Mass arrests made as US campus protests over Gaza spread

[Social Media]

 

Tensions over the Israel-Gaza conflict have spilled onto the campuses of several prestigious US universities, sparking debates about free speech and drawing condemnation for alleged antisemitic incidents.

 

The demonstrations, which have gained momentum since the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, have led to arrests, cancellations of in-person classes, and heightened security measures at institutions including New York University (NYU), Yale, and Columbia University.

 

 

Amid the protests, allegations of antisemitic and Islamophobic incidents have surfaced, prompting concerns about safety and campus culture. President Joe Biden condemned both antisemitic protests and those failing to grasp the complexities of the Palestinian situation.

 

 

The wave of demonstrations reached a peak after New York City police arrested over 100 demonstrators at Columbia University, sparking similar protests across other campuses. Calls for accountability and divestment from companies linked to the Israeli occupation have been central to the protesters' demands.

 

While some students view the demonstrations as a historical moment akin to protests against the Vietnam War or apartheid in South Africa, others express concerns about the impact on campus life and the safety of Jewish students.

 

At NYU, police arrested dozens of students involved in an unauthorized encampment outside the business school, while at Yale, nearly 50 protesters were arrested after refusing to disperse. Columbia University opted for virtual classes amid concerns of intimidating behavior and antisemitic incidents.

 

The demonstrations have reignited debates about free speech and campus activism, with university officials facing pressure to address the concerns of both protesters and critics. Allegations of antisemitism have been met with denials from protest organizers, who assert their criticism is directed at the Israeli state, not Jewish individuals.

 

As universities grapple with the fallout from the protests, efforts to address antisemitism and ensure campus safety are underway. Columbia University has formed a working group to address the crisis, while federal lawmakers have called for university officials to step down over their handling of the protests.

 

Amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza and shifting public opinion on Israeli action, universities find themselves at the center of a complex and contentious debate, with implications for campus culture and free expression.

Not good. Personally, I received a negative reaction because I expressed a negative reaction towards such protests. They are just 'fashionable cause' stuff, mixed with a large dose of anti Semitism. 

 

Where the heck were these protesters when the US invaded Iraq? When, for example, Myanmar, Turkey, Iran and several other countries committed human rights abuses against their own citizens? 

 

Of course, this is mostly anti Semitism. I am no fool. It definitely is.

Silly kids.

 

Influenced by their extremist left wing lecturers no doubt. Pro-Palestine/Anti-Israel/Anti-Zionist have become euphemisms for anti-semitism. It's plain for all the see. The "anti-racist" leftists are once again proving themselves to be what they claim you are.

The new "woke" is to be anti-semitic... muslims are shrewd when it comes to hate and terror... they have infiltrated and are influencing the easily manipulated western fanatics... this is the real threat.

Totally agree. Somehow they have made anti-semitism fashionable. Incredibly dangerous.

Coordinated Marxist protests throughout  the Usa! Free Expression equals  hate onto America ,Death to America. Hate onto Jews.

"A lot of people might argue here for the sake of freedom of speech or freedom of assembly, but at the same time, we need to remember that we're not talking about student's freedom, we're talking about harassment, intimidation," Sinelnikov said. "We're talking about open calls for violence against Jewish students”.

 

 History repeating itself , with these   Marxist extremist setting up a newer version of an Autonomous zone, same

as Seattle CHOP zone in 

bidens America !

Of course, the old "if you are against israel for anything you are antisemitic" propaganda. It doesn't work anymore.

 

There is no complexity to the Gaza conflict- one of the most advanced military's on the planet is killing thousands of women and children, starving millions, destroying public facilities like hospitals and thus denying Gazans health care, killing journalists and health/ aid workers, and doing it with the unconditional support and supply of weapons and bombs by America.

 

Biden's handlers should give him a better talking point as probably no one believes he is anything but a colluder in the atrocities going on in Gaza.

If anti-semitism is fashionable is it possible that that has something to do with certain semites killing thousands of women and children? That sort of thing doesn't play well with normal people.

There's complexity.  The schism is between those who think the war started on October 7 and those who think it started before 1949.

   That just isn't true .

Pro Palestinians  are just trying to protect their Hamas terrorist from being wiped out by the IDF , going on about woman and children and innocent people , but you just want Israel to stop fighting against Hamas

Every protestor evoking and or endorsing Hamas should go on the No Fly List. That includes protesting faculty as well. The arrests and suspensions are meaningless. A lifetime listing on the No Fly List will fix them once and for all.

They get exactly what they asked for.Who started this war?Who wants to wipe Israel from the planet?Why other arab states don't want to take refugees from Paelestine?Because they are troublemakers.Many arab states kicked them out before.

We where defined as terror groups by germans, since what we did was only targetting german and collaborators, where they responded 10 times, not unlike Israelis. 

 

We killed one german, they picked 8 - 10 norwegians and executed them.

Israel started the war in 1948. This is just the latest battle in the war.

Why should other Arab states take them as refugees? They have their own land to live on, or they would if israelis didn't keep stealing it.

There you go deliberately lying again. This war started on Oct 7th 2023. There were others before that. You spew nothing but misinformation.

   But you only care when its Jews involved , you couldn't care less about the genuine genocide in Yemen and Myanmar .

   You don't care about woman and children being killed , you are just using this war to further your anti Semitism .

   85 000 Yemeni children died of starvation = Not bothered and use their photos to pretend they are Palestinian .

   Zero Palestinian   Children died of starvation = Stop the genocide .

"Normal" people disagree with any innocent person being killed , Anti Semites only disagree when it involved Jews . 

  So, you don't speak on behalf of normal people

You're 'avin a laugh...............😆

 

Before 7/10 many Gazans crossed the border to work, visas for them were on the up, then came along your brigade, executing "any" nationality in their way.

 

Now all that progress has been lost, lost for a very long time over the murder of the innocent....

But you carry on with your terrorist protectionism.  🤔

Interesting events are happening during Pesach - a.k.a. The Passover, during which the almighty host (spirit) killed (slaughtered?) all firstborn but spared those with blood of lamb on their doors.

You are correct.

 

Now, increasingly, facts matter.

 

Also, when states commit acts of terror, they become terrorists.

 

Nyet&Yahoo is one fanatic which has done more to foment ANTI-ISRAELI-STATE sentiment and backlash than any other individual in decades, or ever.

 

Fanatics such as this YAHOO are blinded by their fanaticism.

 

And now, the worm has turned due to the actions of that Worm!

 

The MiddleEast will never be the same for the State of Israel, after permitting the Yahoo to decide its fate.

 

When Israel pushes others into the sea, will they not also be pushed into the sea?

 

That PENN Student is a NITWIT....

He complains that others wish to see Israel pushed into the sea, when it is Israel which is committing this atrocity, FIRST.

 

They are ALL fanatics, in some respects, and Blinded By Their Light!

 

 

What are they teaching at PENN, these days????

 

They have gone off the track at that school.

 

PENN used to be a great school.
