They pushed the limits because their first, actually peaceful protest was meant with heavy handed discipline and a police presence, just like Columbia’s president promised the Republicans conducting her hearing that they would be. And then students in other colleges pushed the limits, because of how badly Columbia things. Because the kids know that MTG should not be calling university presidents onto the carpet and threatening to cancel them unless they “make an example” of what we’re, at the time, peaceful protestors. |

You can’t control the narrative, the dam has broken. |
Yes, Columbia messed up with their heavy-handed tactics last week. But seriously, at schools all over the country, students have been vandalizing and "encamping" and have been joined by significant numbers of non-students (who are these people?). And these pro-Palestine, pro-Hamas protests do not have the sympathy of the country, as the student protests in the 60s did. This is not this generation's Vietnam or civil rights movement. |
I mean, they aren’t wrong. Israeli lobbying firms got the stupid wing of Congress to threaten the President of Columbia, so she overreacted, which started this. You think Isreal isn’t pouring money into winning this ideological battle? |
What an idiot^ |
Vietnam protests? Civil rights protests? Also not winning issues with UMC white people. |
Yes, they are wrong. NYPD is not "Netanyahu's police", NYPD is not brutalizing these college students, and many of them aren't even college students at all but plain criminals. Columbia's administration is occupied by brain worms, lately. But not Israel. SMH |
He gave the orders a few days ago loud and clear, in English. US colleges are now occupied territories. |
Oh? Are you a boomer? Do you know any boomers? Doesn't seem like it. |
It’s about time. We’ve been funding Israel and its depraved war criminals and land-grabbing settlers far too long. |
What’s changed is morons like you can afford wi-fi. |
You can’t be real |
Go join the pro-Hamas protestors. Apparently all are welcome, you don't even have to be a student to occupy a building at a university. |
You are pussyfooting around this, Netanyahu whistle called his dogs a few days ago. |
