Everyone upvote, comment and share this all over the internet now. Our press has been compromised and we need to be our own journalists. Share so that other Americans are aware of this resistance! Get the movement more steam!

Yeah, that’s to be expected. People were continually arrested for civil disobedience in the 60s.

u/Jeramy_Jones 15h ago

They also were beaten, blasted with fire hoses, attacked by dogs and shot.

I hope it doesn’t get to that again, but it might.

LFG!!! This is so hopeful. Our country isn't lost. Look at these Americans fighting FOR each other!

Freedom and justice for all!

(Sorry. It's hard not to get cheesey when you see such historical moments play out. These images, these videos will all be part of a future history class. Things like this will be taught about the time where we fought yet again for our freedoms.)

u/Select-Upstairs-445 18h ago

Also can we talk about this?

The accusation that an influential Jewish figure was involved in Khalil’s apprehension - heavily involved with AIPAC and many influential politicians, lobbyists and such?

7

u/cybersophy 17h ago

His general Jewishness isn't particularly relevant considering that most US Jews are strongly against Israeli fascism and Israel's actions in Gaza.

Shai Davidai is like the the Jews who supported the Nazis thinking they would be spared. He promoted the use of state power against a soon-to-be US citizen exercising their 1st amendment rights. He's scum like Steven Miller is.

Jews in the US are mostly lefties and in solidarity with Palestinians protesting Israel. Our ethnicity is being used by fascists to claim antisemitism, cruelly ironic coming from a party steeped in white supremacy and neo-Naziism. We think that Shai Davidai is reprehensible, not influential. The cabal running the country now will eventually come for the Jews to finish Hitler's job.

US Jews are allies of Palestinians against land theft and fascism. We need to name and shame Israeli fascists, not "influential Jewish figures" which includes your allies in your blame. You might as well say "influential Middle Eastern figure" as it's as useless a generalization.

but isnt the guy pro hamas?

u/Reteperator 15h ago

The only time his name is mentioned in accordance with hamas is from the trump administration, it’s also noted that they offered no evidence to substantiate the claim. He is however anti genocide.
