(15,734 posts)with creating the feeling that Palestinians are victims. Seems pretty straight forward to me. There's a difference between are the and are victims. There's no question on the latter. And there's pretty solid rationale that obliterating Gaza is not a solution.
Side note: I am generalizing here. No doubt there is some anti-semitism coming into play in some of the stuff going on in campus "protests". But I certainly don't believe that "anti-semitism" drives the protests. I'm a child of the 50s and 60s. Absent the encampments that have become, well, not unique and maybe not as uncommon as some may think since the Occupy movement, the human emotions involved in these protests remind me very much of the campus protests of the 60s. I viewed then and still view those protests as a positive.
