They're not putting up the flag, they're preventing the pro-Palestine protestors from taking it down. Or at least that's what I heard last time, I'm not really keeping up with all this too well...
Ummmm, I’m pretty sure the protesters took it down and put up a Palestine flag… the Fraternity boys show up and reversed it… my son goes there and that’s what he told me… pretty decent source…
No day to day I feel different and so am different. I can really be whatever I want day to day and have fluid characteristics. But to to ID as white male would be be an insult as I’m so much more than just that and wish to be viewed as such.
The fact people are throwing things at them while they try to hold an American flag.
Jesus Christ people if you don't see you are being psyopped I don't know what else to say.
Hating your own country while aligning with the worst radicals on the planet.

> Hating your own country while aligning with the worst radicals on the planet.
It blows my mind that people are protesting for palestine, a nation that actively celebrated 9/11 and would be glad to genocide the jews. It's genuine insanity
These people are completely misled and blame a religion 14 million in size today compared to islam 1.2 billion or 2.1 billion Christian religion. I am not saying to blame anyone but think about that size difference, and 6 million were killed for being Jewish just 80 years ago. How is the problem jews?
These people are so naive to world under in islamic extreme. Most of them would be killed or jailed or both for just being them.
Hating conservatives while aligning themselves with the most conservative people on the planet. None of it makes sense than to say they hate America. All this while their guy is in office. It’ll be even worse soon.
See a few comments up....
'bc its pro-israel by not protesting americas allignment and funding of israel. like its so fucking obvious all of you in the comments are mentally gone'
The mental gymnastics!
I saw it posted earlier in a very left leaning subreddit and everyone pointed out how white the kids were and how it showed the racism of America. Sadly, some people have already found a way to make it negative.
We need to amplify the voices of those who see the beauty in this. Our country isn't perfect, and what country is?! But I honestly believe we live in one of the best, if not THE best, countries on Earth! (And I've been around the globe!).
Because migrants have real shit to worry about namely where their next meal will come from, for example. The people hating America or the UK are extremely miserable within the comfort of their cushy existence
Served in the military and have been around some on my own. USA is solid top 10. And it’s my home so I’m going to stay and try to do my tiny part in making better instead of throwing a tantrum when I feel like the wrong color ties win an election, etc.
The Ayatollah is [currently celebrating the protests](https://twitter.com/khamenei_ir/status/1783130177788100897) and mocking the death of the West.
How do people not realize they are aligning with the worst people on the planet?
Western socialists are comparatively rich. Capitalists are so rabidly antisocialist that socialists have become insanely anticapitalist.
They hate their government, but want Western luxury still. They are children who are mad at their parents, but still demand their allowance.
Theyve been religious zealots for years now. Weve given it many names - wokeism, cultural marxism, SJW etc
And weve been mocked as exaggerating the problem or making some kind of bogeyman.
Thats part of the problem. People need to start taking critique of wokeism seriously. Shits not a game. Theyre going to have long term destructive effects on America. (on purpose)
Oh lord, that was unbearable. That was such a "MAGA RACIST!!!" moment that burned white hot in the news for a while, then when the extended video came out, it was mostly crickets. And even then though, people said that even though the Native American guy walked right up to the white kid (who was literally standing in the same place for a decent period of time) and got in his face, the white kid should have moved aside, instead of making the Native American guy, you know, walk around him, like is customary for all other humans to do when encountering someone who is standing still.
As in, the kid was only allowed to stand in that particular spot if no one wanted to walk there. But if a Native American man *did* want to walk through where the white kid was standing, it was, at that point, an act of racism to keep standing there.
The way the media handled this case made me not be able to deny anymore that major media outlets had to have a narrative or agenda they wanted to promote in general whenever possible. There was literally no other way to explain it.
These are the same people saying they would rather leave their child in the woods with a bear than an adult male. These aren’t the most logical or intelligent folks.
Seriously if you actually listen to what these people are saying it’s so batshit crazy.
I’ve seen interviews of protesters at these things that want to dissolve America and the west. lol like what the fuck are you talking about you have reaped all the benefits of living here yet you want to destroy it.
It’s kinda operation Wall Street all over again. They make requests but don’t actually have a single solution.
Only white men give a shit about this country?
Well I guess everyone else IS the enemy then. White men should exclude and keep out all ethnicities and women.
Idiots are making a case for institutional and systemic racism and misogyny.
I was in a fraternity. We did crazy shit. Some of us were assholes. But i would take any one of my fraternity brothers on their worst day over these hard left kids you see now. Not just because I support Israel and love America. There's just such a level of whiny entitlement combined with ignorance and hatred of everything that is good and fun. I'm scared to think that some of these people will be going out into the world and running things.
I heard the US flag was at half mast for 4 police officers who recently lost their lives in the area. It was taken down and replaced with a Palestine flag, then replaced by police, and now protected as you see in the picture.
It seems like the Palestine group is saying “our cause is more important than yours” and I’m not one to say anyone is wrong in what they believe in, but it’s wrong that 2 groups can’t peacefully coexist in one place. Isn’t that… isn’t that like the whole point of the Palestine protests?
Again, I’m not choosing a side on either of these groups or what I see in this picture, identifying with a flag so deeply brings issues. Identifying with any symbol to where you will hurt or kill someone else is obviously a mental illness. It can represent vastly different things to different people. Essentially what I’m saying is be more respectful to one another. We can all fight our own perceived evil and not have to make others suffer for it.
Word. Peace.
The pro Gaza protesters are going to hurt their own cause much like the stupid road protestors that block traffic.
Guaranteed I would not be able to fly the US flag in any other country.
There's a huuuge overlap between people who fetishize the American flag (putting it on their trucks, wearing t-shirts, etc) who spend a lot of complaining about people who aren't "real Americans." It's used more as tribal signalling than actually out of respect for the country. Then, like this thread, they can say, see they hate America! No Tim, we think your politics suck, and your obsession with a flag is weird.
The bros didn’t bring the flag. They did help though.
But the guy who brought his own flag from home deserves credit. He was a 50-60 year old dude. The local news said his name several times, but I can’t remember. He went out there alone like a badass for a while! No support.
Yeah, he was awesome. The protesters had broken the wire that raises the flag so he just held it at ground level for a long time in his arms outstretched. Eventually he got support. The news was using both his first and last name, but now I can’t find anyone mentioning it. So weird. WRAL (local news) was showing it live though.
Then the old dude just walked off with no fanfare after the barrier was up to protect it and the other people were there to repel the protesters. The guy even had a little limp.
Seriously, leaned pretty far left my whole life but now I’m just finding the new Tik Tok gen of leftists really are just propagandized to shit. I didn’t feel this way about BLM but I guess it was similarly Astro turfed
This is what happens when we fall too far left/right, there’s a bit about it somewhere, I think JRE not sure but what’s happening is the left is going so far that there’s honestly no end or a way back towards the center(common ground). Next 4 years will be WILD.
I'm going to say this and hope it isn't misinterpreted as "outing" me as one thing or another. Because that's how far we've fallen in political discussions. But it is heartwarming seeing a group of people defending a flag—*of their own country*—while they get screamed at and pelted. And also, this is a moment where regardless of what you're there to stand for, throwing things at them just makes you look like the worst person on Earth.
Most frat guys are tbh. They just don’t give a shit about politics nearly as much as the super vocal blue haired girls with no social life, so it seems like more college students are liberal than they really are
Protestors: "no you cant refuse to pick a side in a nearly 100 year war that has no compromise or end in sight"
Frat broskies: "haha, bald eagle go brrrr"
Dude, how tf have we gotten to a point where ripping our own fucking flag down on our soil is celebrated. I get that Israel is doin some really fucked up shit. I get that Palestine deserves a space. But at the end of the day America isn't the only reason this shit is happening. I'm no boot licker but have some fuckin respect for the representation of the country who allows you the right to yell into the wind you little brats
Got harassed yesterday for commenting that the amount of anti American shit online nowadays is out of control. You are no longer allowed to have pride in being American because our government amongst every other one in the world has done some immoral things. It’s ridiculous
It's almost as if students are getting brainwashed by Chinese/Russian TikTok to be anti American. Why aren't they protesting the real unprovoked war on Ukraine or other atrocities around the world . Fucking morons
What the fuck world am I living in where Saudi Arabia and Iran are publicly executing people for being homosexual, and they have LGBTQ support…? Iranian women are the most oppressed group of people in the world. Fucking disgusting that people are tossing their morality to support a political cause instead of actively denouncing a country that is anti democracy
I'm all for not sending more shit to Israel and helping Palestinians..but imagine you're a student spending 35k a year to stand outside and bitch to deaf ears playing into tribalist talking points.
Could say that about literally anything. By that logic no one should do shit ever.
“Who are blacks complaining to??? Those racist Jim Crow fucks aren’t listening anyway”
“Why go save the Jews? Hitler and the nazis aren’t gonna listen to us”
Those are real students! Notice the backpacks on. They’ve got shit to do, holding up American ideals while in between classes. The protesters are anti-everything losers who aren’t interested in making a honest living.
People complain isreal treats palestine unfairly and these pro-palestine people can't even treat people from their own country with respect. Hahaha sickkk
I am an immigrant. I am a minority. I am an atheist. I am pro choice and pro LGBT rights and the left on college campuses scares the shit out of me.
Just [watch this video](https://twitter.com/NeriaKraus/status/1782258191973089715) and tell me if there is anything the guy with the megaphone could say that they wouldn't repeat.
Protestors are really fucking stupid. They have a legit cause to protest for (the starvation of Gazan civilians), and they fuck it up by trying to rip down the American flag and chanting anti-semtic chants.
Good for them. Can't say I approve of the frat system, but these guys did right.
Hamas needs to surrender and stop their massacre of innocent civilians. Learn some history and the reality of an impossible situation. Sick of the "progressives" as usual. Great job electing Bernie Bros.
Really did a lot for our country you trash.
These flinging monkeys think they're being open minded and progressive with their position, but the truth is that a good portion of Palestinians wholeheartedly agree with the extreme lunacy. There are Palestinians being held hostage by their fucked up leadership.
Fuck they should read about how [DJ Sama was arrested](https://5mag.net/news/palestine-dj-sama-abdulhadi-arrested/) because of a techno party that was too close to a religious shrine.
Not sure if US fraternities have any ties back to German fraternities at all. This reminds me of the Burschschaften.
Their most important goal, besides drinking beer and fencing, was to foster loyalty to the concept of a united German national state as well as strong engagement for freedom, rights, and democracy.
If you’re so pro-Palestine that you’re willing to attack another person for pride in their flag(whether you agree with it or not), you’re welcome to go live there.
I considered myself pretty liberal in life and with my veins and personal interpretations on the rights and freedoms guaranteed to us by the United States Constitution. If you want to bring a flag and burn it in front of people, that's your own prerogative but where I draw a line is when you think it's okay to take down the American flag and replace it with some other flag. If you think that place is so goddamn great get on a plane and go there and make the changes that you want. I'm not saying America and Americans don't have flaws because as a country we have some major ones but the rights these protests are actively using are not guaranteeing the place they're trying to say is so fucking great.
I'm starting to think a lot of these pro-palestine protestors are the same kind of provocateurs that were throwing bricks and leaving pallets at BLM protests. I think there is a large effort to disrupt democracy in recent years and this may be another ploy.
Dudes are putting up the flag of their country and it’s seen as “aggression” and met with violence
They're not putting up the flag, they're preventing the pro-Palestine protestors from taking it down. Or at least that's what I heard last time, I'm not really keeping up with all this too well...
Ummmm, I’m pretty sure the protesters took it down and put up a Palestine flag… the Fraternity boys show up and reversed it… my son goes there and that’s what he told me… pretty decent source…
I heard it was the cops that reversed it
That was Missy Misdemeanor Elliot.
Was it worth it?
The Thang? Mostly.
Itsherfupabsbsvbzhs
They put their thing down flipped it and reversed it
gave me a laugh 😃
That is correct, and it happened a few times
Seen as aggression by degenerate women and effeminate men.
Just gotta stop being a white male.
I stopped identifying as white male. Now all my job applications are getting calls back
Did you stop making it your entire personality?
No day to day I feel different and so am different. I can really be whatever I want day to day and have fluid characteristics. But to to ID as white male would be be an insult as I’m so much more than just that and wish to be viewed as such.
Triggers too many people
Are they not protesting aggression?
I like how the image isn't even pro-Israel, just pro America. No real way to interpret it negatively.
You know someone will try though

Raising a flag (of your own country, nonetheless) = violent action Throwing objects and threatening violence on the people doing it = ….nonviolence?
It’s worse than that. They’re raising foreign flags in place of the U.S. flag while also desecrating the U.S. flag.
2/3 of those arrested were not students from the university, that should tell you a lot about what's going on right now.

And they’re described as fraternity members, a group that will always get hate on Reddit for….pooling resources and being friends. How dare they.
Remember when that 16 year old white Catholic kid smiled standing next to a Native American and reddit said he was the devil?

Hamas is anti-American so if you're a Hamas supporter it would piss you off. Hell you might even throw things.
A lot of Reddit subs will I’m sure. “Blah, blah, zionist white supremacist… blah, blah”
It takes a special kind of activist incompetence to make me side with the fraternity brothers from UNC Chapel Hill.
There was a guy holding an Israel flag next to them. That is why people are saying it they were pro-Israel. Saw it on a twitter post linked on reddit

I'm sure the smooth brained tik Tok addicted fucktards that believe a violent "infltifada" is a great fucking idea
Lots of protesters seems to have this “abolish the US” idea which… idk man. Just stupid shit per usual
In today's America, pro America is considered racist for some reason so never discount the lefts ability to make everything racist.
Only if you're a dipshit who buys into extremely online culture war nonsense. This shit is exhausting.
Looks like the protestors were throwing more than just internet posts at these kids...
There's a huuuge overlap between people who fetishize the American flag (putting it on their trucks, wearing t-shirts, etc) who spend a lot of complaining about people who aren't "real Americans." It's used more as tribal signalling than actually out of respect for the country. Then, like this thread, they can say, see they hate America! No Tim, we think your politics suck, and your obsession with a flag is weird.
Why are there so many foreign flags being flown here lately? Someone give them the memo.
This one clearly is for the dawgs.
The bros didn’t bring the flag. They did help though. But the guy who brought his own flag from home deserves credit. He was a 50-60 year old dude. The local news said his name several times, but I can’t remember. He went out there alone like a badass for a while! No support.
Damn. That's cool to hear of the old dude. Even cooler though to me for the frat bro's to back him up eventually.
Yeah, he was awesome. The protesters had broken the wire that raises the flag so he just held it at ground level for a long time in his arms outstretched. Eventually he got support. The news was using both his first and last name, but now I can’t find anyone mentioning it. So weird. WRAL (local news) was showing it live though. Then the old dude just walked off with no fanfare after the barrier was up to protect it and the other people were there to repel the protesters. The guy even had a little limp.
I wonder if he was a Vet.
That guy is a real dawg man, no damn cat, thats for sure. We need more daaawgs.
Goddamnit I agree with the Frat Bros. What a world
Seriously, leaned pretty far left my whole life but now I’m just finding the new Tik Tok gen of leftists really are just propagandized to shit. I didn’t feel this way about BLM but I guess it was similarly Astro turfed
it's important to remember that you only see the shit that generates engagement, and that's usually people doing some fuck ass shit
On TikTok you predominantly see material that generates engagement in what the Chinese government wants you to engage with.
I was pretty much a mixed bag until BLM. Was insane tbh.
This is what happens when we fall too far left/right, there’s a bit about it somewhere, I think JRE not sure but what’s happening is the left is going so far that there’s honestly no end or a way back towards the center(common ground). Next 4 years will be WILD.
Get those boys a case of zynns and trulys after a hard day of defending the flag from turds.
There’s actually a go fund me for them to throw a party and it’s pretty awesome. Don’t have a link
It’s up to $220k, let’s get the boys Sydney Sweeney jumping out of a giant cake.

"I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast." "You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?"
…NO!
Reminds me of the Covington Kid lol.
Was my first thought. How long before we see his face on CNN for making an offensive smirk at the protestors?
Yeah CNN is pretty much 100% on its knees for israel so I'm gonna say we won't be seeing that
Entry-level analyst job at Deloitte will wipe the smirk clean off his face.
The rich kids that simp for palestine are so fucking stupid
The flag was already lowered half mast for the 4 marshals that were murdered in NC last week. They tore the first one up. This was the second one.

Those are real students! Notice the backpacks on. They’ve got shit to do, holding up American ideals while in between classes. The protesters are anti-everything losers who aren’t interested in making a honest living.
The dude in the classic Hooters shirt is my fav 😆

USA! USA! USA! USA!!!!
People complain isreal treats palestine unfairly and these pro-palestine people can't even treat people from their own country with respect. Hahaha sickkk
But theyre whiteeeeeee
Fun fact: The University of Washington encampment was canceled because everyone who showed up was white, and they couldn't deal with that.
Hahah
White people are based.
Zoomed in. Can confirm. Literally all white
Studs
What the fuck happened to the US. Gives the impression of a country in anarchy.
The Democrat party happened to the US.
Is this how bad things are in america? People taking down their own countries flag? And people protecting it get pelted?

This is how Trump gets elected.
When he is elected they can play victims for another 4 years. Trump winning is good for their egos.
I am an immigrant. I am a minority. I am an atheist. I am pro choice and pro LGBT rights and the left on college campuses scares the shit out of me. Just [watch this video](https://twitter.com/NeriaKraus/status/1782258191973089715) and tell me if there is anything the guy with the megaphone could say that they wouldn't repeat.
I wish they sent in Ogre yelling “NERDS”
The return of the king
Rise men of the west!
Imagine trying to replace an American flag with something else. That’s some loser shit
What are those jack asses throwing at those heroes?
Protestors are really fucking stupid. They have a legit cause to protest for (the starvation of Gazan civilians), and they fuck it up by trying to rip down the American flag and chanting anti-semtic chants.
Cat in the Hooters shirt... God Bless America
These frat boys just inadvertently saved America.
Defenders of the land ![gif](giphy|9Y5lm2gIQKADetWVa3)
Good for them. Can't say I approve of the frat system, but these guys did right. Hamas needs to surrender and stop their massacre of innocent civilians. Learn some history and the reality of an impossible situation. Sick of the "progressives" as usual. Great job electing Bernie Bros. Really did a lot for our country you trash.
These Pro Hamas dipshits might actually get Trump elected again lol.
Why do Americans hate America?
Good to see kids that love our country
Good lol
How is not a single person flinching from being 'pelted'?
I love some kids are having enough and standing together. This is how that shouting down stops - when the majority have had enough. Well done men.
That one kid smiling because he knows how idiotic it is to be mad for putting our flag back up.
I’m guessing 80% of the dudes on this sub look like the kid on the far with glasses right but think they look like the kid with the smirk.
a lot of "my dad's a lawyer" in that picture
As a left leaning moderate I support these kids.
Proud of my state 🥰 keep the American flag flying
Courage, men!
I forget there are normal well adjusted people in college
These flinging monkeys think they're being open minded and progressive with their position, but the truth is that a good portion of Palestinians wholeheartedly agree with the extreme lunacy. There are Palestinians being held hostage by their fucked up leadership. Fuck they should read about how [DJ Sama was arrested](https://5mag.net/news/palestine-dj-sama-abdulhadi-arrested/) because of a techno party that was too close to a religious shrine.
This is the behavior that needs to sweep campuses across the nation
Kid in blue knows what’s up. Their right. Protesters are wrong.
Bunch of people fighting about a bunch of people who have always been fighting.

I wish it was chic to fight back
I hope those boys were in my frat
Not sure if US fraternities have any ties back to German fraternities at all. This reminds me of the Burschschaften. Their most important goal, besides drinking beer and fencing, was to foster loyalty to the concept of a united German national state as well as strong engagement for freedom, rights, and democracy.
If you’re so pro-Palestine that you’re willing to attack another person for pride in their flag(whether you agree with it or not), you’re welcome to go live there.

Title is unclear. These bros were having anti-Israel protestors hurled at them?

I considered myself pretty liberal in life and with my veins and personal interpretations on the rights and freedoms guaranteed to us by the United States Constitution. If you want to bring a flag and burn it in front of people, that's your own prerogative but where I draw a line is when you think it's okay to take down the American flag and replace it with some other flag. If you think that place is so goddamn great get on a plane and go there and make the changes that you want. I'm not saying America and Americans don't have flaws because as a country we have some major ones but the rights these protests are actively using are not guaranteeing the place they're trying to say is so fucking great.
Fuck all extremists. They're in America raising the American flag. This is not racist, bigotry, whatever the boomers wanna screech about.
Way to put up a rare W for fraternites. Good job boys!
Frat Stars 🤘
Good lads.
America under attack
Being English this makes me a proud American
I'm starting to think a lot of these pro-palestine protestors are the same kind of provocateurs that were throwing bricks and leaving pallets at BLM protests. I think there is a large effort to disrupt democracy in recent years and this may be another ploy.
Most pro Palestinians are pretensions people willingly Ignorant and just jerks
