You sound jealous.

Not at all. I'm a parent whose adult kids were raised to be responsible, honest, caring, and hard-working adults.

What a good little sheep you raised.

And I bet your kid is wearing a mask outdoors at protest harassing and threatening people while being coddled in the bosom of a progressive bubble.

Really brave.

This country was founded on revolution and protests. I’m sure you’ve heard of free speech and the right to assemble, etc. You’re just mad because these students are bringing awareness to an issue that has been swept under the rug for far too long.

silliness

these are just bored, self-hating rich kids who've never been anywhere near any of the stuff they've appointed themselves to judge

wonder what the average household income is of the kids leading these protests

You make that sound like a bad thing but I'm not progressive in any way - I just believe in the American right to protest. Remember the Boston Tea Party? We'd still be a colony if you were in charge back then.

Free speech does not include threatening and intimidating other students simply because they are Jewish. Nor does it mean choosing which laws you decide to follow as part of your protest. You cannot block public streets, camp out where ever the hell you want, and disturb the peace and call it "free speech."
Other people have rights too. They seem not to recognize this fact.

Arresting 19-year-olds that are protesting a genocide is a GROSS misuse of power. This is a travesty. What happened to America? This is Joe Biden’s America?!

I have mixed feelings about the protests but one could argue that the students are putting their education to work. They are trying to make change happen. Textbook studying is only good up to a certain point. Sometimes you learn more from real life in one day than you can learn from a textbook in one year.

I don't view protests as "real life." If you have that kind of free time, get a job and learn what real life is all about. These protests are being done by privileged kids at elite schools who think nothing of disturbing the learning and safety of other students.

Agree. Elitist kids are making a cesspool of these institutions. How will Democrats get out of this sh*tshow?

The only folks allowed to protest unobstructed in this country are white supremacists.

No Jew is being threatened, snowflake. There are Jewish students protesting against Israel. Are you daft?

Biden is too busy trying to figure out how to send more aid to Israel or he's asleep at the wheel.

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.

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

DP.

You criticize the government and/or the military response, but you don’t call for its annexation or elimination.

You don’t celebrate or support acts of terror against Israel.

You refrain from blood libels against Jews.

Pretty easy. I manage it all the time.

But people have gathered in person at rallies to do this and have been criticized. So, how do you manage to do this?

Republicans get a hard on just thinking about Isreal for some reason.
