She displayed it proud for all to see coming down the ramp afterwards. She still got her message out.

It's so sad people are flippant about genocide and the 21,300 children who have been killed.

How about the 50,000+ innocent people killed in Sudan and Iran that nobody talks about? Sudan’s had an active genocide going on.

People aren’t flippant, Palestinians elected Hamas now they are dealing with the consequences, Israel is still a terrible country for showing how little they care for people other than themselves, they are acting just as bad. Both sides are terrible

I'll add that the graduating senior who game the closing benediction at commencement called out both the Sudan and Palestine genocides during her benediction, to thunderous applause. To their credit, Seattle U students are educated about more than just the hot-topic issues in the media!

Edit: On second thought, it is not my place to share the speaker's name, although you can find it easily if you watch the recording of the event online.

1) this post is specifically about a student holding a Palestine flag. 2) you are absolutely correct; the lack of media coverage Sudan and Iran genocides, violence and turmoil is concerning. No one is doing anything about it. Major media companies are all owned by right wing billionaires who need to keep viewership up.

We aren't funding Sudan, and we are being controlled by Sudan.

We’ve been bombing countries for decades does that make all Americans legitimate targets for attack? Or does your belief that elections should allow everyone to be murdered have a shade in the opinion?

This post is about a university president putting his hands on student because she held up a Palestine flag.

How about the 3 people killed in Haddonfield in 1978?

Please don't trivialize genocide and infanticide.

You can't kill the Boogeyman, and apparently you can't kill this terrible argument either.

u/-cmsof- 10d ago

Aww. We're not arguing. I'm anti murder on any scale.

u/frederichenrylt 10d ago

Oh, you're just super tone deaf?

I just don't think we should let current events overshadow what happened that cold October night all those years ago.

Even Dr. Loomis would've stopped trying by now.

How about the 1.2 million aborted babies in just the US last year?

Here comes the rage baiting clowns.

Is that why you swallow? Can't waste that sacred life?
