you chastised me for you using pre-oct 7 numbers for israeli deaths in comparing them to palestinian deaths over the years, noting the latter was 20x.

i told you to wait and see; that israeli's response would dward the 1k or so killed by palestinians. it turns out to be closer to 30x. and nothing from you.

Israel was justified in responding to a completely unwarranted and egregious terrorist attack. It has long moved past any justification in the size and scope of its response.

How “current” is this snapshot? The impetus for the war was a Hamas attack.

Many innocents there were slaughtered in the name of Islam.

If you need more recent than October, there was the concert hall terrorist attack in March by ISIS in Russia that killed 145 civilians.

read up about it. seriously. consider the conditions that israel subjected these people to and ask when the war started.

that said, i'm not disputing you about violence in the name of islam. it's just so many people like to elide over the 30,000 people killed in the name of judaism (they say it's an existential threat to their religion) and the disproportionate numbers they have killed overe the years.

there are no heroes here.

but make no mistake--the current protests are about the slaughter of gazan innocents. and i'll grant you the slaughter of isreali innocents is equally reprehensible in nature. but the numbers do not lie. it's 30x.

not sure how any unbiased human being can both sides this.

First he gave you all the jokes you could make about his attire and lack of professionalism.

Then he gave you all the content about how he was braindead and needed to resign after his stroke.

Then came the memes about him having various stand in body doubles to keep the seat blue.

And now he's your guy.

It's purposefully missing the point

Thus simultaneously labeling the protestors as outside agitators and naive liberal arts freshmen. It's treating an adult Canadian activist as the default spokesperson for anyone participating in a campus protest. Anything to just keep superficially belittling anyone who won't give Netanyahu a free pass in his response. Or, lamer still, providing an opportunity to punch down for someone who is simply upset by a brief irritation to the status quo at a downtown or campus hundreds of miles from them.

support of hamas is unacceptable.

recent comments from bibi's cabinet suggest a faction in his government is intent on genocide. but there is no military solution to long-term peace in the region. if isreal completes the genocide of palastinians, there will be other militant factions.

since hamas has never recognized israel's right to exist, there is no reason to expect they will agree to diplomatic solutions as long as they have funding.

i would love to see the us position be to support isreal with defensive funding, conditional on a cease fire, while also facilitating an international movement to pressure states that fund hamas to withdraw support. isolate them so that negotiation is the only path forward.

this would also require the international community to recognize palestine as a state, conditional on many factors including hamas dissolving and the state holding actual elections for their leadership.

vietnam

apartheid in south africa

iraq war

and now israel's shameful treatment of palestinians

no surprise that this is happening considering that israelis have given a blank check to the terrorist netanyahu for these past 30 years or so. under the logic of the opposition, this makes very israeli complicit.

craft tables for children and adults. live music. presentations by student org leaders. and "teach-ins" from faculty. then a rally at 4 (where the chants happen).

also, umich central student government elected two of the students who organized the protest. their platform was called "shut it down" which is basically, the student gov will not interact with the admin until they have official discussions to hear from their student orgs.

i guess in the nearly 7 months, the admin hasn't met with them officially.

5k canceled, a lot of peeved folks

Posted by Savoy <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=Savoy' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on April 26, 2024, 18:01:37, in reply to "Shits going down on the Quad"

Shortly after 4 pm, we became aware of the escalation of tensions at the demonstration at the Alma Mater statue on the campus of the University of Illinois, the location of our 5K route. We immediately called a meeting of our Race Operations Command team, to discuss options for adjusting the plans for tonight's 5K event.

Our initial plan that resulted from that meeting was rerouting the 5K course while staying in contact with our law enforcement partners.

At 5 p.m., we were informed by our law enforcement partners that all police assigned to our 5K course were reassigned to assist with the incident on campus.

At 5:30 p.m., it was determined that we would need to cancel tonight's 5K event. We will do everything possible to hold a 5K event in the near future.

Runners and volunteers impacted by this cancellation are being notified via app notifications, email, social media and text messaging.

At this time, our Saturday events are set to continue forward as planned. We anticipate reaching out to runners in tomorrow's races at 9 p.m. this evening with an update.

I doubt they did refunds for the race that actually started.

Once the gun sounds, you got your race, even if it had to be shortened. Most races have that in the fine print you agree to when you register.

I've done several triathlons where the races have been shortened due to weather or course conditions (rough water once and elevated bacteria levels in the water another time, late start and bike course shortened due to storms another time), and we didn't get any refunds.

Seems like a force majeure to me. I'd want to know some specifics about their insurance.

Yes, yes I am

Hopefully they have insurance for “protestors” but somehow I’d doubt that. Regardless, marathon training is serious. The amount of time and effort these people dedicate to running to be told, “yeah sorry some students are not going to let this happen”, would imagine most won’t waste their time next year.

Problem is, there's not really a way to come up with a good contingency plan for that.

If you have weather at the start, you can delay the start, but once the gun goes off, you have thousands of runners spread out over 20+ miles. Putting up tents for shelter does no good in storms, so your only other option is to cancel the race....it's not like you can safely collect thousands of runners from various points of the course quickly when inclement weather approaches.

If it's a 5k on campus, you can probably get people into buildings quickly. A half or full marathon is so spread out that it's not as easy to find shelters, especially when miles of the race are through residential areas.

https://iop.harvard.edu/youth-poll/47th-edition-spring-2024

Support for a permanent ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war is 5-to-1 in favor; majorities of young Americans sympathize with the Israeli and the Palestinian people.
While only 38% of young Americans tell us that they are following the news about the war between Israel and Hamas very or somewhat closely, the proportion rises among registered voters (45%) and those most likely to vote in November (52%). Overall, we find that Democrats (49%) are more likely to follow this news closely compared to Republicans (32%), and those with a college degree (50%) are more likely to be following these events compared to current college students (39%) and those that never attended (32%).
When young Americans are asked whether or not they believe Israel's response so far to the October 7 attack by Hamas has been justified, a plurality indicates that they don't know (45%). About a fifth (21%) report that Israel's response was justified with 32% believing it was not justified. Across most subgroups, more young Americans say the actions of the Israeli government were unjustified than justified. Republicans see Israel's actions as justified (36% justified, 16% not justified), while Democrats (14% justified, 44% not justified) and independents (19% justified, 30% not justified) feel the opposite is true.
Young Americans support a permanent ceasefire in Gaza by a five-to-one margin (51% support, 10% oppose). No major subgroup of young voters opposes such action.

Asked whether or not they sympathize with various groups involved in the war, we found that majorities of young Americans hold sympathy for the Israeli (52% sympathize) and the Palestinian people (56% sympathize), while they have far less sympathy for their governments (29% sympathize with the Israeli government; 32% with the Palestinian government). Seventeen percent (17%) expressed sympathy toward Hamas; for those who were presented with the information in a split sample that Hamas was an Islamist militant group, sympathy dipped to 13%.

People calling him “Genocide Joe” were never voting for Joe Biden no matter what.

Thanks for a reasoned reply. That was a national activity run by adults and with a broad base of participation and an unbiased message. It wasn't privileged students at an elite college.

And at a trivial level, causing some disruption is different from closing off alternatives. Disrupting traffic, say, is not the same as closing the Golden Gate Bridge where people have no alternative, or causing classes to be canceled.

Those civil rights protests reminded me of the term "outside agitators" used by politicians against whites from the north "interfering" in the south. Perhaps some of the college protestors are "outside agitators" if they have nothing to do with the school.

like Santa Santa (UMich president is Santa Ono) you can’t hide. You’re supporting genocide.

Unproductive in my opinion. But there are no calls for aggression to Israel or support of hamas.

My opinion is the us should give as much defense aid to Israel to safeguard civilians and condition it on a ceasefire (with hostages returned) and humanitarian aid guarantee.

But that’s not a good chant.

Sure there will be innovations in tactics and logistics and they'd love any new improvements advances in engineering could offer, but by and large, the career brass was very reluctant to take steps that would have a transformative effect on society off the battlefield.

Those pushing for progressive things like the Confiscation Act, Emancipation Proclamation, and the creation of USCT (Black) units were mostly political generals.

It doesn't mean I can assume anything about WWII leadership, but I'll at least say I'm not surprised at all that field commanders would be against beginning the use of nuclear weapons.

I think the piece is a mixed bag, but it’s thoughtful and worth discussing. But what I found incredible is that everyone screencapped the first paragraph, where he says that he couldn’t ask his class to “listen” to the famous piece 4’33–which asks the audience to pay attention to background noise as music—because of the protests. Everyone on Twitter said this was the biggest self own because he was selectively defining background noise which is not the point of the piece.

But they all selectively edited out the next paragraph which said half the students were Jewish and he couldn’t in good conscience ask them to listen to some of chants.

Agree or disagree with the piece, but it’s remarkable how little nuance there is as each sides tries to plant flags.

Yeah, protestors set fires outside the Navy ROTC side of the Armory, resulting in them telling the NROTC Midshipmen to not wear their uniforms on campus for a couple weeks.

College kids protest stuff, often in unproductive ways, and middle aged folks roll their eyes at them like they're the first generation to ever do so.

Just like the Occupy morons...let them camp until they create a public health nuisance...tell them they have to clear out to clean up the general area.

When they refuse, arrest them.

Clean it and let them come back and sit in a tent all summer long. If need be they can sit in a tent during the dead of winter.

Lock down campus buildings and don't allow non-students to utilize services. Don't allow open fires and cooking. Don't allow for any conveniences that would provide comfort and they'll eventually go away.

They always do.

Of all the people to inconvenience, don't screw with people on public transport.

In 2020 I heard a lot of frustration from organizers about the marches turning into just opportunities to get a selfie in front of a graffitied statue. And folks would drop out when they steered it off Monument Avenue to do something a little more relevant to the purpose, like giving presentations in front of the courthouse or go next to the jail to make a loud enough ruckus to be hear by those inside.

Posted by Nobster <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=Nobster' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on April 24, 2024, 20:16:58, in reply to "Remarkable that there is nothing here about what's happening at Columbia U"

maybe 200 people walking around the encampment chanting phrases. 10-20 people with cameras. A few dozen police. When I walked up a young man with a bright vest (like a road construction type) waved and asked if I was police (I was wearing a blue blazer). I told him where I worked and asked what he hoped would happen.

He shared three key demands…a conversation with UM admin, honest consideration of divestment of endowments in investments that go towards war, and a moderated discussion of the current situation to facilitate a better understanding of the war and how it’s impacting students, faculty, and staff.

Nice kid. Direct and respectful. But he challenged me by asking clarifying questions at an astonishing pace. He also shared that the organization was facilitated by students from many campuses who were in leadership of a registered student org with chapters at most colleges. They zoomed a few meetings and created a consistent protest structure that is present all around the country.

I missed the speeches but observed the marching and chanting.

I posted about it because I saw a Gottlieb post mocking a young woman who wasn't sure about why she was at the NYU protest.

I'm sure there are plenty of people who attend that aren't part of the student groups that organized things. And those folks probably couldn't give a substantive comment on camera. But, there are also student and faculty present that can speak very clearly about why they are organized.

I did a quick search to see news coverage from yesterday and this was one of the first results.

The student paper has a decent summary:

University police removed the tents, and Hennepin County jail rosters show they brought in nine people on misdemeanor trespass charges.

Seems as if the school is choosing not to go forward with it from the statement in your link.

https://m.startribune.com/university-of-minnesota-police-arrest-9-after-pro-palestinian-encampment-set-up-on-campus/600361025/

Take this to acknowledge my initial post was wrong

They were actually booked and charged on misdemeanor trespass charges.

I couldn’t remember whether they were just let go or brought to the jail so I typed they were given citations. That was obviously in error and a mistake.

They are listed on the jail website as being out on $300 bond if I’m reading it correctly.

So the accurate statement is the 9 that were arrested were charged with misdemeanor criminal trespass.

so you were wrong?*

Trinity was July 16, 1945. Germany had already surrendered two months earlier.

Who was the Manhattan project competing against to get the bomb developed?

ATL said " U.S. of a double standard vis a vis Germany and Japan in terms of who got the atom bombing."

First, I have never read or heard this assertion. Perhaps ATL can provide a link to this claim.

Trinity occurred two months after Germany surrendered.

The committee formed on which cities to target with the atom bomb, as it got closer to potentially working, was formed two weeks before Germany surrendered.

Allied military leaders knew the war in Europe was over once D Day was successful. Essentially an 11 month march to Berlin.

An island invasion of Japan, a country training women and children to fight, would have resulted in hundreds of thousands of American troop deaths.

If DDay had been unsuccessful, would the US have dropped an atom bomb on Germany? Probably, but it was successful and the US marched to Berlin.

That on its face is correct. This is the story as we were taught it when we were younger. "We *had* to drop the atomic bombs on Japan. It was the only way to get them to come to the table and doing so was a utilitarian good that ultimately saved hundreds of thousands or maybe even millions of lives by forgoing and invasion of the Japanese mainland. It's the story I believed up until I learned that a movie about Oppenheimer was in development and I wanted as much information on the topic as I could get.

but there's compelling evidence that this story isn't true. at minimum, it's not entirely true. Don't take my word for it, though. Take the word of the US Generals in charge at the time.

This article has a good compilation of them:

https://www.thenation.com/article/world/why-the-us-really-bombed-hiroshima/

"The top American military leaders who fought World War II, much to the surprise of many who are not aware of the record, were quite clear that the atomic bomb was unnecessary, that Japan was on the verge of surrender, and—for many—that the destruction of large numbers of civilians was immoral. Most were also conservatives, not liberals. Adm. William Leahy, Truman’s chief of staff, wrote in his 1950 memoir I Was There that “the use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender.… In being the first to use it, we…adopted an ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages. I was not taught to make war in that fashion, and wars cannot be won by destroying women and children.”

The commanding general of the US Army Air Forces, Henry “Hap” Arnold, gave a strong indication of his views in a public statement 11 days after Hiroshima was attacked. Asked on August 17 by a New York Times reporter whether the atomic bomb caused Japan to surrender, Arnold said that “the Japanese position was hopeless even before the first atomic bomb fell, because the Japanese had lost control of their own air.”

Fleet Adm. Chester Nimitz, the commander in chief of the Pacific Fleet, stated in a public address at the Washington Monument two months after the bombings that “the atomic bomb played no decisive part, from a purely military standpoint, in the defeat of Japan.”

Adm. William “Bull” Halsey Jr., the commander of the US Third Fleet, stated publicly in 1946 that “the first atomic bomb was an unnecessary experiment…. It was a mistake to ever drop it…. [The scientists] had this toy, and they wanted to try it out, so they dropped it…”

Gen. Dwight Eisenhower stated in his memoirs that when notified by Secretary of War Henry Stimson of the decision to use atomic weapons, he “voiced to him my grave misgivings, first on the basis of my belief that Japan was already defeated and that dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary, and secondly because I thought that our country should avoid shocking world opinion by the use of a weapon whose employment was, I thought, no longer mandatory as a measure to save American lives.” He later publicly declared, “It wasn’t necessary to hit them with that awful thing.” Even the famous hawk Maj. Gen. Curtis LeMay, the head of the Twenty-First Bomber Command, went public the month after the bombing, telling the press that “the atomic bomb had nothing to do with the end of the war at all.”"

But that's just after the fact lightening of the weight on the part of these generals, right? Japan wasn't going to surrender otherwise, right? We have first-hand accounts that say otherwise. Truman kept a diary, and we have it from his time at the Potsdam conference 3 weeks before the bombs were dropped.

https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/document/28466-document-47-trumans-potsdam-diary

From July 18:

"Stalin had told P.M. (Churchill) of telegram from Jap Emperor asking for peace." Stalin also read his answer to me. It was satisfactory. Believe Japs will fold before Russia comes in. I am sure they will when Manhattan appears over their homeland."

Hirohito was trying to sue for peace. Yes, there were three hardliners in his Supreme Council that wanted to hold out until the last man (namely Soemu Toyoda, Korechika Anami, and Yoshijiru Umezu) and logjammed the council, but Hirohito can overrule them.

So why drop the bombs if Japan was going to surrender anyway? Simple. The Russians.

1. The world war was essentially over, but the cold war was about to begin. We wanted to demonstrate to them our military might.

2. The Russians were mobilizing in the East.

Of course dropping the bomb would have an effect on the coming Cold War.

The problem I have always had with the “Japan was so close to surrendering crowd” was that they didn’t surrender when informed we had a weapon like an atom bomb and then still didn’t surrender after one was dropped.

It was the only thing you mentioned. All I have to go on is what you say. I'm no mind reader.

But let's talk about this:

Previous Message

The problem I have always had with the “Japan was so close to surrendering crowd” was that they didn’t surrender when informed we had a weapon like an atom bomb and then still didn’t surrender after one was dropped.

Again, the Emperor *DID* want to surrender. All the way back during Potsdam he was reaching out via the Soviets to negotiate a surrender. We didn't want to negotiate shit, not that I can blame us after Pearl Harbor.

Even after the Potsdam Declaration, which was damn near unconditional surrender, the Emperor was still keen to agree to it. He didn't because the Soviets didn't sign the declaration, which he took to mean that they disagreed with it and were wanting to be more lenient, giving the Emperor hope that there would be more negotiation. In retrospect, this was obviously not the case. The Soviets were biding their time to ramp back up militarily and wanted to take Manchuria for themselves.

So why didn't they surrender after Hiroshima? Great question. A couple of things:

The Supreme Council met on August 7th (the day after Hiroshima) and the hardliners (Soemu Toyoda, Korechika Anami, and Yoshijiru Umezu) insisted to the emperor the Americans only had one bomb, but even if they had more, they would endure. Those three were never going to surrender no matter what. The moderates on the Supreme Council were insistent to the emperor to accept Potsdam.

The emperor knew the war was lost, but like an idiot still thought the Soviets would intercede on their behalf to get better terms. So they attempted to contact the Soviets and got no response. The next night they got their answer. At midnight on the 9th, the Soviets invaded Manchuria. They woke up the emperor and told him and they set a meeting of the council for later that morning.

Bockscar was already in the air, carrying Fat Man. Nagasaki was bombed just after 11am.

What someone wants to do matters none at all, what they actually do matters entirely.

Japan doesn't have the right to surrender on their terms after starting the war with us. Absolutely eff that.

They were bombed with an atomic bomb and still didn't immediately surrender. The idea that they would have surrendered to the same terms and that no more American lives would have been lost if we didn't drop the atomic bombs is ludicrous.

the emperor was willing to accept potsdam. he was a naive idiot and thought the soviets may help him out and get something better.

Your position is not shared by the numerous US generals I listed who were actually there and had expertise on the matter or the numerous scholars who have written extensively on the last month of the war. I'll take their word for it over your 10th grade remembering of the story.

and they rejected it, because they wanted surrender conditions that preserved the Emperor's position, and would not have resulted in war crimes trials or an occupation of Japan?

Japan was in a defeated position anyways, and I agree with your point about demonstrating the bomb to the Russians being a factor, but Japan had an offer of surrender on the table and hadn't accepted it. The terms that they wanted weren't going to be acceptable to the Allies.

1. Potsdam did not directly reference the Emperor at all.

The Japanese wanted the Emperor protected. Leahy and Stimson both lobbied to Truman on multiple occasions even ahead of Potsdam that basically, "if you let them keep the Emperor, they'll accept the terms."

To that end, the Emperor agreed in principle to Togo.

https://archive.org/details/journeytothemiss011082mbp/page/n231/mode/2up?q=acceptable

But...

2. The Soviets didn't sign the agreement. This left the Japanese open to thinking that the Soviets might be open to better terms than what Potsdam was offering, so they spent weeks trying to backchannel some other deal that was never going to come.

of their own, and that it was a "race" to who had it first (it wasn't until well after D-Day that the Allies found out that Germany wasn't close to successfully building an atomic bomb).

If the Allies dropped one on Germany and it was a dud, there was a thought that the Germans could reverse-engineer it and build one of their own through their own project. There was not that same concern that Japan could reverse-engineer it and build one of their own, but even then, the first Japanese target suggested was the Japanese fleet at sea, where a bomb would sink and be unrecoverable if it didn't work.

But I think it depends on where we’re talking about. Vast majority of students are at non selective publics. They work full time, are first generation college students, and dealing with mental health, addiction, and all of the other problems they face, in addition to going to school.

Simply put, protesting is a luxury that they can’t afford.

Hamas only does terrorism and war crimes.

Israel goes above and beyond to spare civilian lives at the expense of their own soldiers. The Palestine soldier to civilian death ratio is historically low compared to any modern war.

Comparing October 7th a deliberate terrorism and war crime to the IDF response is absolutely pathetic.
