I highly doubt there are any hostages left. From Hamas's initial attack, personally raping, and butchering Men, Women, and children, I have little confidence in anything HAMAS does or says. They make ISIS (ISIL) look tame by comparison.

Strange turn of events how the right wing of the GOP and Trump are now big supporters of Putin.

I can't speak for everyone, but there are quite a few people who don't want to see innocent Palestinians or Jews from Israel needlessly losing their lives.

Reasonable people want peace, period.
Very reasonable points.

And took hundreds more hostage. Most of them have probaby been raped or killed by now.

You want peace? So does Israel.
Bingo. The neighbors of Israel started a war 10/7, just as Japan did via Pearl Harbor. We properly wiped out their ability to fight before accepting an unconditional surrender. Hamas is every bit as evil.

The vast majority of US Students don't want anything to do with this nonsense, and it's just the usual suspects causing yet more problems due to the very liberal way the are dealt with by the authorities and Courts.

Yep — the party of overly-educated stupid people…..

It’s very easy to obtain the perspective from our liberal friends. They are Ideologues. they were raised in a world where everyone gets a trophy. Bullies are bad and the downtrodden/underdog is the righteous hero. Israel is the bully, Palestine is the underdog righteous hero. No need to explore deeper into the specifics, it’s a right vs wrong matter. Something to be angry about and shake your fists. At the end of the day, enjoy all the comforts and privileges associated with living in a 1st world imperialist nation, and feel good that you “stood up for the righteous cause”

that’s liberals in a nutshell.

I think the Jews have been the underdog throughout history and were persecuted from the Romans right through to the Nazi's and Communist regimes.

The global Jewish population is 15.7 million, which is approximately 0.2% of the 8 billion worldwide population. Israel hosts the largest core Jewish population in the world with 7.2 million, followed by the United States with 6.3 million.

So outside of Israel and the US there are very few Jewish people in the world.

Contrast that with the Muslims are the majority in 49 countries, and who make up 24.1% of the world's population, with an estimated total of approximately 1.9 billion.

In reality it's the Jews that are the underdogs, and the Muslims are not even prepared to let the Jews have a tiny piece of land, which is about the size of the state of New Jersey.

The Centre of the Islamic faith and the Holiest Islamic city is also not in Israel it's at Mecca the capital of Mecca Province in the Hejaz region of western Saudi Arabia.

The fact that the Muslims can't stand the Jews having a piece of land the size of New Jersey and the fact that they constantly chant about them being eradicated and removed from the river to the sea speaks volumes as to who the real bullies are.

Another Strawman argument. What flies out the window with this are the thousands of innocent civilians (women and children) killed in Palestine due to this war. They didn't choose where they were born or live and have nothing to do with violent attacks against Israel. Of course, no one with a conscious wants innocent civilians from Israel or Palestine or any other country being killed.

Would agree except that among those students are university professors who should have been immediately fired and banned from campus.
