    You’re making illogical arguments then. Who cares if they don’t like us? We can still protest killing them.

    You might as well go argue with yourself, because literally your last five posts are like you are talking to someone who is not me because you sure as hell are not addressing anything that I have said

    You said they’re idiots for protesting genocide because the Muslims don’t like them, suggesting genocide of people who don’t like you is just fine.
    Are you gas lighting or having comprehension issues?

    FB, some folks on this board think they win the debate if they can spin your words against you.

    You can spin better than a top, I mean, you can fill in for KJP. What other alleged genocides have you gone ballistic over? There’s one going on in China right now but libs aren’t protesting or busting balls. It seems, like always, libs value certain lives over other lives.

    I’m not even saying it’s a genocide, but they sure think so. Are they also idiots to you for not wanting people who don’t like them to be genocided?

    Lot of these pieces of crap shout “death to America”…I really have no idea how the first amendment protects this kind of speech. They ought to be locked up as traitors.

    You don’t know how free speech lets them say death to America? Really?

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech

    if they can’t make a law against it, how could they possibly put them in jail for it?

    Uh oh, looks like someone has no idea that freedom of speech is not an absolute

    Sure, when it can cause direct harm mostly. This hurting your feelings doesn’t count.

    Are these pro Hamas? I thought they were protesting against the way Israel has responded to the attacks by Hamas.

    Not at all the same thing.

    Words can’t cause direct harm, they’re just vibrations through the air.

    https://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfre...ch,prevents government restrictions on speech.

    It’s sad you have no idea about this. Try making a public threat to an officials life sometime, see what happens. Try publicly inciting violence sometime, see what happens.


    Ohhh right, you’re going to come back and tell me threatening someone’s life or incitement to violence is one thing but threatening the country’s life is totally fine and not incitement at all.


    which would be a crock of crap. But by all means…

    They sure didn't protest against Hamas after 10/7, nor anytime after that, so that the hostages would be released.

    They didn't protest against Hamas all the years that the aid money was being used to buy rockets instead of food.

    So what would you have them charged with?

    I don’t know the protest history of those people.

    What I do know is that questioning or opposing Israel’s actions in Gaza is not the same as supporting Hamas. Not even close.

    What is it with the right wing and their imaginings?

    Under existing law, I think it definitely falls under incitement to violence in general and this in particular:

    At a Trump rally, his supporters are chanting pro Palestinian phrases. :)

    They have a right to protest, but that isn't my point. RWers are making the invalid association that pro Palestinians are only LW.

    From what I've seen, I think that's mostly correct. There are always exceptions. It just shows that no one was kicked out of the club for supporting the Palestinians. I also think the chant was more of a poke at Biden rather than a show of support towards the Palestinians.

    Certainly not at this Trump rally. I think the supporters of either party are not either one way or the other with the current conflict in the ME. This foreign policy issue is more grey than others.

    It violates people's freedom of movement, too.

    We had a gaggle of ANSWERniks go Full Retard on I-95 in Richmond, VA a couple weeks ago, too. You have to be a serious moron to think blocking roads and getting your dumb ass arrested is going to get people to sympathize with your cause.

    DEEERRRP....
