Sounds good to me. No way should students be able to take over buildings, keep threatening Jewish students on a campus in NYC????? And these students who take over the building and block access get no punishment from the University…. |
People love being offended
The protests have been mostly peaceful. Nobody threatened anyone, some had incorrect hats., scarves |
Exactly. |
No one threatened anyone,they were just peacefully protesting.
Protesting Israel is not the same thing as being anti Semitic, however much Israeli's and their supporters may believe. |
https://abc7ny.com/amp/post/pro-palestinian-protests-break-columbia-university-barnard-college-day-9-demonstrators-arrested/15984875/ Doesn’t seem very peaceful when you need riot police to clear out the protesters. Blocking access to building, people from class. That’s not peaceful, that’s obstruction. |
US should have stopped funding both sides in the last Democrat administration. Why didn’t they????? |
Ah, retribrutive authoritarianism. That's nice. Seriously - these cuts to grants to the school are not related to grants for programs that may have been deemed anti-semitic. Instead they are expressly designed to punish the school for the protests that happened earlier. Trump can cancel anything at any time for anything anyone has done any time in the past. No one sees a problem with this? |
I’m Jewish and all for fighting against anti semitism, but trumps war isn’t on antisemitism. It’s on higher education. Dumb people are good for his voting bloc. |
Nope. All good. These antisemitic protest are continuing. As a Jewish person I am disgusted that Columbia is still allowing this. They are protesting Jewish people, not just Israel here. He should cut all their funding if the school can’t cut down on this. |
Go visit the College and University forum. There are multiple pages of discussion on this topic already. |
So Jewish students at Columbia get shafted too? There’s a huge Jewish student population there. |
Of course. What, did you think this was about you? |
Why? Jewish students get in to all ivy leagues at a much higher rate vs non Jews as percentage of population. Cutting 400 million from a university that has a 22.5% undergraduate Jewish student body does not help Jews. Remember the acceptance rate is 3.9%. With Jews being 2% of the US population Columbia University must give preference to Jewish students to achieve 22.5% percent in each class. This will hurt Jewish students at Columbia. Do you have a problem with Shai Davidai and his harassment and intimidation of university employees and students? |
I guess we should be careful about what we complain to uncle Donald about. My father told me that his father would punish both him and his brother for fighting. Regardless of who started it. Ludicrous |
