When I’m reviewing resumes, these Ivy school applications are going into the circular file.


They are ultra bright, accomplished and hardworking as evidenced by their acceptance to IVYs. They are also willing to fight for what they believe in. Meet your future competitors.

The Unreality of Columbia’s ‘Liberated Zone’
What happens when genuine sympathy for civilian suffering mixes with a fervor that borders on the oppressive?

By Michael Powell


Wow. What a bunch of vacuous dimwits.

I suggest they sign up for Study Abroad in Palestine next semester.

And I would have preferred that Hamas didn't commit mass murder of 1200 civilians and kidnapping of 250 others on October 7. But we don't always get what we prefer.

Truly amazing that this has to be reiterated over and over.


To you and the PP:

What did 10/7 justify Israel to do in response, since you very clearly cannot get past 10/7 and believe Israel was an innocent bystander previously?

What did 10/7 justify as a response from Israel?


Ok since you believe 10/7 was just another day in a long war let the war continue without complaining.


That’s how sick, uncivilized people tend to think. Civilized people seek solutions.

Yes, the US supports the underdog Israel. Last week, Iran, a country with eight times the population of Israel, sent a wave of drones, ballistic and cruise missiles, toward Israel. Fortunately, with US military assistance, Israel was able to shoot down 99% of the incoming explosives. and the only serious injury was to a 7-year old Bedouin girl. Would the people objecting to military assistance to Israel, preferred that there were instead massive casualties?


Would prefer that they do not attack the embassy of the other country.

Would prefer that Iranian embassies not harbor known terrorists like Mohammed Reza Zahedi.

Would prefer that Iran establish diplomatic relations with Israel — as Egypt and Jordan have done — so that rules of diplomacy apply

They are feeling great, their children are getting an education vs. an overpriced worker training program.

I don’t take directions related to what I expect of my country from someone who doesn’t have U.S. interests first, second and last on their list of priorities.

BREAKING: Columbia University President announces it’s time “to move forward with a plan to dismantle” the pro-Palestine encampment, gives organizers a midnight deadline to do so as part of a comprehensive agreement with the administration.

Hahaha, not very educated now, are they?
One of tents displays "Hindus for Intifada." Apparently they're not self-aware or informed enough to protest the pogroms that 200 million Muslims in India are being increasingly subjected to. Have you heard of H-POP?

Your preferences are irrelevant. You have zero understanding of International Law. Embassies are sacred no matter the reasons and no matter how brutal the war. That’s what separates states from a bunch of thugs. There is no precedent for what Israel did, because Israel is no longer a state, just a bunch of thugs.
