And, I’d like to better understand the antisemitism here.

It’s historically been much more of a right-wing thing.

So, if some of the most left-leaning progressive universities in the nation really are staging a bunch of antisemitic protests, how the F did that come to be.

if i'm paying the tuition for my kid. he/she better not be hanging around the commons. smoking dope. eating doritos. flirting with the chicks. it's a party for most of them.

most of those nincompoops have no clue. and no credibility.

[jfish26]

I'd be pissed if my kid ISN'T doing those things. The whole deal is leaning how to exercise freedoms AND learn how to balance those with responsbilities.

And yet, you continue posting.

“Universities are funny. Like what if we took a medieval institution for training priests and combined it with a hedge fund, sports franchise, and resort for teens…oh and it’s also the place we research everything about our entire civilization”

Yeah, for real. (In response to 99, not mich)

If I could do so without being too annoying, I find these current protests fascinating, which is why I asked to compare and contrast.

One obvious contrast is the issue of antisemitism. It’s so unfortunate, and a real problem in the world, and apparently in these protests too.

If there are any “Jooze” who feel unsafe cuz of the protests, I’m not gonna tell them they don’t.

But there’s also evidence of Jewish people being safely included parts of the protests too.

And, at least anecdotally, the folks I’ve talked to who have attended pro-Palestine protests said if anyone DOES say or do or display anything antisemitic, they get quite a bit of shit for it, and are ostracized. You think the Qusdahls are really gonna let that Nazi shit slide?

As far as comparisons…

I there’s also plenty to suggest the main point here of the protests really is sincerely anti-war. Or perhaps even more specifically, anti-genocide.

Or, is there anything to suggest the anti-Vietnam war protests were downplayed as something besides anti-Vietnam war?

There’s also the comparable response from the…um, establishment?, of police (and yea Neil, maybe even military) forces being deployed in an attempt to quash the protests.

"there’s also evidence of Jewish people being safely included parts of the protests too".
* I would guess 60% mostly correct.


"pro-Palestine protests said if anyone DOES say or do or display anything antisemitic, they get quite a bit of shit for it, and are ostracized".
* I would guess 70% mostly incorrect.

Meanwhile, we have these type of wonderful "protesters" - at a school with a Jewish President and that receives hundreds of millions of endowment money from Jews.
I would have happily gotten my ass kicked by him (and arrested) for spitting in his face if he said that to me.

This kind of sums up a lot of American Jews feelings....

[KUTradition]

my favorite is the people at the protests who don’t even know why they’re there

[ousdahl]

Ha yea. Just michhawk trying to get out of class I guess.

And gutter you’re prob right. What’s that dood say in the vid tho? I couldn’t hear

[ousdahl]

Pink hair and Prince T and Crocs?

To be fair, she looks fun.

Oh fuck…I mean, they/them looks fun!

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

Cool!
The same people who wear hoodies with known Hamas leaders images on them, and are "pro-Palestine", also feel the need to say - fuck the police.
If I had the day off from work today I would make a journey to the Northwestern campus and let my feelings be known.

Without trying to delve into perspectives that we all know are so wildly popular here, let’s try to keep this thread on topic.

I’ve seen a lot of pink haired types comparing and contrasting law enforcement’s response to protests, with law enforcement’s response to school shooters…

Man, are they lucky or what?

Yes, because I would probably stop at Mustard's Last Stand on the way and get a burger with onions - and my breath would be pretty bad.
