The Presidents of Harvard, MIT, Penn, Columbia should be forced to resign

More illegal racist and facist activities by the communist quasi police force in the pro Hamas encampment to stifle rights and freedom ...

They are so quick to "mask up" to hide their identities

 

Based on the arrests at Columbia it does sound like many of those weren’t students or faculty.

 

At the U of Mn the encampment has come down without requiring law enforcement to forcibly remove them and school is proceeding towards finals peacefully.

Left wing professional rioters in the mix.

 

And that's a problem (for their cause). Is it about the cause or them? If it's about mostly about them, not only have they lost, it has backfired.

 

They hate the Jews
It’s obvious

 

This is why Egypt doesn’t want the Palestinians in
Enough dealing with one group of Islamic lunatics

 

There is a place for protests and protest have been successful for social change. Not all protests, type of protests, or even protesters are the same. The Montgomery bus boycott isn’t the same as throwing soup at the Mona Lisa. Both are attention grabbing actions but the latter is very directly tied to the issue being protested. The other is about attempting to grab as much attention as possible whether it’s related at all to the issue.

 

Prayer is evil. I was SHOCKED AND DISGUSTED to see that college kids were praying. I'm going to go down there and throw bowling pins at them, I'm so mad about it. Thank you for raising this issue.

 

Agreed. Protests are a very important way for social and governmental changes. The founders knew this well and guaranteed the right of assembly in our Constitution. Americans should be supportive of everyone's right to peaceful protests and very critical of the gov or institutions cracking down on them.

 

Add the Ivy League to the latest set of institutions that the left has destroyed through partisan idiocy.

Legal System
IRS
Media
Intel Agencies
Hollywood
Hopefully not the military

Kinda noticing that everything they lead turns south in a historic way....

 

Not surprising. China, Russia, and Iran are taking advantage of the protests, amplifying them to "stoke tensions within the US"

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/02/business/media/campus-protests-russia-china-iran-us.html

An article on a fake online news outlet that Meta has linked to Russia’s information operations attributed the clashes unfolding on American college campuses to the failures of the Biden administration. A newspaper controlled by the Communist Party of China said the police crackdowns exposed the “double standards and hypocrisy” in the United States when it comes to free speech.

On X, a spokesman for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Kanaani, posted a cartoon of the police arresting a young protester in the guise of the Statue of Liberty. “Imprisonment of #freedom in the U.S.A.,” he wrote.

As protests over the war in Gaza have spread across the United States, Russia, China and Iran have seized on them to score geopolitical points abroad and stoke tensions within the United States, according to researchers who have identified both overt and covert efforts by the countries to amplify the protests since they began.

There is little evidence — at least so far — that the countries have provided material or organizational support to the protests, the way Russia recruited unwitting Black Lives Matter protesters to stage rallies before the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections.

Nonetheless, the campaigns have portrayed the United States as a country rived by social and political turmoil. In the past two weeks alone, state media in Russia, China and Iran have produced nearly 400 articles in English about the protests, according to NewsGuard, an organization that tracks misinformation online. The countries have also unleashed a wave of content through inauthentic accounts or bots on social media platforms like X and Telegram or websites created, in Russia’s case, to mimic Western news organizations.

...

“The policies of the Biden administration are complicating the situation inside the country,” the article on TruthGate, one of a handful of websites that Meta said last year were created by a Russian information operation known as Doppelgänger to spread propaganda under the guise of an American news outlet, said on Wednesday. “In the rush to help our controversial allies, they have completely forgotten about domestic affairs. Now the situation seems irreparable.”
...
One covert Chinese influence campaign known as Spamouflage, which was first linked to an arm of the Ministry of Public Security in 2019, has also turned its attention to the protests. Some posts on X claimed that the United States was “DISPLAYING TOTALITARIANISM.” Similar language — such as “how could there be such rough police officers in the world” and “expulsion, arrest, suppression!” — echoed across several accounts identified by the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, a research organization in Washington focused on national security.
...
Brian Liston, an analyst with Recorded Future, said that in the case of Russia, the campaign “was attempting to stoke tensions on both sides of the protest argument,” alternately praising the protesters and denouncing them as antisemitic.
...
Melanie Smith, the director of research for the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, a research organization that studies online disinformation, polarization and extremism, said China’s efforts had become notably more aggressive toward the Biden administration.

Her organization and others previously identified an incipient effort to undermine President Biden’s re-election prospects. That effort has included creating fake accounts posing as those run by Americans critical of Mr. Biden’s policies.

“Their content is relatively aggressively talking about how young people are unlikely to vote for Biden over this as an issue,” Ms. Smith said of the Chinese response to the protests.
...
The Information Epidemiology Lab, a research group that studies malign influence campaigns, said the Russian information operation Doppelgänger had been posting content critical of the aid package or focused on the political debate surrounding it. The goal is to portray the United States as an unreliable global ally — some posts claimed that it had abandoned Israel.

Instead, the posts suggested, Israel and other countries should seek new partnerships with Russia and China. Another series of posts shared an article from a website masquerading as Fox News, which claimed that former President Donald J. Trump would “stop the plundering of the U.S. budget.”

 

I agree that legislation is absurd. Are you saying that calling for Intifada or chanting “from the river to the sea Palestine will be free” should be banned because it should be considered violent hate speech?
