New York University condemned an anti-Israel group on campus that seemed to promote violent “armed struggle” as an appropriate means to support its mission.
The NYU People’s Solidarity Coalition (PSC), which was formerly known as the Palestine Solidarity Coalition, posted to Instagram on July 22, stating its commitment to “embrace a diversity of tactics” and to the “de-normalization of settler-colonial entities.”
The group also posted a document–which it appears to have since removed–which seemed to condone the use of violent “armed struggle.”
NYU condemned the PSC’s rhetoric on Thursday, writing: “NYU condemns the recent posting by the group calling itself ‘People’s Solidarity Coalition,’ which includes a deplorable ‘embrace’ of ‘armed struggle’ as a valid ‘tactic’ in achieving its aims on campus.”
NYU continued, stating that it has “zero tolerance for the use of violence, and is shocked that any members of our campus community would endorse ‘armed struggle’ as a ‘tactic.’” The university also urged the anti-Israel group to “immediately retract” and “repudiate” its statement.
The statement concluded: “NYU will respond to any threat or use of violence swiftly, decisively, and severely. Any violence will result in the immediate involvement of law enforcement as well as University disciplinary processes up to and including expulsion or dismissal.”

Leftists will always call bluffs.
The universities are going to have to stop the happy talk and focus on action or they will be overrun by Commie revolutionaries.
So. The anti-Israel Nazis are going to weaponize.
Just like Hamas.
Sure hope they’re not surprised when their “armed struggle” turns into a two-way street.
Why are these students allowed to behave so? They should all be expelled, but the schools lack the nerve it seems. I imagine someone wants the visual narrative of these idiot protesters.
“So. The anti-Israel Nazis are going to weaponize.
Just like Hamas.”
Like? They are the same.
If Israel will take an ancient old warrior, I’d kind of like to get in on this turkey shoot.
Shocked, I tell you! Just shocked.
Their shocked faces...😴😴😴😴😴😴
Leftists are always violent. Then when it’s returned in their direct you’ll be condemned by them for being violent. It’s ok for them but not for you….
Campus groups have been using this language against "white colonialists" for decades. I remember such language being used against South Africa in the 1980s, when I attended college.
Universities never had a problem with such language until now, when these groups began focusing on Israel.
Reminds me of Thomas Wolfe quoting Gunter Grass on American “revolutionaries”. All hat and no cattle.

The universities have been overrun by Commie revolutionaries since 1968.
well at least they won’t be nearly as terroristic as soccer moms and pops who voice their opinions at school board meetings
That “armed struggle” tactic sounds like the NYU People’s Solidarity Coalition may be proposing to carry out an imminent threat of death against its opponents.
Prof. Hanson likes to review the countless times throughout history when “settlers” and “colonists” invaded and took foreign lands. The Israelites have multiple millennia of valid land claims in the Middle East FAR predating the newcomer moslems in Gaza. The “settler” and “colonizer” epithets are without merit and are utterly ridiculous. But weak, uneducated and stupid people lap it up.
This is the very definition of a terrorist organization.
The more Israel escalates the more manifestations in USA.
The more problems. Out of control violence
Better for trump
schools never allowed kids to make threats like that before- but now that minority groups and religions from other nations have grown, schools will only discipline white conservative students- never the minority groups these days- they can threaten, even go so far as attack, and yeah, they might be arrested... rarely - but the charges are usually dropped- -
Americans are armed to the teeth. Let these fools start shooting and see what happens.
