(93,686 posts)...with that nasty projection of yours.
It's one thing to disagree with a protestor or group protesting in NY, and quite another to equate mostly peaceful protests with 'supporting' terrorists.
I have no way of knowing if any of the people you've singled out 'support Hamas' in any material way. That would be a crime in the U.S. and punishable by some pretty severe laws.
But that's not what your post said, is it?
"The demonstrators support Hamas. Their goal is not the safety and well-being of Gaza's people, their goal is victory for Hamas in its crusade to kill and drive away the Jews of Israel." you wrote in your op.
That's projection at best, sophistry at its heart.
I can't help but conclude that this is what any enemy of Israel or the U.S. wants to occur; to have us casting all sorts of aspersions at 'demonstrators in NY' and elsewhere who are using dialogue instead of weapons to communicate their differences.
You don't like what they're saying and so you've attached the worst of what you can project onto their demonstrations; not against some specific individual or group, but this nebulous, biased representation of what you believe is a 'demonstrator in NY'.
You didn't post anyone demonstrating who is "openly advocat(ing) torture, rape, and murder of Jews." You just said 'demonstrations in NY" are doing this.
"The demonstrators support Hamas."
That's what you wrote.
If I was a cop, I'd be asking for proof right about now.
