Be that as it may, they are still willing to challenge the Zionists, who have made it clear they'll do everything they can to destroy the lives and livelihoods of their political opponents. |

You're the guy here spouting off in an anonymous forum. Every single one of them has more courage and conviction than you. 1000X so. Plus, they got into Columbia, something you could never have accomplished. |
Columbia admin is worse than NKorea. They called cops on their own students. Screw Columbia. |
You are proud of kids calling for "Intifada" and calling people "Dirty Jews?" WOW... way to teach your kids skills of political persuasion. |
For good reason. Shame they didn’t call sooner. Now my firm is just waiting on the names of the participants so we can make sure not to hire them. |
As we can see from every other thread, the reputation of Columbia is basically in free fall. Add in the recent drama with the Harvard president. Mix in the decline in applications to Brown this year. And I think it safe to say that there are going to be a lot of students choosing schools other than the Ivy League colleges in the years ahead. |
Wishful thinking and post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacies as you have no evidence to support the claim. And you know it, Comrade. |
99.5% of all students "choose" non-ivies. If they don't protest at ivies, they'll be protesting at state universities. Ivies will have no trouble filling their classes. Those who decline will be doing a huge favor for wait-listed students. |
Nice. Nothing really shows the power imbalance better than this statement. I am glad my kid is not protesting (although she believes that Israel is acting terribly and did march earlier in the year). She (correctly, in my view) determined that she didn't want to get caught up in violence or illegal behaviors. I think the students are allowing a level of poor behavior in these protests but I dont really know how you prevent that. That being said, for those who say these are "coddled snowflakes" with "nothing on the line", see above. They are being blacklisted, their schools are being pressured to not listen to them by wealthy donors, etc. That is not nothing. |
There’s a yurt at Hampshire with your name on it! Mazel tov! |
Yes, I agree they are amazingly brave to torment Jewish students, many of whom probably play intramural squash. On the other hand, I made it through the US Navy’s desert survival school, so I’m pretty sure wouldn’t die of dehydration if I was in a building with probably 20 bathrooms in it. |
Just in case you missed it…

It’s not like they knew there was a lot on the line & overcame the fear. Unless, of course, you think the same people who didn’t have the foresight to bring a gluten-free sandwich & a bottle of Evian to an occupation had considered all the high-tech ways future employees could identify them as members of the legendary 47th Whiners Brigade that seized Hamilton Hall in ‘24. Also, if you think the kiddies knew they were risking their futures, I guess you missed the part about how as soon as they learned that not everybody was hailing them as heroes, these valiant warriors started demanding immunity faster than you can say “Hamas enabler.” |
