One protester said it's her way of expressing her “Latinidad” and her religious identity. “Liberation struggles all over the world are inherently interconnected, because the systems that perpetuate violence against us are connected,” she said. “Zionism is not a thing that exists only in the state of Israel or is perpetuated by Israel alone, but exists in Latin America.”

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

Woman in pic can dye her hair but can’t shave her pits???????? WOW
These protesters are mostly just plain Losers. It’s a coalition of Losers: Malcontents, outcasts, imbeciles and other rejects. They can’t function in the world as it is so they want to tear it all down in hopes of a better chance from what emerges. You’d think the universities would see another reason for shutting down the protests, which is that they are displaying what trash they let in.
You mention malcontent: “Chapter One: The Communist and Anti-Communist CHAPTER ONE The Communist and Anti-Communist Have you ever been to the mountains? You might have seen a curious sight: a boulder, somehow shattered into a million pieces. It’s a fascinating occurrence. When you lay eyes on it, the first thing that might cross your mind is to wonder what force of nature could possibly have destroyed a boulder so old, large, and strong. The answer to that question is water. Boulders will develop cracks over time, and inevitably rainwater or runoff from melting snow will seep into those cracks. A… Read more »
Debtsor, I see that the water gets in here, too, to hit the downvote button.
If only there were protesters there to feel solidarity with the Jews when they were the victims of Roman Genocide in what was their country 2000 years ago.
Using ‘woke’ ideology to help explain why ‘students’ support murderous terrorists is very dystopian.
The irony is that Mohammad was the original colonizer and oppressor. Islam spread by the sword as the Quran has many instances of forced conversion. Contrast this with the New Testament, where several men, with no armies and little support, traveled the known world spreading the coming of Jesus. Sometimes conversions came quickly, other times it took centuries, as with the northern tribes that continued to practice paganism nearly into the new millennium. Additionally, the original tribes of Hebrew were certainly colonizers, but not oppressors, and did not want to convert new adherents. Mandatory adult circumcision for concerts was designed… Read more »
Oh, and there’s this gem of love and inclusivity: Pro-Hamas agitator at DePaul University in Chicago displays 10 fingers, followed by 7 fingers, and then the throat-slitting gesture in front of Jewish students. https://twitter.com/StopChiAntisems/status/1787240736024346948
And yet so many Jewish people in America align themselves with the party of terrorists – Democrats. I mean look no further than Pritzker.
Because there is a huge disconnect between how they collectively see themselves, and how others see them. They believe that they too are an oppressed minority after thousands of years of subjugation to foreign powers, beginning with Assyria, next King Sennacherib, then the Romans, and the Christians, culminating with the Germans during WWII. It is understandable why they feel they belong in the group of the oppressed minority and they feel solidarity in the intersectional heirarchy. But what is the past is over, and what is the present is operative. And they are now seen by others as ‘white oppressors’… Read more »
Yes, the Bible tells us God granted to the Jewish people 300,000 sq miles. The country of Israel is less than 9,000 sq miles so the Arabs should be paying rent to Israel.
Nevertheless, many American Jews seem to not really care about Israel and as Democrats wholeheartedly support terrorists. A lot of hypocrisy there it would seem. Israel would have fallen long ago if not for American Christians.
Yet they find American Christians (mostly protestants too) as *icky* and *gross* jesus people. Better to make ally with the terrorist lovers than the jesus prayers!
