[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Until you have kids on campus and have been blocked or hurt going to class you cannot say it is not happening. It’s bad enough that there is so much antisemitism all over moco high schools.  These naysayers also believe the Holocaust did not happen.

Antisemitism is a real problem. You can disguise it change it but many posting here are antisemetic. Columbia has a problem. People should not feel threatened to go to class ever.

Has this happened to kids you know or were you only told it happened? I was at Columbia during the protests last spring. they were peaceful. however, there were anti-protest agitators (ie pro zionist) outside the gates (non students) that were intimidating. My sister lives in LA and reported the same think about UCLA. [/quote]
I would love your explanation of what "peaceful" and "intimidating" means.
For example, is covering the face with a mask a-la Hamas a mark of a peaceful protester?[/quote]

I have no problem with masks ([b]the students were justifiably nervous about doxing after what happened to the Harvard students[/b]). But for the most part I did not see masked students.

Getting into my face and yelling I do have a problem with.

The yelling in my face is what I saw anti-protesters to protesters last spring.  I know this happened to Jewish students too in a few reported cases, but it is unclear that there were more cases of Jewish students being harassed than the protesters being harassed.

Therefore the punishment of one group seems biased. [/quote]

If they are proud of supporting Hamas, why wear masks?  Also, is it doxxing to report truthful information that someone was participating in a protest in public?[/quote]

Doxxing is not just report truthful info.  It is reporting information designed to harm someone.   Why is it okay for Harvard students to have employment positions pulled for simply signing a letter supporting Palestinians? [/quote]

As  you always say - freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. Most employers don’t want to employ terrorist sympathizers. [/quote]

If the Harvard letter had just stuck to empathizing with civilians caught in the crossfire, or the need for humanitarian aid (supervised to ensure it wasn't stolen and resold by Hamas on the black market to buy weapons), then the doxxing wouldn't have happened.

Here, if the pro-Palestinian protestors had just waved signs and chanted slogans, that would be fine as far as the First Amendment goes. But they didn't. They went way beyond this. Their behavior is reminiscent of the Ruby Bridges scenario 65 years ago.  Instead of Federal Marshals, Trump chose to pull funding until Columbia enforced its own rules. He can do this, and Columbia will have only itself to blame for any lost research. [/quote]
