Protests on college campuses

[Anonymous]

The problem is the AIPAC narrative is falling apart and the institutions in America who have embraced that narrative don't know how to adjust. This isn't some conspiracy theory.

In the USA only one country has protections that require state contractors to certify they are not boycotting it. It's not Mexico or Canada. It's even ok to boycott other states. California wouldn't do business with Arizona. But don't you dare boycott Israel. That's a no no. Can't have that.

People notice things like that and when they realize it doesn't make sense and that they aren't allowed to question it it's going to manifest itself like this.

See the difference?

And the PP (in the instant post and previous posts) is barely concealing their bared fangs in calling for razor wire, imposed famine, and then swift and vicious disposition of their cases resulting in severe punishment.

NP. I’m 100% for this, yes. These “students” do not have a right to defile public spaces at the schools that are supposed to be there for everyone’s use and enjoyment

Very interested to see how many high school seniors (who had previously accepted admission offers) are now reconsidering and withdrawing acceptances.

They will continue to draw the students who are attracted to what they are putting out. There is clearly a market for it.

Students who aren’t looking to cosplay revolutionary in support of Islamic terror groups will go to places like Ole Miss and U of Miami where they can focus on partying, studying, networking, and socializing.

Yep. I found this interesting.....
It's almost as if students go to college specifically to become activists.

Vanderbilt accepts people like this?? My estimation of that school has tanked, just reading that.

My opinion of many of these so-called "prestigious" universities has totally tanked. Harvard, Columbia, Yale.... I could go on and on.

True. I guess I thought Vanderbilt had more sense than the Ivies, but apparently not.

Vanderbilt is so enamored with the idea of keeping up with Ivys that it ruins its own reputation in the process.

Now, University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Fredericksburg is not trying to keep up with the Ivies!

In both cases, the protesters refused to leave and were arrested. When they knew their arrest was imminent, why wouldn’t they leave?!

It this a martyr thing? It seems to me it’s a waste of law enforcement’s time, the protester’s time and the protester’s money (presumably spent on bail). Who wants to spend a night in jail, get a record, get fingerprinted… when they had the option of not being arrested?

Seems mostly peaceful though, no?

The powers that be won't be satisfied until we're at each other's throats, which is precisely why they've engineered our environment in the fashion they've ordained. They think they can scurry away like the rats they are but what they don't reckon is we'll bring them down with us.

A massive crowd of onlookers standing behind the police tape. I’m watching a livestream.

So they are screwing up their lives for nothing? Now they have a police record and possibly expelled. They are idiots.

The freedom to follow your conscience and live out what you believe in and who you are, is the cornerstone of a meaningful and rich life.

Exactly. They want to divide and conquer us.

I don’t see her endorsing Hamas at all. She’s asking for divestment. She called what Israel is doing “a genocide,” which I think is a debatable term. But, nothing references loyalty to Hamas.

Who are the harpies on this thread?

Vietnam War era protestors (and draft dodgers) seem to have done just fine now haven't they?

I don't think they were supporting terrorists, were they?

And neither are the vast majority of these protesters.

Protesting mass killings of Gaza civilians is not supporting terrorists. But you know that.

History will look favorably on these protesters.

Maybe they were prepared to make that sacrifice to express their outrage at the 34,000 Palestinians slaughtered by Israel. Just a thought.

I assume if 34,000 Jews were killed you’d be OK with a protest or two, even if someone missed a formal.

You can post non-stop here but it won't change the brutality of Israel and what the rest of the world (and the younger generation) knows: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68915529

They should have ousted Netanyahu when they had a chance. He's destroyed their country and engendered global antipathy towards Israel and its inhabitants. It will likely never be seen as anything other than a pariah nation ever again.

Israel has every right to defend itself against the brutal Hamas terrorists.
Hamas started this.
And, as each day passes without the release of the hostages...... the world is learning just how brutal Hamas is and how they try to sway public opinion with false propaganda.
Looks like they have captured your attention.

You do know there are protests in Israel because many people believe that Netanyahu isn’t doing enough to secure their release. You do know that Israel killed three of their own hostages because they couldn’t distinguish them from Hamas (and were holding white surrender cloths). You do know that Qatar says Israel is as guilty as Hamas for holding up an agreement.

Then they’d be praising then to the high heavens.

The animosity towards these protesters, the lies and the hypocrisy is staggering.

The Hamas-splaining began on October 9 when Yale’s chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, a left-wing legal group, endorsed a statement affirming the right of Palestinians to resist “occupation by all available means.” The statement, which was sent to the student-wide listserv by first-year law student Chisato Kimura, didn’t just call for “armed struggle” against the “Settler Colonial State of Israel.” It said that Hamas should be delisted as a terrorist group.

“We call for all Palestinian and Lebanese resistance organizations to be removed from the U.S. list of ‘Foreign Terrorist Organizations’ and ‘Specially Designated Global Terrorists,’ ” the statement read. “These lists allow for the persecution, criminalization, and economic coercion of people resisting apartheid, genocide, and colonialism.”

Why don’t they divest themselves from the universities? Just withdraw from the university. If this issue was so important to them, why did they enroll in the first place?

Lots of students getting arrested but I remember posters on this board telling me liberals never got arrested for protests and Jan 6ers were “victims being unfairly charged and stripped of their 1st amendment rights”.
So jot this all down, insurrectionists and quit your whining.

DP. So is she going to divest herself from her scholarship?

Yeah, didn't think so.
