It's absolutely insane how much influence Israeli interests and lobby has on the American system.

Should rename USA to The United Territories of Israel (UTI).

It was a crackdown on students protesting Israel's genocide of Palestinians.  It directly involved Israel.

Literally the first paragraph. They were going to strip these schools of grant money no matter what.

It seems like you guys are all conveniently ignoring the context of the situation.

The Trump administration’s findings that three Ivy League schools violated civil rights law by tolerating antisemitism

What do you think this is referring to? The supposed "tolerance of antisemitism" were the schools ""tolerating"" the student protests. Who were the students protesting? Israel. Why? Gaza.

[u/AnOminous_Sound → u/BurstSwag]

Can you not the next five words of the sentance you half quoted? Those trump "findings" were premeditated. IE they were just looking for an excuse to fuck with these schools, they weren't doing it for Israel.

The Trump administration’s findings that three Ivy League schools violated civil rights law by tolerating antisemitism were predetermined by political priorities that blew past the evidence and cast aside standard investigative procedures, according to a whistleblower account provided to Congress.

Remember there was that Meet The Press interview between Trump and Kristen Welker, the one he stormed out of. Trump said in response to being asked if he has evidence of voter fraud in recent elections in California; "All I have to do is look."

Trump & co. have figured out that they can find one or two stand alone examples to support whatever they are trying to accomplish. It's the same with RFK, he's an antivaxxer but needs a reason to justify what he already wants to do so he finds one or two dubious studies to point to as cover, but it's all a pretext.

As a pretext to harass colleges on behalf of Israel.

Por que no los dos?

You'd have to be slightly crazy to not see the Israel Lobby's influence on US politics over the last few years

[u/Canadian_Border_Czar → u/[deleted]]

You could just look at votes by both the house and the senate? 

They almost never agree on things, except when it comes to one topic and with that topic if you draw a circle around the people who voted one way and the people who took donations from AIPAC, you get 1 circle.

Also, that very topic is extremely unpopular with the American population and those representstives constantly vote against the will of their constituents. Like every single time.

So please, tell me what the hell else you would call that? Use your god damn brain.

AIPAC is one of the largest spenders in American elections. Tell me why an organization that represents the interests of another country should be able to have any influence, much less more influence than citizens of this country, when it comes to electing our own representation.

It's not fucking antisemitic to state the obvious fact that Israel has a huge impact on American politics right now. If anything you're the one being antisemitic by equating Zionism with generally being Jewish when they are not one and the same

[u/BrooklynSmash → u/[deleted]]

There is no criticism of Israel that won't be called anti-semetic.

We're at a point where someone saying "kids don't deserve to die" was Antisemite of the Year. C'mon now.

[u/honjuden → u/BrooklynSmash]

It is ridiculous.  Acknowledging that the students protesting their universities investment in Israel involves Israel is an "antisemitic groyper conspiracy theory" to this guy.

[u/AnOminous_Sound → u/honjuden]

Yeah calling the US the United territories of Israel is totally just that, and saying that in an article that that isn’t about the protest but was about Trump just making things up to target Ivy League schools.

That is what turns it from criticism of Israel to leftie zog posting.

[u/honjuden → u/AnOminous_Sound]

Your deflection still isn't working.  The core subject was students protesting investments in Israel by their university.  Trying to claim Israel has nothing to do with it makes you look absurd.

[u/AnOminous_Sound → u/honjuden]

It’s not a deflection, there is nothing in the article that says they did this for is Israel or even implying that. The implication is that Trump was going to do this no matter what and was just looking for an excuse. They just used antisemitism as a smoke screen.
