Now that's what I call dedication to the cause, lol

But, for those of us who don't speak social media, what's an NOI feed?

Ignore the protestors who are taking over buildings and keeping you from going to class?

I meant the peaceful protestors, but yeah, if they should still be ignored by the student body when they start tearing shit up....that's a job for the cops.

You don’t think making gorilla noises towards black people is racist at all? 

That's not what you said. You said that racists have overtaken the counter-protests. The implication is that the people displaying the American flag and singing the anthem are engaging in racism. They're not.

Gorillas are powerful and majestic beings and are considered highly intelligent.  Maybe he was honoring her.

What if the gorilla guy was a pro-Hamas agitator sent in to discredit the counter-protestor ?!?!?11!1!?

LSU.  The university that has a campus full of lakes....the location of which was selected by Huey Long to keep Southern (OMG BLACK PEOPLE!) from being built adjacent to it.  Yes.  I'll be taking my cues on justice and the treatment of people from....LSU.

What relevance does that have today?  You telling me a Democrat governor in the South 100 years ago was racist?  No shit.

I don't get how that's "patriotic." I understand flying the Israeli flag as part of a counterprotest, but what's with waving the American flag and singing the National Anthem in response? I mean, polls show that more Americans support an independent Palestinian state than don't, and official US policy has long worked toward a two-state solution.

You can’t be serious. Other than liberal arts majors that go to law school, they have hard time finding work straight out of school.

A lot of protestors are shouting anti-american chants and are taking over colleges. Most Americans are against hipsters and MEs taking over colleges.

Probably something to do with the idiots that tried to take down the American flag at UNC, resulting in viral videos of frat bros protecting the U.S. flag and getting like $500K in go fund me towards a rager, resulting in other frat bros across the country seeing it go viral and joining in on the action.   It was just as predictable as the idiotic protest spreading across the country in the first place.  Tik Tok generation gonna Tik Tok generation.

And I would love to see polls showing any kind of majority support for anything regarding Palestine after the last 2 weeks.  I would be willing to bet a large sum that the idiot protestors have absolutely destroyed public support for their cause.

How many National or SEC championships does Israel have? The youth really suck at insults. And that goes for the pro-Palestine protestors that couldn’t think of an easy clapback to that too.

To be honest, I would have to give them 1967.

Okay, that makes some sense. It just seems stupid for Ole Miss and LSU students to conflate their fellow students' support for Palestine with one idiotic action at UNC. I'll grant you that those two schools are known for their high academic standards, though.

The best I can do poll-wise for you is Gallup from early March. Has your view on Palestinian independence changed at all because of protests on American college campuses? Mine hasn't in the slightest, but I do think a lot of the protesters' antics are stupid as hell.

That’s more un-American than anything that’s been said at these protests. Did WW1 & WW2 not happen?

I sure as hell don’t. Most UT fans are happy that we’re joining the best football conference in the land. We have a lot more in common with the SEC schools than any other conference. I absolutely hated the talk of us joining the PAC 12. Football season is going to be a hell of a lot more fun.

Is logic not your strong suit?

Pretty easy to follow...free speech is an American (IE Patriotic) ideal...so let them say whatever they want.  You don't need to like what they say...in fact, that's the point.

Black cops work KKK rallies all the time without reacting.  That's being a patriot...

We've proven we can win the NC in any conference; we don't need the SEC to play good football.  

On the flip side, name a good academic institution in the SEC aside from Vandy?  Maybe Florida?

Two points

- It doesn't really count if you received help from the Dutch

- Mexico wasn't fighting in WW1

Note it says percentages for those that do not have an opinion are not shown.  I'm betting that was a material percentage. I'm also betting that percentage is materially lower now and it skews heavily in favor of "Oppose". I think the protests have been an absolute PR disaster for anyone supporting a free Palestine.  The reality is the vast majority of Americans don't take the time to critically analyze any domestic issue much less foreign issues as complicated as Israel/Palestine.   But a bunch of radicals effectively taking over college campuses is going to make a lot of people automatically oppose whatever it is they stand for.
