    the Senate statement was against pro-Hamas student groups, not pro-Palestinian groups.

    Not true. Like most of rest of the government, the Senate don’t distinguish between the two, lumping in advocating on behalf of innocent civilians with support of terrorism.

    It’s the “BDS should be illegal” bullshit all over again 🤬

      From the article you clearly didn’t read:

      … the U.S. Senate passed a unanimous resolution condemning what it called “anti-Israel, pro-Hamas student groups” …

        Yeah I did. Operative words being WHAT IT CALLED pro-Hamas.

        Claiming that them calling every pro-Palestine student group pro-Hamas proves that it’s true is some asinine circular logic and/or blind trust that the people in charge are reasonable and unbiased rather than corrupt demagogues with financial ties to the apartheid regime and its PR apparatus.

      BDS is and always has been a hate group against Israel. Much like Hamas, they don’t care about the Palestinians, but instead just use them for their propaganda.

        Gtfoh with that nonsense!

        BDS stands for Boycott, Divest, Sanction and is a framework for regular people and companies to avoid accidentally supporting the Israeli apartheid regime, specifically the illegal settlements in the West Bank.

        The BDS framework is specifically an alternative to violence and discrimination and other abuse against those that are not at fault.

        That you would call that a hate group and even compare it to a terrorist group just proves that you’re completely clueless and going by what lying demagogues from both parties tell you.
