USC and Columbia Protests

Anonymous


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.

Are you out of your mind? 33k people in Gaza killed with many more INNOCENT women and children injured/left hungry. WTF? Impressively restrained - are you sick? So are you suggesting 33k are too few?

Looks like mainstream America is sick of your Middle Eastern wars. Look at Candance Owens, Tucker Carlson. They are all sick of your wars.


Perhaps. But mainstream America always sides with Israel over Hamas. You won’t find a single “we support Palestine” flags in middle America, but you see “we support Israel” flags everywhere.

There is nothing mainstream America despises more than coddled, privileged rich kids “protesting” something which they know nothing about.


Yeah, well, we supported slavery and opposed suffrage and civil rights pretty ardently at points in time, too. That's the camp you're in now - wouldn't want to be pro-Israel in the coming years as reckoning starts to arrive with little to no notice.


While the US left supported Stalin (!) and Mao.

Maybe that’s the camp you’re in now—or do you think that Palestinians are going to be a beacon of civil rights and pluralism? (Snort)

As an atheist I prefer my chances with Zionists who support Israel over any future Islamicist intifada.

Thanks for the concern though.

Anti semitism should not include being able to stand up for Palestine/Gaza. I really feel strongly that Jews who keep putting down these protesters are in the wrong. It's not about whether the protesters are right but that they should be allowed to express their sentiments without being attacked publicly. People don't understand that universities have always been the battlefront of intense political dialogue - education is where ideas and thoughts are expressed and absorbed. Questioning and debate, considerations and strong sentiments are the way the young learn. To take away the rights of these kids is basically censorship.


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.


Stop being a snowflake. There are JEWISH students participating in the protests. Are they also subjected to "antisemitism" and violence? Present your evidence. These kids have no power to do anything but to voice their opinions on the matter - they lack the ability to make policy changes to end the genocide in Gaza. You should worry about the AIPAC crowd that owns your politicians, especially your Zionist president, Genocide Joe.


Sometimes I think that all of the other crap the dems put forth is merely to divide and conquer us as a country. Look to the one issue that US Politicians refuse to debate (support for Israel). I mean these people FIGHT about everything. Democrats and Republicans take a side that seems to be opposite on nearly every issue - except this one...

Hamas and islamist terrorism = Evil. RIP.

Zionism = Evil. RIP.

See how that works?

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.


It is pretty funny to watch the leftists eat their own. It’s too bad that a once aspirational school like Columbia has to be destroyed in the process, but oh well. The popcorn is worth it


Columbia is not being destroyed, Columbia is engaging in its primary function as an institution of higher learning and thought leadership. Plutocrats in power can't cope with dissent.


Ha. Nice try. The president is in crisis. Classes are being held online. Professors warned to stay away because their safety can’t be guaranteed. Hundreds of students have turned the beautiful lawn into a cesspool homeless camp.

But no, nothing to see here. Everything is just peachy.

ALL Jewish professors were warned to stay away. I guess that needs to be spelled out for you.

Good work, kids.


The Wall Street Journal just reported that 60% of Americans disagree with how Biden has handled the conflict.

Six months later, I find the silence of my Jewish friends as deafening as these students’ protests.

I will blame both of those parties.

Oh and by the way, there are now pallets of bricks on the campus. I’m sure that’s coincidental and for some random renovation.

That is a lie. There are plenty of good Jewish professors at Columbia who unequivocally DO NOT support Israel's actions.

Why do we, as atheist Americans, even have to choose?

How do you “correctly” criticize Israel? Posting on anonymous boards? Telling your friends? Putting a Canva pdf on IG?

That is true. But out of abundance of caution/ safety concerns blah blah blah the school suggested that Jewish professors and staff not enter the campus
