A flurry of Harvard students and groups are trying to backtrack on their support of a letter blaming Israel — as some business titans seek to blacklist them from future jobs.

      I said that the Harvard students supporting Hamas were antisemitic. I’m not sure how that makes my point about technical norms on lemmy/kbin ironic, do you maybe have a little bit of trouble with the English language? Do you need a grown-up to teach you what the word “irony” means?

        you:

        I said that the Harvard students supporting Hamas were antisemitic

        That statement by them didn’t even mention Hamas. Your refusal to look at the Palestinian people as anything but a force to be fought against is disturbing

        Quite disappointing to see kbin users attempt to justify a military blockade of people who use every weapon they can get to try to kill your civilians, and try to turn every resource they can get into weapons, is not “an open air prison.”

        -Guess the KBIN users must be antisemites.

        The UN might be a little bit biased here. Maybe.
        It’s almost like they have a consistent history of appointing antisemites.
        There may be a reason Israel doesn’t fucking trust them.

        -Guess the literal U.N. must be antisemites.

        The irony is your trying to go around saying take it easy on a person belligerently calling for people to have their lives ruined while simultaneously justifying the treatment of human beings as something less than. Your right, more disgusting than ironic. The only lesson you’re qualified to teach anyone is how not to be a decent human. You seem to have a knack for it.

          yes, that’s why it was antisemitic. Did you read the comment you’re replying to? I pointed that out very specifically.

          They blamed the violence exclusively on Israel. Do you want to comment on why they didn’t blame the violence on the people doing the violence? Do you see why I might have brought that up?

          Your refusal to look at the Palestinian people as anything but a force to be fought against is disturbing

          The Palestinian people are people who deserve freedom. Your refusal to condemn their real oppressors is disturbing.

          -Guess the KBIN users must be antisemites.

          I didn’t call that user an antisemite, did I?

          -Guess the literal U.N. must be antisemites.

          Why not include the links I shared? The links that literally explained the antisemitic remarks by those UN officials? Do you not want to see how maybe some of the people accused of antisemitism are maybe actually antisemites?

          belligerently calling for people to have their lives ruined

          That’s not something that happened.

          while simultaneously justifying the treatment of human beings as something less than.

          that’s also not something that happened.

          I really hope people here aren’t stupid enough to believe your lies.
