When you are discussing ‘carnage’ and asserting ‘half those killed are members of a terrorist organization’ it’s incumbent on you to back up your claim.

Bkk Brian Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Some further clarification for those who still don't get this: According to the Journal’s report, activists at Columbia University — whose encampment launched the anti-Israel activities on other campuses — had “for weeks and months” consulted with and received training from outside groups, including the National Students for Justice in Palestine, whose Columbia chapter was suspended by the university administration early in the war. NSJP’s main sponsor, the Journal reported, is the Westchester Peace Action Committee (WESPAC) — which the Anti-Defamation League antisemitism watchdog says has funded groups that “have repeatedly propagated antisemitism or called for violence against Israel.” Besides NSJP, some Columbia students also engaged with Samidoun, a Vancouver-based “Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network” which both Israel and Germany have banned over links to terrorism. Several of the group’s activists spoke at “Resistance 101,” a training session for pro-Palestinian Columbia students — some of whom were subsequently suspended — that was held online in March after being twice barred from the campus.

Yellowtail Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 On 5/2/2024 at 9:41 PM, Cory1848 said: Exactly. If students are protesting their university’s investments in the defense industry, specifically companies involved in arms deliveries to Israel, they have every right to do that; it’s their money (or their family’s money). And I don’t believe there are any universities in the US who have a financial stake in arming either of the generals who are currently destroying Sudan (though I could be wrong ...). But beyond that, so many people are laser-focused on the bad behavior of the Israeli state who don’t care a hoot about Ukraine or Sudan (or who can’t find Tigray or Xinjiang or Burma or Kivu on a map), that one begins to wonder why ... They have a right to protest peacefully. They do not have the right to break law, which many seem to be doing. They also have the right to defy the school's rules and regulations, and the school has the right to expel them for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowtail Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 18 hours ago, connda said: First Amendment Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Probe all they wish, but when they begin passing laws to directly or indirectly "abridge the freedom of speech, or of the press" and "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances" (protest) they'll be shot down in short order in federal courts. Right now the Uni-Party, i.e., Congress, with the exception of a handful of legislators not bought and paid for by billionaires mega-donors and lobbies who are anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim and pro-war, are in the process of doing just that. Attempting to make excuses to eviscerate the Constitution. And they are saying it: "We can't allow this speech or that speech, or speech against this group whom we support or that group whom we support. Of course - they are paid to protect those whom their donors expect to be protected and shut down the speech by those their donors do not like. That's not how the Constitution was framed. They are going after "protected speech" and it will get shot down in Federal courts (as it should), and barring that the SCOTUS. I know there are people, including US legislators and US citizens who wish to live under totalitarian control - and call it "democracy" - but as long as the SCOTUS functions that isn't going to happen. Keep an eye on this thread as you'll see those people who wish to destroy the Constitution say so right here. They'll start out with: "Freedom of speech is not absolute!!!" Yes - it is. Except in a very, extremely limited set of circumstances, and most of those have already been established in Constitutional Law via precedent. And the recent arrests on US university campuses are going to create a plethora of new cases, as well as laws moving through Congress to "abridge the freedom of speech" which are supported by both Democrats and Republicans. I never thought I'd see the day - but here it is. You say you don't like US Constitutional "protected speech?" Then move to the UK or the EU and ask for asylum based on being terminally offended by "hate speech" or "political speech" which IS "protected speech" under the First Amendment of the US Constitution. The watchers of MSM cable news whether on the Left or Right will be holding hands as they board the first planes back to the England to swear fidelity to King Charles if he promises to protect them from the scourge of the First Amendment and unrestrained "Free Speech." "...the people peaceably to assemble..." What the students are doing falls out the boundaries of this right. Their free speech right also does not include the interfering with the rights of others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowtail Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Because half the people being arrested are not students, there is no need for concern. That a third of the students at Colombia not US citizens is not a concern. That many of the university staff supports the protests in not a concern. That no one seems to have to study or attend class the week before finals, yet will still get As is not a concern. The only concern is that Trump paid Stormy to keep quiet. Once the DA has Trump safely behind bars, he'll make sure no of the arrests remain on the students' records. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkk Brian Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 "Death to Israel" "Death to America" I know a couple of leading rogue nations who could be channeling their influence here. From NYPD Chief: This morning, @nyuniversity & @TheNewSchool requested @nypdnews to clear protesting students on their grounds. “Options” were afforded to the student protesters, with some leaving and 56 choosing arrest. There were no incidents, nor injuries to report. Once again the NYPD was extremely professional in their response! However, as we have been stating for the past 2 weeks, there is an underlying radical indoctrination of some of these students. Vulnerable and young people being influenced by professional agitators. Who is funding and leading this movement? We found numerous disturbing pieces of literature in both encampments but wanted to highlight this most disturbing one, clearly stating: “Death to America !” Watch this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
