Seriously ! They are terrorists masquerading as journalists. Not journalists with ideologies . Come on, Jill. Let’s focus on how young Democrats have adopted an ideology that is anti woman, anti lgtbtq, anti freedom speech and have no idea that they are supporting terrorists.

Wow. So from your previous comment, you said that Jewish people are being unfairly targeted (“bullying”, “boycott”) and then you call every Palestinian a terrorist. That is simply Arab racism. You manage to directly contribute to this current genocide that takes money from our schools and our streets because you don’t think Palestinians have the right to live.

Jill, thank you for this. I am glad to hear all of this from you. A friend of mine talked about the prevalence of non trained journalists because all of the other journalists have been murdered. I agree that Israel shows that it doesn’t want the world to know the truth of the genocide it is committing. And, it has shown that a two state solution is not possible, because Israel never supported it when it had ample opportunities since the Oslo accords, world leaders never held Israel accountable to do it, and right now is the conclusion of a “two state” that is really a colonizer occupying a Palestinian state that was never recognized. A one, democratic, non apartheid state is what we must demand moving forward.

Why can’t we call our terrorists without making it about Arab racism ? Give me a break. You make a lot of judgements about I think. I think the Palestinians deserve freedom, hope, the ability to raise their children with peace and prosperity. That cannot happen under the Hamas regime. If you cared about the Palestinians you would want the people of Gaza from from radical Islamists that are part of the Muslim Brotherhood terrorists too. This would all end. Keep supporting terrorists and it never will.

Yes but your comment makes it sound like you call all Palestinians t-rists. If you actually believe that about Palestinians, than you make that distinction. Because what you wrote sounds like all in Gaza are t-rists. That all journalists who work that are. You can’t go from saying vaguely that all Jewish people are being targeted and then all people in Gaza are t-rists. That language is important to catch when you write.

And you are an authority on what I can say and think. 🤔
