    Dude this makes me just hate Israel more. I don’t know who’s giving them PR advice but EVERYTHING about Israel just makes them look more and more like monsters.

    I used to just brainlessly accept Israel = Democracy = Good

    The propaganda worked.

    But ever since this while AIPAC shit surfaced I finally saw just how horrific they are… Then I thought wait…maybe they are the assholes in the middle east too?

    Sure enough you look at what and who they are and it’s just pure evil monster.

    Before anyone jumps in Israel =/= Judaism

    Jews are fine.

    Israel are the baddies

      They are talking about the Southern version of “freedom”, where they are preoccupied with the “freedom” to buy and sell others and to control how others live their lives.

          Technically it was about states rights to ban slavery. The South was not at all happy about plans to “contain” slavery. They wanted full, mandatory expansion.

    If, under the “Citizens United” precedent, a corporation is free to spend money on politics because “money is speech” under the 1st Amendment’s protection on freedom of speech… then a university has the freedom of speech to not spend money as they see fit.

    Plus the general concept of freedom of association that is part of our 1st Amendment rights.

      AIPAC spends $50 to $100 million per election cycle, while also most likely directing a multiple of that in outside spending. And has been for decades.

    Making it illegal to *checks notes* stop buying things.

    I guess that’s what “freedom” means these days.

    “Socialism is bad; they will tell you what to buy. Also, government will take over businesses.”

    –Republicans, staying silent for this and for tiny-d donnie’s administration acquiring direct ownership stakes in public companies…
