    If you’re arresting 80 year olds in their home for protesting you are NOT the good guys.

      She was arrested at the scene. She was then held for 27 hours, and during that time police searched her home.

      I think she was the one holding a sign that read something like “Protect Palestine. Action is needed now” Palestine and Action were on separate lines, and she argued with police that there was a full stop between the words.

        Imagine being treated like that by your own regime on behalf of the genocide regime

        This isn’t about Jews, it’s about the military industrial complex.

          I am sure the Israeli lobby is there just for emotional support

                They could be anything else. That would not change situation.

                  That’s cool, but that’s who is doing this crime

                    You were talking about Jews. Jews are not, in general, committing a crime.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
