L.A. and nationwide ICE raids/protests thread

You’re attempting to back up your false claims with generalities and the more specific questions I ask you the more general you get. But I will try again. Let’s refer to this post. You wrote that the left defends terrorists. Which terrorist? When? You wrote that there is support for Hamas on college campuses. Please provide an example of a major campus student leader or teacher saying “I support Hamas!” Or “I support what Hamas did on Oct 7.” Not criticism of Israel, not “from the river to sea” which can have more than one meaning but SPECIFICALLY support for Hamas. 
 

I’ll wait. 

I consider the allowance for Hamas supporters at Columbia and other campuses to be enough.  That is all I need.  I see those on the right assailing it, and those on the left allowing it.  I need nothing more than that to hold my view. But there is so much more....  your better bet here is to establish that support for Palestine is not support for Hamas, which is the deflection I think most politicians use to hide their intentions, but again, actions matter.  If people can correlate support for Israel to support for oppression, well, we can do that back.... 

Rashida Tlaib  has participated in pro-Palestinian rallies and speeches, using the zero-tolerance stances of modern liberalism, we can establish that any support for Hamas-related elements is therefore unacceptable....again, not my rule, its your side that allows absolutism to rule...

Ilhan Omar Accused Israel of committing “war crimes” during its military operations, so then by extension the October 7th work was war crimes? And then by extension when you support Palestine you support Hamas and war criminals?  Even some in her own party have been forced to call out her antisemitism

Omar reportedly arrived on Campus and embraced the banned Kymani James, who was banned for stating ‘Zionists don’t deserve to live’ and people should be grateful James wasn’t killing them.”(“ADL Accuses Rep. Omar Of ‘Blood Libel’ For Saying Some Jewish Students Pro-Genocide,” The Times Of Israel, 4/28/2024)

Oh and lets not forget that the little coward (james) posted pictures of himself with Rep. Ayanna Pressley describing her as ‘my mentor and friend.’”(“ADL Accuses Rep. Omar Of ‘Blood Libel’ For Saying Some Jewish Students Pro-Genocide,” The Times Of Israel, 4/28/2024)

 

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has supported Palestinian protesters and called for a ceasefire when it was time for Israel to respond to criminal actions by Hamas, In 2021, submitted a resolution to block a U.S. arms sale to Israel. visited the Columbia University encampment in support of the Hamas supporters.  When police finally stepped in to quell the antisemitic filth, her little buddy Jamaal Bowman criticized the police for doing it....because....you see....we ALLOW Hamas terrorist a voice....but JEWS need to be suppressed....if you are a liberal at least....(“‘Squad’ Members Descend On Columbia Encampment, Offer 'Support' For Anti-Israel Agitators,” Fox News, 4/26/2024)

nti-Israel protesters, meanwhile, have been heard chanting ‘Al-Qassam, you make us proud, kill another soldier now!’ ‘We say justice, you say how. Burn Tel Aviv to the ground!’ and ‘Hamas, we love you. We support your rockets, too!(“‘Squad’ Members Descend On Columbia Encampment, Offer 'Support' For Anti-Israel Agitators,” Fox News, 4/26/2024)

Jamaal Bowman, when asked if he’s OK with the protestors occupying Columbia building.  ‘The protestors are gonna do what they got to do. For me, it needs to just remain nonviolent, make sure no person is harmed in the process.(CNN’s Manu Raju, @mkraju, Twitter, 4/30/2024)

 

When they bother to speak out, its not about anything other than worry about their power....

Democrats split over campus protest crackdown

Quote

Democratic strategists acknowledge that Biden needs to turn out young voters to the polls in November to win, and that polls show that a majority of them feel more sympathetic to Palestinians than Israelis amidst the mounting death toll in Gaza.

 

SOOOOO....yeah, your people have allowed this to transpire.....because they hate Jews....if this were some white supremacists doing this to black people they would send in the Marines....but since they hate Jews....well...fock them....right?

It took me two seconds to look this up: what you’re quoting is her initial comments when she thought what was going on had a peaceful, “block party” atmosphere. She very quickly corrected herself. When violence and damage to property occurred she declared the whole thing unlawful and had the police disperse it. 
So once again you misrepresent.  

The following article is from AFTER she made the comments I referenced above and BEFORE CHAZ was removed.  It PROVES that what you're saying in this post is factually Bullsh*t:

This is BS.  And that compound was allowed to exist until early July before she disbanded it.  People died inside CHAZ because first responders couldn't get to them during this time.  As I said you interpret everything said or done by a lefty in the best possible light, but there's no good light CHAZ can be seen in. 

What I wrote in response to you was almost an exact quote from an AI generated response to the question “Did Jenny Durkin support CHAZ.”? And the answer is pretty clear: once it turned violent she did not. I would call her response, based on what I’m reading, weak and inept. But that’s not what you wrote nor implied. Incompetence is far different from ideological endorsement which is what you and others inferred.

Jerry, if your original comment had been something like “I am concerned that leftist elements within the Democratic Party are too tolerant sometimes of people that either commit violence or endorse violence,” I never would have started this. I might have taken issue with a few specifics but in general I would have agreed with such an analysis. But when you and @RLLD and others make blanket statements like “Democrats support violence”, “Democrats support Antifa”, “Democrats support Hamas”, etc, etc, that is when I have to take strong issue because it’s bullsh!t. 

Given the allowance for violence, I think the inference of support is valid.

You need to do some research in to AI.  It's not really "intelligent" and is prone to innacuracy.  But it's still more intelligent than you are.

Antifa is the standard "name it something good" tactic of leftists when implementing something harmful.  Regardless of the moniker they choose their actions are absolute fascistic.   They are anarchists who only want the destruction of our nation, which makes them ready partners for Democrats.

Let's clear things up even further:  "BLM/Antifa" are Marxists and Communists.  They are "anti-Fascist" only in the sense that THEY fight against Fascists.  This akin to Black Power members fighting the KKK and calling themselves "anti-racists".  They are just as racist as those they claim to fight against. 

BLM/Antifa want their authoritarian Marxism/Communism - which is even MORE brutal - in place of this fake Fascism they claim to fight.  They aren't fighting "the good fight" at all - they're fighting for power (and money) so THEY can line people up against the wall instead of the supposed "Fascists".  And let's be real here: "Fascists" are anybody they disagree with, not necessarily actual Fascists.

Umm... allowing something to happen is exactly "tacit endorsement":

Quote

tacit endorsement 
noun

A form of approval or support that is implied rather than explicitly expressed.

Example
The committee's tacit endorsement of the new policy was evident in their lack of objections.

Synonyms
implicit approval, silent endorsement, unspoken support

https://getidiom.com/dictionary/english/tacit-endorsement

Allowing Antifa to take over CHAZ was a tacit endorsement of Antifa.  

Well, other than Durkin with her "block party" vibe, that's an explicit endorsement.  And the socialist Councilwoman I mentioned earlier. 

It was also a dereliction of their sworn commitment to protect the people that lived and worked in those areas.

The issue is that he's looking for statements like "I support Hamas!!!" When there is literally no politician that would come out directly and say that. Their actions and other statements put together will support that stance, but he won't believe it because they didn't "explicitly say."

Only on the left.  If Trump says some Mexicans are violent Tim interprets that to mean Trump is racist and wants to commit genocide against all brown people.

This. Times a kajillion. It's impressive that MAGA and associated parties continue to return to these lies, then seemingly double down on the rhetoric every time a violent rightie starts shooting at people, like the MN assassinations. 

You all HATE when a "shitlib" says disparaging things about ALL REPUBLICANS but can't stop yourselves from doing the same shlt. If I call MAGA racist, all of the same dopes in here word-vomiting hate against lefties will freak out on me for being a liar. Deservedly so, because it's a dirty, hateful lie that just causes unnecessary division. So why can't you practice what you preach?
