    Alleged video of the incident appeared to show students running through and jumping in hallways.

    that’s a very tame riot…

      Riot is used twice in the article. Once in a quote and the other time it’s called an “alleged riot” ostensibly referring back to the quote

        “Storm” is in the title. They make it seem like a violent mob when 90% of it was little more than a school walkout.

        Naw. Most of these kids are just kids using an excuse to skip class and dance in the hall.

          I didn’t see any mention of dancing in the article. Where did you see that?

            It didn’t. It had a link to a video where they were kinda sorta dancing.

              Gotcha. That’s why I missed it I typically don’t watch the videos.

        So the teacher was supporting against Zionism and occupation? That middle picture confused me. Did that student just get confused, too, and mi’s-typed?

        I mean, that video was obviously cut to make it look as bad as possible, and the worst they got is some vandalism and stuff that looks similar to “my team just won the superbowl” kind of dancing. Even by american standards, that is a very tame riot.

    I genuinely wonder how much of it was “rioting” because of the thing and how much was this being a good excuse to skip out on lessons, cause I’ve been a shithead teenager before and know they aren’t exactly the most socially conscious.

    So were they rain or something cool like hail?
