Fifty years ago, I joined in protests against the Vietnam war. Today the mainstream media is smearing pro-Palestine student protests in ways that are even worse than how we were slandered back then.

@mondoweiss @palestine @israel One of the worst characterizations I’ve seen labeled the protests as “pro-Hamas.”

It makes it easy to vilify protestors if I incorrectly conflate supporting Palestinians with supporting Hamas.

@robertsmelser @mondoweiss @palestine @israel it sure does seem inherently racist to refer to all Palestinians as terrorists too. Group dehumanization tactics lead to willingness to kill everybody in the group, which is an attitude I've seen people on liberal Mastodon push repeatedly without any repercussion.
