Protests on college campuses

[Anonymous]

I really don’t understand why protesting this war is a whole ‘bother level of bad according to some. The stuff that is happening in Gaza is terrifying - and I think most people can agree with that. The only question is whether it’s justified. Having young people look at the situation in Gaza and demand an end to it surely is the least surprising thing in the world. And having some that step over the line and turn their frustration into anti Jewish rhetoric is also surely not surprising. Sure, deal with people who are endangering others. Or disrupting learning in serious ways against campus policy. But otherwise, let it be. And if some folks are offended, so be it. Look at the standards in our society. Protestors are allowed to hold pictures of fetuses outside an abortion clinic and harass patients. We are training our children to deal with unpleasant speech everywhere. I am not sure why donors have stepped in to squash speech. It’s weird to men.

They do, but I don’t think the Jewish or LGBTQ protestors understand that the people they are defending wouldn’t even have them over for dinner.

Seriously. These utter morons actually get their "news" from TikTok and lap it right up. They wouldn't last even a second in Gaza. But they'll stupidly keep on cheering for Hamas!

I know this is really hard for you to understand, so I'm gonna say it slowly. Two things can be wrong at the same time. And the response to something wrong should be proportional. So that means we don't support a genocide, even if those people have some backwards beliefs. Because life and death is a bigger issue proportionately to LGBT+ rights. Both important. Life and death comes first.

If Hamas wanted a proportional fight, then why not have it instead of hiding behind all those women and children? It's their battle strategy after all.

Is the Hamas boogeyman in the room? Do they wear a uniform? Or when you say Hamas do you really mean any Palestinian citizen? Just be honest. You hate those women and children just as much as any other Palestinian, which is why they are being targeted.

Also listen to yourself. If Hamas is using them as human shields, does it justify murdering them by the thousands?

You're sick. The dust will settle on this in a few years, and you'll be disgusted with yourself and what you cheered on.

You're genuinely unhinged.

There are more than a few posters like the PP who clearly have a few screws loose. How anyone can defend cowardly terrorists using their own people as human shields is beyond me.

Because you've chosen to frame it that way doesn't make it true, and not everyone agrees with you? You can even follow basic logic but want to accuse others of having screws loose. You're still getting your opinions spoonfed to you by the mainstream corporate media with a vested interest in you not thinking critically about anything they tell you.

Sorry - are you suggesting you somehow know better than the rest of us? That your disgusting support of Hamas is… enlightened?? Talk about zero ability to think critically. I wonder how you even make it through daily life since you’re clearly unable to distinguish right from wrong.

Obviously I think I'm right and you're wrong. That's the nature of opposing opinions. You really are a moron.

You do you. Maybe this thread and all your name calling helps you blow off some steam. Nothing is going to change. You are accomplishing nothing.

I've been called everything but a child of God in this thread, likely by you, but I'm the bad guy for pointing out the fact that you make no damn sense lol.

Things are changing. I have faith that justice will prevail. The boomers will eventually go extinct and the world will be better for it.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Also, boomers? I mean, boomers? On this thread?

Yes boomers. You all look at the world uncritically, eat up propaganda like it's a delicacy, and your overall selfish ethos is the root of soooooooooo many problems in the world today. I truly believe the world will be better when the led paint generation is no longer with us.

Psssst…. Sweetheart the word is “lead.”

My point exactly. I made a mistake. You understood my meaning. But instead of engaging with the substance of what I said, we're now talking about spelling. The world is literally on fire, but y'all cant get your heads out of your asses long enough to try fix it. But we are somehow the morally bankrupt idiots. We didn't make this mess.

Boomers didn’t make the mess they inherited either.

But they did learn to spell.

Making a mistake and not knowing how to spell are two different things. You lack critical thinking and logic skills, which was my point. Anyone not blinded by decades of propaganda can look at this situation and see who is in the wrong here. But your generation has justified colonialism, imperialism, apartheid, and racism routinely, so I'm not surprised you all have found yourselves on the wrong side of history once again.

Critical thinking = knowing that posters in this site are almost entirely Gen X and Millennials. Not Boomers.

Lol that you believe you can know this without any substantive proof, while trying to come for my critical thinking skills is hilarious. This site has been around for a looong time, and it's always been boomer as hell.

Your inability to discuss the substance is also hilarious. You have no actual argument so you attack my spelling. You're a joke.

DP. Are you ok? You need to calm down. Did your arrest and subsequent suspension/expulsion trigger you? Best of luck as you navigate your new position as a pariah in society.

FYI, there are a number of posters responding to you. And you’re the one that went all-in on the boomer thing without substantive proof. You incessantly insult. You’re all over the place and just not very good at this.

Lol right. You can devine whose posts are whose on this very Anonymous forum. You think you know everything. It'd truly be funny if zombies like you weren't out here mindlessly voting however the party tells you to, believing whatever the party tells you to, carrying water for their genocide.

It's "divine." And wow, the irony!

You can absolutely tell by posting style. It doesn’t require somebody to divine identity. This isn’t difficult.

Right. You can guess, sure, but you act like you know for sure and you don't. You just look silly speaking in absolutes and certainties, trying to act as though you know something I don't.

DP. Well, we all know for sure that you have zero self-awareness and a very low IQ.

They're utter cowards. Who, of course, are demanding amnesty from their schools and from being arrested. Too funny.

My kid absolutely does. But for her, that doesn’t matter. She demands, based on our faith, that all are treated according to our principles. As an example, it is harder to argue against the death penalty if you are faced with a man who has raped and murdered a young mom in front of her traumatized children. But if you do not believe the state has a right to take a citizen’s life as a punishment, then the nature of the crime doesn’t matter. It isn’t easy to live.

Commencement at Columbia is May 15 and the tent city is occupying the space where it will happen. (That's why USC canceled their commencement, fyi.)

The protestors are being evicted.

Oh, then your kid must have been absolutely horrified by the atrocities committed on Oct. 7! Did she speak out then? No? Why not?

How cute that she “demands.” Why don’t you send her to Gaza and let her do her demanding there?

Oh and btw if this faith you speak of is Christian she should have some awareness of evil in the world. And the mandate to eradicate it.

Which is fine. If the policy of the school says that protestors do not have the right to disrupt commencement or other major events, sure, evict them. My understanding of USC was refusing to allow a selected speaker to speak based on social media posts and/or ethnicity. Of course that is going to enrage people.

She can demand until the cows come home and you don’t have to listen to her. But she is free to believe this is the way US society should behave. And why would I send her to Gaza? Do you think I am crazy?

Of course she is free to believe whatever she wants. Most of us were stupid at her age, too.

Are these students still going to class and/or taking exams? How many of them will not return to campus in the fall because they failed out?

You do realize that many of the protesters aren’t students? And aren’t in any way affiliated with the schools?
