Answer is bigotry, ignorance, and hate. That simple.

Antisemitism is a real problem. You can disguise it change it but many posting here are antisemetic. Columbia has a problem. People should not feel threatened to go to class ever.

Has this happened to kids you know or were you only told it happened? I was at Columbia during the protests last spring. they were peaceful. however, there were anti-protest agitators (ie pro zionist) outside the gates (non students) that were intimidating. My sister lives in LA and reported the same think about UCLA.

I would love your explanation of what "peaceful" and "intimidating" means.
For example, is covering the face with a mask a-la Hamas a mark of a peaceful protester?

I have no problem with masks (the students were justifiably nervous about doxing after what happened to the Harvard students). But for the most part I did not see masked students.

Getting into my face and yelling I do have a problem with.

The yelling in my face is what I saw anti-protesters to protesters last spring. I know this happened to Jewish students too in a few reported cases, but it is unclear that there were more cases of Jewish students being harassed than the protesters being harassed.

Therefore the punishment of one group seems biased.

If they are proud of supporting Hamas, why wear masks? Also, is it doxxing to report truthful information that someone was participating in a protest in public?

Doxxing is not just report truthful info. It is reporting information designed to harm someone. Why is it okay for Harvard students to have employment positions pulled for simply signing a letter supporting Palestinians?

No one is entitled to a job. Employers have a choice in who they hire and represent them in the workforce. Also, it wasn't a letter simply supporting Palestinians, but rather it said "We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,". But of course, you knew that already.

Would you feel the same way if other ethnic groups were involved?

You do know that's a fake quote, right?

The quote is attributed to Ben-Gurion, A Biography, By Michael Ben-Zohard (Delactore, New York 1978). The quote does not appear in this text, nor does it appear in another document regularly cited as a source – the Koenig Memorandum about dealing with Israel’s Arab citizens published in 1976. The quote, like others falsely attributed to Ben Gurion, appears regularly on anti-Israel websites.

Feel free to read more about Ben-Gurion

No students were prevented from going to class. And why does supposed anti-semetism get resources from a university pulled but hate bias incidents of any other type don’t rise to the same level. Isn’t this administration against DEI and for all speech, no moderation needed?

The only thing that is important is Israel. Israel must get all the money and resources of the US. Screw the taxpayers. Israel first.

Did any Jewish student or professor die or get seriously injured? Why were they still attending classes and why wouldn’t they call police?

you have no idea what was going on if you are asking this questions. Imagine we say the same thing about Gaza - call UN or your military or Hamas. WTF

That is right thing to do. Who wants to hire employees that creating nuisance and supporting violent protests.

This is not ignorance, but rather deliberate, blatant disinformation. The same person posts nonsense, then replies to self pretending to agree.

1) I have never replied to self
2) I am not a Russian troll
3) actually I am Jewish (well yes I would have been killed in the 1930s40/ if I lived in Europe but my Dad is s Jewish so I have also been told by multiple Jewish people that I am not Jewish bc my mother was not so honestly I’m kind of confused.
4) I was at Columbia multiple times last spring and I was harassment by a counter protest group who yelled in my face while i saw student protester peacefully singing
5) I 10000% agree never again. But I see Palestinian as people and I also see Zionists (and I don’t mean the label to be antisemitic bc again - I myself am Jewish - well by some standards) inflicted suffering on them.
6) okay now you want to say “but they deserve it” but please. Take a moment. Why do you hate them and not all of the Europeans and Americans that abandoned you during WWIi??? Do you not see a disconnect?
7) I have no issues learning from any first hand accounts you want to share. But have not faith in second hand reports.

So brainwashed.

I was curious so I looked this up since I'd never seen since this before. This is a bogus quote. Ben-Gurion never said that. It's attributed to some civil servant in the 70s whose recommendations were all rejected by the Israeli government.

I cannot take progressive protesters seriously anymore. It's just a low IQ hate cult at this point. Columbia and others were wrong to indulge these morons for as long as they did. This is not a free speech issue. They can go stand in front of the White House and say whatever they want. But the stupidity and anti-semitism of progressives is so dumb and hate filled that it has no place on a college campus. I feel stupid just for reading their propaganda.

As you always say - freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. Most employers don’t want to employ terrorist sympathizers.

As you always say - freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. Most employers don’t want to employ terrorist sympathizers.

If the Harvard letter had just stuck to empathizing with civilians caught in the crossfire, or the need for humanitarian aid (supervised to ensure it wasn't stolen and resold by Hamas on the black market to buy weapons), then the doxxing wouldn't have happened.

Here, if the pro-Palestinian protestors had just waved signs and chanted slogans, that would be fine as far as the First Amendment goes. But they didn't. They went way beyond this. Their behavior is reminiscent of the Ruby Bridges scenario 65 years ago. Instead of Federal Marshals, Trump chose to pull funding until Columbia enforced its own rules. He can do this, and Columbia will have only itself to blame for any lost research.

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….

Exactly.

Be careful what you pray for.
