    Bibi put his people in harm's way from his abuse of the Palestinians. He is just perpetuating the violence.

    And those ones that have been arrested will finish college with a really useful degree such as Art History and enter the workforce with a student loan to repay and a criminal record.
    Should see employers snapping up that talent. :roflol:

    You are incorrect. At the first sign of danger, Israelis are rushed into nearby shelters. Pali leadership attacks and hides behind women and children so they can make more protesters. These protesters are creating more of what they are protesting against.

    lol, it took forever for them to react to the October 7 attacks, even with warning. Bibi knew it was coming. He wanted the incident to occur so he had an excuse to massacre Gaza. He used his people’s suffering as an excuse to fulfill his ambitions. Yeah, real brave, using his people and then slaughtering innocent civilians. Your hero is a real winner.

    Maybe Alan Bragg will bankrupt them in court for "attempting to change minds". But since no one there is named Trump they are probably out by now.

    "To sustain this level of blind support for Israel, the U.S. must erode its own democracy," said one foreign policy expert. "And that is what we see happening on U.S. campuses now."

    Remember the National Guard shooting students who protested the Vietnam War? The pigs haven't changed. They're at it again.

    Plenty of Jews including one who survived the holocaust are protesting Zionism and Netanyahoo. Jews understand the dangers and risks involved in sitting by and letting atrocities happen "because they didn't come for me".

    "There is a question of historical responsibility towards injustice, genocide, and fascism," said Stephen Kapos. "If you are indifferent, if you do not take a stand, you acquire a degree of guilt."

    Emory University economics professor Caroline Fohlin approached several police officers who were holding a student down on the ground on Thursday and demanded an explanation—but by the end of the day videos of her own arrest became some of the most widely circulated images of the rapidly spreading anti-war movement on college campuses across the U.S.

    As she knelt down to ask the university officers, "What are you doing?" another law enforcement agent grabbed her arm and pushed her away before repeatedly ordering her to "get on the ground."

    "Stop it!" Fohlin yelled before the officer pushed her to the ground and called for more police to help subdue her.

    Fohlin then screamed, "Oh my God!" as the police pushed her down and told the police that she was a professor at the university as they held her on the ground.

    Fohlin's arrest—after which she was detained for 11 hours and then charged with "battery of a police officer"—came a week after Columbia University suspended more than 100 students for setting up an encampment in solidarity with Gaza, where more than 34,000 Palestinians have been killed by the U.S.-backed Israel Defense Forces (IDF) since October, and allowed police to arrest them.

    Do you still "fully support it"?

    Does that determine the worth and validity of their protests in your mind?

    First there is a need to educate people of all positions and occupations on what antisemitism is versus what Zionism is. That is where the confusion lies and does its dirty work.

    Sounds like standard right wing intolerance.

    I just did a quick search for the term ‘to be trespassed’ and it’s good to go in how it was used on that flyer.

    Making claims that call for the thoughts of others comes at the expense of one’s own credibility. The surrounding region has been cleansed of Jews, Christians, atheists, gay people, non-Muslims and those critical of religion/government. That doesn’t put your side in a position to criticize ambitions. Anyone with a genuine concern for humanity would protest Pali leadership. Of course, that’s not safe.

    The OP was regarding the police action at NYU (not Emory)...
    I fully supported the police action at NYU...

    I didn’t know the word ‘trespassed’ could be used that way either.,

    Wrong - The #1 pile of BS occurred when a fundamental Muslim organization started genocide of Jews, trying to eradicate Israel as i promised in their chapter:
    https://irp.fas.org/world/para/docs/hamas-2017.pdf
    Students demonstration started BEFORE Israel responded to Oct 7 attack:
    https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2023/10/15/gaza-protest-harvard/

    Why demonstrated students didn't mention Hamas murders, rapes and kidnapping?
    IMHO - today Hamas and Palestinians are leading fashion, which is the best demonstrated in this clip:

    I am great supporter of Whataboutism, because you can learn from it.
    This Whatabout joke was a popular joke in communists countries:
    A new supercomputer was built in the USSR. It is tested by American journalists accredited in Moscow.
    – Which country produces the most steel?
    – In the USSR – the computer replies.
    – Which country produces the most electricity?
    – In the USSR.
    – Why there is not enough meat in USSR?
    Computer thinks, thinks and after a while answers:
    – … and in the US they lynch Blacks.

    And you can learn from it that USSR is world leader in steel and electricity production, that Blacks are lynched in the US and even soviet computer cannot figure why USSR is not capable to produce enough meat.

    You voted for Biden. If you think he is a pig for not standing with Palestine and oppressing student protestors, do you feel guilty for putting him into power? By your own source, Biden actions "erode its own democracy". I have been saying this for years now, it is good to see you admit it.
