WESA ^ | 4/23/24 | Betuil Tuncer

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.

"university privilege", what is that?

Whatever Mr. Weiner, most Americans today think of colleges and universities as over priced woke jokes.

I wonder what woudl happen if the Jews at the campus staged a sit-in and screamed death to people that they don’t like and attacked and threatened people of other nationalities?

I’ll bet the left woudl be screaming and demanding that the Jews voices be censored

When my son was in Pitt college after 9/11 during class discussion he said he felt like he was in another country by how the students were reacting and speaking.

Hey Governor Shapiro — There’s a group of actual Anti-Semites protesting there at Pitt. Where’s your outrage?

Whenever you look at the “protests” notice how many people are wearing masks.

Nothing screams “leftist” more than wearing a mask in 2024.

Well, pink, green or blue hair is also a clue.

I look at the picture and in the middle it looks like the "protestors" are having an extra large pepperoni pizza.

Is that halal?

Ever since they tried to impose masks on all of us, I’ve seen them as a leftist thing.

The lefties wet themselves in excitement when the government issued mandates making people wear masks. Useful idiots were posted at the entrances of stores to bark at people, ordering them to wear masks. You know those weirdos got off to that.

It’s why I refused to wear a mask anywhere. I didn’t own a mask. I still don’t.

I notice there are always lots of masked idiots at any leftist protest, including the fake right-wing marches that the Feds stage. The nasty, bacteria-laden face mask has become another symbol of the left.

....... It's a shame that Conservatives don't have any sway with Benefactors to pull their money from Colleges and Universities that allow Unpatriotic and Treasonous activities like this. That would probably garner a bit of attention from these Colleges and Universities ...

THEY want divestment from Israel.

The divestment that will happen in current AMERICAN donors will shut their pocketbooks towards the universities.

May be professional protestors, and not students.

“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,”

No you aren’t. You are not making something you are demanding an act against the sovereign country of Israel, not asking for Israel to change their stance on Gaza but by threatening them with:

“the students are demanding that Pitt disclose and divest from any investment ties it has to the Israeli government”

That is not building something, that’s threatening someone with a physical act trying to do harm to another country by holding something hostage. In this case, monitary business funds. You act just like the people of Gaza who are considered terrorists. Only difference is they hold hostages for the same thing.
