    The “You know what? FUCK YOU AMERICANS, YOU LET THIS HAPPEN” crowd is conveniently absent in this thread… 🤔

    I hope the government doesn’t immediately resort to maximum prejudice when they remove the protestors…

    The article [title] conveniently leaves out who organized the protest. ☺️

    E: I meant to say title, but I missed the word. Ironic.

        Yes but as we are well aware, many if not most would just read the title. I think the average American would get different impression of the protest if they read that JVP have organized it. Conversely, by omitting that the authors also achieve a certain impression. Just perused the news articles about this event and most outlets don’t mention it. AP is among the very few that do.

          You said the article leaves out who organized the protest, not that the title leaves out who organized the protest.

          Titles have limited space, you can’t put every detail in there. There has to be at least some expectation that people will read the attached articles, otherwise why not just tweet this?

      No it doesn’t, it says it

      But this is great that Jewish Voice for Peace is doing this.

      Right now he was arrested as a pretext for antisemitism. This is why I’m glad a Jewish group is protesting this, because this is really testing the water what the reaction will be and if we don’t react they will go after test of us.

      Seems like next target is trying to arrest people protesting in front of Tesla dealerships.

      The book On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons From the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder is must read for current situation.

      If you can’t get the book I found an audiobook on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OUWwdflJsU&list=PLJfmMQGc3lnIQFSxEHyCrenv4e9GiZfpx

        Exactly. That’s why I noticed that the title omits this important bit. JVP want the American public to know it’s Jews protesting, as they say on their shirts and signs. They know it’s important. Yet most outlets hide it from the titles.

          Oh I see what you mean. Yeah that’s an important detail which would make the title more clickable and they still didn’t put it there.
