I've noticed a change in the media's reporting of student protests regarding Gaza.

Up until about the past 24-48 hours, the legacy media carefully stated that university students targeted for deportation had participated in pro-Hamas demonstrations.

Now they are saying students targeted by ICE and our very own Hitler are participating in pro-Palestinian demonstrations. That is VERY different and it’s chilling.

I guess we can no longer support innocent Palestinians murdered by the Israeli Defense Force. And we can’t support innocent Palestinian children who are hungry because the Israelis won’t allow for humanitarian aid.

I never supported October 7. I always believed Israel should have the right to exist. But each day my support for Israel drops. It’s becoming its own terrorist state. With the media reporting that the government is targeting “pro-Palestinian” protesters I really have no support for Israel whatsoever any longer because it means Americans or foreigners here legally, have no right to free speech.

Their message has always been "never again" but Israel remained silent when thousands of Muslims were slaughtered in Central Europe. After that, they lost me.
