I have zero time to engage with someone framing these protests like this whenever there are 10 pages of evidence to the contrary. Just stop.

Code for, you have no argument because there isn't one.

 

I don't care if there's 100 pages that agree with you. I've seen it with my own eyes. I'm sure you have too and are willfully choosing to ignore it. And before you call me a zionist, I am against any innocent citizens or children being hurt, anywhere, by anyone.  However, these protesters are a perfect example of "the road to hell is paved with good intentions."

Who do you view as innocent? Because I have a sneaking suspicion your criteria is not the same.

Likely not, as my view of innocence comes from my inner sense of morality, and not Tik Tok.

 

Welp, Good luck with just everything!

Go ahead, say the quiet part out loud, tell us who you view as innocent or not :)

Some of them. Let's not pretend there's not calls for murder and support of Hamas slaughter mixed in there as well, k? They are also targeting people who have literally nothing to do with the conflict and are merely Jewish students and workers trying to get through their day. 

Yessss poor innocent students getting stabbed in the eyes chile. I'm glad our inner sense of morality lets us know that Sahar Tartak and friends are the victims instead of the literal dying brown children on the other side of the world

Good mental health to you, Cyanide!  PS, there were literal dying brown children on the other side of the world before this conflict. Didn't see any commentary from you back then! I guess you were busy putting your paws up!

Columbia allowed IDF/ISISraeli student terrorists use chemical weapons on campus but then the trash uni & Zionists are still whining about antisemitism… Zionists are bottom of the barrel complete trash. 
 

Imagine being this triggered over student anti-war and anti-genocide protests. Zionists would have been pro-Vietnam war in the 60s like the scum you are now

There is something very dystopian about sending troops to college campuses for protesting against a genocide...

Serious question: What do you think should happen if the school doesn't want to take investing advice from 18-21 year olds, but the 18-21 year olds unlawfully take up residence on school property?

 

From what I've read, they want Columbia to divest from ETFs managed by a third party because they include Microsoft, Google, and Amazon stock.

"From what I've read" - how odd to purposefully lead off the main purpose of the protest, the weapons manufacturers the schools in question invest in. 

Though of course Zionists know this is happening and pretend to not know otherwise by referring to weapons manufacturers as "big tech".

they would all get bored and go home  if the media wasn't focusing on them 24/7. 
 

the media overhyping this stuff is what's fueling them to continue 😂

Imagine if said media was actually reporting the truth instead of labeling them as terrorist sympathizers and spreading fake news about them attacking and stabbing people on campus for you to post here 🤣🤣🤣

This is the Columbia thread isn't it?

 

Quote

"Divest" is a demand that has been repeated, on banners, in editorials in student newspapers and during rallies that are sweeping across campuses now gripped by a wave of pro-Palestinian activism.

 

What it actually means has varied in scope, and level of detail. At Yale and Cornell, students have called on the universities to stop investing in weapons manufacturers. Columbia students are demanding the sale of holdings in funds and businesses that activists say are profiting from Israel's invasion of Gaza, and the longer-term occupation of Palestinian lands — including Google, which has a large contract with the Israeli government, and Airbnb, which allows listings in Israeli settlements on the occupied West Bank.

 

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/24/business/college-protesters-divestment-israel.html

Like I said, students are asking for divestments from indirect investments (ETFs) in Big Tech… which are part of most every portfolio. 
 

So what should happen to students when the school says no? Should they be allowed to protest indefinitely?

Time for a regime change and reform in America. This is far from democracy methinks :coffee2:

The US is a fascist state and always was. Every single critique regarding "human rights" and "freedom of expression" the liberals on this site and at large in western society apply to Russia/China/Iran *actually* applies tenfold to this sick country, and the Gaza Genocide and free Palestine movement is proving it.

Hag got heckled in Dublin (no clue why she was invited). Putin's anti-Biden organisers are everywhere!

I don't know. Feels like something has shifted in recent days. There's more momentum the more they push back against the protest. All the disparaging comments are pure copium from Boomers (📦) because they really can't ignore this. They're on the back foot. 
 

These students will be remembered. I just hope nobody is seriously hurt or killed by police or Zionist crazies in these protests.

I see you're a fan of the Boomers. The anti-Vietnam people of the 60s you align yourself with are called Boomers now. Make sure to thank your landlord!

Being anti war was unpopular then just like being anti genocide is now. You would be scum then just like you are scum now. Free Palestine
