According to CNN, this is what the Harvard student groups did say:

That is bad enough, even though they did not mention Hamas.   Indeed the students/groups who signed off on this letter are now walking it back according to the headlines.   I have not yet read the articles.   Like Richard, I am appalled that the young liberals in our colleges appear to have turned against Israel completely.  Not all of them of course, but many politically active ones have.   The siding against Israel by this element of the left has bothered me for a long time, and it really is exposed in these circumstances.  

Richard's characterization of the BLM response appears to be accurate, once you wade through the typical Richard outrage.   https://www.newsweek.com/black-lives-matter-praises-hamas-sparks-backlash-1833630#:~:text=In%20a%20statement%20posted%20on,must%20stand%20unwaveringly%20on%20the

So in this instance I pretty much agree with Richard with respect to BLM and the Harvard Students.   I bet most of us do.   Sometimes I think it is a shame Richard destroys his message with over the top-outrage rhetoric, and ridiculously over-broad indictments of entire classes (Democrats for example) based upon the actions of a few.   I hate it when the Ds do this guilt by association thing to Republicans as well.   Jim

So explain why it is outrageous that I point out facts about the left?  Please do tell.  

Tell me what you think about Tlaib, as one reporter followed her in the Halls of the Congress asking her over and over what was her response and her thoughts about Hamas, the gov't of the Palestinians, elected by the Palestinians, having sent over their terrorists to CUT OFF The heads of 40 babies in one town alone.  

She just SMUGLY Ignored the reporter as the question was asked over and over to her, and she didn't even have the f'in Decency to even dare to answer, but just turned around and glared at the reporter.

However the day after the vile attack on Civilians, the Democrat Congresswoman made sure to post images of herself adoring the Palestinian Flag right outside of her office.

That "squad" there, they sure are a great bunch of stand up Americans don't you think?  

And Nancy Pelosi couldn't even bring herself to publicly denounce Ilhan Omar as that vile cretin gave out her anti-semitic remarks to the world.  

What a disgrace the left is, just overall.  

Now is it outrageous to You that I'm simply speaking the truth about Rashida Tlaib, Democrat Congresswoman?  

So now, just bringing up facts of the actions OF the left and their politicians is somehow looked upon by You and other lefties as "Outrage"??  Or are Tlaib and others vile anti-semites. 

Are You personally able to publicly acknowledge the Democrat low-lifes in the party?

My wife, myself and another couple rented a house SE of Santa Fe. It was a great location outside the city with decent skies at night. Eclipse day was clear with light winds. We had my ES 127 and PST.  I believe the best views for us were through the PST because of all of the prominences visible along the edge of the sun. As totality (annularity) approached several of  prominences were visible along the dark edge of the moon! That was a sight I will never forget, the beautiful red prominences against the jet black edge of the moon. There was a very noticeable drop in the temperature which I don't remember experiencing in previous eclipses. Here's my best shot taken through the PST with a hand-held cell phone.

Davis:  You stated:  "a review of my posts would reveal my position"

So are you implying that one needs to reread your posts in order to get an understanding of your position?

If so, I'd have to say Nah, I'm not into self-cruelty. Vomiting once after reading so many of your postings is enough for me.
