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

Yes, what an incredible education they're getting in their tents, making signs and yelling at passerby. I'd be so proud!

First hand experience is the best education,. They are getting to know their country, beyond the propaganda.

If orga and schools continue to say "no" to your demands, what's next? Remember, they have the option to say "no" in reality.

Actually, this applies to the U.S. govt. If the U.S. govt continues to say "no", what are you going to do?

Sure but protests like these can impact public perception and effect change. Look at the anti Anti Vietnam protests and SA disinvestment.

Instead of scoffing at these protesters why don’t you look at why they feel so strongly. Maybe there is something there. Of course it’s easier to write them off as idiots…

So I need to do what they say because they are angry--no I will not cower to mob rule

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.

Ultra bright, accomplished and hardworking???!!

LOL

Tell me you’ve never had a child go through the college admissions process without telling me you’ve never had a child go through the college admissions process

I have and they are the cream of the crop. That’s what gets you so enraged, they are not the unwashed masses.

Um... the unwashed masses are right here, screaming at police officers - spot your kids?

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

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.

You are the one who is ignorant of international law. Rules of diplomacy apply for countries that have diplomatic relations. Iran does not recognize that Israel (“the Zionist entity”) exists so why should Israel recognize a terrorist safe house as an embassy.

Change of this magnitude is not achieved without making some people uncomfortable, if that’s the only price Jewish kids have to pay then they should consider themselves very lucky. There are 14000 children buried under concrete in Gaza who would have given anything to endure some minor discomfort.

So you're saying Jewish students should just suck it up and accept the harassment, much of it aggressive and violent? You need serious help.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said on X that threatening Jewish students with violence is antisemitism. “The First Amendment protects the right to protest but students also have a right to learn in an environment free from harassment or violence,” the Democratic governor said.

In a statement, New York Mayor Eric Adams said the city’s police department has an “increased presence of officers” in the area around Columbia’s campus “to protect students and all New Yorkers on nearby public streets.”

The Democratic mayor said he was “horrified and disgusted with the antisemitism being spewed at and around the Columbia University campus.”

They ARE the propaganda. They are siding with Hamas, as are you.

Stupidly outrageous comment, you think students being chased out of lectures and having their mezuzahs torn down and having pro terrorist people yell in their faces ‘discomfort’?
Israelis were murdered in cold blood. And non Israelis too. How dare you.
