    It’s just a tough situation with victims on both sides. On one side, you’ve got people being massacred and siege warfare, while on the other you’ve got people whose feelings get hurt when those atrocities are opposed. Hard to say which is worse.

    An Islamic fatwa has condemned the Hamas regime in the Gaza Strip. “Hamas treats millions of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip inhumanely. Islam forbids supporting Hamas, joining Hamas and praying for Hamas!” This is an unprecedented ruling against Hamas by one of the most important institutions in the Muslim world. The Islamic Fatwa Council, a non-governmental organization of Shia, Sunni and other Muslim clergy based in the city of Najaf, Iraq, recently issued an Islamic ruling, called a fatwa, against the brutal Hamas regime in the Gaza Strip. The members of the Islamic Fatwa Council called on Hamas to lay down their arms and finally make peace. The fatwa sees the Hamas regime as responsible for the suffering of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. “Hamas bears responsibility for the corruption and terror against Palestinian citizens in the Gaza Strip. It is forbidden to pray, join, support, finance or fight for Hamas on behalf of Hamas.”

    Ben Solomon, maybe you and the other Jewish students should join the class action lawsuit against Columbia University. And those Jewish students at UCLA, I think you also have legal grounds and proof on film of incidents that prove your point for a class action lawsuit as well. When your university cashed your tuition checks, money changed hands creating a contract between you and the university. You would go to class, follow campus rules and get your education. The university would provide a safe, learning environment free of violence and harassment, and a good education. You've done your part, the university has failed it's part. And at UCLA, there is film of Jewish students being blocked from entering campus to attend their class and a campus guard watching as pro-Palestinian protestors shifted position to continually block him, even after he requested they let him in and showed all of them his student I.D.

      Re UCLA: It wasn’t “classes.” It was the library. There’s more than one entrance to the UCLA library. There’s more than one way to access classrooms for that matter. Walking through the encampment isn’t the only way to access anything-except the encampment. The student knows that. And if he didn’t, he was informed of it. (It was film of “a” student-not “students.”) The student was also a “counter-protestor” with a can of pepper spray on his belt. (If you don’t think that’s problematic, you should watch the footage of what happened at UCLA last night at the hands of “counter-protesters.” You won’t find that footage here, btw.) The whole incident was performative and reeked of clout chasing. It “went viral” after he posted it on his Instagram ffs. Your comment is proof that it worked, I guess.

    News reporter focus on quote "outside agitators" is a propaganda ploy. First of all, it's a total insult to the Columbia College students, which essentially says they can't think on their own, believe on their own, act on their own. It's a disgusting slander. Secondly, so what if the students accepted assistance from some who are more trained in the tactic of Civil Disobedience? Does that delegitimize the College Students protest -- oh, I forget! That's the entire purpose of the "outside agitator -- propanganda news. When the South lost the Civil War, the North passed the Freedmans Bureau bill to set up schools and agencies in the South to train 5 million newly freed slaves. The Southerners called these young teachers, coming down from the North to train the newly freed slaves on how to live as free citizens, "Carpetbaggers" or if you will "Outside agitators." It's a common tactic of the oppressor. Any one who helps fight the oppressor is an "outside agitator." Our American leadership and the Media, state and federal, have been an utter failure when it comes to standing up for Humanitarian law. Because they are defending the indefensible -- Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing of an oppressed people! The College Students, God bless them, see this BS Hypocrisy and are reacting against it on their own initiative! Yes, they may get some civil disobedience training on how to do it without getting themselves hurt or significantly breaking the law; But, being trained to do it right, is not to be praised! Instead American leadership and the mainstream media mob would prefer to smear the College Students with the false charge of antisemitism; they should be praising them for asserting their first amendment rights to fight against the killing of children in the thousands in Gaza! But they don't want to do that, because they are supplying the arms and funds for the slaughter. It's disgusting. There are always going to be "bad apples" (we always say that about crooked police violence) in any bunch, the way the Media Mob has gone out of its way to delegitimize the College Student's cause is a wonder to behold -- especially the so-called progressive MSNBC.

    Right on the mark Jessica Schwab, thank you, there were definitely outside agitators and they looked well, far from being students, scary, they definitely have collaborators inside, students, faculty, or employees. In the initial part of the protest, before the protest attracted the news before the president of Columbia was summoned by Congress, the protesters were already there and surely those outside agitators would already figured entry points and would have had help with IDs, how to sneak into buildings. These would have been figured out initially by those outside agitators and those who collaborated with them. There were tents and I can't imagine why there were tents but no way of knowing the identity of those sleeping in those tents, what security measures were taken ? There might be a good explanation anyway.
