The Presidents of Harvard, MIT, Penn, Columbia should be forced to resign

Now your true colors are showing. I guess Hitler and his Palestinian Grand Mufti buddy didn't murder enough Jews when they had the chance, right?

 

I didn’t write that?

 

I guess they can order this off at Walmart as well

its clear this is a political movement that is based on communism

 

I’m noticing a trend, they want communism, they hate America and the flag, they love that 10/7 happened and celebrate the murder, rape and mutilation of Jewish people.

 

One quote reads, “Political power comes from the barrel of the gun.” This is a famous statement by the founder of the People’s Republic of China Chairman Mao Zedong. Mao, a Marxist, is responsible for an estimated 40-80 million deaths due to starvation, prison labor and mass executions. ..which only reinforces the movement isn’t about caring about lives.

they are utilizing extremely unreliable death numbers cited by Hamas (which makes no difference of Hamas deaths) as a fake outrage cover for an actual desire that is quite clear

 

Mandela had a moral case. Arafat did not.

 

I’m surprised Antifa hasn’t destroyed more glass, they typically hate glass but the vandalism and destruction is what I expected…Chop city coming back

 

From the morning news it sounds like the UCLA encampment is being cleared now.

 

Israelis view Hamas as an existential threat, and they consider civilian casualties to be an unfortunate but acceptable consequence given the alternative of not acting strongly. From what I last checked, IIRC, around 70-80% of Israelis support completely eliminating Hamas, even at the cost of civilian deaths. The 20-30% opposing the current military campaign is a significant minority, they are still completely outnumbered. Netanyahu is horrible, but with 70-80% public backing of the military campaign against Hamas, it's unlikely that the military offensive against Hamas would change dramatically under a different leader. A new administration could potentially enforce stricter safeguards to reduce civilian harm, prioritize humanitarian aid more heavily, and refine public messaging. That should hellp lower the rate of civilian casualties... and maybe that's enough to calm things to eventually lead to a potential political solution instead of a potential genocide that IMO, will come back and hunt Israle for many generations.

 

Maybe it's mostly lip service and a chance for protesters to feel good, but...

Protesters got a future vote on divestment and stopped protesting. This might surprise some who think they aren't actually protesting for divestment.

Acknowledging the issue of massive loss of civilian life goes a long way. It's a fact, so it shouldn't be hard. You aren't weak for acknowledging real things.

Other universities might want to consider this approach instead of policing their way out of it.


Brown becomes first US university to consider divesting from Israel

Pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel protesters clear encampment on campus after coming to agreement with university administration

Brown University reached an agreement on Tuesday with students protesting the war in Gaza that would see them remove their encampment from school grounds in exchange for the institution considering divesting from Israel.

The move represents the first major concession from an elite American university amid relentless student protests that have paralyzed campuses across the country, divided public opinion and led to hundreds of arrests.

In a statement, Brown president Christina Paxson said students had agreed to end their protests and clear their camp by 5 p.m. local time Tuesday and “refrain from further actions that would violate Brown’s conduct code through the end of the academic year.”

In turn, “five students will be invited to meet with five members of the Corporation of Brown University in May to present their arguments to divest Brown’s endowment from ‘companies enabling and profiting from the genocide in Gaza.'”

The board will vote on the proposal in October.

Student protesters jumped for joy upon hearing the news of the deal and chanted “with love not fear, divestment is getting near” before beginning to remove their tents.

“We are ending (the encampment) knowing that we made a huge victory for divestment at Brown, for this international movement and a victory for the people of Palestine,” said Brown student Leo Corzo-Clark.

The university, located in Providence, Rhode Island, “has come to the table to listen to our demands and to listen to its students and to consider divesting from war, divesting from death, divesting from occupation,” said Sam Theoharis, another student protester.

The campus demonstrations have posed a major challenge to university administrators across the country who are trying to balance commitments to free expression with complaints that the rallies have veered into antisemitism and hate speech.

In her statement, Paxson said, “The devastation and loss of life in the Middle East has prompted many to call for meaningful change, while also raising real issues about how best to accomplish this.”

But she added: “I have been concerned about the escalation in inflammatory rhetoric that we have seen recently and the increase in tensions at campuses across the country.”

In a statement on Monday, Columbia’s president Minouche Shafik said that the university would not divest from Israel but would invest in Gaza as the protests at the New York university continued in full force.

 

How many people have died as a result of the campus protests? I am assuming the number must be rather high based on the hysteria I have seen on social media.

 

This is the only one I’m aware of in any of the protests going back months. All the more reason LA should’ve been on a bit more of alert.
