Her days are numbered. Losing the support of Columbia faculty and students is more damaging to her survival in office than placating GOP members of Congress for a nano-second.

No you can continue to arrest and belittle your paying customers! The only things that matter are donations from right wing extremists, helping the settlements grow and crushing Muslim.

Seems like only the trespassing, violent, racist and antisemitic pro-terrorist "customers" are getting arrested. A small number of morons really. Columbia will do much better without them.

These kids seem perfectly comfortable advocating for a genocide of all Jews.

If you actually follow the facts you would understand that 99% of the Columbia student protesters are not advocating for a genocide of all Jews.
They are focusing on divestment. But why bother with facts when they are inconvenient to the narrative you are determined to stick with

Yes, “divestment” which is just a cutesy name for financial genocide of the Israeli State and Jewish population through restriction of financial contributions. Something that they are calling for right as Israel needs our financial and military support more then ever, with Iran making completely unprovoked military assaults against Israel.

Completely unprovoked? Do you actually believe the words spilling from your piehole?

Oh, I’m sorry, Israel sent a rocket to blow up an Iranian consulate building where they were holding a bunch of terrorists, and somehow that justified Iran sending dozens of drones on a beeline to bomb the shit out of innocent Israelis, right? Am I understanding the pro-Hamas argument correctly?

Israel blew up an embassy. This is one of the most elemental International Laws observed by all countries and powers over the last 2000 years. Israel is a rogue and thuggish state that deserves to be shunned by the international community.

They lost that protection when they knowingly and purposefully filled the “embassy” with terrorists and terrorist sympathizers. They can’t go back and complain that Israel “didn’t respect” their international rights when they weren’t respecting their own international rights and responsibilities in the first place.

Do you have anything - ANYTHING - that enables you to make the statement that "they knowingly and purposefully filled the “embassy” with terrorists and terrorist sympathizers" as if it's a fact?

The DNC this summer is going to be absolutely wild and all of America will watch it live on tv - Palestine flags, antisemitic rhetoric, all the shit in college campuses will pour out at that convention center. Let’s see how they defend this shit to mainstream America.

NP. I saw a video tonight where the “kids” you are defending were screaming “Go back to Poland” at Jewish students. Something like 96% of Polish Jews were killed by the Nazis. Is this the side and behavior you are defending?

Except they are not Columbia students, they are confirmed agitators.

Al Jazeera news has video of students holding signs that Palestine will be free by any means necessary. Violence is being advocated for.

Jews are claiming to be scared to death of "WORDS" while Palestinian women and children are actually getting slaughtered by a Jewish ethono state. Y'all are full of jokes.

This absurd. This isn’t just a bunch of misguided students peacefully protesting what they view as the Israeli government overstepping their rights to self defense, this is radicals supporting a recognized international terrorist organization and actively calling for genocide and the dissolution of the Israeli State, often specifically targeting Jewish students, staff, and passers who have zero connection to the Israeli government, and denying Israel any right to defend their nation following 10/7.

Criticizing Israel is perfectly fine. Israel has, in the past, made decisions I do not agree with, but that is different then glorifying Hamas and denying Israel the right to measured self defense.

Ugh. "Measured self defense" is not what Israel does. The best thing that can be said about it now is that it's no worse than some of the other tribal butchers in the region like Assad.

Really? Because Israel’s current offensive against Hamas has been impressively restrained and has proportionally killed far fewer Civilians then other recent conflicts. For a nation that is, according to the pro-Hamas protesters and terrorists, attempting to commit genocide, they are doing a really poor job.

Now Hamas, on the other hand, has repeatedly killed their own civilians, committed war crimes, and refused to negotiate in good faith.

still think it’s cool if your kids are part of them?

still think some of us jews are just sooo over sensitive?

Call Netanyahu or have your Rabbi send a message up the chain. I'm sure once Israel stops their aggression, things will pipe down. So long as they stop it soon enough, so people don't start reading antisemitic texts and understanding the arguments that were made against Jews. At this time, only the weird, fringe academics and neo-Nazis have opened these texts, but soon the word will proliferate and there will be problems.

If that characterization accurately described the students arrested by the NYPD, the Columbia faculty would not have protested today against Shafik. They don't agree with your nasty assessment. And if any similar comments were made about the Zionists on the Columbia campus ("morons," "better off without them," etc.) you'd be whining up a storm about anti-Semitism. You're vile.

So you are saying these protests are not peaceful?

These protests are going to push more Jews to go to Israel. The protestors are literally working against themselves and they’re too stupid to realize it.

If all the Jews go to Israel, who is going to be around to make sure that the American politicians keep funding Israel? If they all go, America will go back to being an unbiased world power.

What do the protetstors want? For Columbia to stop the war? What morons. They deserve to go to jail for idiocy.

They want them to divest from any Israeli business and denounce the country. Neither of which are going to happen.

Maybe all of these kids should transfer and stop paying $70k / year to this school that enables genocide. Then maybe they'll listen.

Why are you trying to pass off Jewish News Service propaganda as fact? GTFOH.

You know Columbia’s acceptance rate, right?

They could replace these students 20 times over if they wanted to.

Are you a free speech absolutist? Like everyone no matter what should be able to speak and protest? Would you support the free speech rights of Nazis? If you’re not an absolutist then you’re just playing favorites.

What's more, USC and Columbia are private universities so making the free speech argument is questionable no matter who is speaking.

Funded By US tax dollars...

Colombia will try a new education model, no students or professors just donors and AI.
