These students are antisemitic. Plain and simple.

The so-called "Pro-Palestine" protests on the campuses of Elite American universities are driven by antisemitic rhetoric, and nothing else. These far-left extremists don't understand what they're "protesting" and their motivation is driven entirely but their desire to fit-in with "like-minded" people. The mentality that goes into this is essentially a bully complex and these so-called "students" are selfishly interrupting classes and disrupting everyone else's education to protect their own insecurities, some of whom are, you know, actually serious about their studies. Shame on every single one of them - what f**king they nerve they have to ruin everybody else's education and waste their time, money, and energy. They should be immediately expelled, and the violent ones put on a federal watchlist. If I were in charge of Columbia, I'd have called the National Guard by now.

Shame on the media companies for using this as an opportunity to push their own false narrative - "Peaceful Protests" my f**king ass. Jewish students are literally being targeted on campus, those who have no interest or toes to Israel. Being shoured at "Go back to Poland!," "f**k you Yehudis!," etc. Physically attacked by mobs of students who have literally been indoctrinated by a terrorist organization. "We are Hamas!," they shout. These victims have been hospitalized for Jewish and literally just being on campus. This is not about the Palestinians. This is straight up antisemitism. They couldn't give a flying f**k about the Palestinian people. These students are selfish and only care what their radicalized peers think of them. How are they block Jewish students from entering certain buildings. That's literally what the Nazis did in the 1930s. That's not "tolerance," as they like to claim it is. And how is painted in the headlines? Universities shut down peaceful protestors and oppress their free speech?

No! They're protecting the safety of Jewish students. The conduct of these "protestors" is unacceptable in 2024. Intolerable. And what I'm most outraged about. The so-called "leader" of the Columbia protests. "Zionists do not deserve to live... I fight to kill." He said. Directly to the administration of the university. He literally threatened death to the majority of the world's Jewish population. I expect this when Hamas has literally infiltrated our American school campuses abs spread radical propaganda. But the fact that he got away with it, with literally no consequences pisses me the f**k off. He needs to be expelled with his earned credits revoked, banned from campus, and put on a federal watchlist. He has endangered the lives of Jews not just in the Columbia campus, but all over the world. If he assaults it kills someone, it's premeditated at this point. There's no "self-defense" case. He claims every zionist deserves to die for their beliefs. That is HATE speech, which is NOT protected by the first amendment as what he said threatens the first amendment.

I can't f**king tolerate this and I won't accept it. I'm meeting with my local congressman and demanding something be done to end shut down these antisemitic rallies and hold the universities accountable for the the safety and inclusivity of their Jewish students. I'm also permanently relocating to Israel where I'm guaranteed safety because obviously American authorities don't give a flying f**k.

I'm so done with this and I really don't give a sh*t about anything else anymore. Ban me got this rent if you want. I don't care.

I wouldn't take it as an insult. Poland is a crappy third world country, but rn compared to what's going on in Israel, it's really chill over here. 🤣

Just kidding in case you can't tell. ;)

^ Standing up for yourself can mean losing friends.   It's the price of courage in the face of ignorance.

Netanyahu supported Hamas.

You use a lot of words for someone pretending not giving a sh*t... Adopting Netanyahu's rhetoric by making believe it is "plain and simple" doesn't make it that; it just shows your intolerance. It is that famous binary "if you're not with us, you're against us" logic that is at the core of the problem and both "sides" (and by that I mean Hamas vs Netanyahu and his government; not Israel vs Palestine) are guilty of oversimplification, because it serves their - extremist - ideologies. Hamas has to be combated and condemned, just as Netanyahu and his genocidal government. A majority of Palestinians and Israelis want peace. Now, to bring in some nuance that you are lacking, here are some interesting opinion pieces, starting with some words from a couple of students involved (which doesn't mean that some students aren't antisemitic, it just shows that it is not valid for all "these" students): Four students on why they’re protesting against war in Gaza: ‘Injustice should not be accepted’ Robert Reich: Protesting against slaughter – as students in the US are doing – isn’t antisemitism Jonathan Freedland: Most Jews and Palestinians want peace. Extremists, narcissists ​and other ‘allies’ only block the way Judith Levine: Why we need to stop using ‘pro-Palestine’ and ‘pro-Israel’

suitkees, you have made some very important points...I have a Jewish friend who states over and over (and rightly so) that to be against the genocide in Gaza doesn't mean one is anti-semitic (and as far as anti-semitism, she knows whereof she speaks-her father as a young child narrowly escaped the Nazis during WW2!)

^ I'd tend to agree-- you can be against a pro-Hamas stance and also support the right to protest.   In the same way one may've been against communist regimes but also strongly against the obvious stupidity of the Vietnam war.

Perhaps the students hate genocides.
