Yes, I'm certain you're an expert on higher education and freedom of thought, belief, and speech.

Gaza is an open prison maintained by Israel.

@Tocinos You are not smearing a "Boomer". You are responding to a relatively young individual who is ignorant of the nature of education in a democracy and knows nothing about higher education.

But not the Palestinian victims of Israel's collective punishment?

@annabellelee4535 University degrees prepare one for jobs if one gets a degree specific to a career. Those who say otherwise are repeating the Republican propaganda by which they've been attacking education -- which is an advantage -- since Regan. But university education that prepares one for a profession means constantly keeping up to date in the profession. I do get tired of people who've never been to university actually believing they are experts on the topic -- but they are always obvious: they present EXCUSES for NOT attending university.

@tomhenry897 Another who has never attended university, so is totally ignorant about higher education, and all of that based on a rejection of education since he was taught by his parents to reject education.

Netanyahu has declared a policy of COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT against Gaza, which began by cutting off all food, water, and electricity to Gaza, all of which must pass through Israel. Because Hitler used collective punishment against the Jews during WW II it was declared a WAR CRIME.

@synewparadigm You've never seen bogus anti-Palestinian propaganda that you didn't like.

@ranonampangom2185 It is 2023. There are AMERICAN CITIZENS in Gaza who are NOT BEING ALLOWED OUT -- that's how PRISONS work -- by either Israel or -- by arrangement with Israel -- Egypt. Are those American citizens "terrorists"? -- or are you simply too stupid to see the reality: ISRAEL is PREVENTING them getting out. And that has been Israel's policy since its founding clearing the land of non-Jews in order to land-grab.

It's a war crime to attack civilians. Israel does that as a routine. Right-wing extremist Netanyahu has never been about RESTRAINT. And you need to pay attention when there aren't these flareups -- Netanyahu and his wife are both under criminal investigation for corruption, and recently tried to force a change on the courts that would prevent that investigation. That resulted in the largest Israeli protests against him in Israeli history. When he gets desperate he creates distractions. Security experts are calling this a massive failure in Israeli intelligence. Is that failure an accident?

This isn't about "across the world". This is about Israel's actions vis-a-vis the Palestinians.

Why does your "God" not intervene and put a stop to the insanity?

@diggy58 Don't tell me what I "must" respect, FASCIST DICTATOR. It can't be proven there's a "God". Those who fall all over themselves insisting that the SPECULATIVE existence of "God" is instead a FACT are full of shit. I don't respect brainwashing in place of actual critical thought.

@diggy58 "Nothing harmful"? Show me a war and I'll show you a murderous "argument" based on "religion" -- which, while going about committing murders, preaches "peace".

@annabellelee4535 Again, you are repeating the Republican attack on education because their plan is to have a population that is stupid and controlled by them. Trump said he "loves the uneducated". And the uneducated fell for it, and obeyed his instructions, and he lead them by the nose into JAIL. While he played golf. You know nothing about education, which is why you ATTACK it.

@williamogilvie6909 I'm 75. I've attended universities. You sound the same as the old farts who supported Nixon-Agnew, and the fraudulent US intervention in Vietnam. What I do know is the history. Netanyahu has cut off all food, water, and energy to Gaza -- which is an open prison maintained by Israel. That is a declaration of COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT -- which is a WAR CRIME.

@tictoc5443 Are you qualified to "vet" anyone? Are all those who know more than you in the wrong? you know nothing about university environment or purpose. It is where one looks at ALL sides of an issue, not only the side endorsed by this or that gov't or propagandist. Gaza is an open prison -- its residents do not have the option of leaving. And it is maintained as that by Israel. Claiming to be a victim while bullying others has become a popular ruse.

@tictoc5443 We aren't talking about "around the world". We're talking about the HISTORY you don't understand. Against PROMISE Israel, from the moment it was established, has been an expansionist colonial power. They've been about clearing the land of non-Jewish Semites -- Palestinians -- and grabbing the land for Israel -- a former Israeli ambassador described Israel as a democratic JEWISH state, a THEOCRACY. A theocratic TYRANNY. That's what all the ILLEGAL settlements OUTSIDE Israel's borders, and annexing that land, is about. It's all about the vision of "Greater Israel" using the "Bible" as their "deed". Israel's president Herzog expressly said that ALL Palestinians -- this is a LIE -- are Hamas. And Netanyahu has declared -- yet again -- that the official Israeli policy is COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT, which means punishing ALL Palestinians without regard for who is innocent and who is not; ALL are viewed as guilty. COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT was declared a WAR CRIME because it was used by the WW II German Nazis AGAINST JEWS. How is it that ISRAEL is exempt from the rules?

@tictoc5443 If you want to do that you have to stop excluding the HISTORY of ISRAEL'S behaviors over the 75 years of its existence. Claiming to be a victim is a popular ruse, a popular cover, for BULLIES. Look at Trump for an example of that scam. And listen to the UN: Israel has ORDERED the Palestinians -- 1.1 MILLION -- in northern Gaza to move to south Gaza -- which is IMPOSSIBLE: the south is ALSO crammed with people. At the same time, Israel has been concentrating its attacks on SOUTHERN Gaza. So how are the Gazans going to be SAFE by moving to SOUTHERN Gaza? LISTEN to what Netanyahu is saying -- and compare that with INTERNATIONAL LAW, which PROHIBITS Israel doing what he says Israel is doing and going to do. None of that is new about Israel. Neither is the constant Israeli claim that Israel is the ONLY "victim".
1
@tictoc5443 You have to see through the propaganda: there are standards in INTERNATIONAL LAW against which to compare and contrast Israel's declared policies. Hitler called Jews, among other things, "animals". Netanyahu calls the Palestinians -- without distinguishing between Hamas and all the Palestinians who AREN'T Hamas -- "animals". Where is the difference between the two? Over the next several weeks things are going to get worse; and Israel is going to get away with it less and less. There are already hints in Biden's public statements that ware warnings to Israel: to STOP the constant dehumanizing of Palestinians in service to the overriding goal: clearing the land outside Israel's borders and annexing that land as part of "Greater Israel". Israel is opposed to the two state solution BECAUSE that would stop the land-grabbing.

@tictoc5443 There are many different tribes in the Middle east. Palestinians is one of the most maligned and scapegoated by all the others. And in the lead on doing that is Israel. They are able to get away with it in part because the others also look down on the Palestinians. But just because they are scapegoated and maligned does not mean that the attacks on them are truthful or justified.
