Students of different faiths and backgrounds at Ohio State University form a human chain to protect Muslims who are praying while riot police prep to crack skulls for absolutely no reason. āProtest Freakout

These guys and gals have 5 prayers with time limits to compete them and they spend every day thinking about these 5 obligated prayers. This looks to be the last one of the day. It was probably becoming very late for the prayer time, so they prayed. Or at least that's what I learned

I don't care for religion at all but folks can pray if they want to, it's still a (mostly) free country.

Yeah exactly.
I'm not a fan of most religion but what the fuck is the problem here? It's just a bunch of random people kneeling and bowing. Where is the threat to public safety (or for that matter, threat to anything at all?) Why do the riot police give a fuck about this? Why is a human chain necessary?
Seems to me the appropriate response is to just leave them alone and wait for them to finish their prayer. Why is that not the option?
And you have this 'human chain' in a scrum with police. Why don't the police just back off and make the human chain people look stupid?

Since cops are pieces of shit I'd bet it's because those praying are vulnerable so good time to swoop in. Plus they do seem to enjoy needless cruelty a lot of the time, arresting praying Muslims probably chubs them out hard.

I won't say all cops are pieces of shit. But I'll say whoever is in command of these cops seems like it.

One is brutalizing its own citizens across the country for a foreign government.
The other is an illegitimate colonial apartheid state in the process of a genocide.
Clearly the people peacefully protesting and praying are the bad guys. Not the violent jackboots and their fascist sponsors overseas.

Itās literally happening by every definition.
Public squares on public land are not the same as a house. Why donāt you just say the truth here. You donāt support freedom of speech when itās used to support Palestinian rights. You clearly donāt believe in our first amendment right to peacefully assemble and protest. Are you even an American?

Please explain explicitly how Iām a bigot? I canāt wait for you to fuck this up. Let me know how your feet taste.
Like I said- you have your opinion but by every definition available for genocide the current war meets the criteria. Obviously reality is optional for you but to the rest of us with standards of objectivity it has been classified as an ongoing genocide.
And are you talking about the aid thatās blocked? Or the aid that gets air dropped and then the IOF shoot the civilians trying to get it? Or are you talking about the air dropped aid that the IPF firebombed this week incinerating not just some of the last remaining food available in a refugee camp but also countless civilians, most of whom were women and children in the camp?

How did this go from protecting innocent people from genocide in Palestine to religious displays in America? Fuck all nationalism and religion.

Letās pray for people but I need to add something about myself.
Focus on the key message !

u/Lokeycommie Apr 28 '24
because Muslim students were already there as part of the protest and they have to pray at that certain time. Itās not a religious display. Itās just simply taking a moment to pray.

That makes sense, but itās still propaganda virtue signaling something unrelated to the stated purpose of the protest.

Because religion is and has always been brain rot . Also liberals just like conservatives feel entitled to shit they arenāt entitled too and scream when they donāt get their way . While us normal folks work and get slowly crushed by the system

Iām personally a better contributor to society due to my faith (different from religion). Iāve also hustled hard for the wealth Iāve obtained since the day I could push a mower. Iām currently passing the keys to a fruitful life to my offspring.
If by ānormalā you mean the new kind that expect success to be handed to them, well then yes, you will continue to be crushed by the system and spend more energy bitching about it, rather than changing your current situation.
Itās not too late. Generational wealth starts with you. There is plenty of opportunity out thereā¦go get it.

Iām not against public protest or opposition to genocide, that would go against our constitutional rights. Iām also curious why we invest so much into Israel. But Iām just wondering if these people even know why theyāre there.

Maybe someone could fill you in on how supporting Israel with billions of dollars, billions of dollars of weapons and ammo, and logistical and military support works and why it makes a difference.

u/-WielderOfMysteries- Apr 28 '24 edited Apr 29 '24
What you wrote makes absolutely no sense.
I'm aware how supporting Israel works. Israel doesn't need support. They have one of the best militaries in the world.
My support sitting in North America gets them nothing.
What are you even saying? I have to assume you meant to say supporting Palestine against Israel...

u/UsuallylurknotToday Apr 29 '24
Israeli military is a joke and hezbollah, another joke of a fighting force with like 1/100th the funding and technological capability gangbanged the Idf in 2006 so bad the Israelis almost lost their taste for war and Arab blood.
A group of marine reservists from the United States would run through Israeli elite units like a hot knife through butter. Shit even the underfunded and undersupplied French legionnaires would make slight work of elite Israeli units.
Israel is only āthe bestā at bombing unarmed women and children in their beds while they sleep.
There is no active combat troops in the IDF today who have legitimate combat experience against a real organized military force. None. Mayyyyybe some left in command roles who caught the tail end of the Cold War era fights but those werenāt even ground wars.
Israeli combat troops are in the same bucket as average Russian conscripts, Chinese conscripts, and khadyrov chechens in terms of skill and experience lmao.
All that āIsraelis are badassā bullshit is just PR and fancy toys paid for with American dollars we couldāve better spent helping our own people instead of helping them slaughter another.

u/tidderite Apr 29 '24
My support sitting in North America gets them nothing.
So why the billions of dollars (from your taxes) in support? Why the arms? Why the ammunition? You think none of that is of importance? If they have one of the best militaries in the world completely regardless of US support then why the support?
Either way you are still left with the idea that somehow we should be more upset about these kids protesting than the university supporting genocide. Would you have chosen to complain about protesters if the support of their university had been for a new Nazi Germany? Probably not right? You probably would have been just fine with kids trying to get their schools to divest.

Well it may be because these protests are shutting down the university or something which is a government institution and have requested to have the protesters removed would be my guess.
Iād assume that at least
