I’m only 31 and these people make me feel old AF; not looking forward to working with them.

They are studying and learning a lot. They are becoming intimately familiar with their masters and understanding why they are debt slaves.

Wrong protest. Wrong thread.

Do they think Palestine is like a giant gay bar/drag brunch? So confused.

It's very confusing. Also they think not getting meals delivered to them while they are taking over a building constitutes a humanitarian crisis.

Their demand for a meal plan. Serious bunch.

Israel has been on a meal plan for 80 years. A failure to launch by all definitions.

You're so cute!

It must be really upsetting to preach about the supposed superiority of Zionists and then have the inconvenient truth about how Israel is just a welfare recipient thrown in your face.

Everyone understands. There, there.

They’re thankfully learning law, order, and respect. Hopefully that lesson keeps getting taught.

At the very least that guy with a stick needs to be arrested.

Yes the masters’ private army is teaching “law and order”.

not pretty but the logical reaction to the mob allowed to take over campus and block entry. this is why the police should have cleared the encampment on day 1.

That camp looks absurd.

Absurd is a polite word for that illegal fortified encampment.

Did I misunderstand what was happening? A lone pro-Palestinian protestor yelled at counter-protestors, threw an orange cone at them, and then was mobbed? Yeah, the protestors and counter-protestors all need to go. They are no longer students, just mobs. Go home, fail your classes. Do better in the future.

Yes, you are misunderstanding what happened.

The counter-protesters, mostly older people from the community who are not students, have come on the campus. They have yelled the n word at protesters, thrown mice into the encampment, spit at people, and said things like "I hope they rape you." Here's a video of some of these delightful people:

Yesterday night they attempted to break down the barricades surrounding the camp. They tossed fireworks at the encampment, hurled stones and wooden planks at people, sprayed bear spray, and multiple people were beaten. It was a disgusting, racist mob.

I mean, why did the pro-Hamas protestors build a fortification if they didn't want to be attacked? That was their plan, their goal. They must be delighted right now. They're martyrs!

+1 clear the encampments, monitor the protests closely to make sure free speech doesn’t become incendiary. They can’t just let these protests become free for alls on either side and let law and order break down. It’s not fair to the 95%+ of students and staff who are just there to get an education and do their jobs.

Nobody has the “right” to:

Prevent students from attending class

None of that is peacefully protesting. They deserve to be arrested.

It’s shocking to me that our Supreme Court is currently mulling over a case that could criminalize homeless people for simply sitting or sleeping on the street yet these privileged Americans can wreak havoc, damage property, and directly impact others without consequence.

I am baffled as to why Americans are centering themselves in this war…so “American” to make it about themselves.

Embarrassing.

Maybe because America bankrolls the Israeli killing machine and Israel has made it clear they’ll pull every lever at their disposal to stifle any domestic criticism here. Since Israel destroyed every university in Gaza, it’s no surprise students in America with any conscience felt obligated to speak up against the Jewish murderers.

I get that.

But what I don’t get is how protesters can fixate on just one thing (war/killing of innocents) without recognizing the complexity of the situation (a terrorist government fueled by religious extremism hell bent on the destruction of Israel, Jews, America, the West, and everyone who doesn’t adhere to their wacky breed of religious extremism.

Practically speaking, what happens if Israel withdraws its troops and Netanyahu peaces out?

Billions would be pumped into Gaza for humanitarian aid and rebuilding and Hamas would claim victory, divert funds to rebuild tunnels and secure more weapons, and the terror would continue in Gaza and Israel.

If anyone thinks there is a simple solution you aren’t grasping the reality of the situation and the players.

Its actually pretty simple. Palestinians are willing to live with Israelis in a single state, and Israelis are not willing to live with Palestinians in a single state. If Israel grants full rights to Palestinians, all this conflict ends in a generation.

I’m not sure that’s the end game for Hamas or Palestinians, but I’ll take your word for it for the sake of dialogue.

Then let Israel root out Hamas, rebuild a beautiful new civilization that is part of Israel and adheres to the Israeli government’s laws, and zero exceptions allowing people to opt out of adhering to civil rights/human rights based on religion/culture.

If the Palestinians can assimilate and embrace Israel, then that would be amazing.

I just don’t see that happening what with the whole “death to Israel” thing.

I thought they wanted their own state that essentially pushes Israel out of existence? And then onward to the entire West?

+1 and that’s my whole issue with these protests. Yes the Israeli government should stop the indiscriminate bombings. Yes they should have never started to build/annex “settlements” in the Palestinian land. So they stop doing that and then what? Would the Palestinians accept living under Israeli rule in a secular democracy if it meant having full rights? What would the international community think about Hamas members and sympathizers being granted a full Israeli passport? Or we have a two state solution, Israel gives up some of its land … does that stop the Palestinian attacks on Israeli territory? That also creates a new country which would immediately be amongst the poorest in the Middle East and a puppet state of Iran, and ask the governments of Egypt and Jordan how they feel about that.

+100

The students are like the “no nuclear power” environmental protesters—largely well intentioned, but incredibly naive.

Young and dumb. It’s a fun time of life.

It should be. I'll say again what I've said before - these kids don't look like they are having any fun. Of course this situation is as serious as a heart attack - but they should be experiencing some joy while demonstrating about it. They do not seem to be experiencing any joy.

Driving to a college you are not affiliated with, brutalizing students sitting on a lawn is a “logical reaction” in Natanyahu’s America.

Your outrage is boring. Prosecute the counter protesters too. Nobody is saying otherwise. Fortunately this nonsense is going to be over soon.
