http://statenews.com When three college students gathered Thursday outside the office of Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., they were hoping to speak with Levin about his support of Israel. Instead, they were arrested. en-us Gryphon 2.2.3b-tsn (woodward)/Foundry5 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 09:36:57 -0500 webmaster@statenews.com http://statenews.com/index.php/comment/view/30738 And Marty, you used the wrong type of “it’s” when you repeated somebody’s observation. Levin is Jewish, what would they expect his stance on Israel to be?

Levin is obviously Jewish – who’s he supposed to support? Way to go, Ahlam Mohsen. You’re now in the system, and flagged as a trouble maker. Unfortunately with your name, you didn’t need the attention brought upon you.

Just because Levin is Jewish doesn’t mean he has to support Israeli policy. Does every black congressmen have to unequivocally support every African government no matter how brutal they may be? Does every Muslim support Saudi Arabia’s vicious fundamentalist government? Who is Levin supposed to support? He is supposed to support US law, international law, and human rights—not a religious affiliation.

There are better ways of protesting your government than getting arrested. Good luck finding a job with a record. I hope their parents are proud that they paid 10,000 dollars a semester for an education that is basically worthless now.

That 10,000 dollars per semester, Steve, might be put to better use educating people who aren’t as cowed by fear of the unknown/different.

Many Jewish people oppose the war in Gaza, the tactics used by Isreal, et cetera.

I mean that really takes procrastination to an entirely new level when you put off your protest of a War until the war is over. Where were you three weeks ago?

It’s one thing to have an opinion, another to call for violence. And what’s this offensive generalizing about Jews here in the other posts? You guys would probably be upset if I talked about a Muslims like that. I am disgusted. My opinion is that Israel simply has its own war on terror, against the likes of people who say “Anyone supporting Israel should be shot, its that easy.” Why don’t you guys move somewhere else?

Israel violated the fourth Geneva Convention by killing innocent civilian people men, women and children, using white phosphorus weapons that are controversial today because of their potential use against civilians. Israel should be called for international investigation war crimes. Sat, 31 Jan 2009 09:36:57 -0500 http://statenews.com/index.php/comment/view/31612
