This young adults, because they are no longer kids, are so clueless it’s beyond amazing. Eventually reality is going to bitch slap them so hard.
Their parents should be completely shamed for raising such anti-semitic, lazy, worthless members of society.
Other parents should be raving mad and calling the school demanding reimbursement of their children’s tuition who aren’t part of this nonsense.
But this is where we are today. This is what DECADES of progressive Democrat entrenched bullshit in schools in the media, in corporations have done to this country. Everything has come to fruition for all to see. Anyone who is surprised by this is truly clueless.
Voting for Biden and any Democrat is an absolute continuation of this disgraceful continuation of where this country is going.
Students for Justice in Palestine has been a threat to Jewish students for 2 decades. Many have tried to point it out but were rebuffed and ignored by not only the universities, but the legacy Jewish organizations. (I know I harp on this topic, but people need to be held to account)
Don't fool yourself, none of these protests are spontaneous. This has been planned for along time and it is not students organizing these protests. There are professional agitators involved. These groups are also funded by the Tides Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, and Alex Soros' foundation.
At least Fordham University saw the antisemitism associated with this group and banned them. BTW-Brandeis which got an A from the ADL, has an SJP chapter and welcomed Jew haters to its campus, but banned Ayaan Hirsi Ali, so not sure how they got an A.
CAIR, which condemned USC for its handling of the protests, is aligned with Hamas, and its leaders are unindicted coconspirators in the HolyLand terror financing trial . But still Obama and Biden welcomed these groups to the White House and if anyone forgets the Biden Administration had CAIR chime in on its antisemitism task force, despite their leaders spouting virulent antisemitism calling for the destruction of Israel for decades. At least they were removed from the task force for their support of the Oct 7 pogrom. Even Biden's most Jew-hating apparachicks couldn't make excuses for that.
Saying UNRWA should be disbanded and folded into UNHCR is also not new. UN Watch has been pointing out, again for decades, how Hamas controls UNRWA from distribution of food to schools. Also, Einat Wilf cowrote a very detailed book about UNRWA and how it perpetuates the conflict in her book The War of Return.
And surprise surprise, young people are not radical, they are not commies, they don't hate the US. They only want what everyone else wants, a good life and to be able to build a future.
And yes, young men are in danger...again the warnings have been there for 20 years at least. Maybe it's time to do something about it.
American men are in crisis, says everyone, but also—importantly—surgeon general Dr. Vivek Murthy. Young men and boys feel “unmoored,” and “lost,” according to the doctor, and that people are “pointing their fingers at them and telling them you are the problem.”
Well, of course, they are. What red blooded American young man wouldn't be if the dating pool consisted of "Ariella [who] goes by they/them pronouns) [and] likes to organize stuff. Most of these young women at Columbia would have been shipped off to lunatic asylums in a saner America.
The Columbia descent into spoilt-brat-mobstering raises (for me anyway) a long-overdue question........how can the worst of these SJW blots on our civilisation be suitably be brought to account. For 50+ years we Western liberals have indulged them and indulged them and, in effect, encouraged more of same. Now it's time to ask how can they be brought to account for:
* their gall and presumption in thinking they have any rightful place in institutions of 'higher learning.'
* their wilful aquisition and nurture of ignorance at the taxpayers expense
* their passive-aggressive spite and bile towards their fellow man thinly dressed up as virtue.
It may seem very non-pc but one can't help feeling that some kind of retribution (punishment even) - something akin to the stocks of former times - is what this kind of academia wokerati behavior richly deserves....I wish I knew how it could be brought about but I've no idea.
Student protests ... Two days ago, I watched a Fox News reporter who interviewed a protester. When asked to identify the "river" and the "sea", the student protester was unable to name either. Only one example, but a confirmation that some (and probably many) students involved have no understanding of what they are protesting.
Other people interviewed said that the events of 7 October never happened!
Furthermore, as indicated in this FP report, the protests have been infiltrated by people who are not students. Where are they coming from?
And the news just in from Scotland -- Yousaf has terminated his power sharing agreement with the Greens.
Although some commentators will mention the abandoning of the climate change targets being the fissure, it was more likely that Ash Regan (the former contender for the SNP leadership but)the now Alba MSP) petition for a vote of No Confidence in Patrick Harvie, the co-leader of the Scottish Greens after his science denying remarks re the Cass Report which made Yousaf act. Apparently many of the SNP MSP backbench were willing to go along with the NC vote. Lorna Slater, the other co-leader of the Scottish Greens rather game away with her final statement Slater "ends the statement by urging SNP members who cared about the climate, trans rights and independence to consider whether they were in the right party."
Why mention trans rights if they had no part in the spilt.
ANd for those who have been watching Mr Bates v the Post Office on Masterpiece Theatre, Angela van den Bogerd is giving evidence today. She is truly sorry but doesn't think she has done anything wrong because she never knowingly does anything wrong. The KC has pointed out the Orwellian language she used and the fact that she received an email about the remote access in 2010, not 2011. One can only hope that the subpostmasters get some justice. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/25/post-office-inquiry-live-latest/
"They’re camped out on a lawn in front of the main library, making friendship bracelets, painting scraps of cardboard, and gossiping about the Zionists on campus."
This makes perfect sense.
Years before I retired, I was inflicted with having periodically to accept individual and/or group art projects in lieu of written work; and so I had to preside over English classes that saw the kids drawing, coloring and, above all, chatting. Entire half-days were sometimes given over to such busy work all in the name of "shaking it up" and school spirit. Math, history, English -- kaput.
Some of what they produced was, of course, very good. These were intelligent kids. But the school does have an art department.
I did keep one particularly clever project produced by my advisees.
My students are past their college days. Still, I hate to think any are involved in these idiot protests. It would mean I didn't do my job.
These kids at Columbia seem to have way too much time on their hands, think way too much of themselves and zero sense or self awareness. I’m concerned so many parents are paying a ton of money for these kids to look like a Halloween Party is every day. Also, thinking…lazy narcissists who won’t work or study.
I think I have a simple solution for all these wanna be activists. Make them take a competency test. if they actually know the facts about what they're protesting they get a wrist band and can participate. If not then back to the dorms.
With all of our technology and medical advancements, shouldn't we be able to make a medical pill that when taken, makes absolutely stupid people like the Columbia protesters heads explode? Just think of how great things would be with that kind of results. Oh, and make sure their parents can take it also.
Dykes for Divestment? They need to hook up with my charity Homos for Hamas. Or how about Idiots for Islam? I saw one yesterday “Freedom and Equality in Palestine” and I thought “I know the drugs have gotten stronger since I was an undergraduate but really? I don’t think there is enough THC and LSD on Mother Earth for me to believe that delusion. Fortunately it appears as if at least my alma maters (UT and USC) have some sense and have sent the state troopers to crack down on these deluded clowns. If I were the Guv, I’d have the Lege empower me to load them all in a transport plane and drop them off in “Palestine” or further to Iran or Saudi Arabia and enjoy a lived experience of the freedoms and equality practiced there
“Americans’ top two long-range foreign policy goals are protecting the U.S. from terrorist attacks and reducing the flow of drugs into our country. (Pew) “ - how can this be true if the government allows and supports an open Southern border?
What’s the best case for the elite East Coast schools? The delusional and solipsistic matriculate there, are taught by the same types, and that keeps other colleges mostly free of crazies? So long Columbia, Hillsdale here we come!
Funniest line about the student protesters aligning with Hamas came from the Babylon Bee.
"Death to America! ... but pay off my student loan first!"
I laughed at Communist Coachella at Columbia 😂
