Protests on college campuses

Wow, they are now arresting protestors with firearms. Huge escalation.

Read her bio. It truly looks like something out of The Onion or The Babylon Bee.



OMG. This would be a fabulous SNL skit. If only!

Some people have standards. They feed their bodies the way they feed their minds, with thoughtfulness and purity.

These lists of demands that involves creature comforts and essential supply "do-overs" because they forgot to pack snacks and sippy cups are goddamned ridiculous. And that's from the perspective of someone who thinks the counterprotestors are complete scumbags.

If you have to leave a protest because you forgot to prepare well, deal with it. Don't protest casually, would be the lesson.

Their list of needs and ask is directed at their supporters. They don't rob the taxpayers of another country to the tune of hundreds of billions to meet their needs the way a certain welfare country does.

You’re clearly not talking about the protesters.

I am so disgusted by schools that have “negotiated” with these arrogant dolts. UF seems to be the only school that acted decisively and with common sense.

On Monday Northwestern University said it reached an “agreement” with the leaders of its anti-Israel encampment, which has sprawled across the campus lawn and onto Sheridan Road. In exchange for removing the tents, Northwestern will fund two visiting Palestinian faculty members for at least two years, scholarships for five Palestinian undergraduates and a safe space for Middle Eastern and North African Muslim students.

That’s not negotiation; it’s successful blackmail. Students for Justice in Palestine will encourage more of the same from protesters on other campuses if university leaders won’t enforce their own rules.

For the genocide supporters in the back, this is what demands aka threats look like.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. DH works in Asia and said nobody talks about coming to the US now, even for holiday. Major shift in last 5-6 years.

Travel rates have plummeted in the US, 2nd to last in 18 global destinations: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-01-12/-1-2-trillion-us-travel-industry-is-plummeting-says-new-study

Nobody is coming to save us. Well, we'll see if Israel does.


Yes, but people aren't traveling to Asian countries or to Europe either. What happened 5 years ago to cause such a radical worldwide change? A global pandemic.

The deep relationship between the New York Police Department and Israel has been greatly strengthened over the last two decades, as the NYPD has sought Israeli expertise in counterterrorism and as Israeli police have looked to New York for their “broken windows” model of community policing.
Since 2002, the New York Police Department has blurred the work of urban policing, counterterrorism and intelligence to a degree that is unprecedented for any American police department. This transformation included the creation of the infamous “Demographics Unit,” which ran a secret program monitoring Muslim communities that was revealed in a Pulitzer-winning series by the Associated Press in 2011. In this program – sprawling from NYC all the way to Canada – the NYPD treated basic acts of daily living as potential crimes, surveilling Muslims in their homes, mosques, schools, restaurants, coffee shops, and universities.

Shocker the NYPD see Columbia students as terrorists. Again WTF?


Yeah, I can guess your age from your post.


You know nothing but your allegiance to another country. It is shocking anyone would think training in police tactics and intelligence by Israel would come to anything but racist profiling. The Israelis are a joke in terms of intelligence, fighting and policing. Look at how many times they have been hit by surprise attacks. Every major war. Lucky they have the US to bail them out of their incompetence.


This didn't have anything to do with Israel. As I said, you are young. You don't know what a huge impact 9/11 had on this country, the tremendous changes, mostly negative, that happened.


Why don’t you address the FACT that the architects of 9/11 literally, repeatedly identified our U.S. support of apartheid Israel as their singular motivation for 9/11, and then work back from there and try unsuccessfully to explain why that support continues?


Do you believe that if the US condemned Israel and withdrew support that the world would be safe from Islamic terrorists?


Sure, why not? The U.S. would not be targeted by that brand of terrorism anyway. You act like Islamist terrorism occurs in a vacuum without any external factors. Fascinating.

I don’t buy the propaganda manufactured to continue the money flowing to Israel. You evidentially do.


So the only problem jihadists have with the US is its support of Israel? That's it? Their only problem is Israel?

Has anyone seen polls on how Independents in swing states are viewing these campus protests (and Biden’s reaction)?

I agree with you 100%.
It is like giving into your toddler when he/she throws a temper tantrum. You're just reinforcing the bad behavior.

It’s very clear how the Zionists attacked anti-war activists at UCLA:
