As police cracked down on anti-war protests on college campuses across the US in recent weeks, among those arrested were a pair of silver-haired 65-year-old professors armed only with their cell phones.
Annelise Orleck was knocked to the ground and restrained with plastic handcuffs at a protest at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. She later complained of whiplash.
Steve Tamari was tackled by officers and taken into custody at a demonstration at Washington University in St. Louis, an attack he said resulted in multiple broken ribs and a broken hand.
Orleck and Tamari are among at least 50 professors arrested at campus protests across the country, according to a CNN review of police records, court filings, and news reports. (Since April 18, more than 2,400 students have been arrested amid protests on more than 50 campuses.) In some cases, professors said they were actively participating in protests based on their own beliefs. Others said they attended to show support for their students.
This is misinformation and is being used to purposefully deceive people.
This narrative purposefully conflates being against the genocide of innocent Palestinians with supporting Hamas.
That’s not misinformation. It’s widely distributed on the internet. It’s easily available.
You can’t gaslight people when there’s dozens of video clips out there proving reality.
Oh, so you acknowledge that Israel is committing genocide then?
The Palestinian population will be greater than 2025 than it was in 2023. Their culture is alive and strong within Israel itself with 2 million Arabs living pretty darn well.
It’s the worst genocide man has ever seen if it is one.
That’s the same argument I used to hear from holocaust deniers, just saying
That’s an absurd statement. Jewish population still has not recovered from the Holocaust. That’s an undisputed fact.
There’s no comparison to be made by any logical or sane person on this. However, much of a tragedy we are seeing on folding Gaza. We are not seeing people packed into cattle cars and sent into gas Chambers.
Stop stop at the Holocaust abuse. Comparing these two is absolutely abusing the tragedy of the Holocaust for a political purposes.
Balls so huge they cause problems? I can empathize.
Missinformation is ‘widely distributed on the internet’ aswell
The internet is the perfect distribution vehicle for misinformation .
We’ve seen the world swallow Hamas propaganda for months as it relates to the death toll. This week. We’re seeing the UN itself, revising its numbers and reducing the number of children dead by nearly half.
This is a war of information as much as it’s a bloody one. Iran, Qatar and its proxies are working overtime to make sure that the white Western saviors among Us gobble it all up.
