As police cracked down on anti-war protests on college campuses across the US in recent weeks, among those arrested were a pair of silver-haired 65-year-old professors armed only with their cell phones.

Annelise Orleck was knocked to the ground and restrained with plastic handcuffs at a protest at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. She later complained of whiplash.

Steve Tamari was tackled by officers and taken into custody at a demonstration at Washington University in St. Louis, an attack he said resulted in multiple broken ribs and a broken hand.

Orleck and Tamari are among at least 50 professors arrested at campus protests across the country, according to a CNN review of police records, court filings, and news reports. (Since April 18, more than 2,400 students have been arrested amid protests on more than 50 campuses.) In some cases, professors said they were actively participating in protests based on their own beliefs. Others said they attended to show support for their students.

Where did I say they cut the number of deaths in half? I said they cut the number of children dead in half. Check the un stats on May 7th then check the un stats on May 12th. If you need help reading, ask your mom to step in..

So you don't have any sources.

And lack reading compression as it's only changed categories not totals

https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/13/middleeast/death-toll-gaza-fatalities-un-intl-latam/index.html

report reduced the number of women and children believed to have been killed in the war by nearly half.

The number was reduced because the UN says it is now relying on the number of deceased women and children whose names and other identifying details have been fully documented, rather than the total number of women and children kille

The source is literally the UN reporting itself. Look at May 6th. Look at May 8th. The UN is now saying that they don't have data to support The claims that are being made. That you are trying to twist this into anything other than what they're saying is just another example of the icj ruling where people ignorantly ran around claiming the ruled. It was plausibly a genocide. Even the president of the icj had to come out to correct the stupidity. This is exactly the same thing all over. Just like when Hamas bombed the hospital and everyone around saying it was Israel too. The ignorance being displayed by the people who desperately want to believe everything bad they hear about Israel is astonishing LMFAO.

It seems one of us is aware of the facts and the other is not. The president of the panel that handed down the ruling is on record as saying opinions like the one that you're putting forward are incorrect. They did not rule there is a plausible genocide. She made that exceptionally clear.

That she even had to come out and correct the record because of people like you demonstrates just how deeply the propaganda has spread.

Not to mention the panel didn't intervene. If it was a genocide wouldn't they have done something? they intervened in Russia, Ukraine, It's absolutely within their purview to do so, yet they chose not to.

Yeah really great look for Israel. who continue to do the genocide
