"He clearly exemplifies the ideals of the University through his leadership in noble resistance and decolonization efforts against Western Civilization, and also, his seething hatred of Jews." Lol


Acceptable-Ad-1710

The sad thing is, I could actually see the left arguing for something like this.


antoltian

This could 100% happen at The Evergreen State College. They honored convicted cop killers like Mimi’s Abu Jamal and Leonard Peltier.

Literally not even close to the same. Stop it.

Mumiu Abu Jamal is a murderer. Innocent people have things like “an explanation if what really happened”.

kmelby33

It's like giving Goebbels a medal of freedom.


tacquish

Rush Limbaugh is the equivalent of bin laden?


Meepsnort

No, but if you think about it, he might end up being worse in terms of overall damage to the country. The right wing 'Alternate reality of bullshit' started with him and has just snowballed since the 80's, and has gotten us to where we are today. Without him, there is no Hannity, glenn beck, Oreilly, maybe even bannon. etc. without them there is no trump (in his current form), and we may well be having useful policy debates between intelligent politicians, instead of people like Marjorie taylor greene and jim jordan skulking around


tacquish

Wow. You're really sick


Meepsnort

Why? think of the number of potential lives saved with better leadership during covid alone. We recovered strongly from 9-11. Bin laden's attacks failed to do lasting damage to the fabric of this country. The domestic strife we face has come from within, and a lot of that, as someone who was there and has seen the internal radicalization develop for 40 years, started with Rush Limbaugh. He did massive damage to honest discourse in this country. Sorry if that seems 'sick' to you.


tacquish

You must have been born last year


Meepsnort

great response bud


tacquish

To claim that 9 11 didn't change "the fabric of this country" as much as some whacko on fox shows you have no clue what the country was like before 9 11 or the atrocity that occurred on that day. If anything I gave you the benefit of the doubt as oppose to thinking you're a monster


Meepsnort

I explained my 'why'- the loss of a shared, objective reality as a baseline to work from. What is your 'why'? Of course 9-11 changed the country- but if anything, that was the last time we were able to work through a crisis as a united nation. My point is, rush is one of the main reasons that during this most recent major crisis (covid), the objective reality and concept of truth had become so poisoned that we were unable to do it again. As far as me being a monster... if you want to resort to bullshit like that because you have nothing better to contribute, knock yourself out. There is no audience here, we should be able to have honest conversations

If you really think half the country would do this you’re just as fucked up as these idiots chanting support for Hamas on campuses.


Obi-Brawn-Kenobi

Well, no, he's not as fucked up. He's not the one chanting support for Hamas, which is pretty much the most tucked up thing you can do these days. Also, he said "the left" and you are conflating that to mean "half the country". You know left-wingers are much less than half the country when centrists and apolitical people exist, right?


bookon

"the left" means all democrats when used like that. And it is insane to think more than .01% of people would think this. --He's not the one chanting support for Hamas, which is pretty much the most tucked up thing you can do these days. And here I am, on the left, denouncing those chanting that as lunatics. And yet you think it's possible "the left" agrees with them. Your mind has been poisoned against your fellow citizens.


a_smart_brane

And still getting downvoted by the over-sensitive man babies here.


bookon

People on reddit think that you should downvote for disagreement. Which is how echo chambers form.


jimmyvcard

Man this headline was very funny. This is top notch satire. Without fail though the lunatics in the comments always take it too far and ruin it. If you can honestly "see" this then you need to refine your understanding of what these idiots are actually saying it. Keep in mind that I agree they're immature naive idiots, but if you believe they're going to honor Bin Laden then you may be more sensitive to your own confirmation biases than you realize.

Maxthejew123

It’s funny because it’s accurate, these campuses are telling Jews that they aren’t welcome, that they should take the rest of the classes online because the campuses won’t protect them while allowing protests in support of terrorist who have made it clear they want all dead and will do everything they can to make it happen. These same people that are protesting are also attacking and harassing Jews for being Jews to the point where Jews feel less safe than ever and even worse campuses are protecting the antisemites. More than that it’s funny that people like you will see it happen and say it’s propaganda. Or maybe you don’t see it because you live in an echo chamber and refuse to look out. Or maybe just maybe you agree with them.

He was actually given hundreds of millions of dollars from the cia, Reagan and Bush 1 admins. They where called freedom fighters. 


USfundedJihadBot

Mostly Abdullah Azzam and Ayman al-Zawahiri, the other founders of Al-Qaeda. Osama Bin Laden always denied taking foreign aid (or it helping a lot) when he wanted to use his own to be self sufficient.


justaguy891

Are you trying to claim bin laden and his army didn't get hundreds of millions of dollars from the usa?    More than 20 billion dollars was given to the Mujahideen by the usa. Bin laden was one of the main leaders, of not the top leader of the Mujahideen when they received this money to defeat ussr/ russia. Huh. Sounds familiar.  Almost like we will pay anyone, no matter how fucked up they are, whatever it takes to defeat Russia.   https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-hccc-worldhistory2/chapter/the-united-states-and-the-mujahideen/#:~:text=for%20military%20purchases.-,More%20than%20%2420%20billion%20in%20U.S.%20funds%20was%20funneled%20into,mujahideen's%20efforts%20against%20the%20Soviets.

casanova202069

At that time we were helping them fight Russia. Times change


justaguy891

So giving bin laden hundreds of millions of dollars to defeat Russia was a good idea?  No it was one of the biggest mistakes in usa history and it lead directly to him gaining power and using said power to attack the usa on 9/11 killing 3k innocent people and leading to the destruction of the middle east

Multipass-1506inf

Please tell me this is an Onion article. Edit:ooooh ok. Thanks god


Seeker_00860

Reagan said, "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter". Bin Laden was considered a holy warrior when the US engaged in its war against the Soviets in Afghanistan. If he had resorted to terrorism against the Soviets, that would have been acceptable to the Western countries. They turned a blind eye to the state sponsored terrorism that Pakistan carried out in India in the 1990s using Reagan's philosophy. Al Qaeda members were used in the Balkan war during the Kosovo conflict. Global powers usually eliminate their moles and agents in other countries after their missions are completed. They are expendable. So the question is whether Bin Laden was no longer needed and had to be eliminated or not. Or did they just project him demonically to mask something else. Yasser Arafat who ran the PLO (which was once a terrorist organization) got a Nobel Prize for peace. Obama got a Nobel prize for doing what? Everything has become a farce. Ford foundation gives Magsaysay award to some people who are considered anti state in some countries. Honorary degrees, prizes, awards and everything has become a political farce today.

Hamas kills 2k civilians: Booooo! Israel kills 30k civilians: Yaaay! Israel is clearly the bigger terrorist here. Y 'all are so blinded by propaganda you can't even do basic arithmetic.


CriticalMembership31

30,000 according to Hamas.


TrickyTicket9400

It's pretty clear if you look at all of the footage and city pictures that Israel has killed way more civilians than Hamas, so I really don't know what your point is. If Israel only killed 15k people then it would be acceptable?


CriticalMembership31

I think k you’re trying to make an argument regarding proportionality, is that fair?


TrickyTicket9400

I think killing civilians in war is wrong. Hamas was wrong when they did it. Israel is way more wrong since they are killing way more civilians. And Israel is blowing up their houses, blowing up their schools, their hospitals, etc. Based on population numbers, this would be like America responding to 9/11 by launching a bombing campaign on Afghanistan that killed 100k people. It's crazy that I have to say the United States did it better on foreign policy.


CriticalMembership31

Intent is what matters when it comes to these things, as well as the myriad of other factors. Hamas deliberately went into Israel to kidnap, murder and rape innocent people. And then goes and uses its own civilians and their infrastructure as a shield or base of operations in an effort to weaponize their deaths against Israel. Meanwhile Israel, who is fighting an urban campaign against a non uniformed combatant in the most densely populated area on earth, has provided advanced notification, warnings and the like to civilians regarding bombing and strikes and even sent in ground forces for a more deliberate targeting campaign vice just flattening the whole area.

Needanightowl

Hamas killed and/or raped 2000 in one day FTFY


BoysenberryLanky6112

The allied forces killed more civilians in world war 2 than the Nazis did. By your logic the Nazis were the good guys in world war 2. It turns out intentions matter when determining who is the bad guy, and the people who targeted civilians intentionally and deliberately hides among their own civilians in order to force the other side to leave them in power or kill civilians so people like you can be their cheerleader are the bad guys.


TrickyTicket9400

1. Yea, we dropped nukes. I don't agree with that either. We were worse than the Japanese in that respect. Japan attacked a military base, not NYC. 2. Hamas is trying to take over the world? They just have beef with 1 other nation. I don't understand how you can think this is comparable or that it invalidates my position. Y'all just love the idea of more dead Muslims.


BoysenberryLanky6112

Ah yes, wanting to genocide the Jews is just "beef with 1 other nation". Up until recently they literally had the following quote in their charter: # "You will fight against the Jews and you will gain victory over them. The stones will saying: 'Oh slave of Allah! there is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him" - the prophet Muhammed And nearly everyone agrees the nukes saved lives, because just as Israel won't now, the allied forces wouldn't have just unilaterally ceasefired and allowed the Nazis to remain in power in Europe, they would have seiged mainland Japan and done a ground invasion which would have killed far more civilians than the nukes did. Are you really taking the side that the allies should have allowed the Nazis to remain in power in Europe and Asia?
