They also criticized Biden's policy in regards to the war and called for a permanent ceasefire.

The statement was put out by the executive board by a vote of 8-2.

Hot time in Chicago in August. 1968 repeating itself.

But this time there’s endless funding thanks to George Soros.

I’m agnostic, but Soros’s actions make me kinda a believer, like he’s the antichrist. His hatred of other Jews is terrifying. He makes me want desperately to believe in Hell and eternal punishment.

Crickets. Maybe they’re finally embarrassed? Doubtful, but maybe.

Maybe they cut off WiFi from inside the barricaded building at Columbia

Good statement. Various schools around the country are dealing with this, with different approaches and different results. The president doesn't need to add fuel to any of it. A low-key rejection of the violent protesting at Columbia is the right tone to take, IMHO.

Low-key is the reason why Columbia is in this situation now.

I don't love that it's from Fox news but no way in hell that's a college student. A-hole paid protestors doing nothing but stirring up division.

At what point do these college students need to take some responsibility for the divisive people protesting alongside them?

On both the right and the left, this is a problem. And both sides are afraid to call out their more extreme members and prefer to just pretend that they aren't responsible.

The problem is that both sides are treated so differently (in particular by the media) on this issue.

Yes- Jan 6th rioters were treated like criminals and these protesters - calling for violence and intifada - are being treated with kid gloves likened to civil rights activists.

+1
It’s truly mind-boggling to see the difference in treatment. These protesters are animals and should be treated as such. Masked rioters, breaking windows and barricading themselves inside buildings? Where’s the SWAT team?

And these thugs shouldn’t just be “suspended,” they should be expelled. With an arrest record.

Zero Jan 6 insurrectionists were arrested on Jan 6. They beat up police, destroyed the capitol, etc and were all allowed to just go home. On the other hand, lots of these students are getting arrested. So yes, there’s a big difference in treatment.

More than 450 of the January 6th protesters have gone to jail. Hopefully the same fate will befall the pro-Hamas students running riot at Columbia.

+1 and any non-American protesters should be deported.

People have rights you moron. You don't get to just ship off people who say and do things you don't like. That's the freedom you idiots never stop bleeting about. It cuts both ways.

DT.

FTR, it's not at all clear legally whether/when the US government can deport noncitizens for their speech.

See Reno vs. AAADC, Kleindienst, Galvan, etc.

So it's entirely possible that the government could seek to deport noncitizen students who participate in protests.

Judiciary just spoke out on this issue. If a student is on visa and it’s determined he’s engaging in supporting terrorism (Hamas is recognized as terror organization), then he can be immediately deported.

Related, but not quite the same issue.

Question is: can a nonresident be deported from the US solely for the content of their speech?

Answer is: maybe.

Would not be surprised if Trump tested this if he's elected.

In case you’ve been asleep, the mob is well beyond “speech”.

With hundreds of countries and tens of thousands of companies as options for investing, some American colleges are choosing to stick with investing in a country charged with war crimes and whose credit rating is at junk level.

It is quite an irrational approach to both moral values and investing. Unless of course you care for neither….

Did you read the statement by a Harvard Crimson editor?

Harvard's only material investment "in Israel" is in Booking.com, which apparently conducts business in Israel (along with dozens of other countries).

All this to get Harvard to divest from Booking.com?

Doesn't seem like a very useful approach.

You're a few steps behind the interesting part.

Biden might as well have told them, “Don’t.”

Or as we sauy in public schools, "Let's make a good choice."

I said earlier today. Cut off the electricity and water supply in the building. The mob will come out eventually. I feel bad for the NYPD that is going to have to eventually go in and take them out by force. It’s not going to be pretty.

No, Columbia's over-the-top response last week is why Columbia is in this situation now.

It's possible that a low-key response would lead to today, sure. But we definitely know that the extreme reaction by Columbia lead to today.

No, that’s exactly what multiple posters are saying. The mob at Columbia has violated several criminal conduct codes in the past 24 hours. They don’t deserve to remain in our country.

I agree with you that there are many available choices.

Students can “divest” themselves from these universities by withdrawing. Then find an institution in alignment with their investing value.

You are more than welcome to divest yourself to Israel and spend your money, resources and life to support it. You don’t get to squander everyone’s elses money and resources on your project.

Soros and his fellow globalists just want war. Useful protesters want cash in their pockets. Perfect match up.

They are guests in our country on student visas. They are committing crimes. Foreigners who commit crimes should be deported. That is how law and order works. If I break into buildings in Japan they’ll deport me, as they should. Besides, we have enough of our own problems without importing more.

How does someone as dumb as you function?

+1 Remember the poor kid in N. KOREA.

Yes the pro Israel agitators have been emboldened by the support the university has given them. I hear loyalty oaths to Israel will be required by next semester.
