The protests keep growing and the hand of the response to the protests grows heavier. Protests on campus have inspired the authorities to arrest the protesters and then required remote learning just to keep people separated. Congress is considering a law to revoke the non-profit status of any organization that supports Palestine. Congress can’t manage TikTok so they passed a law to ban it or force the sale of it, and it’s not likely to hold up in court.

Israel labels anyone who supports Palestinians as terrorists. What was the definition of terrorism again?

How about the dictionary?

Oxford English Dictionary

Notice how Oxford tries to qualify “unofficial” violence as terrorism. I guess that means 75 years of violence against Palestinians by the Israeli government is technically, not terrorism. On the other hand, I’ve seen several articles over the last 6 months that made the following observation:

“Israel’s attack on Gaza is punishment for the people of Gaza having voted for Hamas to govern the region.”
