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?

I would be very proud if these were my kids.

Yes, we know, Ilhan.

Why don’t you send her Father/Uncle to pick her up? She said she’s homeless and starving since being arrested.

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

Goodness no, you must not listen to bright citizens of this country. You must take directives from the government of a foreign country.

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

I love you.

That’s not funny at all. It’s appalling. Children are starving in Palestine. They don’t go to school. They don’t have toys or electricity. 17,000 are orphaned right now.

Also, Israel killed human saints trying to deliver food in Palestine, so yours is a sickening comment.

The PP was responding to a comment suggesting the protestors go to Study Abroad for Palestine. If they are so committed to the cause, go to Gaza and do something productive with their lives.

RIP Biden. I’m GenX and am appalled. Beyond the pale.

Why do I have to listen to these students, just because they are really really passionate? Does might make right now?

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.

Through first hand experience and observations, we're getting to know them as well.

Yes, and YATA for doubling down. Sickening that you can joke like this. What if was your child. I have to exit this thread.

If you all are so committed to Israel then go and join the IDF, don’t dictate Americans what they can and can’t do in their own country. Infact, all Zionists should be in Israel right now fighting the good war but here they are trying to coast by posting comments from their comfortable porches.

I can confirm the electronic surveillance authorized by Biden is happening on college campuses in the DC area. My son works in IT Department on his campus and they can track all activity of all students using their network.

This is not an airport. No need to announce your departure.

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.

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.

35000 Gazans, majority women and children are buried under the rubble, I dare because I have a functioning moral compass. I felt equally sad the day Israelis were killed in cold blood and I feel the same for Palestinians. You, however are only outraged at the loss of Israeli lives, rest are not human to you. Discomfort is a very small price to pay in this war, like I said 14000 children would have loved to live a full life and endure some discomfort but their lives were not worth anything because they were Palestinians.

But the causing of discomfort has a goal: that is the issue. We don't have to agree with your goal. Hint--your goal isn't to end the war
