Across the United States, “heads are rolling” at the top of some Ivy League universities amid a campus-wide crackdown on students protesting Israel’s war in Gaza, shining a spotlight on the question of freedom of expression worldwide, said UN Special Rapporteur Irene Khan.

    Genuine question. The sign in the thumbnail says, “We want Palestine to be liberated.” What does that mean?

    Is it advocating for the dissolution of the state of Israel? Like, “liberated” implies the removal of an occupier, no?

    It can’t just mean “stop the murders,” right? Like, if that’s the case it was say to liberate the “Palestinians,” not “Palestine” right?

    I just ask because I feel like the messaging on this is a bit all over the place at times, and calls for the abolishment of the state of Israel seem a bit extreme to me, and I’m trying to figure out if that’s the actual stance people are taking.

      This is the thing, the far-right Israeli government (run by Nethanyahu) vs far-right Hamas are fighting each other. Innocent people die and that brings younger people who are siding for Palestine without understanding how complex the whole conflict is. There are no good sides here, both are extremists.
