From New York to California, students protesting the Israel-Hamas war slept in tents at college campuses, as some universities moved to shut down encampments and arrested dozens of demonstrators after reports of antisemitic activity.
With the death toll mounting in the war in Gaza, protesters nationwide are demanding schools cut financial ties to Israel and divest from companies they say enable the conflict. Some Jewish students say the protests have veered into antisemitism and made them afraid to set foot on campus. At Columbia University in New York City, where early protests sparked pro-Palestinian demonstrations across the country, students and administrators have engaged in negotiations,

The administration press, AP is pushing propaganda. They are not antiwar protesters. They are anti-Jew protesters.

Are these protests happening in Middle East countries? Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt? If not, why not?

The Israelis have more on their minds than sophomoric and manipulated public opinion.

Some of these schools are $50K + per year for tuition and board. Colleges can charge more because federal loans give students and families increased disposable “income “.
Taxpayers, through loan forgiveness, are paying for these expensive “naps” after 4 years of which graduates think they are “smarter “ than those who worked and paid taxes in the same 4 years. There are too many anxiety breeding academic colleges and not enough vocational colleges.

What more proof do we need that these people do not belong in America.
Roll in the buses and deport the whole bunch.
If there are Americans in the bunch deport them too. They want to be around terrorists, they should be around them in some other country./

College kids are always quick to latch onto a cause. Any cause. They havent reached the point in life where the cause is survival as everything is provided for them. Mumsy and Dadsy send them money, grades are assured and everything is provided. They want to be a part of something...anything. In recent years we've seen them jump on several bandwagons; abortion, net neutrality, student loan forgiveness, various pervert causes, and gun control to name a few.
Someday they will need to concentrate on getting and keeping a job and a home, maintaining a marriage and a family and making a retirement. By that time a new crop of idiots will be in school and the cycle of naivete continues.

You've heard of "Karens," those who think they are owed supreme honor? Campus crusaders are the new Karen Fonda's. Ask any VN veteran, anywhere, what the world thinks of Jane, even this many years past the VN war. Is there a campus anywhere in America that isn't full of children still living inside the pocketbook of a parent? College kids now are like those in any era--they've come to play grown-up. Scholarships smolarships!

Here's a random thought...arrest every protester, document their identity and, using one of the left's favorite tactics, doxx them. Publish their identity, where they live, why they were arrested and ultimately get them blacklisted from working in any field. I'm sure not too many companies would want to hire known anti Semites. Consequences.................

These protests did not ‘veer into antisemitism’. They are grounded in antisemitism and led by some of the most violent Jew haters in the world. These so-called students are ignorant pawns who think they look cool wearing Arab accessories. They’re damned lucky I’m not their mother. I’d drag them home by their hair.

Look at those pieces of human trash. Look at the amount of filth they will leave behind for everyone else to clean up. Nothing but animals in the big tent circus of Obama, Soros and Biden.

Protesting is a lot more fun than studying. It is also a great excuse to get some sympathy from your leftist professor when the grades come out. Summer is coming, the snowflakes will go home to mommy and daddy, and only the Soros paid protesters will remain on campus.
