    You are running in circles. I am saying why isn’t pro Israel lobby saying something about the POV of Palestine ? Why does it have to be only pro Palestine people who have to recognize the other side?

      No, you quite literally said: “Why? Why should this person have said something about both sides?”

      I’m not engaging your whataboutism. I’m specifically responding to the exact words you used. This person should have been more sensitive to the broader context than they were, as the president of the university’s Student Bar Association and a person with a considerable audience. In the event of a violent conflict it’s poor taste to come out and lambast the actions of one party but sidestep or ignore the actions of the other.

      I didn’t say anything about any “lobby”, or the fact that one person should be instructed to do something and the other given a pass.

      Go back and read my comment again, because you clearly didn’t get it the first time.
