NYPD arrests over 100 protesters at NYU, clears out anti-Israel encampment on campus

"DUH" Biden didn't order the NATIONAL GUARD or the local POLICE to assault the protesters. You're obviously confused.

 

A vicious, unreasoned assault is the beginning at which point it should be immediately stopped. It's the same as the reason Trump should have been stopped years ago.

 

What was the vicious unreasoned assault?

 

“there are professional agitators in there that are just looking for something to be agitated about.”
^And, "1+1=2" and the Sun Rises in the East...

 

See post 58.

 

There are many Palestinian Christians being killed by Israel as well, so...

 

1. As they should! The dehumanization and oppression of Palestine has been going on for many decades.

2. Because what Hamas did completely pales in comparison to what Israel is currently doing. It is like comparing a pipe bomb to a hydrogen bomb.

 

They put their own children in harms way, why would they care about their dwindling Christian population? Odd that you would use Christians as an example considering the fact that they are being cleansed from the surrounding territories. The Christian population in Israel is thriving.

 

I can't see post # on my phone. Can you kindly repeat?

 

Emory University economics professor Caroline Fohlin approached several police officers who were holding a student down on the ground on Thursday and demanded an explanation—but by the end of the day videos of her own arrest became some of the most widely circulated images of the rapidly spreading anti-war movement on college campuses across the U.S.

As she knelt down to ask the university officers, "What are you doing?" another law enforcement agent grabbed her arm and pushed her away before repeatedly ordering her to "get on the ground."

"Stop it!" Fohlin yelled before the officer pushed her to the ground and called for more police to help subdue her.

Fohlin then screamed, "Oh my God!" as the police pushed her down and told the police that she was a professor at the university as they held her on the ground.

Fohlin's arrest—after which she was detained for 11 hours and then charged with "battery of a police officer"—came a week after Columbia University suspended more than 100 students for setting up an encampment in solidarity with Gaza, where more than 34,000 Palestinians have been killed by the U.S.-backed Israel Defense Forces (IDF) since October, and allowed police to arrest them.

1. You are right - for Harvard student calling for genocide of Jews - as Claudine Gay proved - is not harassment because it depends on context and everyone knows the context. For many people murdering, raping and kidnapping Jews is as you said - "what people should do". It is true - there was huge dehumanization and oppression of Palestinians - Israelis do not allow Palestinians to murder civilians, to kidnap people, they shoot down Palestinians missiles which Palestinians aim on Israeli towns and worse - they don't allow Palestinians to explode themselves in Israeli busses, restaurants and streets - what a horror!

2. Yes, Hamas murdered as many Jews as they could and Israel decided to respond the same way as the West responded to Nazi Germany, Iraq, Afghanistan or Balkans, forgetting that different norm are applied to Jews and non Jews. I think we need Claudine Gay to explain to Israel the difference.

 

I condemn those calling for the death of Jews as much as I condemn those calling for the death of Palestinians. The vast majority of protestors are not calling for that. They are calling for the end of the violence that is slaughtering the innocent. I am all for ending the violence of Hamas against Israelis and ending the violence of the IDF against Palestinians. Both are equally wrong, and military operations are NO EXCUSE for killing civilians. None. Ever. I am also against kidnapping and torture of both Israelis and Palestinians.

What we did in Germany, Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Balkans to civilians is every bit as evil as what Hamas did to Israelis and what Israel is doing to Palestinians.

Bottom line, ALL violence against civilians, whether purposely or accidentally is wrong and inexcusable. It is better that vengeance never be delivered on a country's enemies if it kills civilians. Do what you need to stay vigilant against attack, but never, ever, should civilians be harmed in pursuit of military goals. If that means that Hamas gets away with what it did, it is better that than tens of thousands of innocents getting killed, as killing all of those civilians will just ensure that more terrorist attacks will occur, ensuring many more die on all sides. It is pointless and stupid, and only serves to fatten the wallets of the defense industry and the politicians that serve them.

Will some civilians be killed? Of course. **** happens. But, what Israel is doing now, and what other armies has done in the past, goes WELL beyond what is even remotely acceptable as civilian losses.

 

Pro-Hamas Protesters Seek Amnesty, Pardons to Protect Careers.

'Maryam Alwan figured the worst was over after New York City police in riot gear arrested her and other protesters on the Columbia University campus, loaded them onto buses and held them in custody for hours.'

'But the next evening, the college junior received an email from the university. Alwan and other students were being suspended after their arrests at the “ Gaza Solidarity Encampment,” a tactic colleges across the country have deployed to calm growing campus protests against the Israel-Hamas war.'

'The students’ plight has become a central part of protests, with students and a growing number of faculty demanding their amnesty. At issue is whether universities and law enforcement will clear the charges and withhold other consequences, or whether the suspensions and legal records will follow students into their adult lives.'

They're grown ups, doing grown up things. Face the consequences.

'news flash for these rioters. Nearly every one of you is at least 18 years old and some of the juniors and seniors are in their twenties. You are already in your “adult life,” despite the fact that you’re not acting in a very mature fashion.'

'P.J. O’Rourke famously said, “There’s only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences.”'

'Let’s make the Ivy kids have to choose between their support for baby beheaders and those cushy jobs after graduation. Big business is ready to withdraw the job offers; all they need are the names…'

 

First, you hear about the arrest of hundreds of people, and then the next day, you hear it again. What are we going to do, arrest everyone? At some point you have to stop and think that maybe you have to listen to what they are saying. And also ask the question what have we become now? We are starting to get into the territory of taking out everyone in the world who disagrees with us, and that's not a realistic expectation. Maybe it's time to finally put an end to the Palestinian/Israeli crisis once and for all. Time for everyone to get together and force the issue on the Palestinians and Israel. This madness must end.

 

Sorry, we don't like fascism here in the USA. We don't need police cracking down on peaceful protests that disrupt the arms/death trade that our politicians on both sides of the aisle are invested in.
Hardly any of those protestors are 'Pro Hamas", any any who think that is the case are so dimwitted and so beholden to their uniparty masters that they are just part of the unthinking hive mind that seems to have taken over in the democrat and republican parties. Luckily the younger generations still know how to think critically and think for themselves.

These protests are against the slaughter of the innocent and for the freedom of the downtrodden. Full stop.

 

I'm more bothered by the politics involved. Nobody seemed to arrest anybody during the BLM (Buying Liars Mansions) protests.

So you only get arrested if you're protesting against something Democrats do.

Why were people just allowed to do a billion dollars worth of damage to Minneapolis but if you idiots setting up to tents requires this amount of force?

I want to cheer at these idiot protesters getting arrested their cause is stupid and they should be ashamed. But I can't help but notice this.

 

Sure, and the right to rape and slaughter innocent young Jewish women.

 

I know you wish that they were protesting for that so you could hate them, but they are not. The protests are for peace, and the protection of the innocent and oppressed. That is all.

 

Because (even though it is dead today) we have a First Amendment in the US.

 

The end of violence would require allowing Jews to exist. Everything we know about the leadership in the region surrounding Israel, shows that this is not going to be on the table. Israel has no choice but to neutralize the threat. Those with a genuine concern for humanity would be protecting hamas and their handlers.

 

I think these punks composed of "privileged swamp DNA" should be put on the terror watch list.

 

Texas isn't letting things get bad,

 

You are completely backwards in your opinion. It requires Jews allowing Palestinians to exist as equals and to stop stealing their lands. It is the abuses by the government of Israel that causes the hostility of neighboring countries and organizations.

 

Well, maybe:

 

Abbott is keeping University of Texas under control. But I can promise you a Jewish person is not paying money for a diploma from that when there is A&M,Baylor,Rice.and SMU in the state.
