They way you approach this, equating "pro-Palestine" with "pro-[a bunch of other things you do not approve of]," supposedly the same can be applied to "pro-Israel"; e.g., "pro-taking/occupation of land by force," "pro-bombing hospitals," "pro-bombing civilians," "pro-mass displacement of civilians," etc. An approach conducive to neither truth, peace, nor understanding.
No, the same cannot be applied. The points that I brought up about Palestine are all completely separate from anything dealing with Israel and any threat the citizens would face from Israel. If Israel didn’t exist, Palestinians would be throwing gays from roofs. They would be subjugating their women. Israel has nothing to do with the rape culture in Palestine. All of the things you try to point out as counters aren’t. Those are National Security decisions. Israel doesn’t bomb hospitals, they attack missile batteries and bases. That the enemy chooses to hide those batteries and bases in hospitals and use schoolchildren as human shields does not reflect badly on Israel, but must purely be blamed on the Palestinians.

Wonder if Bragg charges them?
Andy McCarthy on the arrests and charges:
"That's all well and good, but the question is: Will Bragg prosecute them? After all, it's not like they falsified their business records or anything ..."

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Supposedly, at UCLA a Jewish girl was beaten unconscious.
From what I'm reading, this went on for almost two hours. With no major police presence.
Things that make you go hmmm....

BTW, who is paying the Protest Consultant?
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

That life takes money to live and travel. Where's the money coming from?

I bet google searches of "how to set up a tent" has gone through the roof
I'm sure these came with instructions. I saw several on their "campground".

Note the price, although I'm sure they can be found cheaper.

Cry harder:
Again, I'm all for being fair. Charge and prosecute the students for misdemeanors. If they miss finals, tough cookies.
Charge and prosecute any non-students vigorously. If that also means misdemeanors, so be it. If they are known agitators, throw the book at them.

I think that these "protests" will quickly die down now. Two weeks from now, there wont be much left, especially after the semester has ended for most of the schools.

Do you think Fani has some tips?
Probably has two. Ask Nathan Wade.
