One of the men goes for her phone. The other grabs at her hands. Ozturk screams. Shock and fear ripple through her voice. Two masked women join them, tugging at her backpack, peeling the straps from her shoulders. “I’m going somewhere, I need to call someone,” she pleads. “We’re the police. Relax,” one of the men says in response.

They surround her. Then, one by one, they pull their neck gaiters up to cover their faces. “You don’t look like police,” a voice off screen says. “Why are you hiding your faces?” The questions continue, but the figures don’t respond. Instead, they cuff Ozturk, cross the street, and put her in an unmarked SUV. She is gone.

What part of that aren’t you following?

The part where she isn't a hamas supporter, and was abducted by the secret police for writing an op-ed on how Tufts should divest money from Israel.

I regret to say that you are sorely misinformed. Although what you said is also true, the allegations are, in fact, that she's a Hamas supporter.

There are other supporting facts that she's absolutely a Hamas supporter, including the one you brought up. If she's in support of divesting money from Israel, that's obviously anti-Israel. Who is anti-Israel? Muslims. What are Hamas people? Muslim. She's also obviously Muslim. All signs point in the same direction. How dense do you have to be to not see this?

I implore you to stop parroting what your ignorant leftist peers are saying and do some quick research. You even have AI chatbots to verify my claims at your disposal for crying out loud.

You don't have to be Muslim to be anti Israel.

[-] smoresrock@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah, apparently you don't; You could also be an ignorant, modern Democrat supporting "Palestine" merely because the others in your echo chamber are.

Of Israel: "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Genesis 12:3

It's amazing how tiny that land is, yet it has withstood millennia of onslaught. Israel is not going down, and efforts to do so are and forever will be futile. I hope this helps at least one person see the truth.

Yikes, the hasbara is really moldy these days, that doesn't even make sense.

Read it slower, baba. It'll start to make sense.
