There's no clear plan or reasonable demands, just a lot of noise and disruption that's frankly become embarrassing. 1 4
Communion Posted May 10 Posted May 10 I love how the more people tune out and ignore Kassi's shilling and nonsense, the more caricature-like the posts become. Cheering on police brutality on students? Living up to "Joe Biden played a pivotal role in the Civil Rights Movement...as the antagonist" teas. 3

The protests and encampments have centered on very clear demands from the beginning. The ones who have derailed the narrative have been the dishonest media and fascist police/politicians. I'm sure you'd find this to be just "noise and disruption" 1 1

Cheering on police brutality on students? Living up to "Joe Biden played a pivotal role in the Civil Rights Movement...as the antagonist" teas. Police brutality? Why lie? Why consistently invent fake realities out of whole cloth? If there was any of that, I guarantee those activist pages would not hesitate to disseminate it as part of their propaganda. Quote "At approximately 5:30am this morning, Penn Police, with support from the Philadelphia Police Department, took steps to remove the unauthorized encampment on College Green," a Penn spokesperson wrote. "Protestors were given multiple warnings that they were trespassing and offered the opportunity to voluntarily leave and avoid citation. Those who chose to stay did so knowing that they would be arrested and removed." The spokesperson said police arrested approximately 33 people without incident and cited them for "defiant trespass." https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/philadelphia-police-move-in-to-disband-pro-palestinian-encampment-on-penns-campus/3854917/ Please understand that your views are weird.

I'm sure you'd find this to be just "noise and disruption" They've stated their anti-Western objective explicitly. I said reasonable demands as in not targeting divestment from half of the US economy while playing Candy Crush (a Microsoft property) in their tents. They can clap and cheer and celebrate and protest all they want — just don't set up illegal camps and block highways.

PoisonPill Posted May 10 Posted May 10 There's a long history of protest movements being born on college campuses. I support the students who are peacefully and meaningfully demonstrating what they see as a moral crisis for the world. At the same time, what some Jewish students are experiencing is frightening and not okay. Checkpoints outside campus buildings that block Jewish-presenting students from entering unless they declare they're anti-Zionist. Demanding divestment from Israeli/Jewish student organizations and cultural programs. Spray-painting the Star of David and "DEATH TO ZIONISTS". Shouting at Jewish students that they'll get 10,000 more October 7th's. I acknowledge that this doesn't represent the majority of protesters, but it is a real element and I don't blame the Jewish students who feel in danger on their own campuses. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-05-09/are-you-a-zionist-checkpoints-at-ucla-encampment-provoked-debate-among-jewish-students
Kassi Posted May 11 Posted May 11 On 5/8/2024 at 4:37 PM, Kassi said: While impact investing tries to align investments with ethical or social values, it doesn't suit the larger, more risk-averse portfolios of institutions like universities due to its complexity, higher risks, and the smaller market of suitable investments. Hence, university endowments are not likely to shift dramatically towards impact-driven strategies, as such moves could jeopardize their financial stability and long-term ability to fund educational programs. "Penn remains unequivocally opposed to divestment, and it is unlawful for institutions receiving funding from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania." "Open expression and peaceful protest are welcome on our campus, but vandalism, trespassing, disruption, and threatening language and actions are not." —— Everybody smart is basically saying the same thing. None of what these protestors are doing makes sense.
Kassi Posted May 11 Posted May 11 "Reaching a solution hinged on our ability to meet the students' primary demand, which we could not do in a well-principled way that respected the academic freedom of our faculty."

Is this in reference to calls to end funding for the national organization that helps fund and organize colonialist birthright trips for future Israel settlers?
