[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a bad precedent.  Letting a president decide which universities to fund based on ideology could end up going a completely different way under a different administration. This is not what funding decisions should be based on. [/quote]

This.... it's taking education to a dark place.[/quote]

It's not ideology here, it's behavior.  The administration is saying protests which cross into intimidation and hate speech are not going to be tolerated.  If colleges permit it, whether from inattentiveness or through a mistaken belief that free speech considerations require it, or if due to institutional sympathy for the message being propagated, the federal government will not provide financial support to the platform the colleges are providing.

Universities are not free-for-all, anything-goes zones.  They exist for a purpose, and that purpose is not to be a forum for the promotion of political positions through violence and intimidation towards anyone.

These actions reek of DEI, ironically.

The endless drama from those with personal investment in that part of the world is long past tiresome at this point.

Either emigrate there or STFU about the U.S. having any obligation to participate in this dysfunction.[/quote]

Says the Palestinian apologist, typing from the safety of her U.S. computer!  [/quote]

Why don’t you repay the US for all the aid you Israeli have taken from us? [/quote]

DP. Why should Israel need to repay anything?  The US chose to provide foreign aid to the only representative democracy in the Middle East. It felt supporting Israel was in the US best interest. Feel free to tell your representative that you don't agree. However, election have consequences. [/quote]

I guess you’re not following current events? Trump has demanded NATO and the Ukraine pay the US back. We cannot keep giving Israel, a double standard for everything. Israel must repay the US in full.

Oh in no way is Israel a democracy and supporting Israel is not in any way in the US interest. Pay up.[/quote]

Trump is also asking Israel to pay with his proposal to develop Gaza. I don’t think it’s actually going anywhere because it’s not a realistic idea but don’t think he’s not trying to recoup $. [/quote]

Are you kidding????? Ukraine is being strongarmed to basically give its natural resources to the US in exchange of vital military help while the country is being invaded and occupied by a much more powerful a foreign country that has a huge nuclear arsenal and is occupying over 20% of its territory. The US us behaving like a mafia type protector, pay me or your store may be destroyed. 
How can you compare this with Gaza? Trump would give Gaza free and clear to Israel, no Palestinians in it and Israel would be free to annex it and make it part of Israel. israel would pay to develop its own territory, Trump and his gang would just be in personally to gain money.

Do you want to compare the WH meeting with Zelenski with the one with Netanyhau? Because apparently we are now in money saving mode, no money to Ukraine no more money to Israel. Israel is a rich, developed country. They can put the hundreds of thousands of ultra-orthodox parasites to work (and draft them into the army). Miryam Adelson can shed some of her billions if Israel needs more[/quote]
