Amid continued tensions and violence in Gaza and Israel, students at the University of Pittsburgh organized a sit-in outside of the Cathedral of Learning on Tuesday.
“We're just here in solidarity with Palestinians at a time where they don't have universities, to use our university privilege to make something,” said Samuel Weiner, a master’s student in Pitt’s teaching department.

They aren’t wearing masks because of covid they are trying to obscure their faces so they can’t be picked out by camera’s or AI.
Nobody ever asks these scumbag morons what, exactly, is the plan for Israeli divestment? I want specifics. Is it Jew owned companies? Companies that have an office in Israel? Companies that buy or sell with Israeli companies? They’ll just look at me blankly and say “uh. Yeah.”
Ok, then give the mechanics of how you go about doing that if the companies are privately or publicly held? Do politics override the fiduciary responsibility of a pension fund manager?
So true. I am from PGH. went to PSU. BUT Pitt campus is the Pits.
They have universities. They have had universities for many decades. These demonstrators are ignorant.
So they want divestment. Let us return the favor by pushing in the direction of a net-zero carbon world and halting the import of oil and petroleum products from all the countries of the Middle East besides Israel. Imports should be halted to the US and all European countries.
Certainly the woke protestors can get onboard net-zero carbon policy even if it means defunding terrorism in the Middle East.
Why not go to Palestine.... and sit in there against the IDF? Rachel Corrie at least had the conviction to back up her words with action.
Questions to ask your local ‘press’ about the current riots:
Who orders the tents Who pays for the tents? Who delivers the tents to the right location?
Who gives out ‘walking around money’?
Who pays for organizers to fly around the country setting up camps?
Who takes the orders to create signs? Who makes the signs?
Who picks up the signs and has them delivered to the right camps?
Who buys the bullhorn, flares and props?
Who buys the food? Who cleans up?
and last but NOT least - WHO FINDS THE DRUMMER, PAYS FOR THE DRUMS?
Organizers have patterns to their work - By pattern this looks like the same people who did BLM riots...or very connected.
Sigh. My alma mater (twice). There’s a reason I’ve never contributed a dime to them since graduation. Somehow they always find me after a move, though - now I block the fundraising emails and report them as spam.
All together now: “Under the arm! Under the arm! Under the arm...Pitt!”
It is antisemitic and reminder that antisemites are idiots. Horkeimer hated Zionism, when he wrote this. In fact, he would oppose Zionism into the 1950s, changing his position only because the state of Israel existed and was home to so many Jews. Horkheimer’s response to Nazis and German Marxist lack of concern for Jews in Nazi Germany was to break from this. But he still wanted to take the religion out of Judaism. Other cultural marxists remained anti-Zionists, but joined his effort to subvert Judaism with critical studies. What is happening today is exactly what they wanted as a group.
Unlike the schmucks making and fapping to memes at “Smash Cultural Marxism, I’ve suffered reading Horkeimer .
“These demonstrators are ignorant.”
The public education system demonstrated at its finest.
