A massive new anti-Israel tent city took over Columbia University on Sunday, just days after an NYPD raid cleared another intrusive encampment there and cuffed more than 100 protesters.

They aren’t afraid.

They are very confident.

Bring in some Billy clubs beating out a bossa nova on their heads.

Let them stay. So America can truly see what an Ivy League college is like.

Nah, imagine replacing the ungrateful folks with veterans looking to get their college degrees after completing service. And other qualified Americans that are skipped because foreigners and their governments pay more.

You are assuming they will try.

I would not be surprised if I were to learn that many are Trustafarians.

And if they want to change it up once in a while, they can use their billy clubs to play these drum patterns on those empty towel heads too.

Yup. Columbia school was the American haven for the Frankfurt School of Neo-Marxists for 15 years.
