@wildgrass saidThe protestors certainly are not peaceful. Columbia was forced to go on line for the rest of the term because of the violence and threats to students.
Now they want the National Guard to disperse peaceful protestors?

HYPOCRITES!
Come on, have some conviction guys. Support the speech you hate, or stop pretending to be a defender of free speech.
Just as the National Guard was appropriate in Little Rock to ensure that all could safely attend school, it is appropriate here for the same exact reason.
@wildgrass saidFree speech? Are you serious?

Jackbooted thugs are literally stopping Jews from moving through the campus because they are Jews (https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1782278428466565433) and terrorizing people to the extent that they are terrified to go to class (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/columbia-hold-classes-virtually-jewish-leaders-warn-safety-palestinian-rcna148733).
Peaceful protesters. Ha.
Like the mostly peaceful city-burners during the BLM riots.
I like you, wildgrass, but your OP is sick. This isn't about the freaking GOP. This is about open discrimination that you would NEVER tolerate if it were against a favored minority group.

@sh76 saidsh76 - That was my awkward attempt at sarcasm. The thread topic is hypocrisy. Sorry for the offense. These are the same politicians that called it peaceful after protests where someone was shot to death. "Good people on both sides" after someone was purposefully run over by a car. What's worse: afraid to go to class, or being dead?

The right wing politicians call for free speech and call it peaceful even if there is lethal violence employed, just because they support the cause of the protestors.

This has nothing to do with Trump or Biden, but I have to tell you that what's going on in college campuses is f-in scary. From what I've seen on these videos, these protests are about 60% against Israel and 40% against Jews.

@shavixmir saidThough this was not true historically, today, the far left is a far greater threat to Jews than the far right. And it's not very close.
Oh the irony… the extreme right worried about Jews.
The far right hates Jews based on some mystical racial bunkum that's basically the same as they hold against racial minorities, but which they basically seem to have given up on doing anything about.
The far left hates Jews because they see all Jews as proxies for racist colonialism that they feel justified in fighting violently.
The far right's canards about Jewish influence and media corrupting the western world is far less malignant than the far left's screeches that Jews are genocidal colonialists.

Probably seems more malignant because a rational person might see some merit in the 2nd claim whereas only a diehard antisemitic lunatic would base their opinion of the Jewish people on the Ist claim
Are you saying European Jews did not colonise Palestine?
Genocidal is a harder argument to make but based on the Israeli states policy of restricting food, water an medicine to an enclave whose hospitals they have whilst killing 34,000 ad injuring 100,000 it’s certainly an argument that can an be at least attempted based on objective evidence
What if the idf has to kill 2 million gazans in order to destroy Hamas? Can we talk about genocide then?

@mott-the-hoople saidSTFU no one is defending the psychos who did any of that but you are avidly supporting the murder of thousands upon thousands of babies and children.

So when you want to understand people that can do that look in the mirror because supporting the actions of the IDF in Gaza is tantamount to doing it yourself
