    it’s not enough to blacklist and strangle the job prospects of anybody who participates, they have to go all Kent State on this shit? really seems like an overreaction incommensurate with the actual threat. Israel and the USA both seem to be on the back foot and reacting wildly

      I think their plan is to help Israel quickly finish their genocide by taking the rest of Palestine and they just need to shut people up for a bit to do it. Then they’ll make up a bunch of stuff about how it was “maybe not totally cool in hindsight” and handwave it away like the genocide of indigenous people.
