Columbia clears encampment of pro-Palestinian protesters

What a wild time to be alive.

Good for NYPD.

I have mixed feelings about this. The university is right to clear public spaces if protests are breaking the rules and interfering with classes or keeping students from attending class.

But their timing could not be worse: since this happened right after yesterday's Congressional hearing, it's going to look like Columbia's president bowed to the Congressional nutters and is doing it to placate them.

This will likely spur bigger protests all over the country on multiple campuses from sympathetic students.

Were the Womyn wearing their burkas yet?

R4 the timing is intentional, not unfortunate.

Lock them up! Terrorist supporters.

Ah, to be young and stupid again!

Meh. They could be doing much worse.

I have a soft spot for student protesters. They're still young enough to believe in the illusion of a better world. I like their inherent optimism.

They support Hamas. Fuck em.

Columbia has always played second fiddle to Berkeley R9.

Google fired a bunch of employees who were sitting in demanding a change in company policy.

Parents are supposed to rebel against their parents' views, Isra.

Oops, kids are supposed to rebel against their parents' views.

This is nothing compared to Columbia’s legendary Vietnam protests in 1968. Those shut down the entire campus for at least a week.

Those brave Trust Fund Victims facing down the genocidal, racist NYPD!

It is true that for a few people anti-Zionism is not antisemitism, but for most of these people they come from the same place.

There is a way to deal with people you disagree with.

In 1968 male students protesting the war could be drafted after graduating and forced to fight. Now the goals are more abstract. Even if the US stopped supporting Israel, Hamas and Israel would still be at war. And the effect on.the lives of most Columbia students is zero.

Israel is quite used to being vilified by Arabs and their sympathizers. These protests are not going to accomplish a thing except give bored children something to make themselves feel important.and further isolate progressives from liberals.

It’s becoming clear that “Brown-good/white-bad” is the governing “idea” of progressives and they are proving the weakness of their ideology.

Considering that Israel was created by violence, land theft and dispossession, and is run using those game gestapo methods, it’s completely unfair and unjustified that the Arabs “and their sympathizers” vilify them, amirite r23?

These protestors are today's "Useful Idiots", providing unwitting support for Iran's proxy war on Israel via Hamas. Well I would hope it is unwitting, given that Iran is a theocratic dictatorship like something straight out of "The Handmaiden's Tale"

All nations were created by violence, land theft and dispossession There are far worse things going on in the world than what is happening in Gaza. American progressives’ obsessive and exclusive focus on this conflict is due to its being shoehorned into an inapt colonialism paradigm and to antisemitism.

Tuition is currently 65K a year and total cost 88K. If any of these camping protesters are students perhaps they should put their energy into their studies. Preferably in real domains of use to society.

[quote]perhaps they should put their energy into their studies. Preferably in real domains of use to society.

NYT: Ms. Hirsi is a junior majoring in sociology. Two other Barnard students, Maryam Iqbal, 18, a freshman, and Soph Dinu, 21, a junior majoring in religion, were also suspended.

[quote] All nations were created by violence, land theft and dispossession

Including especially the Arab empire. But never mind that because they’re brown, right?

Probably need-blind diversity admits on full tuition scholarships. Plus ça change

[quote]Including especially the Arab empire. But never mind that because they’re brown, right?

R29 you can add slavery to that little list.

[quote]Slavery in Iran and slavery in Jordan was abolished in 1929. In the Persian Gulf, slavery in Bahrain was first to be abolished in 1937, followed by slavery in Kuwait in 1949 and slavery in Qatar in 1952, while Saudi Arabia and Yemen abolished it in 1962, while Oman followed in 1970. Mauritania became the last state to abolish slavery, in 1981

Thats in living memory for many of us here

This is what you get for dumbing down general education standards that entail rigorous history courses and replacing them with diversity requirements or various "x studies" fields.

Kids these days have no sense of historical context or genuine global perspective. But it's probably also endemic in American culture to see everything thought a unnuanced lens.

*an unnuanced

[quote] Thats in living memory for many of us here

As in "today"

Well..... there you have it. It did not know that and I'm horrified

R22, you don't have to be immediately affected by something in order to protest it. In any event, instability in the Middle East tends to have long-term consequences, financial and otherwise, for the entire world.

R24, you have no clue about history. Jews have lived in what is now Israel for thousands of years, arabs/muslims not so much. If you really care about the truth, which I'm sure you are not, educate yourself about the ongoing islamic conquest and horror that is islam.

[quote]In any event, instability in the Middle East tends to have long-term consequences, financial and otherwise, for the entire world.

I'm sure establishing an Iranian proxy state on the Israeli border will defuse all tensions.

Zzzz 😵‍💫

Helen Prejean is still alive, r40

As is her ghost, ready to piss on the idiocracy that is SS.

Thanks!

After the rally they they can march downtown breaking the windows of Jewish owned businesses

This is what they’re protesting btw.

Are they supporting the hostages, dead and alive, held by Hamas? Are they supporting Muslims dying in Sudan, Mali, Niger and Yemen? Are they supporting those being slaughtered by Assad in Syria…by Putin in Ukraine. And so on.

We’ll wait …

If only we could convince them that Putin is Jewish and Ukrainians are brown-skinned.

The students should be expelled for supporting terrorists.

I have a friend who is tenured at Barnard and she told me today her Jewish students are absolutely terrified. It's really spun out of control this year because the Columbia administration was so laissez-faire until very recently. The pro-Palestinian activists want a last hurrah before the semester ends next week.

[quote] I have a friend who is tenured at Barnard and she told me today her Jewish students are absolutely terrified.

Terrified of what? People expressing their constitutional right to protest a genocide being undertaken by the Israeli state?

There is no genocide. That’s a loaded word and doesn’t describe the situation. It turns people off to supporting the cause. But why be surprised when the whole protest is so poorly organized it accomplishes nothing.

[quote] I have a friend who is tenured at Barnard and she told me today her Jewish students are absolutely terrified.

Terrified of being physically harmed on their way to their classes as they walk through the quads.

These Columbia students were marching in support of the Houthis just a few weeks ago. They aren't against 'genocide'. They are FOR terrorism and anti Western. About half seem to be privileged white students in love with radical chic. The rest are fundie Muslims. Both groups hate Jews.

'Terrified of what? People expressing their constitutional right to protest a genocide being undertaken by the Israeli state?'

Terrified of Islam a fundamentalist cult whose avowed goal is of a complete extermination of the Jewish people growing in Europe and the US.

Please tell us R49 what makes you so stupid. Because it defies explanation to any intelligent human being.

[quote] Lock them up! Terrorist supporters.

Hi, Fascist pig!

R53, read the First Amendment of the US constitution and get back to us. Censorship is way more dangerous. Nazis are allowed to legally march down the streets of Washington for a reason. What you want is a fascist state.

[quote] I have a friend who is tenured at Barnard and she told me today her Jewish students are absolutely terrified.

She’s lying. Jewish students are part of this.

I'm not r48, but Jews -- including Jewish students -- are hardly a monolith, r56.

I'm glad I have r56 blocked.

R55 - there is no first amendment right to set up a protest camp on private property.

r59 is absolutely correct.

Columbia is a private university, and they have posted their rules about protests. The protestors broke the university's rules by putting up the encampment. The university has been within its legal rights to clear out the protestors and to have them arrested.

There are many Jews involved. A friend of mine is on the Columbia faculty and he showed me a message asking for someone from the faculty to support the Jewish students holding sabbath dinner in the “liberation zone.” Apparently they have no Jewish faculty mentor. You can’t keep your progressive cred if you don’t get with the program. At Harvard, some student groups having nothing to do with religion or politics require Jewish students to denounce Israel in order to participate.

Link please.

How did we get so many pro-terrorists students and faculty at our universities, and so many pro-terrorists groups blocking streets and interrupting businesses throughout the country? It would be strange at any time but it's especially disturbing post 9/11. Funding must be coming in from somewhere.

It was Berkeley, not Harvard.

[quote] Funding must be coming in from somewhere.

R63 Iran and other Middle Eastern oil money. Possibly also Russia is chipping in

R64 what’s at the link does not match the quote in R62….not to mention it’s a small group of jerks in an affinity group on a campus of almost 40,000.

The whining is just sad. Do people still read Thoreau? He was willing to go to jail for his beliefs. One girl was complaining about having to wait for an hour to collect her belongings from her dorm room. Sheesh.

Is the blocking of a major bridge for 5 hours considered an act of domestic terrorism as was said was done by Chistie when he blocked the GW Bridge out of a spiteful whim. I guess not.

R65, they said things like that about the Vietnam protestors. It was the work of sinister “foreign agitators.” It couldn’t possibly be people motivated by political concerns.

No foreign agents needed if you’ve paid attention to elite universities. It’s been anti Israel there for probably decades. This also gives the folk who marched for BLM and trans genocide something to do. I notice lots of entitled white females in the mix. They like to lead the show for victimization because otherwise you might think they were part of the victimizer group

[quote] How did we get so many pro-terrorists students and faculty at our universities, and so many pro-terrorists groups blocking streets and interrupting businesses throughout the country?

Two generations of campus indoctrination and passive administration

[quote]It couldn’t possibly be people motivated by political concerns.

Why do their political concerns involve defending terrorists? Who does that? Why aren't they angry at Hamas for attacking, raping, murdering, torturing and kidnapping civilians, and for refusing to release hostages, and for embedding themselves within civilian populations? These students seem to have no political concerns about Iran funding terrorist groups to attack Israel and trying to destabilize the Middle East.

I'll never understand anyone defending terrorism.

Critical race theory is useful as an alternative perspective—applied to ensure that the perspective of people who had been historically overlooked is not ignored. However, it does not work as the primary means of analysis. It creates more distortion when it is the only perspective considered. People who are angry or disappointed in life have latched onto the oppressor/oppressed dichotomy to justify their own failures and replace self-evaluation with anger. Add “intersectionality” and you have all sorts of disappointed, unhappy people piling on.

When you try to shoe-horn a truly complicated conflict into a simple formula, you are going to wind up with some truly wrong takes, especially when labelling one side the oppressor means you pay no further attention to it’s perspective and its arguments because doing so is deemed to be listening to evil. It’s lazy. It’s self-righteous. It’s distorting. But being angry and convinced you’re fighting for justice is so much more satisfying than thinking.

Left political economy filtered into many domains on campuses starting in the 70s. Investigating academic domains to identify and limit bias - class, race, gender, whatever - and therefore have broader knowledge - started off as a good gesture. 1970s-1990s.

One issue was the investigation of bias overtook other domain activities. 1990s to 2010s.

Bias itself turned into domains. 1990s - to present.

Post-colonial studies. Gender studies. Blah blah blah.

Many of the current professors are lesser minds - narrower minds than their professors. They have been trained in very narrow intellectual gamesmanship. So yes, they are indoctrinating yet another generation of students in "soft domains".

This is Columbia U. Remember that cunt Carry That Weight? Columbia REWARDED mattress girl WITH ACADEMIC CREDITS towards an Ivy League Degree for her histrionic bullshit bullying "art and politics" project. They did NOT shut it down.

A correction is in order. Please study REAL domains not masturbatory theories applied to real domains.

Recent reports suggest that Columbia's long vaunted School of Social work has been gutted by critical theory.

𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝑪𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒓𝒖𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎 𝒂𝒍𝒍

The system is self-perpetuating if you think about it. DEI means a university hires faculty on the basis of identity rather than achievement. The idea behind doing so is to foster a diversity of viewpoints but it backfires when everyone has the same ideology—that Europeans, men, straights, “cis” people etc are “privileged” and should be torn down.

One big difference between this generation of college protestors and the Vietnam generation is that the latter understood that certain acts of civil disobedience would lead to arrest. Indeed, that was often the goal. Conversely, a lot of these students (if the footage is to be believed) are shocked when the cops showed up to take them to jail.

In this case they did not think of themselves as engaged in “civil disobedience.” They thought Columbia would let them take over a portion of the campus as their “liberation zone” because “freedom of speech.”

That’s how stupid they are^

It’s not really so stupid. The idea of breaking up the encampment is extremely controversial. Many in the faculty are shocked that freedom of speech does not trump all other considerations. There will be an enormous backlash against the administration. Especially since the new President is a Muslim woman who would gave been expected to side with the protesters.

[quote] I have a friend who is tenured at Barnard and she told me today her Jewish students are absolutely terrified.

There is a certain irony in this. Other than possibly this one issue of the attack on Israel, those Barnard students almost certainly were already part of the woke university hive mind.

One hopes people are starting to think for themselves.

What interests me about the exchange between r48 and r49 is that I've seen this elsewhere -- including in the comments section of a Washington Post article on the protests -- that is, the questioning of Jewish student motives. A WashPo commenter called the Jewish students "snowflakes." (Like r48, I have heard from Jewish colleagues about an ever-increasing feeling of dread as they watch the vitriol contained in some of these demonstrations. It's taking a toll on them.)

In a strange way, it feeds into anti-Semitic tropes about the Jews being both conniving and powerful, secretly plotting to shut down open debate by lying about how it impacts them.

I doubt the same people downplaying the fear and dismay of Jewish students had the same reaction to Black Americans who vocalized their fears in summer 2020 after George Floyd's murder. There's a huge double standard in all this.

Thinking that your small group is entitled to a liberation zone in the middle of campus IS stupid.

This “one issue” has been going on for a long time. The BDS movement was petering out, but has come roaring back.

Of course there’s a double standard. Jews are classified as privileged and now as oppressors. Their feelings are suspect and their point of view is to be ignored. Only the feelings of the oppressed have validity.

If Jews say they feel oppressed, the reaction is “good!”

[quote] Thinking that your small group is entitled to a liberation zone in the middle of campus IS stupid.

But you are ignoring the fact that most of the campus (students and faculty) agree with them.

It’s a bizzaro Jerry world^

Susan Sarandon wore her souvenir Simpsons jacket to this event (R39) perhaps not knowing or caring that these same people recently drove that cartoon’s producers to retire the character of Apu simply because he was voiced by a white man.

She’s lucky the damned kids didn’t rip the Apu patch off her chest.

Liberation zone?! Berkeley wouldn’t take that shit with People's Park! They hauled their asses right out and sealed it up.

…it took 50 years but they did it!😜

The prevailing view on campus reflected in student newspaper editorial

From the editorial:

Shafik’s authorization of the New York Police Department to enter campus and forcibly remove peaceful protesters spotlights the emptiness and duplicity of the promises she made to Congress and the Columbia community. In her opening statement to the Committee, Shafik claimed that she has always “held on to four principles”: prioritizing safety as being paramount, demonstrating “care and compassion equally to everyone,” upholding freedom of nondiscriminatory and non-abusive speech, and affirming education as the ultimate answer to antisemitism and hate.

Much like the “community values” that have been hypocritically implemented by administrators, not only have Shafik’s principles been void from the very beginning of her administration’s response to events after October 7, 2023, but her response to the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” only further cements her selectivity in enforcing her “principles.” When the NYPD Strategic Response Group—which the New York Civil Liberties Union has repeatedly characterized as “notoriously violent”—is welcomed onto campus with open arms, it is Shafik who “disrupts campus life” and infringes on her supposedly paramount principle of safety. How can students, especially those of color, feel safe when their campus is flooded by a police force infested with systemic racism and armed with riot gear? Clearly, “care and compassion” are not being extended equally to everyone.

T91 that’s the prevailing view of the editorial board, nothing more.

For R91 and R92^

More:

“ The administration has ignored our countless pleas to engage meaningfully with students, opting instead to continue down a path of surveillance, oppression, and authoritarian policies. Columbia should encourage free discourse on campus, not censor marginalized voices under the guise of “safety” and protection”

The feelings of Jews on campus do not enter the discussion, except to be dismissed perfunctorily.

I assure you the prevailing view of the editorial board is the prevailing view on campus.

It’s not controversial at all, and most agree with the encampment being broken up R81. People don’t like protestors in this country, and certainly not kids siding with Hamas and Hitler.

What planet are you living on?

R96 never worked for a college newspaper …

[quote] Dr. Shafik’s decision drew criticism on Friday from the campus chapter of the American Association of University Professors, a professional faculty organization.

“We have lost confidence in our president and our administration, and we pledge to fight to reclaim our university,” the group said in a statement Friday.

If they had cared about the Kurds or the people of Syria to this degree (or at all) during Trump's administration, I would take them a little seriously and not think it wasn't about hating Jews.

But they didn't and they don't and it is, Blanche.

If every university president challenged by its faculty senate, or equivalent, were to resign or pushed out…well, there would be no university presidents anywhere.

Or, hey. The African Christians being murdered daily in Africa now. They're brown, too!

Where are their protests?

The people over in Haiti?

What about their oppression? Where are their protests? Has TikTok not gotten around to telling them to care yet or have they not found a way to blame it on the Jews?

Sorry—a faculty vote of no confidence is a big deal—especially in a new President. In any case, the subject under discussion is whether or not the editorial reflects the prevailing view on Columbia’s campus. It does.

Golly. Did they shove them into Venezuela?

Are you talking to me R98? Because I live on the planet where people know what WW2 was and know Jewish people that lost most of their families in the Holocaust and understands what real genocide actually is. I come from the planet of REALITY, something you insane and dangerous anti semitic Hamas lovers don’t have a fucking clue about.

I really have to wonder who would come here to argue that inviting the police onto a college campus to break up a student protest and arrest the students is going to be popular on any college campus, let alone in today’s environment.

What a bizarre argument.

It does not R104, repeat it as much as you want.

Can’t wait for TikTok to be banned. It’ll be happening with the Israel/Ukraine bill passing in the next week. Where will you Hamas/Hitler lovers turn to when your little indoctrination app is dead?

There will just be a new app.

R109, they'll just a VPN.

R106 you can’t argue with lunatics who scream about genocide, settlers, apartheid and colonialism. It’s a waste of time. Let them keep screaming on these wealthy college campuses and into the void of their stupid social media. Israel doesn’t give a fuck. Neither does the U.S. government.

I feel terrible for the Jewish students who are impacted by this shit. What a miserable time to be in college.

Lolol. You think the morons on TikTok know what a VPN is R111? They can barely function in adult society, much less figure out how to get around an app ban.

I don’t generally bother with them R112, but sometimes the dangerous stupidity and Trump like devotion to Hamas and Hitler is too much to handle.

R111 I doubt most TikTok users have got the smarts to use a VPN as R113 said before I got to it

[quote]I feel terrible for the Jewish students who are impacted by this shit. What a miserable time to be in college.

R112 I feel terrible for Jewish people in general these days, even some are feeling unsafe here down under. Fuckin Nazis everywhere

[quote]The prevailing view on campus reflected in student newspaper editorial.

Bullshit. There is no "prevailing view" on anything at Columbia. I went to the law school and we never gave a shit about what the undergraduate twerps thought or did.

Exactly R116. And show me the evidence of this “prevailing view” on campus. A couple of dozen protestors isn’t evidence of shit, nor is a vote by disgruntled and stupid faculty members.

I have shown you evidence in the form of the student newspaper editorial and a faculty vote of no confidence in the administration. You have dismissed both, but offered nothing to support your view that the campus supports the arrests. I find it very revealing that you not only ignore my evidence, but cry out “show me the evidence” in the face of it. I don’t know what your agenda is here, but it clearly isn’t good faith debate.

Good day, sir.

There is no good faith debate in this situation because everything you support is false and a lie perpetrated by Russians, Hamas, and anti semites. I don’t care about your opinions or your lack of real evidence. Be quiet.

I said, “Good day, sir!”

The Spectator's managing board.

What else did you expect

NYT is dripping with bias. The menacing tone of the reporting says it all. They are really trying to egg on the protesters.

BTW—I have been extremely critical in this thread and elsewhere of the Pro-Palestinian protests and their ideological underpinnings. I am not pointing out the prevailing view on campus because I agree with it I am pointing it out as a sign of the problem. So no, everything I support is not “false and a lie perpetrated by Russians, Hamas, and anti semites.”

The Times is basically the NY Post now. Who even takes it seriously?

So the times is both “egging on the protestors” and Rupert Murdoch propaganda?

The students arrested in the Columbia protest are exactly who you would expect: pampered, well-connected activists.

And one of them apparently also somehow got away with killing two people in a car crash for reasons that still don't make any sense to me but seem to stem from being the daughter of a UPS bigwig and Vermont deciding not to prosecute juveniles.

As I mentioned at R74, these are mostly young people who believe gobbledegook critical gender theory to be a legitimate pursuit for their activities and their minds. Bonus points to the cunt who killed 2 senior citizens and paid a $200 fine as punishment. Her parents must be very very proud.

r126 I saw an interview with two Barnard students who had been suspended for their role in the protests. They were gloating and said, "Yeah, they could expel us. We welcome it!"

This is not the sentiment of students who've taken out loans to pay for their education.

[quote] How did we get so many pro-terrorists students and faculty at our universities

Because, ironically, Jewish academics have been pushing the West is evil, whites are colonizers, narrative for decades. Now, it’s backfired on them.

[quote] There is a certain irony in this. Other than possibly this one issue of the attack on Israel, those Barnard students almost certainly were already part of the woke university hive mind.

I teach at a liberal arts college, and I can tell you from years of experience with them that college student bodies are NOT monolithic "hive minds," despite the bullshit the rightwing media keeps telling you (and that you're apparently lapping right up). Students have different opinions, and even if there are many pro-Palestinian protestors at Barnard and Columbia and other colleges, there are also many pro-israel students. they do not all get along, which is why there are problems at those schools. if they all t hought the same way, there would be no controversy.

Try to actually think for once instead of just spouting cheap right-wing memes.

Ironically, it started in the latter 20th century with the Marxist Jews in academia (and later the U.S. media/entertainment industry) when it was mainly about the evil, Europeans conquering Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

So much anti-white propaganda that has only become more blatant in recent years.

But it's come to bite them in the ass post-October 7 when the attention has shifted to the Middle East, specifically the Israel/Palestine conflict and now Israel/Jews are viewed by the radical Left as white and the conquerors.

It's like Frankenstein's monster destroying its creator.

R139 A good summary of things.

I wonder if any of these protesters have considered the fact that they themselves are considered to be colonizers by some Indigenous people? Native Americans (obviously) and Blacks descended from slaves are the only two groups excluded from the designation.

They may very well read a Land Acknowledgement at the beginning of their protests, R145. Just don't expect them to give their family land back to indigenous peoples when they inherit it.

Students who camped in tents to protest the war in Gaza, including the daughter of Representative Ilhan Omar, may be barred from finishing the semester.

"Pro-Hamas Columbia students chant shocking slogans at @Columbia:

My kid's ass would be dragged out of college and away from these people if I caught them in this crowd:

"More absolute insanity out of @Columbia tonight. "Al-Qassam you make us proud! Take another soldier out!" "We say justice, you say how? Burn Tel Aviv to the ground!" "Hamas we love you. We support your rockets too!" "Red, black, green, and white, we support Hamas’ fight!" "It is right to rebel, Al-Qassam, give them hell!" "It is right to rebel, Hamas give them hell!"

Another normal night at Columbia of rioting and Jew hatred

Fucking insanity

In response to “horrific” scenes of antisemitic harassment at and around campus, the Orthodox Rabbi at Columbia/Barnard sent a WhatsApp message to more than 290+ Jewish students this morning recommending that they go home until it’s safe again for them on campus:

This generation is really showing that conservatives have always been right with their “give a mouse a cookie” theory about Liberals. History will look back upon everything what’s happening now, when the pendulum swings and we go back to more conservative times in America, As an example of why we’re gonna have to maintain a hardline on all stances that are conservative.

R168 this has been going on for far longer than most people realize. The ancestors of todays Hamas and Hezbollah leaders supported the Third Reich, some even went to Nazi Germany and one had meetings with Hitler himself to try to advance the Palestinian cause and encourage Hitler's Final Solution (The Holocaust).

The connections between the pro Palestine/ Hamas protestors and the neo-Nazi far right run deep and far

We live in dark times. I fear for my Jewish friends

[quote] Fucking insanity

Not insanity at all. We'd be better off if it was. It's the logical culmination of two generations allowing the unrestrained indoctrination of American academia.

Stop with the argument that this crap proves we need to shift to the right. Right or left at the extremes end up at the same place—attack the Jews.

I think it’s interesting that it is a Muslim university president who is taking the most aggressive stand. Is it because she sees through the smoke and mirrors and understands that, at its root, the Palestinian “cause” as expressed by Hamas sympathizers is genocide against the Jews?

No matter their personal backgrounds, university presidents tend to be pragmatists, not ideologues, r183.

When dumb blonde bitches start cosplaying as Muslim terrorists...

And R183 their most important job is to raise money. Big donors were probably putting pressure on her to take action.

It doesn't sound like enough action was taken, going by the riot like atmosphere last night.

The hot summer nights during the Democratic Convention are going to be fun...

r188 = the ghost of Richard J. Daley

Oh please R183, what she sees is her job going up in smoke while she’s excoriated in front of an international audience in Congress by that cunt Elise Stefanik. Let’s be really clear.

R183 I’m sure that muzziqunt would escort your gay ass to the top of a building once she’s in the majority

Oh, god, not this shit again. Fuck off, Zionist pig.

[quote] We live in dark times. I fear for my Jewish friends

No, you don’t.

It’s hilarious watching the Likud idiots going down in flames.

Trash wasting their tuition money.

"The national organization of "Students for Justice in Palestine" just announced that they are replicating Columbia University's "Gaza Solidarity Encampment" across the country and will start occupying campus grounds.

Official statement:

"Universities have chosen profit and reputation over the lives of the people of Palestine and our will as students.

The supposed power of our administrators is nothing compared to the strength of the united students, staff, and faculty committed to realizing justice and upholding Palestinian liberation on campus.

In the footsteps of our comrades at Rutgers-New Brunswick SJP, Tufts SJP, and Columbia SJP, we will seize our universities and force the administration to divest, for the people of Gaza!""

R192 Read and learn

These students need to start being expelled, and in other cases, deported.

[quote] These students need to start being expelled, and in other cases, deported.

Who is going to expel them ? The universities manufactured them and are on their side..

Who is going to deport them? Joe needs the votes of their 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒓𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒔.

Love Moskowitz.

"I will be coming to Columbia University to walk with the Jewish students. If the University won’t protect them, Congress will!"

A reminder: what starts with Jews doesn't finish with Jews.

Once a Jew free zone is established do you really think these people will welcome gay men and lesbians?

When I was on a full tuition scholarship to the Ivy League back in the 1980s the student activism flash point was "Divesting from South Africa." There were occupations, sit ins, etc. And students were arrested. And some suspended - it depended on their actions. It was a good cause. However I spent my progressive political energy on quiet activities and any contact with University admin was a "please and thank you" obsequiousness. Because that's how I managed to get that tuition scholarship, which was rare in those days, especially for a white boy.

Gauche Caviar is an old game.

R200-

A mob of Yale students shout "VIVA VIVA PALESTINA" as they tear down an American flag on campus, cheering when it hits the floor.

(Oh, and university cops do nothing in response. Nor does the administration)

My friend on the Columbia faculty says there is a rebellion underway among the faculty and Shafik will not survive.

It’s not so much the protestors’ cause, but there is a “sacred” policy that NYPD should not set foot on the campus unless there is violence. Of course this dates from the anti-war protests of the 60s and 70s. Add a general “freedom of speech” bias, and the faculty is roiled.

I told him I think it’s rather silly to let memories of the 1960s affect policy today. The police were entirely peaceful and the encampment was against the rules, but none of that matters. She’s toast.

Columbia faculty must live in a bubble if they think the scenes coming out of that school look peaceful or non-violent. When you have Democratic congressmen coming to campus because Jews are not physically safe.

Claudine Gay had the support of faculty and we saw how that turned out.

Unsurprising appearance of the woman(they/them?) in the photo at OP. It seems that self-righteous, bitter dykes make up a significant faction of the "from the river, to the sea" cult.

[quote] All nations were created by violence, land theft and dispossession

Ah ok, so in that case you are totally behind the Nazi conquests and approve the Holocaust.

Even Carl Lewis couldn't make that leap, R206.

Of course if she is forced to step down, the Palestinians will claim a great victory, so it will all work out very well for them.

[quote] Ah ok, so in that case you are totally behind the Nazi conquests and approve the Holocaust.

Logic is not your strong suit, huh?

If you oppose the mass murder and land theft so ardently loved and endorsed by certain people in the power structure, and have the nerve to speak out against it…

… be prepared to be called a bigot (the ultimate irony), arrested, fired from your job, prevented from completing an education you’re paying for, and basically unpersoned.

You have to love this, or you’re a bad person!

The truth hurts, don’t it r209? Notice that you didn’t refute what I said because you can’t. Ad hominem is the constant friend of the Zionist, because Zionism is inherently evil, an indefensible cult.

Nobody is interested in your bullshit anymore, R211. We all see, the world sees, the pro-terrorism, anti-Western, pro-Islamist and antisemitic mask fall off. Now go glue yourself to a bridge.

Exactly R200. The Jews are the canaries in the coal mine. When society starts turning on them, WE’RE NEXT.

It truly shocks me that stupid young gays don’t understand this. The Holocaust is taught in every American school. And part of the Holocaust was the murdering of gays and lesbians in their own special fucking camps. How does every gay not know this? I guess they’ll fucking learn when the fascists start dragging the theys and its and nonbinaries into the gas chambers.

I hate everyone under forty.

Just start expelling them.

R196, not a credible source. All historians have debunked this. Go cry in a corner.

Starting with this cunt, R214

[quote] The Jews are the canaries in the coal mine. When society starts turning on them, WE’RE NEXT.

Nice try, Bari.

It’s hilarious to see the Zionist mask fall off. The world is completely against them now. Pretty soon the welfare checks are going to stop and they’re shitting themselves over it. Millennials and Gen Z are getting into power. It’s all going to be over for Bibi and his cohorts in the next decade. Couldn’t have happened to a bigger bunch of corrupt pricks.

Epstein was working for Israel, btw.

Yes, R219- because Americans surely want keffiyeh and hijab wearing terrorists running the place. Normal Americans are appalled.

One group here wants to call everyone who disagrees with them pro-genocide, and another group wants to call everyone who disagrees with them pro-terrorism. Until more nuance is allowed, progress in this matter will get nowhere.

You're not going to be able to outscream hysterical buzzwords in order to get your own way. That's just not how the world works.

There's a reason a lot of these students have adopted Palestinian terrorist style:

Why America’s Richest Universities Are Protecting Hate-Filled Foreign Students

[quote] And part of the Holocaust was the murdering of gays and lesbians in their own special fucking camps. How does every gay not know this?

They do R213. And that’s why a lot of gay people support the Palestinians and are critical of what the Israeli state is carrying out in Palestine. I think we’ve reached 15,000 murdered children at this point. That’s indefensible to anyone that’s not morally bankrupt.

Also, with any quick glance at statistics related to how different groups of people feel about the situation in Palestine, it’s clear that being pro Israel is a white, older, conservative, straight man position. Gays are self aware enough to know that siding with those sorts is not the best POA. That’s why it’s very clear that these threads are full to the fucking brim of trolls. And you can correlate that with some individual comments here. We have “DEI” “commie” “the Jews brought this on themselves” etc etc it’s so transparent lol. I wish you’d all go back to Reddit where you belong.

R222 linked to the New York Post, of course. They have printed so much hateful garbage over the years, so it's really funny to see them attacking others for their beliefs

BTW, most people making over $100,000 a year voted for Trump

[quote]Also, with any quick glance at statistics related to how different groups of people feel about the situation in Palestine, it’s clear that being pro Israel is a white, older, conservative, straight man position.

What stats are those? Link?

R224 - are you illiterate or does Tablet and the NY Post read the same in your world?

R224 you can find an excuse for everything, can't you?

This won't end in tears. The encampment is back up:

Last night, Columbia—which has a famous school of journalism—sent one of its public safety officers to shut down WKCR, the school’s radio station. The station was reporting on the protests. Whoever had ordered the shutdown had to back off.

[quote] It’s hilarious to see the Zionist mask fall off. The world is completely against them now. Pretty soon the welfare checks are going to stop and they’re shitting themselves over it.

Did you not notice the United States, France, the UK and Jordan just protected Israel against Iran?

Is that how the entire world demonstrates that it is completely against Israel?

Did you not notice that the US Congress just approve billions in aid for Israel yesterday?

Kind of makes your statement “Pretty soon the welfare checks are going to stop and they’re shitting themselves over it” ring kind of hollow.

Look, if you’re going to come in here to post Hamas propaganda, at least make some effort to keep up with reality. Otherwise you just look kind of pathetic.

[quote] Last night, Columbia—which has a famous school of journalism—sent one of its public safety officers to shut down WKCR, the school’s radio station. The station was reporting on the protests. Whoever had ordered the shutdown had to back off

That’s not what WKCR’s own tweets say.

They say there was an evacuation of the building ordered, but an exception was made for the radio station. Jesus, some people have absolutely no regard for the truth.

Oh, yes. Absolutely everyone is now pro-Hamas!

"White House statement on anti-Israel protests at Columbia University: “While every American has the right to peaceful protect, calls for violence and physical intimidation targeting Jewish students and the Jewish community are blatantly Antisemitic, unconscionable, and dangerous – they have absolutely no place on any college campus, or anywhere in the United States of America. And echoing the rhetoric of terrorist organizations, especially in the wake of the worst massacre committed against the Jewish people since the Holocaust, is despicable. We condemn these statements in the strongest terms.”

-Andrew Bates, White House Deputy Press Secretary"

But but --- being pro-Israel is only something old white conservative men believe!

R225 this is from 2022 so doesn’t take recent events into account but it shows a strong divide like I mentioned earlier.

There’s an AP article from February of this year that reflects the same divide. Like I said, trolls abound here.

R231, we can, in fact, all read the tweets. The radio station was permitted to stay after being forced to remind the administration that it was a press organization.

Everyone is on our side, fam. It's all over TikTok!

Nice try, R234 - but what you posted isn't at all what the stats say, which is that being pro-Israel is for white, old, conservative men. Looks like the troll is you.

[quote] But but --- being pro-Israel is only something old white conservative men believe!

I didn’t say that dickhead, but the profile of your average Israel supporter is much more likely to be older, white, conservative and straight. Therefore they’re also much more likely to be anti gay, racist, misogynistic annd generally a more bigoted group etc. interestingly they’re also far more likely to be anti-Semitic, but I guess in this circumstance their inherent nationalism and a strong paranoia of Muslims trumps that 😵‍💫

R237 huh? that’s exactly what I said.

“it’s clear that being pro Israel is a white, older, conservative, straight man position.”

And that’s backed up by the link I listed, and you’re agreeing with it lol. Did you misread or something?

And this is why the Queers of Palestine coalition is totally incoherent. Explain to me how the terrorist cosplaying, mostly Muslim led, braying mobs at Columbia, screaming about how much they love Hamas, Iran and Hezbollah (and how much they hate Jews and think they 'should go back to Poland') are going to be great for gay people.

[quote]Therefore they’re also much more likely to be anti gay, racist, misogynistic annd generally a more bigoted group etc. interestingly they’re also far more likely to be anti-Semitic, but I guess in this circumstance their inherent nationalism and a strong paranoia of Muslims trumps that

Jews are well aware that both the far right and the far left hate Jews. I have just a strong paranoia of the Proud Boys and the 3%ers as I do of the far left , the crazy Columbia students and those in bed with fundie Muslims. It just so happens the White House today had to issue a statement about Jew hatred coming from the supposed 'pro-Palestine' protesters, who are increasingly showing themselves to be nothing more than antisemitic terrorist supporters.

Yes lmao bc the White House is so objective when it comes to this topic. Remind me who they’re providing weapons to?

You are wrong about everything R223. Go away.

There are some seriously deranged Hamas and Hitler supporters on this thread. Are there really Palestine bots here now, or are they just extensions of the Russian bots that come here?

Does anyone really believe these protesters are pro-hamas or pro-terrorism? It sounds like something Jim Jordan would shout at a congressional hearing.

They are 100% pro Hamas and Hitler. Sorry to burst your bubble R247. Listen to what they’re saying. They’re telling you what they will do, and that is murder Jews.

Why are people not getting this? It’s extraordinary. I’m really not going to argue with you pro Hitler/Hamas freaks. You’re all getting blocked.

Thanks for the link, R244. I see what’s happening. It’s ridiculous that it’s happening on DL. This is not the audience for it. But whatever. Blocking is easy.

R251 Ilhan Omar's own daughter is one of those people saying that stuff. You really think she's a paid Russian stooge? Not everything is a Russian plot devised to make Biden look bad.

Muslims always start off playing victim, then when they take power they start victimizing everyone else.

Gen Z is mentally unstable. Their brains are a mashup of memes, they have no clue what they’re thinking.

"It's fringe, stop pretending it's significant."

"Well, what did you expect? I may not like it but it's understandable."

Oh great, Cynthia Nixon weighs in to support Hamas.

Once schools are out in May, these folks will turn their attention, in June, to shutting down Pride parades and festivals to “make a point.” There have already been plenty of rumblings. They even have a catchy phrase: No Pride In Genocide. And it, of course, makes total sense, because members of the LGBTQ community have such great influence over Israeli foreign policy. 🙄

r259, you're now blaming them for things they've not even done. You're just speculating they're going to do it.

What's the over/under Jews/Israelis will be allowed to march in Pride without harassment?

R260 is obviously young and/or dumb, but probably on hormones and not full of cum.

At a certain point in life, it becomes pretty easy to predict human behavior after you’ve seen it all. These terrorist lovers will absolutely make Pride a living hell this year, as if we didn’t have enough problems with the T taking over, the extreme perverts wanting to ScatFist in the streets, Drag addict Mommies bringing the littles to watch the FistKweens, and the Far Right protesting “groomers”, now we have to worry about Pro-Palestine racists who love Hamas.

They've been blocking roads, bridges, and airports and tormenting Jewish people on campuses and in the streets while telling them to leave America and chanting: "DEATH TO AMERICA". They are trash. FUCK THEM.

Pro-Palestine Cunts should leave for Gaza if they hate America so bad. America is the only place on earth that they could pull all their bullshit.

[quote] You're just speculating they're going to do it.

Not really speculating, R260. They’ve already confronted Pride groups around the country and tried to get them to issue statements in support of Palestine by demanding a cease-fire. R262, is correct: it’s not difficult to predict what is coming next. This is a cause célèbre with these folks and they’re going to move onto the next best opportunities available to get attention. They shut down Chicago airports and the Golden Gate Bridge last week. They’re not going to pass up an opportunity to cause similar mischief throughout the US by disrupting events that garner a great deal of attention.

[quote] What's the over/under Jews/Israelis will be allowed to march in Pride without harassment?

Precisely.

Much like BLM faded into memory and ancient obscurity, it’s going to be funny to watch these cunts move onto the next “cause” in about 6-12 months and drop this shit like a hot potato. Even funnier will be when they’re graduated and employed by a Jewish boss who catches wind of these fun, youthful activities. This cunts don’t even know what they’re fighting for, they’re just falling in line.

Are these Columbia students are mush minded retards?

^Get a load of the Head Bitch in Charge.

Talk to the phalanx, honey. I ain’t listening to you.

Privileged white liberal womyn will follow a POC into any belief. Just don’t ask them to have their CEO daddies to give up their job or the mansion they go home to on holidays.

Women are just not evolved and are causing a lot of the current messes. Men seem to have a better grasp on the past and future consequences. Modern Women are experimenting with ideologies that could end the world as we know it.

Show me an actual historian that has debunked this, not a Hamas propagandist or other tool of the Iranian regime (or Russian bot for that matter)

I can't seem to find any evidence of these protestors supporting Hamas. Yet so many posters in this thread say they are Hamas supporters and terrorist supporters.

Can someone post links to establish this please?

[quote]it’s going to be funny to watch these cunts move onto the next “cause” in about 6-12 months and drop this shit like a hot potato.

Or sooner if it puts the kid's inheritance at risk, like that tombstone-toothed Jo Malone heir.

No I am not joking. Where do these people say they support Hamas and terrorism R273?

Do you have links? Please post them so we can all see them.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams released a statement Sunday saying in part,

"I am horrified and disgusted with the antisemitism being spewed at and around the Columbia University campus - like the example of a young woman holding a sign with an arrow pointing to Jewish students stating 'Al-Qasam's Next Targets,' or another where a woman is literally yelling 'We are Hamas,' or another where groups of students are chanting 'We don't want no Zionists here' - and I condemn this hate speech in the strongest of terms.

Supporting a terrorist organization that aims to kill Jews is sickening and despicable."

How can they be so short-sighted to look never further than this week or next week, to have no impossible dream?

Remember, Nixon famously put false protesters in the mix to get the violence going🔥

That's absolutely disgusting R275. Thanks for posting that. If what you've posted can be substantiated then yes those people are definitely in direct support of the actual Hamas terrorist group - not the Palestinian civilians - there's a big difference between the two. But where's the link or images of the sign to prove what you're claiming?

I’m not r275, and apologized for a non-neutral source, but there is video of the sign and protestor online., including at this link.

For the second time, R271, see R216.

This organizers of the protest have put out a statement disavowing the behavior of those in their midst showing such blatant hostility, but when students are told to stay home rather than attend class – as all Columbia students have been told today – you know there are more than just a few bad actors in the protesting group.

Thanks R279. That's repulsive. To be bluntly honest - I read some of the posts in this thread and thought - they're conflating protestors not wanting further death and destruction of Palestinian civilians as support for Hamas - which is most definitely isn't. That's why I asked where the direct support was.

But a lot of what's being said in this thread is actually real. How foul. They should be rounded up, exposed online on a permanent page of Columbia's website and then expelled from the school. I can't imagine what kind of person you would have to be to wish death on a group of people. That's definitely anti-Semitism - a word which gets thrown around too often at the moment.

I can 100% understand peaceful protest in support of a ceasefire to halt the carnage of the Palestinian people being delivered in Gaza by the IDF/Israeli government - but not anti-Semitism and hatred for a group of people. I will never understand that. Disgusting.

R280 - these are my first posts in the thread at R271 onwards and nobody has mentioned R216 a first time. Anyway - even if it's just a handful of the Columbia students - the other protestors in the crowd should have dealt with them. It now reflects on all of them. I would have dealt with/challenged those people had I been there in the crowd.

Classes are going virtual on the campus until things are under control. What is happening at an Ivy League in New York City is absolutely outrageous. Every single one of these Hamas Hitler lovers needs to be expelled and deported and the President needs to be fired. The city needs to get involved and shut down these absurd and dangerous agitators. Enough.

I assume the terms of most colleges and universities in the US will be over within a month.

It will be interesting to see how everything plays out.

What will Fox News do? Troll summer school?

[quote]I can 100% understand peaceful protest in support of a ceasefire to halt the carnage of the Palestinian people being delivered in Gaza by the IDF/Israeli government - but not anti-Semitism and hatred for a group of people. I will never understand that. Disgusting.

You'd think they would be angry at Hamas for starting a war, for not agreeing to a ceasefire, for violating the ceasefire that existed before October 7th, for the horrific attack itself, which included mass murder, rapes, setting people on fire, torture...and for not releasing all the hostages, for embedding themselves into the civilian population, and for continuing to fire missiles into Israel. Their anger seems aimed only at the victims of the attack.

Ilhan Omar's dumb daughter complains about being 'homeless and without food' after being suspended. Yeah, that's what happens when your dorm and dining hall access is revoked.

Apparently a lot of these people don’t believe that rapes happened, R285, despite victim reports, physical evidence and actual video. The magical thinking behind these Hamas lovers is astonishing.

The rapes can’t have happened because Islam forbids them.

The perpetrators of the Oct. 7 attack are considered heroes. Heroes don’t commit rape, just wanton murder and torture. Have you no sense of God’s will?

Pride will be a shit show this year, I am staying away.

Why are they covering their faces and wearing masks? How cowardly. Have the courage of your convictions. Be willing to suffer the consequences. Pathetic little losers.

Columbia deserves all,this grief plus more. The end result of one cowardly administration after another.

It’s not lost on me that this narrative started decades ago with ultra woke Jewish professors and admin, who spewed anti-white colonizer smear bullshit, and now horseshoe theory is in action and the monsters they created are coming back to eat them.

Anti Zionism is much older than critical race theory. But it is coming from the same stew. It also seems to be female led because white rich girls can be VICTIMS too,

These little cults are so stupid and annoying, They go on and on and start screeching “genocide” the moment that they are questioned on anything. Israel has to keep Palestine at bay because if they didn’t, Palestine would immediately call for extermination of all Jews and the complete destruction of Israel. This is just woke virtue signaling, and nothing else. This is a bunch of bored privileged white liberal cunts who want to cosplay as 60s revolutionaries.

A Jewish Yale University student journalist reporting on an anti-Israeli protest at the Ivy League school Saturday night was stabbed in the eye with a Palestinian flag, while her assailant has gone unpunished.

Sahar Tartak, editor-in-chief of the Yale Free Press, was covering the protest — which saw hundreds of students camping on the campus in support of Palestinians — when she was suddenly surrounded by demonstrators.

Tartak said she and a friend were singled out for wearing Hasidic Jewish attire as the crowd formed a blockade around them to interfere with their filming.

Yes, R303, and they look exactly the same.

^^^Many of them.

R308 wow and liberals will say it’s not a big deal. They’re obsessed with skin color and only siding with the Palestinians because they’re shade or two browner than Israelis. That is all that it’s about.

Is anyone else just completely amazed with how this very obvious spin job has been pulled off by the Arab Muslim PR world to get woke mostly white liberal women to be the mouthpiece for them on social media and in America? It’s really quite impressive when you think about it. It might be a better troll job than Russia did back in 2016.

That’s what I was thinking too R303.

Ilhan's daughter would really benefit by wearing a niqab, and so would all of us if she did.

The regime of the Islamic Republic has on multiple occasions, stated clearly that their goal is to destroy the modern society and build a global Islamic state.”

Beheshti further states that the rallies in Western countries are organized “directly in line with the mission of the Islamic Republic” and ordered by the IRGC.

In an interview with Iran International earlier Monday, Beheshti emphasized that the IRGC uses brainwashing tactics targeting youth in Western countries to cause chaos with such rallies being an example of these tactics.

Less than a month after the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas, Iran’s ruler Ali Khamenei called for the blockade of oil and food exports to Israel and urged Muslim states to “not cooperate economically with the Zionist regime.”

The April 15 march organizers remain mostly anonymous. However, the video is heavily promoted by far-left groups, including Antifa, on social media. Uploaded to YouTube four days ago by A15 Economic Blockade, it directs viewers to their website, featuring a solidarity agreement among members to resist media, political, police, and “Zionist pressures”. The site emphasizes avoiding police communication or coordination regarding actions or fellow organizers.

It is quite easy to believe that in supporting these protests you are only supporting the moderate aspects of what it means to be “Pro-Palestinian.” You may choose to believe you are only supporting a call for a shift in Israeli tactics, or a cease fire that will endure.

But the heart of the “Pro-Palestinian” position to the Palestinians themselves is not about finding ways to live in peace with the Jews. It is about removing the Jews from Israel “by any means necessary.”

That is the Palestinian cause and anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.

No “Palestinian” leader has ever taken a concrete step toward peaceful coexistence with Israel because if they did they would be killed.

While there are many Palestinian Arabs who would welcome peaceful co-existence and accommodation, they are not represented by the Palestinian movement. The Palestinian movement is not about finding a road to peace. It is about eliminating Israel

To them, this is a zero sum game.

But yes—they are VERY skilled at propaganda and very disciplined at Columbia where the students on campus provide the “soft message” and their colleagues outside the gates use rhetoric that would not be allowed on campus.

The post above r308 indicates that some of the copycat demonstrations popping up lack that discipline.

Many of the protesters are well-intentioned. Others are not. The labeling of the Israelis as “colonizers” gives cover to the malign agenda. When pressed on “what should happen to the Jews?” The response is often “they should go back to where they came from” as if that were a real option. Of course it is not a real option, but it leaves unspoken the actual answer.

Haven't we seen these movements before? Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter. All funded by the same people.

No. These protests are funded by Arabs.

Conservatives eating Russian propaganda & Liberals eating Iranian propaganda like Skittles. Meanwhile Russia and Iran are allied while the West is paralyzed yelling at each other. Smart chess move opening a front in Palestine.

Straight out of page 91 of the 'Foundations of Geopolitics':

"Another feature of neo-Eurasianism is the choice of Islamic countries (especially mainland Iran) as an important strategic ally. The idea of a continental RussianIslamic alliance underlies the anti-Atlantic strategy on the southwestern coast of the Eurasian continent. At the doctrinal level, this alliance is based on the traditional character of the Russian and Islamic civilizations, which unites them in opposition to the anti-traditional, secular-pragmatic West."

Arabs don't fund protests. They buy expensive hotel rooms and condos in London, New York, etc and party like rich Americans.

Saudis are responsible for funding indoctrination in places like Indonesia, r338

It's kind of shocking how many leftists I know who were fervently anti-Iran when the hijab protests were going on - and Iran's government was torturing, raping, and executing hundreds of its own citizens who wanted more equality - but have suddenly become pro-Iran and view the Ayatollah as a good guy voice of reason now that he's the guy "standing up to Israel".

Israel is like a trigger word for some people.. After years of demonization, merely mentioning Israel ignites a powerful hatred in some people, which overcomes any other emotion they may have. Unfortunately, this is how people operate, and various actors exploit and build upon this sentiment.

There is just something about Israel in particular that boils these people's brains. Now if only we could figure out what particular thing is unique to just Israel...

R340 most people have no backbone or brain. It’s been unbelievable to watch how these Yassss Kween Woke Cunts fell inline with this Palestinian agenda. It was overnight. They all fell like dominoes.

Ok, r336, whom do you imagine is funding the pro-Arab protests?

There is a web of Islamic charities and advocacy groups that are behind the movement

Do you think they have bake sales?

[quote]When pressed on “what should happen to the Jews?” The response is often “they should go back to where they came from” as if that were a real option. Of course it is not a real option, but it leaves unspoken the actual answer.

Well, first of all the majority of Israeli Jews are from the Middle East so “back to where they came from” makes no sense. The rest are the diaspora, but not the majority. Besides of those that came from Europe, their off-spring were born in Israel. 20% of the Israeli population are Arab Muslims who have the same rights as Jewish citizens and have positions in government. There is a percentage of Christians, but I don’t know what it is.

Palestinians object to a Jewish state because of their religious ideology which is intolerant of Jews and other religions. At one time the Middle East was quite culturally diverse with many ethnicities. It was the colonization by the Arabs that wiped that out. Israelis do not need permission to live in Israel. It is literally their homeland and the place of their ethno-genesis. It is the location of their holiest sites, one which Palestinians built a mosque on top of as a ‘fuck you’ to the Jews.

Also, at the time the UN officially “gave” Israel to the Jews, was after the British washed their hands of the region for which they had the mandate after WWI. Naturally, the Palestinians rejected all proposed land division by the UN but too fucking bad. The land of an Israel belongs to the people who are living there.

R343 They aren't "pro-Arab" protests. People are conflating Arabs with the Islamic Republic. Many of the Gulf countries (i.e. the Arabs) are seeking (or were, before Iran/Hamas interfered) seeking normalization with Israel.

[quote] most people have no backbone or brain. It’s been unbelievable to watch how these Yassss Kween Woke Cunts fell inline with this Palestinian agenda. It was overnight. They all fell like dominoes.

It’s not at all surprising to me. There is a lot of antisemitism in the progressive movement. In addition, Israelis are characterized as white colonizers in the privileged/oppressed framework.

The Palestinians are Arabs. Pro-Palestinian is pro-Arab.

R347 That is technically true, but it's not Arab doctrine they're fighting in the name of/for, it's Islamic doctrine.

There is nothing more “Arab” than Israeli belongs exclusively to the Arabs, which is the core of their cause.

Mudhut people should have a country in Africa where they can return to their mudhuts. I’m sure it will be very peaceful. A complete utopia.

The craziest thing are the liberal Jews who get behind this shit because they’re scared of being canceled.

R262 summed things up nicely.

[quote] The craziest thing are the liberal Jews who get behind this shit because they’re scared of being canceled.

That may motivate some of them. Some are opposed to the existence of Israel. Others may just disagree with Israeli policies and have deluded themselves into thinking they should join the cause just as they might join an anti-Netanyahu march in Israel. They tell themselves they have some common cause with those who fully endorse what Hamas stands for, and should protest just for the part they agree with. I think that’s delusional.

R351 It's not the first time in history it's happened and it won't be the last. I considered myself a "Progressive" Jew my whole life until Oct. 7th happened and was then told I couldn't call myself a progressive anymore unless I took a firm stance against Israel. So I said, fuck it, I guess that means I'm a Moderate Democrat now. I spent most of my life having to be the "right" kind of progressive Jew (which mostly meant never calling myself a Zionist) just because I was more aligned with the economic principles of Democratic Socialism than Neoliberalism. I draw the line at colluding with terrorist organizations and screeching "GO BACK TO POLAND!" at other Jews.

I watched it happened live on TikTok R342. Out of nowhere came this barrage of anti Israel propaganda, and then dozens of creators I followed were suddenly spouting Palestinian talking points. It took about two weeks to completely change my algorithm, and despite reporting and disliking all of it, I couldn’t escape it. It was insane. I had been on the app since the beginning of the pandemic, about two years, and knew things could turn quickly, but I was generally politically aligned with those I watched. This felt like it came out of nowhere, and these 25 year olds suddenly knew alllll the history of the Middle East and it was all the Jews fault. People I watched who had senses of humor and were reasonable and intelligent were suddenly foaming at the mouth about Israel. It was like watching zombies infect each other in real time. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

After about a month of arguing and fighting in the comments, I gave up and deleted the app. It really turned me off of Gen Z and younger millennials (whom I had gained some real hope from while I was on the app) and TikTok.

TikTok absolutely needs to be banned, but not for the reason Congress is banning it. It needs to be banned because it is one of the sharpest and fastest tools of indoctrination I’ve ever seen, short of mind control. It’s extremely dangerous, and we’re now watching the violent physical demonstration of TikTok’s indoctrination play out at college campuses.

I’m exactly where you’re at R354.

Similar experience. I have always called myself a progressive. That’s what those surveys designed to assess your political tribe always told me I was on the basis of my economic and social policy preferences . But I was shocked by the progressive reaction to Oct 7. I had not realized the extent to which leftist analysis had been captured by the critical race theory paradigm of privilege/oppression and the demands that anyone identifying as oppressed must stand with anyone else claiming to be oppressed.

Of course, Jews represent a challenge to the paradigm in that we have clearly been historically oppressed, but we have generally succeeded in spite of it. That upsets the whole notion that lack of success is the result of oppression. To deal with the disconnect, Jews are classified as “privileged” despite history, and are therefore the oppressors in their conflict with the Arabs which cannot be looked at in any framework other than the framework advanced by the Palestinians, because you don’t have to listen to oppressors, etc etc.

I’m out.

I think many Jews are reassessing their ties to “progressives” and I don’t know what it will mean in the long run, but I don’t think it will be good for the progressives.

Birds of a feather

The zombie chants are something else.

[quote]Somebody is funding these groups. Those tents went up pretty fast, and they aren't cheap.

From January: "Former US House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi said Sunday that she thinks some protests in the United States demanding a ceasefire in Gaza could be linked to Russia, and that the FBI should conduct a probe into their funding."

The Russians have certainly done it before.

Where is Eric Adams? Where is Columbia’s president? Why is nothing being done to remove these psychos?

R258. And just like that, I would like an explanation of how this protest is "non-violent" when it's clearly violating the rights of Jews and non-Jews to work and learn at the school. Does Miranda feel her collaboration and sympathy with the oppressors gives her some kind of special privilege?

It's one thing to betray your community, but to take the wellbeing of activists over the wellbeing of your own kids takes a special kind of psychosis.

Cynthia Nixon had best keep her trap shut or she’ll be out of two HBO shows before she knows it. I’m surprised that HBO PR hasn’t told her to shut the fuck up before she finds herself recast.

She sees herself as a Kapo?

R355 I could see us having a whole thread, just around your comment. You are absolutely 100% spot on. So what happens when that same mind control machine is used by let’s say some BLM activist who starts say… activating their followers to go out and get rid of the cracker ytpipo and it spreads like wildfire, sort of like the Kill the Boer thing. Then what’s the government gonna say about why they didn’t ban TikTok?

Liberal Progressive white & POC women are ready to hand over everything that Americans have built and fought for, for nearly 250 years, to the Muslims. The lesson from America will be what happens when you hand over the reins to the young and feminine. They’re traitors. Women are like children and they need discipline and structure or they spiral out of control. They’re so subconsciously ready to relinquish control because white men have lost the ability to influence them, that they’re ready to put on burkas and join a concubine.

Liberal Womyn at a girls brunch in 10 years except it’s just you and your husband because you’re not allowed to see your girlfriends

So many of these campus girls look like they are bordering menopause already, it's hard to imagine them bearing a child or successfully raising one. Submitting to rape culture since they despise sex so much at least allows them to express their genes.

Strangely predictive SNL skit from 2015

Columbia’s cunt president called the 9/11 attacks a form of protest just two month after thousands of Americans were killed.

r51 how does someone even know if you are or are not Jewish. Most jewish people just look like normal white folks. Unless they are displaying their religion, I'm sure they will be fine.

A lot are visibly Jewish, R373. What should they do?

One of the dumbest posts on this thread.

BREAKING! Columbia University students call for Tel Aviv, a city of 475,000 Jews, Muslims and Christian’s, to be ‘burned to the ground.’

“Ya Qassam [Hamas] make us proud, take another soldier out.”

“Burn Tel Aviv to the ground.”

They’ll be fine as long as they can hide the fact that they are Jews.

Sound familiar?

R378–I’m pretty sure they didn't say that. Non-students outside the gates did.

The Columbia students are careful not to say anything that can get them in trouble or alienate their “allies.”

People like R373 have views that are dangerous.

R380 what now?!

This is a late night speech from Tai at Columbia's Gaza Solidarity Encampment.

"Let it be known that it was the Al-Aqsa Flood that put the Global Intifada back on the table again. And it is the sacrificial spirit of the Palestinian Freedom Fighters that will guide every struggle on every corner of the earth to victory."

"Remember that Militancy breeds Resistance. Thousands upon thousands of students around the world have been moved to rebel because of your militancy."

R380 - how about policing who can be on 'their' made up solidarity shanty town lawn - "We have ZIONISTS who have entered the encampment.'

Of course one of the little keffiyeh wearing shitheads at Yale, cheering the vandalism of the American flag, is a rich white kid. His father, Matthew Kinservik, is a professor of English and Vice Provost for faculty affairs at the University of Delaware.

Never fails, these Ivy League protesters are spoiled, overprivileged brats.

[quote] His father, Matthew Kinservik, is a professor of English and Vice Provost for faculty affairs at the University of Delaware.

Unsurprising. The faculties of American academia have been building up to this for decades.

r385 Matthew Kinservik should be expelled for that hair alone.

If Thomas Kinservik loves Palestinians so much he should visit Gaza, although the reception he'd get would not be what he would be expecting. There are few things horny Arab men love more than tapping a blond white boy's ass.

[quote]Many protesters argue that, from the river to the sea, the settler-colonialist state must simply disappear.

Clashes and battles over tents - MASS ARRESTS at the NYU, 'Liberated Zone' encampment tents REMOVED as massive amount of police continues to clear out the protesters.

Thank God the police are moving in, though most of the disrupters will no doubt be invited back. The most violent and hateful of them need to be changed with serious hate crimes. These campuses have become massive enema insertion points that needs a thorough douching.

I hate to be a MARY Jew about this, but I haven't been able to get halfway through any of these videos being posted without feeling like I'm on the verge of a panic attack. Especially that chanting "surround the Zionist" video— I had to shut it off immediately. These poor students must be terrified.

No - it's [bold]YOUR[/bold] America R393/R395. You worked tirelessly to create this. You and all the other Americans who spent decades of their lives sowing division and hatred.

You got what you wished for. Blame yourself and everyone else like you.

The big issue when I was at UT Austin was apartheid- there was a replica shanty on campus for years. No, it didn’t affect us personally, but the university had investments in SA (as did many universities and corporations) that were considered blood money so thousands protested, hundreds were arrested, and UT divested in 1986 (but unfortunately still had dirty money elsewhere a recently as 2011).

[quote]The most violent and hateful of them need to be changed with serious hate crimes.

And what would those "serious hate crimes" be, exactly? Specify them, and show us exactly how they constitute "serious hate crimes" in the state of New York.

Why can't they at least take off the surgical masks if they believe in their cause so much.

R398 Do you want me to change your shit-stained nappy for you too? Try watching the videos for yourself you lazy cunt.

I see: since you cannot answer my question, you've turned to nasty ad hominem attacks because that's all you have. Not surprised.

Thousands of people should march in support of Jewish students being harassed and threatened on these campuses.

I’m in shock right along with you R392. I cannot believe this is happening. And in NY. Expel these kids. Send them back to whatever hellhole they came from.

[quote]I cannot believe this is happening. And in NY.

Is this your first day in NY? Or do you have memory problems?

During Black Lives Matter marches, people went through and smashed up storefronts. Soho was a mess of broken glass. Remember black people followed white people around and made their lives miserable like staring at them in restaurants. That’s when store looting started and why everything is locked up now.

Back when Bloomberg was mayor the Puerto Rican parade one year did a lot of vandalism. The next year, stores along the parade route boarded up their stores. Bloomberg had to threaten store owners to not do that.

I could go on but I won’t. The point is that NYC has never been the liberal wet dream of peace, love and harmony. There’s always been tension between groups.

as I said before chickens have come home. I’m not seeing an end game because the protests will have no effect in the Middle East. As for the US, it hurts the Dems because it splits them. So I guess Trump wins by not being hurt by them.

As a public university—different rules apply, so we shall see. And it is an open campus, so there’s no way to stop those outside agitators…

R392 you are not MARYing at all about this, it is genuinely terrifying. We are all staring evil in the face, just as our grandparents generation did. And the non-Jewish amongst us will be judged by history on how we reacted. I stand with you and those students

What exactly do they think they’re protesting? US policy will not be moved by Hitler Youth camping out in tents at Columbia or NYU. I can guarantee you that Netanyahu doesn’t give a single shit about them either and will. chnage nothing about Israel’s campaign. They are having zero effect in the world. If they continue this dangerous behavior, American opinion will quickly turn on them. I’m not convinced they even KNOW what they’re protesting about. They are fools.

I wish we had the laws Germany has concerning Nazis and Jewish hate. All of these morons would be arrested and facing jail sentences.

If they are protesting for Columbia to divest (endowment wealth) from Israeli corporations - I can agree it's a cogent argument. I don't necessarily agree but it's a legitimate protest by students of their own university.

[quote]I can guarantee you that Netanyahu doesn’t give a single shit about them either and will. chnage nothing about Israel’s campaign.

But it makes them FEEL good!

The protests are about changing US public opinion and policy.

That doesn’t seem at all clear R420. The protests seem to be about vilifying Jews and calling for their deaths and their erasure. I don’t see or hear anything about changing policy, unless you consider the Holocaust part 2 a change in policy.

Remember, these groups were celebrating after October 7th. It's not about BDS or genocide. It's about eliminating Israel, killing Jews/Israelis and removing Zionists from campus, the public square, the world, take your pick.

R420 then the students should be camping and protesting in front of government offices.

What irks me is that the protestors and their supporters dismiss the concerns of Jews who feel threatened with such indifference. Imagine them dismissing the concerns of ANY other marginalized group in this way.

R424 yes it was the same behavior up until the day the pogroms started. There's nothing to see here folks.

Jews are not winners in woke Bingo. I used to think a black trans woman trumped all but now it’s a rich college girl who hates Israel!

Remember when some random Twitter account set off a debate about Anne Frank's "white privilege"?

And then what R418? How would university divestment move the needle on US policy in the Middle East?

But we forgave Anne Frank her white privilege because she would have been a Belieber 🥰.

How about they divest from universities they don't like instead of paying them $90K a year.

R428 It probably wouldn't. All I'm saying is that would be a sensible protest for a student to make about his university. If they want to protest US policy this campus ruckus is attention seeking histrionics and very inappropriate. Why are the university presidents condoning this?

R430 yes there is also that!

Pictures from the protests.

[quote]Why are the university presidents condoning this?

But they're not. Aren;t you paying attention? They're bringing in the police to eject protestors who have broken the campus rules.

Or would you want something more draconian? if so, what exactly, and how would it be legally justified?

Yes, we see how well the rules are enforced at Columbia.

Colleges and universities do not want to expel multiple paying students--they lose important revenue when they do, and will not get it easily replaced.

If 133 students at NYU were suddenly expelled for protesting, the school would have problems continuing operations for years to come.

Expulsion is done only as a last resort and it is almost never done en masse. To do so would hurt the school as badly as the protestors.

Nonsense. These schools have huge wait lists of thousands of students. They can easily make up the revenue. You’re also talking about some of the richest schools in the country with giant endowments. Spare me the “poor me.”

These school have HUGE wait lists and billions of dollars in endowments generating hundreds of millions in income. They can kiss these students GOOD BYE. No problem.

Why is Columbia's president making causes online instead of throwing these fuckers off the campus? She needs to protect all students access to education and protect Jewish students' right to safety and peace of mind. Fuck this shit.

making CLASSES online.

If I were a Columbia student I would SUE the university for the return of tuition money for every week I was denied my full classes over this bullshit.

I'd be pissed as fuck to spend over $90K a year just to take classes online because of bunch of fake communists want to set up a terrorist shanty town.

Yes thousands of Columbia students should join a class action lawsuit for the return of 10K each, for one month's lost access. See if the admin allows such asshattery next year.

[quote] Or would you want something more draconian? if so, what exactly, and how would it be legally justified?

Let’s see how these little pricklets feel about being physically threatened and screamed at by Jews who want to murder them.

This is what they're protesting.

""Victims had reportedly been buried deep in the ground and covered with waste," Ravina Shamdasani told reporters in Geneva.

"Among the deceased were allegedly older people, women and wounded, while others... were found with their hands tied and stripped of their clothes.""

"The UN human rights chief also deplored as "beyond warfare" a series of Israeli strikes on the southern city of Rafah in the past few days, which he said had killed mostly women and children.

The strikes included one on Saturday night, after which a premature baby was delivered from the womb of her pregnant mother, who was killed along with her husband and other daughter."

R455 Well, if Hamas says it's true!

LMAO, the "Jews for Palestine" banner in the background while she trolls for attention is just perfect. The greatest risk she seems to be at is her narcissism will take a beating at being ignored.

[quote]This is what they're protesting.

Tell us about their protests concerning the attack of Oct 7th.

Right..so a handful of IDF soldiers managed to personally strip, tie up, torture/murder, and disrespectfully bury "deep in the ground" more than 300 people (most of them elderly and/or women) at one of the most heavily populated and media documented sites in the Gaza strip and not a single citizen, journalist, or aid worker was able to capture photo or video evidence of this?

Hey...as long as Hamas tells us it happened, 19-year old Jews nearly 6,000 miles away deserve to be terrorized for it!

Provoking murderer Alec Baldwin

What about the headless babies and hundreds of brutal rapes and murders of women and children R455?

Here’s a clue for moronic people that don’t actually have a recognized country: DON’T START A WAR AGAINST A HISTORICALLY OPPRESSED MINORITY THAT HAS A MILITARY CAPABILITY TEN THOUSAND TIMES STRONGER THAN YOURS AND THAT YOU WILL NOT WIN.

So let me get this straight R459, to you,15,000 murdered children does not equal terrorism and it's unassailable by protest, but some Jewish people here (and tbh I haven't even seen real life examples, it's all been online sensationalism) indulging in paranoia getting their feelings hurt is terrorism. lol. Let me also remind you that a large group of those protesting ARE Jewish, so if you do claim to have Jewish people's interests at heart you should also be supporting the student's right to protest.

[quote] Let me also remind you that a large group of those protesting ARE Jewish

You are so full of shit it’s spilling out of your mouth.

R462 First of all, these casualty figures have exclusively been reported by Hamas itself, but even if they are remotely true (which, again, reported by Hamas), they are counting anyone under the age of 18 as a child in order to create the visual of 15,000 innocent toddlers lying in a heap. What's far more likely is that the majority that have been killed are actual Hamas militants, considering the majority of the fighters they shove to the front of the line are teenagers. Hamas has been including the numbers of Hamas terrorists, militants, and operatives in their casualty figures right alongside civilians in order to greatly inflate the numbers.

"Hamas fighters are largely recruited from unemployed minors, aged under 18. About 50,000 Gazan youths under 18 registered for "security" training. Recruitment is likely driven by the highest unemployment in the world, where 45% of Gazans are unemployed. Al-Qassam spokesman Abu Obaida stated in a public speech in 2023 during the Gaza–Israel conflict that 85% of their recruits are orphans desiring revenge whose parents were killed by the Israeli Defense Forces."

R462- beyond the adorable Hamas talking points you just spewed - I'll at least address the issue of students rights to protest. Which DON'T include taking over the campus to the extent in person classes have been cancelled for the rest of the year. The point of university is education, not sitting in a tent all day terrorizing Jews.

To those worried about Columbia's financial viability if it expelled the pro-terrorists.....

Any hot smelly rad college lefty sex in those tents? Or are they all prisspot unfuckables?

They're all fat and unfuckable. Haven't you seen the videos? Ironically the hot ones tend to be the Israelis.

How many "Israelis" happen to be studying at Columbia University in NYC? Maybe some grad students. But undergrad?

I can’t with these protesters! These are the idiots that think they’re saving Palestine. I laughed through this entire video.

OOOWWWUUUUHHHH OWWWUUU. The screaming. Lololol

Hopefully this link works. Also, this is CA not NY. 31 million views. And the comments are not on the side of the asshole blocking the bridge. The tide is turning on the protesters. People do not like this shit.

R471 I mean, yeah, Israelis are hot, but what about that is "ironic"?

R74 Links don't work to youtube shorts on DL.

^Whoops, meant for R474

Yeah, I see, thanks. I’m trying to get the longer version.

[quote]Jews are not winners in woke Bingo. I used to think a black trans woman trumped all but now it’s a rich college girl who hates Israel!

Send all of these rich white college girls to Gaza and see how well the Arabs treat them. They'll be infidel whores and used as cum dumpsters in two seconds.

Ridiculous ignorant stupid sheltered girls, the whole lot of them. They're ridiculous.

Lol, one of the comments on that video R474 is trying to post:

"He's just freed Palestine."

I love this pic: Just because she's in a protest won't stop the fat white girl from chowing down on an entire pizza!

The idiot featured in R474's video is actually the perfect metaphor for the entire Palestinian "cause".

The even fatter Mexican girl in the lower left corner is totally zoomed in on that pizzza

Lots of misogynistic comments from you pro israel types. Alongside the suggestions to vote for Trump earlier upthread, and the general hatred for the "queers for palestine" it's fair to conclude you're mainly loser trolls.

"Queers For Palestine" is beyond stupid. We're just calling them out for being ignorant morons.

R481 Ok that isn't the fun and glamorous post-Rosey Eurotrash crowd.

Democrat New York mayor Eric Adams gets confronted on a plane by an enraged pro-Palestine protester

Are you Eric Adams? Yeah? F**K YOU!" the woman in the video shouted.

"New York mayor Eric adams spotted flying back from a weekend in Miami (Monday 4/22)."

"The same weekend that hundreds of NYC college students and faculty members were arrested for protesting the Palestinen genocide,"

If it were tiki torch white supremacists camped out at Columbia they would have been removed within the hour.

How he’s crying R480, and the cop is trying to hold onto his giggles while he tells him to let go of the rebar which obviously is not hurting the guy in any way. Just complete insanity.

Just in case anyone needs a recap of the R473 video:

NO actual penalties

Does Susan Sarandon spend her days stalking pro-Hamas rallies at NYC colleges? The woman is such a desperate, pathetic cunt.

[quote]If it were tiki torch white supremacists camped out at Columbia they would have been removed within the hour.

At least some of those guys would be good for a nice hate fucking. These pro-Palestine protesters are all ugly AF, from what I've seen.

Mostly females which is a something I noted before. Fairly unattractive and overweight. If you check out pictures from the protests of 1968 it’s mostly hot guys. Things have really changed.

Oh, China will be rubbing their hands with glee at this news. It's not exactly like the next Renaissance is resting on the shoulders of Columbia students. But maybe if they weren't so busy getting their chubby arms stuck in drain pipes they could innovate their way out of this one.

[quote]Mostly females which is a something I noted before. Fairly unattractive and overweight.

There was a picture (I think it was the DM) of their shanty town 'snack table' and it was filled to the brim with every piece of junk food and fast food you could imagine. Nobody is missing a meal.

“NY Post out of Datalounge”

“NY Post out of Datalounge”

Aunt Sue (Sarandon) is hosting pot luck suppers and even overnight accommodations at her apartment for tall, hefty, dark radical undergraduate cisgender men. She isn't lesbian this year. That was a few years ago.

NEW YORK, NY — As pro-Palestine groups continued to gather on campus following the establishment of the Gaza Solidarity Encampment, Columbia University protestors clarified that they only want "Death to America" after America is done paying their student loans for them.

"Death to America… in like, 3 or 4 years when I graduate!" shouted one student protestor. "America truly is the ‘Great Satan' that ravages and oppresses other countries and deserves to be wiped off the face of the earth…as soon as the American taxpayers finish paying off our tuition loans!

"But as soon as that's done, then, yeah, totally, death to America!"

The mob of angry students occupying the Gaza Solidarity Encampment agreed that this was an entirely reasonable requirement. "America owes us. You, know, for being all evil and horrible and stuff," said an apparently well-educated student at the university. "We demand loan forgiveness from America. Then it can die as soon as that's done."

As part of this agreement, Columbia students vowed to maintain barely passing grades in all of their liberal arts classes for the duration of time it takes taxpayers to cover their debt.

At publishing time, the Columbia protestors had also called for the death of Elon Musk, but only after they get a Tesla.

[quote] If you check out pictures from the protests of 1968 it’s mostly hot guys. Things have really changed.

The looming reality of being drafted into the military meat grinder was a great motivator.

Why are all these protestors masked? Cowards.

Lock them all up. Idiots.

[quote]Mostly females which is a something I noted before. Fairly unattractive and overweight. If you check out pictures from the protests of 1968 it’s mostly hot guys. Things have really changed.

Hot guys have moved on and are doing their own thing. At these campuses, they're concentrating on their studies and hoping and praying to get a decent enough job that allows them to live independently.

Yes, R504 has personally surveyed them all.

r505 try the medicated douche next time.

Seriously those protests are full of uggos.

And so many blacks! They must not know that Arabs hate blacks as much as white rednecks do.

This thread has now become a typical DL conversation about how hot the guys are of whom posters ideologically approve and how unattractive the women protestors are of whom they do not ideologically approve.

Never change, Datalounge. You will never be persuasive, but you will always be amusing.

What the fuck is a Muslim woman doing as the head of Columbia? Why this love of Islam? It is a scourge. A destructive cult, a destructive political ideology. How fucking stupid are people? Like putting Claudine Gay as the head of Harvard simply because a very stupid DEI billionairess put her there. And Gay who should not be at Harvard at all still gets her close to million $ salary. 'I was fired because I was black!' You were hired because you were black by a stupid woman. All the worst tropes about women as dimwits and the failure of feminism are coming true.

I don't believe women are dimwits but these idiot women are giving stupid men a run for their money.

[quote]I don't believe women are dimwits

Really r509? Because the rest of your idiotic post says otherwise.

[quote] What the fuck is a Muslim woman doing as the head of Columbia?

You can't deny people jobs based on their religion. There's a little thing called "federal law."

There's a little thing called "̴f̴e̴d̴e̴r̴a̴l̴ ̴l̴a̴w̴.̴"̴ "𝑫𝑬𝑰".

It's just amazing to see all of these lefty institution fall in love with Islam, covering up in hijab, etc. It's as jarring as if they had some kind of fundie trad wife Mormons up there, running around in pioneer dresses and bonnets.

Hi YMF. Nobody said anything about ideologically approving of hot guys, just that there aren't any. And the girls are shrill, strident unfuckable harpies.

r514 I've posted this before on DL but if Muslims were lily white Anglo-Saxons liberal Westerners would have no problem telling them to take their Medieval beliefs and shove them up their asses, just like they (rightfully) do with Fundamentalist Christians. It's 100% becuase they're (mostly) non-white and everybody is terrified of being called racist.

Fat, ugly, MISERABLE 😩 guys listen to Joe Rogan

I'm blocking links to Fox News.

R510 Your stupidity is beyond terrifying. You know nothing about Islam, you know nothing about NOW, you know nothing about DEI and you know nothing about the growing anti Semitism.

Would you want an Evangelical Christian as the head of Columbia? I bet your answer would no. It is disgusting a Muslim out of liberal stupidity is the head of a University. It is what made Claudine Gay the president of Harvard which proved to be an embarrassing joke.

Uh, r520 is not "FOX News," r522

r523: I assume you meant r509?

This is happening at USC???? Hahhahahahahahhahaha. That’s fucking hilarious.

[quote] Would you want an Evangelical Christian as the head of Columbia? I bet your answer would no.

Whether anyone would want it or not is besides the point. The point is: no one can be disallowed a job as the president of Columbia University because of their religious beliefs. It would be federally legally actionable to deny them a job on that basis.

Don't like it, you say? Well, then: too bad, so sad!

Protections not to discriminate against religion in hiring in higher education actually wholly pre-date DEI. Those have been in place for decades and decades,

If it were possible to discriminate based on religion in hiring, then the religious right [bold]absolutely[/bold] would immediately go after people who are Jewish or atheistic or agnostic--not just the Muslims.

This is the kind of antisemitic shit these dumbasses are stewing in:

[quote]Speaker at Berkeley tent encampment critiques the infiltration of "Zionism" into American feminism. Naming Betty Friedan, she says, "Jewish women participated vivaciously in this, and sometimes imported Zionist political operations into feminist networks themselves."

"Hundreds" arrested at USC according to local media:

R529 They're not even TRYING to conceal anymore that when they say "Zionist" all they actually mean is [non self-loathing] Jew. It's exactly what Republicans do with black people. You're either a token or a scourge.

Lord this one at NYU doesn’t even know what she’s protesting.

[quote]Naming Betty Friedan, she says, "Jewish women participated vivaciously in this, and sometimes imported Zionist political operations into feminist networks themselves."

If it hadn't been for Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem (who is also Jewish) that ignorant little cunt would've been married and popping out kids at 18. Forget about going to college or getting a decent job.

[quote]Never change, Datalounge. You will never be persuasive, but you will always be amusing.

Would that the Datalounge could say the same about you.

R529 —and the comment was ignored. No one gave her the time of day. It cuts both ways…at least at Berkeley, on the Mario Savio Steps.

Speaking of dumb, purple haired white women...

Hamas is led by middle-eastern billionaires. They certainly are NOT black nor are they South-east Asian.

Palestinian Jews are middle-eastern ethnicity as well. ("Palestian Jews" refers to Jews who lived in Palestine before the founding of Israel). Furthermore, many Israeli Jews are descended from immigrants from all over the Middle East and North Africa who were KICKED OUT OF THEIR countries after centuries of co-habitation with muslims. There were even jews for centuries is Mecca and Medina for fucks sake.

Israeli Jews and Palestinian Muslims are often the same ethnicity and it's appalling the cynicism that Hamas can't be wrong because "people of color".

Part II. This one is dragging.

The South doesn’t play when it comes to this shit, I’ll give them that.

The Times mocks USC 🤠

Let me tell ya a little story bout a man name Rudd.

Mark Rudd headed up Columbia university’s chapter of SDS in the1960s, leading sit-ins, riots and the occupation of the library and administrative building at the school. Rudd called for violent confrontation and hardline Communist sentiments.

Rudd and other former RYM members ultimately formed Weatherman, a self-proclaimed "organization of communist women and men." The new organization was intent on overthrowing the government through violent actions. Spreading communism was a priority for the members of Weather, as when Rudd told other members of SDS, " Don't be timid about telling people we're Communist. Don't deny it, be proud of it."

Rudd and other members of Weatherman participated in an SDS National Action on October 8–11, 1969, an event which became known as the Days of Rage

Rudd, along with other prominent members of Weather, went underground in March 1970 following the Greenwich Village townhouse explosion, an incident in which three members of the organization died when an explosive device, intended for a servicemen's ball, detonated prematurely.

For seven years Rudd lived underground. On September 14, 1977, Rudd turned himself in to authorities, tired of life as a fugitive. He had been living and working under an assumed name just a few miles from the Columbia campus in Brooklyn and was increasingly frustrated over his lifestyle which included his inability to see his family as well as working in manual labor jobs beneath his education

He received a small fine and ultimately spent less than one year in jail for all his crimes.

Gee, why was Rudd allowed to behave like this and get a slap on the risk?

I wonder why……

They also set off an actual bomb in the Capitol building, but for some reason no one remembers that.

Whatever. Attacks on the Capitol just aren't that big of a deal, I guess.

Applause for how thoroughly they scrubbed every image of Obama with the terrorists.

Barack Obama's first run for the Illinois state Senate was launched at a famous fundraiser and kickoff for the campaign at a 1995 gathering at the house of Bill Ayers and his wife, Bernadine Dohrn,

ARCATA, Calif. — Cal Poly Humboldt announced on Friday that its campus will remain closed through the rest of the semester due to the ongoing protests and occupation of Siemens Hall and Nelson Hall East.

The semester was set to end on May 10.

The university said remote instruction and work will continue until that time.

On Monday, several dozen demonstrators took over Siemens Hall, one of the main buildings on campus. Another group of protesters was outside the building.

University officials said the ongoing occupation of the two buildings has caused an "ongoing inability to open other campus facilities." They said vandalism and theft have continued across campus.

And they do nothing about it? It's only going to get worse.

I'm surprised no one has moved to sue these colleges. People pay about $75,000 just for tuition at an Ivy, and a big part of the benefit is who you meet and work with. Zoom classes eliminate all the social benefits of Ivy attendence.

The school absolutely has the ability to clear these protestors. It's private property. By leaving these dangerous encampments, they are depriving paying students of what they paid for.

I think the students forced to do remote classes have a case. Any lawyers here care to opine?

"Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, campaign manager Jason Call, and deputy campaign manager Kelly Merrill-Cayer were arrested alongside approximately 100 others –– mostly Washington University students –– at an encampment set up on Saturday on the university grounds," Stein's campaign tweeted.

"The demand from the encampment was specifically for the university to divest from Boeing, which manufactures munitions used in the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza at their nearby St. Charles [Missouri] facility.

The more videos I see these 'Gaza Liberated Zone protests', the more I hate these Nazi fucks. Fuck these Jew hating cunts back to the stone age.

Here's a little tip Jew haters. Jews aren't going to take this shit lying down anymore.

I'd like to punch both Jill Stein and this fat terrorist loving frau in their smug faces.

[quote] Jews aren't going to take this shit lying down anymore.

Jewish academics helped create this crap. They’ve brainwashed generations of kids into believing that the West is bad and white is evil. Now it’s come back to bit them in their ass. There are tons of Jews who are taking part in this protest nonsense. Some people never learn. Sucking up to the enemy is not going to get you accepted. This happened to them bending over backwards for the black community.

[quote] Jewish academics helped create this crap

A sector of them helped but there certainly were enough white Anglo Saxon protestants who did their share. Ivory tower elitism is broadly spread.

Most of the Jews I had met in academia were hugely proud Americans and advocates of human rights and human rights law.

Apropos of nothing in particular:

"The conclusion: great state schools and ascendant private ones are turning out hungry graduates; the Ivies are more apt to turn out entitled ones. And in creating the latter, the Ivies have taken the value they’ve spent centuries creating—a degree that employers craved—and in just a few years done a lot to forfeit it."

Nice try, r558, but it’s simply not true and I say this as a fellow Jew. There has been a problem in academia with this shit for decades.

R559 U$C is on that list! Ha, ha…they may want to do a re-write.

And any ranking that ignores the entire UC system—for no good reason—is worth shit.

[quote]Because, ironically, Jewish academics have been pushing the West is evil, whites are colonizers, narrative for decades. Now, it’s backfired on them.

On the other side, at least for Columbia - they seem to have quite a lot of radical Muslim academics with extreme pro-terrorism and antisemitic views, if not out right ties to terrorist organizations.

[quote]There are tons of Jews who are taking part in this protest nonsense

I think they're still small in number and are about as representative as Blacks for Trump. Jewish Voice for Peace (which is neither Jewish nor for Peace) keeps on hilariously posting backwards or upside Hebrew, seders at the wrong time and not on Passover, etc. But it helps the antisemites - so when posters go up saying "Jews go back to Europe" they can say see - but we have 6 six Jews having seder!

[quote] There are tons of Jews who are taking part in this protest nonsense

As best I can tell the number of protestors across the nation are less than a thousand or two. Lots of attention, few participants.

Pro-Hamas Rioters have now broken into the Hamilton Hall Building on the Columbia University Campus in New York City, and have begun to Reinforce and Barricade the Entrances as well as Exits to the Building using Classroom Furniture and Police Barriers.

Those pussies will start crying when the police move in to arrest them. Fucking terrorist supporters.

Part II

Murieeeelllll is on a deleting spree. Her and the non-binary minions are antisemitic. They don’t want to discuss this. They support Hamas?

This is what's happening at UCLA:

Parent @UCLA gave permission to release this audio of her phone call with @UCLAPD as they describe the school's directive to allow protestors to restrict the movement of Jewish students.

"Are the protestors allowed to block students who are paying tuition from classes? No, but unfortunately, they have taken over that area." "We've received a directive not to intervene" "So you're allowing the protestors to block the Jewish students?" "I'm not allowing it... the school is. Yes, the school is saying that they will not be removed at this time."

Statement from Andrew Bates, Deputy White House Press Secretary, on Columbia University encampment and the breaking into and takeover of Hamilton Hall:

“President Biden has stood against repugnant, Antisemitic smears and violent rhetoric his entire life. He condemns the use of the term ‘intifada,’ as he has the other tragic and dangerous hate speech displayed in recent days. President Biden respects the right to free expression, but protests must be peaceful and lawful. Forcibly taking over buildings is not peaceful – it is wrong. And hate speech and hate symbols have no place in America.”

Does Biden even know what that word means?

Palestinian "students" attack German ambassador

Now the dumbasses at Fordham have occupied a building and threw red paint on a police van.

r583's video proves the point that most of these protesters are the ugly unfuckables.

They were breaking things.

New Orleans Police Dept. cleared and then, arrested 20 people from an encampment at Tulane University. Of the 20 people arrested, only THREE (!) were Tulane students.

That's what pushed Columbia to act, R586. Columbia and NYPD had intelligence that there were professional activists and outside agitators at both the encampment and barricaded in Hamilton Hall. One of those was the wife of a convicted terrorist.

Once again, outside fucknuts are a big part of the protests:

" Of the arrests made on New York University’s campus last week, fewer than half were current students, faculty and staff, according to the university.

On April 22, 133 individuals were arrested on Gould Plaza on campus and 65 were current students, faculty and staff, the university said in a news release Wednesday."

-CNN live updates thing

I can't wait to see how many of the people arrested at Columbia were not actually students or staff.

Lots of professionals at these demonstrations. I mean people who have been engaging in various demonstrations for years. So about 1/2 outsiders and 1/2 students seems to be the norm.

They need to send Charles Busch there as Police Captain Monica Stark to talk to those protestors:

MONICA: I don't like you. Don't like the way ya talk. I don't like the way ya walk. Don't like ya haircut. You kids think ya own this campus - think it's a teenage world! Well, you're dead wrong!
