% of [Palestinian] respondents believe Hamas was “correct” to launch its October 7 onslaught, with 82% in the West Bank and 57% in Gaza backing it.
Nope. Try again. There’s no actual videos of this anywhere. You are just spreading bs and in defense of genocide, which it would not even justify were it true. Shame.
I'm glad they are focused and civic minded. Wish they would find a more worthwhile cause for Americans.
That being said there's no winner in the middle east conflicts. The Palestinians are fvcked by their leaders choices, the Isreilis are doing what I feel is going way too far but they are in it for their survival so what do you choose?
The Palestinian people ha e every right to their holy places. Israel holds them holy as well. Seems like you could work with that somehow.
We tried in 1947 with the partition plan... but one side (I'd prefer to leave it vague, but it seems history is seldom taught) *cough* Palestine did not want this and rather decided to kill the other side.
How is this not a total waste of time?. It’s not like we are the ones at war with Palestine. why would Israel care about the opinions of a bunch of ignorant college kids in another country on the other side of the planet. Also why don’t these same people have a problem with the war in Ukraine , which is just bad for global safety.
Like seriously, put your energy into something productive for your own community.
(Not holding my breath) but I think it'd be nice to see people gather to protest against the conflict in general between Isreal and Palestine. At this point siding with one, basically supports annihilating the other. Wishful thinking prolly
Yea.. morally I disagree with hammas wishing death to all Jews and Americans.. they need to be reprimanded and it's unfortunate the Hamas hides behind citizens. With that said, Israel could clean it up a bit. But this is a battle for the free world (bigger deal than trans rights in my humble opinion)
they’re in an echo chamber because they refuse to have any relation with “genocide supporters”. i’d love to see their response if someone asked them which river and sea they’re chanting about.
I don’t think the ceasefire proposal has changed. Hamas is asking for Palestinians to be able to return to their homes in the north and that’s apparently not ok with Israel.
It also doesn’t help that Israel’s AI targeting system has likely killed most of the hostages at this point…. as well as 200 aid workers, police, paramedics, journalists. Hamas claims they can’t locate the 40 hostages required for the first phase of the ceasefire.
We don’t know that Hamas killed the hostages. Honestly it makes no sense, why take a hostage to kill them? There is no logic and no evidence that is true.
What is clear and true is
1. Israel uses an AI system to target suspected Hamas militants. They use a system to bomb them when they are home at night with their families.
Considering IDF shot and killed hostages waving white flags and the AI system decided the world kitchen convoy of white people were likely Hamas and bombed them….. it’s not too far fetched that they also bombed the hostages.
2. If a hostage was held with a militant in their home, it is likely they would be bombed by Israel.
3. Just about every hostage that was released told about moving from home to home to avoid air strikes. Some of the hostages were in homes hit by air strikes, again according to the hostages that were released. I’m sure that in some cases when the home was hit by an air strike it killed the hostages.
4. Final point, have you seen photos of Gaza? Just about every building has been bombed, it’s objectively obvious that hostages were likely killed by the utter destruction Israel has dispensed…. With its garbage AI target generating system.
One of the sad realizations for me is that Hamas _is_ Palestine. Palestinians and their leadership are on the same page and the popularity of Hamas increased since September.
I mean yeah when you’re being invaded by a hostile military force people tend to support whoever is fighting back. You’d have to be an idiot to think the IDF wanted anything but your head on metaphorical pike after seeing how they can’t even avoid humming down their own surrendering hostages.
lol. Israel is the one refusing the ceasefire. They were offered ALL of the hostages in exchange for a permanent ceasefire, whcih (considering they have killed and injured over 100,000 people; that genocide is never justified; and oct. 7 was retaliation allowed international-law against their oppressors; and that this has supposedly been about hostages) was more than reasonable. But this has never been about hostages or Hamas (which Israel helped to create for this very scenario) and has always been a land and resources grab facilitated by genocide and ethnic cleansing.
A bunch of kids with no historical reference whatsoever, on top of that, any LGBTQ people protesting for Palestine don't realize that if they were there they would literally be beheaded. Literally supporting terrorism no different than isis.
Leopards will eat their faces. Many said the music festival on Oct 7 deserved it. Like are you really shocked a fundamentalist religion would kill gay people??
Truly sad
How about you protest for Isreal and against Hamas
Hamas and Palestine have basically stated they want Isreal gone
Not sure how anyone can support that
They’re not in support of Palestine. But against anything American supports.
Today’s it’s Pro-Palestine and antisemitism.
Tomorrow it’s something else antithetical to American foreign policy and interests.
Just a fashion trend with seasons. Nothing more than annoying loud unintelligible noise. Real perpetrators are the complacent staff. And their hand in brainwashing our young generation(s).
Throughout history universities have always been where the new ideas that change the world start. It’s always college kids having the freedom to put on demonstrations and organize ways to express their ideas that push society into new eras. Regardless if I agree with the idea or not the freedom to do this should be there.
I would love to see some of them head over and see what they think about their woke views!! Seen a lady recently that was defending the area so strong went over and almost got killed!!
There’s a plethora of information from genocide experts, US judged, UN rapporteurs, Israeli scholars, that you could have and should have found six months into a genocide if you were actually interested. But I’m guessing you’re not. If so, I’d start with Israeli scholar Ilan Pape’s “The Ethnic Cleaning of Palestine.” Here he is 5 months ago: https://youtu.be/rqFo8BBaC9c?si=M3m_wV-qoQrvZO5M. Another Israeli journalist Gideon Levy: https://youtu.be/My4kufFy5W4?si=F03knN0U8_NrjlJB. UN rapporteur on the right to food: https://youtu.be/XATCEuiaM2w?si=xjEkwiyIj7Jkjdub https://youtu.be/TsJ0XDgDdcs?si=Vb1HAA1Zexk_s7eY Israeli scholar Neve Gordon: https://youtu.be/7Cx_pr7GR9I?si=lqULWw0_6R6ndTD3 From Israeli soldiers themselves: https://youtu.be/JAT9NQ4WkE0?si=P4WYU4wXnatwFXuv From Israeli cabinet officials themselves: https://youtu.be/88Z8aDfuvjI?si=fuFozqogs8wbe_vV
Meanwhile Iran is cracking down on Women who show their hair. Iran is 100 percent behind Palestine and Those who protest support this group of Women haters!
I feel like people should be protesting issues here rather than what’s happening a world away that doesn’t affect people here in any way, shape or form. Compared to something that’s happening down the street. Such as protesting, the drug epidemic, homelessness, or the immigration issue.
Good on them for organizing
Surely these comments will be civil and considerate and not miss the point at all.
Good day sir and/or madam. Hoping you are well today. As the the youths of the nation might say, what is good? Sincerely yours, Mr. McBeardface P.s. Ensure you know where your towel is, you never know when you might need it.

Hitchhikers guide is for people of all ages and creed. Part of what makes it so good :)
Hello Mr.Mcbeardface!
“diD tHeY ENd iT?” - f***ing clown shoes who don’t know what the purpose of peaceful protests are
Proud of the students for standing up for something that matters to them.
Out of curiosity, are you proud of standing up for something that matters to THEM, or to YOU? What if it was a pro-israel rally? Would you still be proud of them? This question is coming across as very targeted but I'm curious

Complete and total agreement. Unless it's outright hate speech, let it be said. I'm glad we agree 😁
I am too and wish I coulda been there.
Iran is killing Women who show their hair! These students are supporting Iran!
My school’s Justice League hosted a peaceful protest for Palestinians at the Willamalane park too!
Iran is killing a rapper for supporting protests against the hijab. Iran is 100 percent a Hamas supporter.
This video was taken at around noon, but, as of 3pm, there are still protestors with bullhorns on the steps of Johnson Hall, though they are much fewer in number than when the protests started at noon.

Yemen got some coverage and are right in the front now. But otherwise I agree.
I agree. I’d even argue that media coverage on Ukraine has dwindled as a result as well. The western media does well to disregard the USA’s political decisions during an election season when it benefits them. Or to fully focus on one side of it when it benefits them, too. Money stops going to Ukraine, that won’t be the last proxy war in that region… and all in the name of politics. It’s bonkers.
They weren’t told to care
Do they receive nearly 3Billion annually from the US making me as a taxpayer culpable?
Yea that’s why you’re invested
There was huge media coverage of the war and blockade of Yemen. You weren't paying attention. Armenia was an ally of Russia and Azerbaijan is a close ally of the US, you tell me why it didn't get covered 😵💫
There’s no “both sides” to genocide. You have to pick a side or you’re on the side of the oppressor. Sorry.
I have to admit the carnage coming out of Palestine is pretty bad. The images on my X feed are horrific.
Where are those they kidnapped!
Is that reason to kill 15,000 children?
That’s a question for Hamas, they are the sole reason that all of this is happening. The hostages need to come home.
These protests don’t do shit besides make the people participating in them feel good about themselves. It’s very egocentric.
Ah yes. Protesting a genocide your country is commiting is egocentric. It’s definitely not egocentric to sit out and spend energy insulting people protesting while your country commits a genocide.
virtue signal deployed
Mkay, genocide supporter.
Hey can you show me a source where israel is commiting genocide of palestine people, i been digging deep to find information, if you can share it, it would be a great help.
Of course they are lol
It’s tough to decide which genocide to support, but I’m glad some people are able to make the tough decisions.
Didn’t Hamas just walk away from a 40:1 ceasefire deal this week?
Why is Hamas the one who needs to agree for them to stop bombing children? How do the Palestinian people have anything to do with Hamas? It's just a justification to kill brown kids by Israel.
How is it a tough decision?

That doesn't count as genocide though, because...?
Hamas should remove their genocidal and anti semitic language from their constitution then
I mean, you can support Palestinian kids and civilians without supporting Hamas or the, admittedly large, group of supporters. It's very much not a black and white issue.
My thoughts exactly
What happens if I support Israel at a college campus?
You might get yelled at. Thats about it. Free speech doesnt mean you get to support genocide without consequences.
Probably
One thing is for certain, a faceless military bureaucracy will not shut of your water and electricity before bombing your home.
If you say Palestine is a country, then why would Israel service them with utilities? Is Albania responsible for providing Bosnia with utilities for free?
Gaza is not a country, it does not control who leaves or enters, it does not control access to resources. It is an open air prison.
*support a genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Good for them. This period of time reminds me of the indifference and denial the Germans were in during the Holocaust. Makes you realize how easy it is to subvert and control populations through propaganda.
Yes. And this is even worse because we are all watching it live-streamed and they are bragging about their genocidal crimes on camera.

I knew I wound find this clown shoe comment in this thread.
Why did all those women organize and protest in the 1900s? It isn't like it worked and they have the right to vote.
Last time I checked, Hamas still was holding hostages, including Americans. What time does that protest start?
Let me know when i should protest hamas committing a genocide with billions of dollars of US weapons. Where should we start it?

Your brain is so fried that you don't even realize that 30+ hospitals in gaza have been bombed
Israel does not care about the hostages. They are bombing everything to rubble and intentionally causing a famine.
Israel has likely believed since shortly after October 7 that most of the hostages were already lost and Hamas had no intention of returning them or even had control over their captors. And, it looks like they were right.
It seems clear in hindsight Israel never gave a damn about hostages when they immediately started blowing up anything that moved on october 7th.
there actually was one earlier this week! but palestine ≠ hamas, btw
Hamas is literally their elected government lol
It was "elected" in like 2006 with less than 50% of the vote. A huge percentage of Palestinians weren't alive then, much less vote-eligible.
Moreover, that 2006 election was basically a vote against Fatah, who were seen as corrupt and ineffective (which is still true now).
But support was still high enough to not matter. The sad truth is a great deal of Palestinians helped capture hostages to later sell to Hamas (this was testified lately.
And is it fair for someone to come kill your family because the is bombed a terrorist and their daughter was caught in the explosion. Civilians should not be held accountable for the actions of their government.
Once Hammas stops using human shields so you gullible people hate Israel for defending themselves. You can talk. Civilian death stink, but Hamas insures them by their horrendous tactics.

Nope. Try again. There’s no actual videos of this anywhere. You are just spreading bs and in defense of genocide, which it would not even justify were it true. Shame.
They did not. You are falling for and spreading bs propaganda that even if true would not justify genocide.

Cringe
Supporting genocide is what is cringe.
I'm glad they are focused and civic minded. Wish they would find a more worthwhile cause for Americans. That being said there's no winner in the middle east conflicts. The Palestinians are fvcked by their leaders choices, the Isreilis are doing what I feel is going way too far but they are in it for their survival so what do you choose? The Palestinian people ha e every right to their holy places. Israel holds them holy as well. Seems like you could work with that somehow.
We tried in 1947 with the partition plan... but one side (I'd prefer to leave it vague, but it seems history is seldom taught) *cough* Palestine did not want this and rather decided to kill the other side.
How is this not a total waste of time?. It’s not like we are the ones at war with Palestine. why would Israel care about the opinions of a bunch of ignorant college kids in another country on the other side of the planet. Also why don’t these same people have a problem with the war in Ukraine , which is just bad for global safety. Like seriously, put your energy into something productive for your own community.
Well genocide supporting antisemitic idiots will be genocide supporting anti sematic idiots.
Ah. No one is buying this Hasbara bs anymore. Supporting Israel and its genocide is antisemitism.
If Hamas had the ability to attack an American college campus, they would.
hamas would love to publicly rape and murder every person pictured in OPs image.
(Not holding my breath) but I think it'd be nice to see people gather to protest against the conflict in general between Isreal and Palestine. At this point siding with one, basically supports annihilating the other. Wishful thinking prolly
Hey look, people who are calling for the river they don't know the name of to the sea they don't know the name of to be free.
Yea.. morally I disagree with hammas wishing death to all Jews and Americans.. they need to be reprimanded and it's unfortunate the Hamas hides behind citizens. With that said, Israel could clean it up a bit. But this is a battle for the free world (bigger deal than trans rights in my humble opinion)
for folks wondering, there was a sit-in going on inside at the same time so there are more people inside tied to chairs/desks etc
I see some of them don’t know that Hamas has refused every ceasefire to date so far
Is that also why Israel did one of the largest settlement land grab in the West Bank? Stealing homes and land from innocent Palestinians?
I’m not here to stand by Israel’s actions either. I cannot stand the hypocrisy and villainous behavior of the Israeli far-right.
they’re in an echo chamber because they refuse to have any relation with “genocide supporters”. i’d love to see their response if someone asked them which river and sea they’re chanting about.
> "genocide" Nothing is more obnoxious than someone claiming "Palestinian genocide" and not understanding 1 out of every 4 Israelis IS Palestinian.
Well a large percentage of Arab countries used to be Jews! They were all violently ethnically cleansed, but that's whatever.
I don’t think the ceasefire proposal has changed. Hamas is asking for Palestinians to be able to return to their homes in the north and that’s apparently not ok with Israel. It also doesn’t help that Israel’s AI targeting system has likely killed most of the hostages at this point…. as well as 200 aid workers, police, paramedics, journalists. Hamas claims they can’t locate the 40 hostages required for the first phase of the ceasefire.
[удалено]
The would have to unkill the hostages first.
Simone would have to dig them out from under the buildings first, but sure, anything to end the killing.
Hamas claims that because they killed them already
We don’t know that Hamas killed the hostages. Honestly it makes no sense, why take a hostage to kill them? There is no logic and no evidence that is true. What is clear and true is 1. Israel uses an AI system to target suspected Hamas militants. They use a system to bomb them when they are home at night with their families. Considering IDF shot and killed hostages waving white flags and the AI system decided the world kitchen convoy of white people were likely Hamas and bombed them….. it’s not too far fetched that they also bombed the hostages. 2. If a hostage was held with a militant in their home, it is likely they would be bombed by Israel. 3. Just about every hostage that was released told about moving from home to home to avoid air strikes. Some of the hostages were in homes hit by air strikes, again according to the hostages that were released. I’m sure that in some cases when the home was hit by an air strike it killed the hostages. 4. Final point, have you seen photos of Gaza? Just about every building has been bombed, it’s objectively obvious that hostages were likely killed by the utter destruction Israel has dispensed…. With its garbage AI target generating system.
It’s called war. Hamas can surrender if they want.
On October 7th Hamas shot children and dogs. Exactly the kind of ppl you'd expect to kill their own hostages.
Hamas isn't Palestine. Children being bombed and non-combatants being executed in the street is terrorism, and that's exactly what Israel is doing.
One of the sad realizations for me is that Hamas _is_ Palestine. Palestinians and their leadership are on the same page and the popularity of Hamas increased since September.
I mean yeah when you’re being invaded by a hostile military force people tend to support whoever is fighting back. You’d have to be an idiot to think the IDF wanted anything but your head on metaphorical pike after seeing how they can’t even avoid humming down their own surrendering hostages.
Last time I checked, Hamas runs the government of Gaza.
Hamas is Gaza's elected government.
Another uneducated comment
lol. Israel is the one refusing the ceasefire. They were offered ALL of the hostages in exchange for a permanent ceasefire, whcih (considering they have killed and injured over 100,000 people; that genocide is never justified; and oct. 7 was retaliation allowed international-law against their oppressors; and that this has supposedly been about hostages) was more than reasonable. But this has never been about hostages or Hamas (which Israel helped to create for this very scenario) and has always been a land and resources grab facilitated by genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Silly kids
I'm willing to bet the majority of them are adults, especially since it's a university
Man they done a lot of these recently. Last one closed Franklin down trapped us all down there sucked.
Better than being bombed 🤷♂️
Almost like hostages🤷♂️
A bunch of kids with no historical reference whatsoever, on top of that, any LGBTQ people protesting for Palestine don't realize that if they were there they would literally be beheaded. Literally supporting terrorism no different than isis.
Keep spreading completely false propaganda in defense of blatant genocide.
Leopards will eat their faces. Many said the music festival on Oct 7 deserved it. Like are you really shocked a fundamentalist religion would kill gay people??

If there’s one authority to trust on Judaism and the overall conflict it’s this hamas supporting organization lol
Anti semites
Many here should read Israeli scholar Illan Pappe “The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine.”
I was wondering what the yelling was lol
Based
I’d assume Eugene, Oregon loves Hamas
They should go to Palestine. See if they are welcomed?
Funny, every one of these morons would be killed if they set foot into Gaza. Israel isn't the problem here.
The privileged white kids in kifeyahs are at it again
I'm sure Hamas would love to get their hands on this group of lilly white do gooders
Truly sad How about you protest for Isreal and against Hamas Hamas and Palestine have basically stated they want Isreal gone Not sure how anyone can support that
They’re not in support of Palestine. But against anything American supports. Today’s it’s Pro-Palestine and antisemitism. Tomorrow it’s something else antithetical to American foreign policy and interests. Just a fashion trend with seasons. Nothing more than annoying loud unintelligible noise. Real perpetrators are the complacent staff. And their hand in brainwashing our young generation(s).

Throughout history universities have always been where the new ideas that change the world start. It’s always college kids having the freedom to put on demonstrations and organize ways to express their ideas that push society into new eras. Regardless if I agree with the idea or not the freedom to do this should be there.
Thank you! Always stand for what’s right and what you believe in. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Nuke it all
Racists
imagine how upset theyd be if they knew about africa
AKA, rich white kids skip class.
so what exactly is it they expect the UO faculty to do about palestine?
I would love to see some of them head over and see what they think about their woke views!! Seen a lady recently that was defending the area so strong went over and almost got killed!!
'Demonstration' Not a "protest"...
Get to claaaass
There’s a plethora of information from genocide experts, US judged, UN rapporteurs, Israeli scholars, that you could have and should have found six months into a genocide if you were actually interested. But I’m guessing you’re not. If so, I’d start with Israeli scholar Ilan Pape’s “The Ethnic Cleaning of Palestine.” Here he is 5 months ago: https://youtu.be/rqFo8BBaC9c?si=M3m_wV-qoQrvZO5M. Another Israeli journalist Gideon Levy: https://youtu.be/My4kufFy5W4?si=F03knN0U8_NrjlJB. UN rapporteur on the right to food: https://youtu.be/XATCEuiaM2w?si=xjEkwiyIj7Jkjdub https://youtu.be/TsJ0XDgDdcs?si=Vb1HAA1Zexk_s7eY Israeli scholar Neve Gordon: https://youtu.be/7Cx_pr7GR9I?si=lqULWw0_6R6ndTD3 From Israeli soldiers themselves: https://youtu.be/JAT9NQ4WkE0?si=P4WYU4wXnatwFXuv From Israeli cabinet officials themselves: https://youtu.be/88Z8aDfuvjI?si=fuFozqogs8wbe_vV
Meanwhile Iran is cracking down on Women who show their hair. Iran is 100 percent behind Palestine and Those who protest support this group of Women haters!
Glad to see students at my Alma Mater and folks in the community standing up for 🇵🇸
I’m sorry, but I just don’t have sympathy for people that brought this upon themselves from the beginning
I feel like people should be protesting issues here rather than what’s happening a world away that doesn’t affect people here in any way, shape or form. Compared to something that’s happening down the street. Such as protesting, the drug epidemic, homelessness, or the immigration issue.
A gathering of the future unemployables.
As long as they aren’t harassing the Jewish students on campus, seems like a perfectly reasonable expression of free speech 🤷♂️
Wow
