Who else is being lied to by HostGator HostGator HostGator?
They wrote that I would NEVER be blacklisted again on email servers (but I am), that my security settings would be changed to prevent hacking (which they have not), and that I would receive a check to reimburse me for time and business lost when my sites were taken down even though I had paid for them (which I have not).

This is NOT peaceful protest

'Dealing with Cops Workshop' took place the evening before violent clashes led the university to call in the authorities.

Do these "educated" kids know what they are protesting?
It's "occupation," right?
As they say, "When you point a finger, four are pointed back at you"-

Check out the latest community post from one of your neighbors. (The views expressed in this post are the author’s own.)

Especially as an Ivy League guy, I am DISGUSTED by what is happening to the students of what were once the best arenas of learning and idea exchange in the world.

Can we ask college history departments to simply explain that the Jews of Israel are not the "occupiers" and that the land was “given” by their deity, paid for and bought at market value, given to them by the “owner” (thanks, UK) with the “blessing” of the world (thanks, UN?), and won in defensive wars? In fact, if you know your history, you will know that the Jews themselves were occupied by the Romans and the Babylonians. Even Judas in "Jesus Christ Superstar" sings:
We are occupied!
Have you forgotten how put down we are?

It is a shame that students are being allowed (if not encouraged) to get behind an organization that has used funds intended for schools and social services to build tunnels of death and destruction instead of supporting a democracy that treats its citizens better than any of its neighbors.

I do not want anyone to suffer, but if Israel cannot defend itself and root out Hamas, THEN the Middle East will never know peace.

Let my people go...again!

Am Yisrael Chai!
