You’re literally prolonging the destruction of Gaza with this attitude. Good job.

No. The US funds both Israel and Palestine. Other than that, this is their mess, not ours. Israel is more democratic than Palestine, hence our support, as well as a few other reasons, both current and historical. Palestine is more benighted and pitiable, hence our support. These students have a ways to go before they are the future of the US or the future of the Middle East.

I hate that these schools are getting painted with broad brushstrokes by a hyperventilating media desperate for content. At UCLA it was literally like 200 protestors - some of whom don't even attend the school - out of a student body of 30,000.

Insane that these clowns are getting so much attention, but the media LOVES this type of content that sucks all the oxygen out of the room.


Schools are allowing this. Why are 5% of students plus unauthorized non students allowed to hijack campuses?


DP.

Protesting is fine. Fair game. Part of the college experience.

Universities just need to enforce their time/place/manner restrictions so it doesn't disrupt other students' education.

And arrest non-students for trespass.


I agree that’s what’s reasonable and should be expected, but the professors/administrators/all the higher ups are sympathetic to the protests and allowed them to go on too long. Now they’ve lost control to a mob of a bunch of random agitators from outside the university community. If they had nipped the illegal encampments in the bud, we wouldn’t be here right now.


+1 Exactly!!

I don't love that it's from Fox news but no way in hell that's a college student. A-hole paid protestors doing nothing but stirring up division.

At what point do these college students need to take some responsibility for the divisive people protesting alongside them?

Why couldn't that be a college student?

He looks to be a 45 year old fentanyl addict?

Well, I certainly can't determine his age, nor that he's an addict based on what little I see of him (his eyes, nose, and belly.)

But 45 year old addicts can also be college students.

Keep voting for your own destruction and you’ll get it. Time to grow up.

At Columbia?

I mean, the number has to be vanishingly small.

I'd wager a significant amount that he's not a student.

I didn't realize that pic was from Columbia, but still--I don't think we can determine from that pic that the person is 45 or a drug addict.

At Columbia, privileged radicals break glass and attack facilities workers…the ones who will have to clean up the broken glass these scum caused…This is why Trump is going to get more of the Black vote than Cornel West and Jill Stein

At Columbia? Here in the real world? I guess anything is possible. But def. not probably. It’s not exactly. a school brimming with nontraditional students.
