re: Duke invited a Jewish speaker to graduation and Pro-Hamas graduates walked out

I think SFP wanted to make a point about the thoughtfulness of the protesters walking out (his actual secondary point) and him calling out our collective inclination to jumping to conclusions on this board (his primary point)
the contrarians love to point out the cumulative thoughts and behavior of “this board” like a hive mind
where I feel SFP has missed the mark is he is defending about 20 people, he seems to give these ~20 students credit for expressing genuine concern over the political statements of jerry seinfeld, but SFP has struggled to provide the inflammatory political statements seinfeld made to warrant protesting
then to cap it off, SFP has chosen to take the stance that we are jumping to conclusions by stating what seems to be the obvious. Now perhaps SFP is right and this story is more nuanced than it appears.
if SFP also wants to ignore the sheer narcissism and content creation addiction some people have and may be a sizable piece of this walkout we can get to nuance
Based on the statements, actions and methods protesters have used nationwide against their fellow Jewish students. I dont feel like there is any nuance at all. Being Jewish and Pro Israel is unacceptable, Jews are the oppressors and must be stopped.

I'm not defending the protesters

Why would I need to provide "inflammatory" political statements?
I've never called the protesters rational, or even smart.
But they're not protesting anything related to being Jewish and everything related to Israel.

I did not ignore that. At all.

Being Jewish and Pro Israel is unacceptable,
Being non-Jewish and pro-Israel is also unacceptable.
quote:
Jews are the oppressors and must be stopped.
Incorrect phrasing. A straw man.
Israel is the oppressor and must be stopped, is the correct phrasing.
