I 100% support both the Palestinian people and the Israeli people and 0% support either Hamas or Likud/Netanyahu.

What is sad is how the message and rhetoric is being co-opted.


Do you have proof of this? Or any links to articles backing up your perception.


The real student peaceful protesters have posted on Instagram stories and warned other students of outside agitators (some posted pics of them). The same thing occurred during BLM— my source was NYPD Intel manning central control and responsible for moving coordinates for street cops. In this scenario, it was white agitators paid to do so. That’s all I can reveal.


DP. Doesn’t really matter if there were some “outside agitators” involved - they still represent the nutty left and the idiot students had no issue following their lead.


You are talking about a handful of protestors on campuses with tens of thousands of students. The media and people like you are amplifying this beyond any reasonable purpose.


NP here, it's true that on all campuses it's a small minority of students protesting, and plenty of students who do protest are peaceful. Why are they OK protesting alongside outside agitators screaming vile terrorist and antisemitic slogans, wearing Hamas gear, destroying property? At what point does one look around and think "this violent rhetoric does not reflect my peaceful, humanitarian objective and I do not want to associate with it"? Why are these outside agitators not being denounced by student leaders?

Because there’s less of them. Yesterday, a university President acted quickly to lockdown a lobby on campus property where only 6 tents x 12 students were set up. No one in, no one out. The outside agitators were outside the college perimeter. Open campuses like Colombia is where many students exposed non student agitators to police.

Sure. And, there are no students there to take it down because it doesn't represent their views. Sure. Uh huh.

Too bad that campus (GW?) doesn’t have anyone courageous around, like UNC’s frat boys.

The head of Jewish studies at Dartmouth has been suspended for protecting students from police brutality.

She is the wrong kind of Jew.

Maybe Biden’s Antisemetism TaskForce can investigate this.

They weren't arrested for merely holding a banner.
They were arrested because authorities had told the protesters to leave the premises..... the encampment was illegal.
They did not comply.

She was not simply trying to "protect" students.
There is a reason this person did not link a video.

Well, that's a lie. They weren't arrested for holding a banner. They were arrested because they wouldn't leave the encampment, just like all the other protesters.

Matt Barreto, a professor of Chicano studies and political science, stood under a blue-and-gold banner that read "UCLA Faculty and Staff, We Stand with Our Students."

Barreto said he was one of about 30 faculty and staff members who were in the encampment and willing to be arrested alongside students.

UCLA is a public university. The faculty’s right to hold a banner in protest is not only righteous, it’s protected by law.

Once again: they weren't arrested for holding a banner. They were arrested along with all the other protesters for REFUSING TO LEAVE. Please get your facts straight.

Sure it is.
But, being present on the grounds where the administration had ordered vacated is NOT protected by law.
That is why they were arrested.
Why can't you understand this?

Once again for fascists like you: they have the constitutional right to protest and peacefully assemble on the grounds of a public university. Go get AIPAC to void the constitution.
