    Advantageous looting follows a lot of civil unrest. Not sure how that’s relevant here.

    The fact is that people on campus were being harassed solely based on their background. That’s okay?

    It’s not really insignificant when you’re looking at Columbia in particular. Maybe at other schools, but you just said you don’t like people bringing in irrelevant events to the discussion, so I won’t go there.

    I see you completely ignored the part where Biden condemned Israel, since it doesn’t fit your narrative. Let me guess, you won’t support the democrats because “both parties are the same”.

      He didn’t condemn Israel, he “condemn[s] those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians”, which is such passive language that it could just as easily be interpreted as ‘condemning people who don’t understand Israel’s response to violent Palestinians’.

      He’s walking a tightrope and intentionally being vague so as not to piss-off AIPAC donors.
