The ACLU is suing them for it, and good. Students shouldn't be banned from protesting for human rights, but it's Florida so what did you expect.

Sometimes they're pretty annoying.

It FLorida, I wouldn't be surprise if they were banned for actually going to school.

An interesting element of this whole conflict is the massive generation gap regarding sympathy for Palestine vs. Israel. It was almost a complete non-issue before the modern generation but large chunks of people really have a negative view of Israel's government that didn't exist for people my parents age.

Mossad getting more and more mentions in spy fiction as basically the Jewish MI6 (NCIS and Archer come to mind)?

This sounds illegal. But I am not that familiar with the intricacies of this sort of thing.

Mi6 is rather vanilla in comparison to more concerning institutions.

How commonplace the conflict is I. The minds of people has been a dubious measure. There’s actually no dialog on the issue in the us, save for each side making a general public plea. They’re fighting each other over there, but here it is either a matter of policy or public protest.

Some of us are about to be 40 or already are. I wish people would stop confusing us for the Gen Z people. They are the tide pod eating idiots.
