These schools should probably stop hiring terrorist supporters, it's not a good look. We've seen professors openly supporting Hamas and chanting for an intifada. None of that is acceptable so it makes perfect sense that those same people would be involved in the very unpeaceful encampments that have taken over some of these campuses.
Welcome aboard Hasbara agent 204.
They might have lost my paperwork, I still haven't got this money the morons claim I'm getting.
Bold to think hasbara gets you paid
But that's what you people keep saying!
what do you mean you people?
Yeah you should stop that
I'm trying, but people are too captured by their social algo to get it thru their thick skulls LMFAO. Now we're seeing even the UN coming around to reality, revising their figures but I won't hold my breath that it'll get picked up as we've clearly seen the bias has a chokehold on the ignorant.
The numbers are them just going through the remains and marking who's been identified not changing how many have been killed.
So maybe actually educate yourself?
They have cut the number of dead children in half. They've reduced the number of women by a significant factor .
It appears you're the one that's uneducated or possibly unfamiliar with what's happening as these are recent developments but there 's zero question that the claims being made by Hamas are not true and even their biggest supporters at the UN have been forced to admit that now.
With the revision of the numbers, what we now have is further proof that Israel has approached urban war with more care and concern for civilians than in any other conflict in modern history. West point Military academy as well as the Royal commission in the UK are both on record stating that to already be the case for these revised numbers.

Yes, they've cut the number of women and children by 50%. They were previously parroting a terrorist organizations talking points.
I'm not going to hold my breath. Waiting for news agencies to share this news. But all the people hand waving about women and children being targeted. Can rightfully shut the fuck up about it right now? Because even the UN who are quite clearly hand in glove with Hamas at this point can't backup the claims being made by the useful idiots on campus.
So cite where the deaths have been halfed because I already put in where it wasn't the case.
Oh cool you are denying Israel has been killing women and children
Where did I say they cut the number of deaths in half? I said they cut the number of children dead in half. Check the un stats on May 7th then check the un stats on May 12th. If you need help reading, ask your mom to step in..
So you don't have any sources.
And lack reading compression as it's only changed categories not totals
https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/13/middleeast/death-toll-gaza-fatalities-un-intl-latam/index.html
The source is literally the UN reporting itself. Look at May 6th. Look at May 8th. The UN is now saying that they don't have data to support The claims that are being made. That you are trying to twist this into anything other than what they're saying is just another example of the icj ruling where people ignorantly ran around claiming the ruled. It was plausibly a genocide. Even the president of the icj had to come out to correct the stupidity. This is exactly the same thing all over. Just like when Hamas bombed the hospital and everyone around saying it was Israel too. The ignorance being displayed by the people who desperately want to believe everything bad they hear about Israel is astonishing LMFAO.
So again not reading and only have insults and ignoring facts.

It seems one of us is aware of the facts and the other is not. The president of the panel that handed down the ruling is on record as saying opinions like the one that you're putting forward are incorrect. They did not rule there is a plausible genocide. She made that exceptionally clear.
That she even had to come out and correct the record because of people like you demonstrates just how deeply the propaganda has spread.
Not to mention the panel didn't intervene. If it was a genocide wouldn't they have done something? they intervened in Russia, Ukraine, It's absolutely within their purview to do so, yet they chose not to.
they need protection from genocide as we continue to review evidence
Yeah really great look for Israel. who continue to do the genocide
This is misinformation and is being used to purposefully deceive people.
This narrative purposefully conflates being against the genocide of innocent Palestinians with supporting Hamas.
That's not misinformation. It's widely distributed on the internet. It's easily available.
You can't gaslight people when there's dozens of video clips out there proving reality.
Missinformation is 'widely distributed on the internet' aswell
The internet is the perfect distribution vehicle for misinformation .
We've seen the world swallow Hamas propaganda for months as it relates to the death toll. This week. We're seeing the UN itself, revising its numbers and reducing the number of children dead by nearly half.
This is a war of information as much as it's a bloody one. Iran, Qatar and its proxies are working overtime to make sure that the white Western saviors among Us gobble it all up.
Oh, so you acknowledge that Israel is committing genocide then?
The Palestinian population will be greater than 2025 than it was in 2023. Their culture is alive and strong within Israel itself with 2 million Arabs living pretty darn well.
It's the worst genocide man has ever seen if it is one.
That's the same argument I used to hear from holocaust deniers, just saying
That's an absurd statement. Jewish population still has not recovered from the Holocaust. That's an undisputed fact.
There's no comparison to be made by any logical or sane person on this. However, much of a tragedy we are seeing on folding Gaza. We are not seeing people packed into cattle cars and sent into gas Chambers.
Stop stop at the Holocaust abuse. Comparing these two is absolutely abusing the tragedy of the Holocaust for a political purposes.
Balls so huge they cause problems? I can empathize.
The lizard people have taken over too!
No we haven’t
