  1. why do Jewish students feel hating Israel is a direct attack on them? /rhetorical question.
  2. meaning you support free speech restrictions on Palestinian protestors.
  3. how many remain active? Isn't there a website for that?
  4. the choice is violence against the Israeli army, settlers, or Jewish civilians within Israel - the other binary option is non violence which is also just as fruitless because Israel will do whatever it feels like doing. Either way, the Arabs cannot do anything at all against Jewish power.
  5. most people here are against the cop abuse =/= they support Hamas. Good grief.
  6. who are you quoting? Also the correlation in the bold doesn't make sense.
  7. yes, but shouldn't take years to figure this out, should be 2 seconds. I'm poking you in jest, but this is the #1 problem in cultural thinking, same mistake that the Austin City Councilwoman made. People are seriously oversensitive to Jewish feelings, obviously due to the Holocaust, and Zionists won't stand in the way of correcting that incorrect correlation.
  8. what if Jews used antisemitism as justification for carrying out their authoritarian fantasies? agreed that is intimidation and should not happen. Pro-Palestinian groups need to select venues carefully, unless the synagogue is holding a pro-Israel fundraiser then it's fair game. Also would like to add that nothing that flows from this political conflict is antisemitic at the root; anti-Semitism is something completely different , deeper, pernicious, historical, much more religious than political.
  9. no, it has everything to do with that. Why do the feelings of Jewish students matter when someone shouts "Death to Israel!". ? Why would the feelings of Chinese-American students matter if someone shouts "Death to China!". Two things are happening: 1. the most common fallacy that hating Israel (anti-Zionism) is the same thing as hating Jews (anti-Semitism) 2. Jewish Americans are actually Israeli first and not Americans first.
  10. i don't understand how anti-Israel protests make Jewish students feel unsafe. Of course if Jewish students are being physically assaulted or intimated, that's obvious, or "kill all Jews". Otherwise, even the most hateful speech toward Israel is strictly political. my silly analogy -- suppose anti-China protests get hateful "bomb Beijeng!" "Death to China!" , "Tibet destroy China!" . Should Chinese Austinites feel intimidated??
  11. neris goes 3.86 to 5.14 in one swing . Still, better than many on the Stros.
  12. spaghetti lowered the ERA to a respectable 10.97, now replaced by Dubin's 8.10. At least we are going in the right direction on that.
  13. very close to the 2nd worst record in baseball
  14. guys you know Houston was favored AGAIN tonight? holy crap. 14.83 ERA!
  15. he's going to be reelected in a landslide as usual. It's a nation of deplorables.
  16. a good chunk of people seriously believe these protests are nothing but about anti-semitism.
  17. has Ted Cruz relayed his thoughts?
  18. the media narrative of anti-semitism on campus is such horsepoop. A wild analogy -- suppose thousands were protesting the nation of China, should any Chinese student walking by feel threatened?
  19. i was there too, one time Jesse Jackson showed up for a speech in the blazing heat and humidity. One time the UT President came down from the tower to make a statement to the crowd, one black girl ran up to the podium and ripped his papers. Damn disrespectful. The South Africa issue had widespread support from liberals and Black Americans - the Palestine one doesn't have those kind of demographics at all. The Israeli issue is intractable and they keep getting more and more money every time -- a whopping $17 Billion (26 -9 for poors) just yesterday. It's amazing.
  20. troubles in paradise https://www.fox7austin.com/news/palestine-israel-gaza-rally-college-university-texas-campus AUSTIN, Texas - Hundreds of students walked out of class at the University of Texas today to rally for Palestine and attempt to occupy the South Lawn on campus. The students are marching on campus now. Hundreds of Texas state troopers are also at the scene.
  21. tis a throwaway season, a setup for 2025. We'll experiment a lot, won't play the SPs as much, take it easy - work on hitter technique. 2025 is serious business.
