USC and Columbia Protests

[Anonymous]

Well, the protests on the Ivy league campuses have replaced the porous Mexican border as the reason to support Trump on Fox news. Their current headline is "Antisemitism Anarchy: Violent backdrop to this year's Passover as tensions flare at Ivy League universities with violent anti-Israel agitators unleashing chaos."

I do think that some of the protestors *want* to get Trump elected. You know, to resolve the inherent contradictions in late-stage capitalism or some other BS.

That said - I was watching some of the videos this morning, and was struck by just how annoying these protesters are. It reminded me of the Occupy encampments (which weren't as anti-semitic, from what I recall) - but in look, feel, tone, behavior. I remember those irritating call and repeat chants, the high pitched whiny voices of those leading them, the whole thing.

When did young people get so annoying? Was it always so?

Rebels without a cause. They are cosplaying peace activists while wishing death on Jews and saying "we are Hamas". It's a movement empty of actual humanitarian motivations. All they are left with are death chants, screams, hidden faces...Basically a temper tantrum for bored, nasty entitled kids. They could actually unite for women's rights, under threat in this country, right now, but it's too much work and not cool enough of a cause.

Their cause is solid and just. That’s why you feel so disturbed. That’s why Jewish violent Columbia professors feel enraged enough to agitate at the encampments.

DP.

Parts of their cause are just. Support for Palestinian autonomy, calls for peace and humanitarian aid, and criticisms of Israel are not only fair game, but deserving of widespread support.

Unfortunately, those folks have allied themselves with people who call for the destruction of Israel, support/justify Hamas, and engage in overtly antisemitic acts.

By allowing and supporting this, the protesters have irreversibly tainted their cause and done a horrible disservice to Palestinians.

When you lose the Universities and colleges you have lost the war.

You mean the universities that charge hundreds of thousands of dollars for a crap education? University enrollment is going down because people are realizing it’s a joke and a waste of money.

My crap education got me a job that pays me several hundred thousand dollars a year, but you do you.

My brother makes several hundred thousand dollars and is in complete control of his time. He dropped out of college.

so the fine- if teh universities are so useless, dont go or send your kids? Also these protests are NOTHING compared to the protests these kids boomer/hippie grandparents got up to during the Nixon administration. I think that antisemitism is a real problem- you can see how deeply embedded it is but just feeling afraid b/c you are different is something that every other minority on campus faces, If you want the sympathy you have to also endure teh sufferring- yourselves, not hand me down suffering from your grandparents.

? Are you saying it's a GOOD thing Jewish kids are faced with antisemitism on campus? Would you say that about any other group?

I wouldn't, and I would tell my protesting student to stop or tuition won't be paid by us.

This is why the trend of parents paying for college these days is ridiculous. An 18yo should not be leashed in by their parents every time mommy or daddy don’t like their thoughts or actions. No wonder kids are so anxious.

Since the protesting students are now being suspended and evicted from their dorms, it would be awesome to see the homeless moved into their rooms on campus.

Israel supporters: I can excuse genocide, but I draw the line at kids protesting genocide.

One of the kid protesters is a big exec daddy's girl who killed two people and paid a $200 fine for it. Another one lives in a 3 mil mansion in Georgia, another one has mommy in Congress and is now crying homeless and starving. They are just a bunch of idiots and really are giving Columbia a bad name,

These kids seem perfectly comfortable advocating for a genocide of all Jews.

America seems to be having its Pravda moment. I have yet to read a report in the corporate media in which readers are given any evidence at all about what students have said on any of these campuses that constitutes "anti-Semitism."

For me, it's more like:

I'd join protests for peace and a two-state solution, and even in punishing the current Israeli government, but I won't join calls for the elimination of Israel or cheer on Hamas.

Because those things would be as horrible (or more horrible) than what Israel is doing.

So your extremism has lost me and the many, many people like me.

Then you're not reading carefully.

Blood libel poster against Chemerinsky. Blood libel poster at Harvard.

Obvious and overt antisemitism. Not even arguably about Israel--only about Jews.

What annoys you is music to the ears of others. Students are protesting against repression and you find them somewhat grating. Go figure.
