Is this not just a book written by a journalist/historian about how Hamas came about? Not everything about a topic is propaganda.

The book having two reasonably attractive young people on the cover isn't by design at all I'm sure.

Pronghorn is not here to inform the board about current events involving protests or protesters. In fact, he's admitted as much that his primary reason for posting in this thread is to spread propaganda.

The first edition of this book came out over 10 years ago, and it's only "news" because this is an update that includes the Hamas attack last fall.

So, not only is it NOT pro-Hamas; it has nothing to do with any protests. He's just a shitposting troll intentionally spreading misinformation.

Of course it's current.  It's in a high school library and a lot of people are wondering where the kids at these colleges get their inspiration.  

 

 

Care to quote where I said this?

I’’d have tweeted simply that some masked idiot came by my door at 4 am and this is not okay. On what fucking planet do you live where it is acceptable that a student (I guess) that is misguided as fuck comes to a regent’s home?  Fucking looney tunes man

Never said it was acceptable but that dude did act like a bitch.

Finds note on door asking for stupid shit, checks Ring camera and sees note leaver taking a picture to certify delivery and cries home invasion on social media.

Personally, I grew up and live a sheltered life but if you find this scary you are a class A pussy.

Everyone defending dumbasses on both sides of this are pushing a motive against the other side….   There’s no justification for either’s dumbass behavior.  And yes a few of y’all have done it for either side.    Who would have thought 20 years ago this country was working way more together vs today.  Everyone thought it was bad then, they had no clue what was coming.  I’m sorry is that considered political?  This whole thread is….

the Words Are Mean posse characterizing the universities’ coddling of them as “Violent Rhetoric”.

is it any surprise the people with this type of perspective would reflexively consider everything a transgression and call everyone a nazi or fascist.

these people were simply not bullied as much as they should have been.

Thirty people come to chant and yell at another regent’s house at 0545, set up tents, leave behind body bags.

”No different than the guy who leaves a Chinese menu or offers to clean my gutters.” 
 

Quote

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Students running the encampment on the Diag at the University of Michigan took credit for showing up in the early morning hours at the homes of two university regents.

In a video posted to X/Twitter, the students are seen in a group of about 30 chanting and yelling around 5:45 a.m. on Wednesday (May 15) and putting tents on her lawn, red spray-painted sheets, and stuffed animals.

Regents are fair game now, of course. They manage investments and so none of them get to live at home quietly.

Again, I understand being creeped out by it. In a way, what makes it seem worse is that the masked petitioner was caught on his Ring camera. That just makes it look bad and more nefarious.

But, like I said, people have left shit about Chinese restaurants, offers to buy my house, lawn care services, and all kinds of shit at my front door. And, yes, sometimes I'll find that kind of stuff when I leave for work in the morning, so they leave the solicitations in the evenings or overnight.

All of that said, it's a stupid and futile gesture, just like all the solicitors who leave their propaganda behind because I make a point of NOT doing business with people who leave shit on my front door.

Such a garbage take and you know it. There is a world of difference between someone with a job leaving behind a flyer, on each house of the block and an angry person in a mask showing up specifically to an individual’s house to target them over politics. It’s harassment and intimidation tactics and making a “we know where you live” point.

”Her boyfriend calls her late at night and says he loves her and that they’ll always be together.  She loves it when he drops by her work for a kiss or to drop off a latte.  But when I call her at midnight from an unknown number and tell her I love her or show up unannounced and ask to see her at work, all of a sudden the police give me a restraining order. But it’s the SAME THING, she’s being overly dramatic.”  
 

You’ve just decided you sympathize with these people and nothing can ever be more than “misguided” on their part.

I’d ask him to stay and call the police and have him arrested for trespassing and disturbing the peace and then get him kicked out of school. I’m sure there is something in the code of conduct about harassing and threatening teachers and administrators.

[BabaYaga 15300]

It wasn't (nor was the regent claiming) a home invasion.  It wasn't really trespassing either.  It was a thinly veiled threat as stated that we know where you live.  This is the scene in the movie when the mobsters come into the store and tell the owner "nice place, be a shame if something happened to it"

There was a gaming shop that sold drugs and alcohol to the homeless that attracted them to my area of business. So every morning I would have to clean up after them and hope they didn’t try to break in and either call police or EMS to remove the unresponsive ones. I can tell you that it is trespassing as I was asked to make a report each time. The first time they can get off. The second time not so much. That requires the city to drop the charges.

If the university says “youre not allowed to camp on the campus lawn” its violent rhetoric”. If you trample on the lawn of the facultys private residence at 4am its just an expression of justice.

This isn’t a both sides deal. This is nutjob losers on one side doing inappropriate shit and sometimes illegal shit. They are ugly nerds that should be ridiculed, kicked out of school when warranted, and never find gainful employment by any respectable outfit.

My brother was purchasing a company and a shareholder took a picture of his house and family and emailed it to him.

A friend’s dad was an oil executive living in London. The whole family was taught how to detect a bomb attached to the mailbox. Apparently it was a thing in the UK. They were never attacked but the entire time they were there they had to remain vigilant.

A fraternity brother’s dad was an executive of Coke in Mexico. He was kidnapped by the cartel and found cut up into pieces in the trunk of his car.

Which of these events would y’all consider a threat? Which would you laugh off and which would you take seriously?

I can tell you if my wife saw Ring video from our front doorstep of some masked person dropping off a note in the wee hours of the morning, she'd freak the fuck out and wouldn't feel at all safe for quite some time.

It doesn't matter one bit what some internet message board dorks think about the level of severity of that threat, it only matters what the people inside that house feel about it.

Like I said last night, actually seeing him on camera makes it worse. But essentially, he wasn't doing anything wrong by dropping off his weighty tome. This would be a non-story without the Ring snapshot.

Now, protesting loudly at that hour, waking up the whole family and all the neighbors, vandalism, and/or violent threats would all indeed be bullshit.

Twenty years ago, our country was invading a country based on a lie, conducting torture on prisoners, labeling war dissenters anti-American, and calling French fries "freedom fries."

Today, kids are unhappy about a foreign war, protesting our material support for one of the belligerent parties, and asking that the other be allowed the inalienable right of self-determination.

In that respect (Middle East bullshit), 20 years ago was far more self-destructive to our nation. Granted, the domestic shit we're facing right now is a different story as are the threats in Eastern Europe and East Asia.

It's pretty fucking embarrassing that the Cloak Room regulars are trying to fucking justify or play down this type of idiocy.  It's beyond unacceptable.   I'm sure they would have the exact same "no big deal" opinion if it were MAGA idiots showing up harassing D appointed judges or similar.
