Protesters said people were praying in tents

Praying for what? Praying for Hamas to kill more Israelis? Praying for the soul of Adolph H?

The morons attending our Ivy League schools are doing everything they can to destroy the Ivy brand and devalue the worth of their expensive and already increasingly worthless diplomas

If the pro-Hamas types want to undermine the education of Jewish students in America, it is imperative to halt this abuse. Certainly a lot more effort from political and educational leaders is necessary to enable a return to decency.

However my point is that this is no longer the 1930’s where the only academic games in town are in North America and Europe. There are high quality international level Universities outside the West where students can do their studies or work on their doctorates. There are the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) in India, the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil, some in China and elsewhere that are top tier.

The longer term point is that Jewish scholarship in the West has lead to 129 Nobel Prizes, plus technological leadership in many fields. Ill treatment in Western countries does not have to be tolerated. Sending excellent Jewish scholars (and non Jewish scholars) to the developing world can accelerate the shift in technological power to nations and peoples who might be more appreciative. And maybe the handful can turn into something larger where these countries will be safer places for communities that should avoid a West that is about to self destruct. As Jews are the canary in the coal mines, maybe other communities should also think about where to put down roots.

“They yelled at us to go back to Poland, said we have no culture, and chanted, ‘Strike, strike Tel Aviv,” said one terrified student. Followed by, “Burn Tel Aviv to the ground,” “Go Hamas, we love you, we support your rockets, too.”

In a now-infamous image, one demonstrator appeared before a group of counter-protesters holding Israeli and American flags with a sign pointing in their direction that read, “Al-Qasam’s next targets.”That’s what you get for $68,000 a year at Columbia – an administration who cowers in the face of thugs and bullies, and a university president who would rather make your kids try to learn off campus, than take a truly hard line with those students calling for the murder of Jews.

Since the president of Columbia is an Egyptian muslim, the reluctance to throw students who threaten to murder Jews off her campus could be due to her own vicious bald faced racism. Of course, her main loyalty is to the muslim Umma, the community of believers, rather than to any other grouping or State.

Yeah.

Mostly peaceful.

Not what I have been seeing with my own eyes but hey, it’s Jake you know.

Mooooostly peaceful...

Stabbing a Jewish student in the eye is "peaceful". Threatening to kill Jewish students by holding a sign asking the militant wing of Hamas to consider these students their next target, is also "peaceful". Threatening 10,000 October 7 massacres is "peaceful" too.

Keeping a Jewish professor away from his office with a human chain is "peaceful". Doing the same to a Jewish student is "peaceful". There is a photo of uniformed Nazis doing the same thing in 1938 Europe. Since few people challenged the Nazi line, that was also mostly "peaceful".

That makes CNN a Nazi sympathizing organization. Does CNN take its orders from totalitarians in the Middle East?

But don’t bring your voting patterns south with you!

Here is your opportunity to do some serious "agitation and propaganda" to help people understand their situation in depth. Having seen the madness at Columbia up close, they will be receptive to modifying their worldview to accommodate the reality of evil from which they have just suffered.

what, exactly, is the plan for Israeli divestment?

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.

“We’re just here in solidarity with Palestinians at a time where they don’t have universities,

They have universities. They have had universities for many decades. These demonstrators are ignorant.

So they are mentioning the 1967 borders? As many know, more Jews were expelled from Arab countries after the War of Independence than Arabs left Israel. Further, the amount of land confiscated from the Jews in Arab countries amounts to five (5!) times the size of Israel inside the 1967 border. Currently there are maybe 10 Jews left in each of Iraq and Tunisia.

The only way justice can be served is if the same amount of land stolen from the Jews were taken from Arab countries and transferred to Israeli sovereignty. Further this solution should be designed with proper attention to defensive needs.

Another reason for the Speaker of the House to check in on Columbia University is that we just had a Congressional investigation into anti-Semitic racism that had been occurring at Universities such as Harvard, MIT and the University of Pennsylvania. A visit from a high ranking Congressman might get some action in halting the anti-Semitic racism that is breaking out now.

Because boatloads of Federal dollars (ie our money) goes to grants for these overpriced luxury resorts, otherwise known as universities.

Each of these leading Universities obtain tons of money for scientific research from the federal government. Each such grant has a significant percentage siphoned off by the University and is used for general expenses to help support the functioning of the institution. The federal government has every reason to get involved.

Why would CNN pursue such a line of reasoning? Is it another organization under the influence of Qatar or other malign elements from the Middle East?

but no place this side heaven is perfect

But their hearts are in the right place. What is going on at the Ivies and other elite schools is Nazi style madness. It is both embarrassing and has dangerous potential.

What would 0bama say if he stated what he really believes?

That's easy. He would simply quote Adolph in German from 90 years ago.

In 1968, the Communist Polish government, kicked most of the remaining Jews out of Poland, in an anti-Zionist campaign.

That being the case, when the fascist demonstrators tell the Jews to "Go back to Poland", the fascists should be informed that the Poles themselves will help arrange ongoing flights to Israel.

On social media, you can find footage of crowds taunting Jewish students to “Go back to Poland!”

A relative told me that in Poland before the War the chant was "Jews to Palestine". The phrase sounded like "Zhidzhe na Palesini".

I suppose it is alright to send Jews to Poland, even if their parents come from Russia, Iraq, Tunisia or Morocco. But then they must respect the wishes of interwar Poland and then go to the successor state to Mandatory Palestine, namely Israel.

“At the January 6 protest on Interstate 5, none of the protesters were arrested by police.

Why? Is the State running an anarchy?

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut.

In this case the nut found the squirrel.

Never forget the draconian behavior out of Australian authorities during covid......probably THE most overbearing of any country.

That turns Australian leaders into mass murderers, unlike some businessman with a website.

History didn’t start on Oct 7.

If Israel wanted to ethnically cleanse Gaza, the war would have been over long ago.

The activities of October 7 are in keeping with Islamic Law. From Ali Sina’s book “Understanding Muhammad”.

p. 39 Rape

Muhammad allowed his men to rape the women captured in raids. However Muslims faced a dilemma. They wanted to have sex with their female captives, but also wanted to return them for ransom and therefore did not want to make them pregnant. Some of these women were already married whose husbands had escaped when taken by surprise and were still alive. The raiders considered the possibility of “coitus interruptus” (withdrawing from intercourse before ejaculation). Unsure of the best course of action, they sought the counsel of their Prophet. Buhkari reports:

Abu Saeed said “We went out with Allah’s Apostle for the Ghazwa of Banu Al-Mustaliq and we received captives from among the Arab captives and we desired women and celibacy became hard on us and we loved to do coitus interruptus. So when we intended to do coitus interruptus, we said “How can we do coitus interruptus before asking Allah’s Apostle who is present among us?” We asked (him) about it and he said “It is better for you not to do so, for if any soul (till the Day of Resurrection) is predestined to exists, it will exist.

Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 59, Number 459.

Muhammed did not forbid raping the captive women. Instead he made an asinine claim that when Allah intends to create someone, nothing can prevent it. He told his men that coitus interruptus is ill-advised because it would be an attempt to thwart the will of Allah. He did not say a word against the rape of the captives, and by discouraging coitus interruptus, he supported forced insemination.

He made even his god legitimize intercourse with women captured in wars, the so-called “right hand possessions,” even if they were married before their capture.
