Don’t these guys have final exams to prepare for??

[thanksbutnothanks]

Why don’t they protest against Hamas and Hezbollah . Do they think this is what a peace movement looks like? Have these people studied foreign history from any non-fiction books published before 1990? Or did they just suddenly form their opinion from what is in fashion in the community they hang out with?

[blackrocks]

they just need some uniforms and it would be like 1938 ... huh

What is the logic of people advocating terrorists while opposing war?

[Rikkcas]

Rumor has it that there’s a run on checkered table cloths for scarfs. It’s trending 🤡🏁

They should go to M.E to protest, instead of protesting from the safety of America where their protesting won't do anything to end the war.

I thought hamas was supposed to protect gaza. But what did they bring to their people? And you praise them.

Hate Has No Home Here at Columbia University *

* Unless we're talking about Jews, Christians, white people, black/ brown conservatives, biological female athletes, Asians and Trump supporters.

All I know is that as an independent voter I have to make choice in the upcoming 2024 fall election between two major political parties in America, one of whose slogan is Death to America while that of the other party is Make America Great Again!

I'm fairly sure of which party I'll be going with this time around.

The SJP (Students for Justice in Palestine) gets funds from the AMP (American Muslims for Palestine ) which has direct ties with Hamas. Hamas directs the SJP through various proxies and the SJP has a chapter on dozens of American college campuses today including Columbia University.

The more you protest, the more people see you as the problem.

[ProSePlaintiff]

Are Americans allowed to fly to Israel and protest or will they be arrested?

[AB]

This is like a twilight zone episode, where masses of people lost their minds and turned violent.

[DutchMan]

They should go to the middle east and protest there stop doing that crap here if you dont like this country just leave.

[MattieShiloh]

Many of these protesters aren’t even students at the university…just opportunistic agitators trying to cause chaos

[lauricetatum]

Ihave no doubt that some if not all alumni would say they don't support hamas.

[JJUnohu]

48 Muslim nations on earth....only one Jewish one....

[markdepriest]

We should immediately forgive their student loans....said nobody ever.
