1. Or Iran? Or Somalia? Or Yemen?

22,000 people verified slaughtered in Iran in less than a week - so far (many thousands dead but unverified so not added to the official death toll). Not a peep… 🤔






(No Jews)

4. The selective outrage is quite revealing

[AZProgressive]

12. I was upset about Saudi Arabia's genocide of Shia in Yemen

I spoke up against Saudi Arabia going back to the Obama administration. I wouldn't ally with them if I were the US. Not to familiar with what is going on in Somalia but I know Israel is one of the only countries to recognize the breakaway Somalialand region and wants to deport Palestinians to there.

Iran I'm against their regime but also don't support failed coup attempts facilitated by Trump.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

2. I will never get tired of people getting mad about this honestly.

"ugh don't protest like that. don't protest that cause. why aren't you protesting something else?? also if you protest you'll get arrested, kicked out or deported. HEY WHY AREN'T PEOPLE PROTESTING???"

[leftstreet]

3. Oh FFS n/t

5. Were there "events" happening in Gaza??

Looks like I missed those. I did, however see lots of war crimes, manufactured starvation and kids blown to smithereens.

But I digress.

Nothing would hearten me more than to see our youth rise up against the fascism and brutality of the Trump Regime, as they did against the genocide.

But you know what? They would meet the same fate on campus now as the anti-genocide protesters did. Silenced, expelled, deported, jailed, blacklisted etc. Protests on campus have been criminalized and severely restricted.

It's a case of be careful what you wish for....

6. In fairness, that was a different time. Until Oct 7 2023, we had peace and sanity. We've been in nonstop chaos

and trauma for the last year with no sign of relief anywhere in sight. There's literally nobody sane in charge. Many of the students may have graduated, been deported or expelled and their priorities have obviously shifted.

[LuvLoogie]

7. I think they were/are present at No Kings.

Where's Occupy Wall Street? Where's Antifa?

I think more than a few have been rounded up by ICE/DHS and have been detained/incarcerated while several Dems vote to fund and enable this regime--46 of them in January, while leadership rolled over in March.

Any way the world has moved on to trump's Board of Piece of Gaza aka The Kushner Strip planning committee.

[Torchlight]

8. What conclusions do you draw from all this?

Something of great substance and weight, I would imagine.

[Whyisthisstillclose]

9. There was a lot of selective outrage during Biden's term.

[IbogaProject]

10. I suspect those Gaza protests were funded

I suspect those protests were funded to help Cheeto's campaign plus to establish the precedent of restraint on protests. The funding seemed to dry up right in November 2024.

[iemanja]

18. You sound like the right wing claiming the Minneapolis protestors are paid.

What makes you think people who have had family members murdered need to be paid?

[IbogaProject]

31. Here in NYC there was definitately suspicious financial support

Yes I am aware of the horrors in Gaza. I have known of that issue for 35 years now as I know someone who's family was displaced in the late 40s. But there seemed to be extra support for the protest encampments while that was happening, yes most are genuinely horrified about the slaughter there but the glib way "gennocide Joe" was put out there stoked my suspicions. And I noticed and heard that the external support for those encampments and protests evaporated in the fall of 2024.

[iemanja]

32. Protests did not evaporate

They continued all around the country, well into the Trump term. What you "heard" is irrelevant without evidence. Every time one of these posts appears, respondents are demonstrated with copious evidence that hundreds of protests continue. Their attachment to a false narrative is all that matters to them, and they repeat it despite continually being proven it is false. The effect is to undermine the legitimacy of the cause of stopping genocide.

There is actual proof, admitted by the Israeli government, that they pay approximately $7,000 a post for content that
undermines the truth about their war crimes. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/israel-is-paying-influencers-7-000-per-post/ar-AA1NCsv2

Do you have any such proof?

[AZProgressive]

11. I think the same people that would be upset about a genocide

Are also the same ones upset about federal paramilitary occupations of blue states/cities.

Trump severely curtailed free speech on college campus so many may be reluctant but just because you don't hear or the media doesn't cover it doesn't mean that the same people aren't also upset about this.

It seems those that support the genocide like Bari Weiss also support what ICE is doing in the US.

[BlueNProud]

14. A very effective RW op as proven by the lack of outrage since 12026.

[Eko]

15. I would think that the largest protests currently are outside campus's, so they are joining the larger ones.

But ya got ya narrative to follow so,,,

[fujiyamasan]

16. Combination of factors

While some of it was a genuine concern for Palestinian lives and an anger over sending arms to Israel, much of it was the same old shit — anti semitism and a need to act like they were part of an important cause.

But I’ve noticed they quieted down once the deportations stepped up. Contrary to what many here believe this generation isn’t particularly progressive, liberal, or even serious about anything. It’s also more homophobic than the previous generation. It’s telling that when the administration is terrorizing American cities they shut up and act compliant.

Maybe many of those protests were funded by Russia or the GOP. It was good bait.

[AloeVera]

22. They "quieted down" after thousands were arrested, beaten, jailed and the camps brutally cleared. Under Biden.

Have people forgotten all of that?

Wow, you are calling "much" of the students anti-semites? WTF? And stooges? And homophobic? Anything else you can insult them with, perhaps that they are Trump supporters? Maybe they were all "in on it", this evidence-free accusation that they were funded by the GOP (or Putin)??

Way to go smearing the brightest of the young generation acting on their youthful ideals that genocide and mass murder of civilians is wrong. A belief many of their "liberal" elders seem to have abandoned but who have no problem parroting evidence-free AIPAC talking points.

[iemanja]

17. Where do you think the protests at the Graduate Hotel are?

Jesus. Watch the news.

[betsuni]

19. Dark $ funding for instant moral Fight the Power group identity activities OK if against Democrats.

No fighting spirit against Republicans because ... um ... it's too dangerous? Or something.

[Deep State Witch]

20. College Kids Care More About Palestine

Than they do about their own country.

[iemanja]

21. You obviously did no homework

Because there are many dozen videos showing ICE protestors on college campuses available through a basic Google search.

[AloeVera]

23. Shhhh..... It doesn't fit the narrative.. nt

[SunImp]

28. I doubt anyone of these people here saying there's no more Palestine protestors don't even go to protest

They just sit here and bitch and moan & think highly of themselves.

[Ms. Toad]

24. Have you started any?

Have you spent any significant time on college campuses to see what life is like there now that not only Federal but State governments are prohibiting free speech - and punishing both students and faculty for speaking out? Every semester evaluation now includes a mandatory question about whether the instructor is nice enough to the poor little right wing babies. Not worded that way explicitly, but it is the result of laws which require they not be offended. Trans individuals are forced to tolerate being referred to by their gender assigned at birth, and the name given by their parents. Dumping this on their shoulders, simply because some of them saw fit to protest mass slaughter of Palestinians (which, FYI, is not happening here yet) under a different administration (which didn't slash funding, sue protesters, and deport individuals here lawfully simply for exercising their first amendment rights) is pretty rude, unless you are on campus organizing the protests you complain are non-existent.

[Jack Valentino]

25. It isn't 'spring' yet... in fact it's pretty goddamned dangerously COLD right now...

and such protesters were pretty severely persecuted legally for their 'encampments'---
including many being kicked out of colleges, and even prosecuted criminally in some cases---
(so much for moral protest!)


Two months from now I will hope for some such action from them---

in the meantime, Israel's GENOCIDE against the people of GAZA
has completely gone off of ANYONE's 'radar', including the young--- YES ??

(but not off of MINE... and it seems to continue, but gets no news coverage)



PFFFFFFFT.

[SocialDemocrat61]

26. There are protests

They are not getting the media coverage because a democrat is not President.

[Pisces]

27. There were protests last week at many colleges!! Just no media reporting

[vanessa_ca]

29. Uninformed clickbait -eom

[mcar]

30. Good question. nt
