The anti-Semitic protest on campuses across the country have been the top story for days. I’m a bit agnostic about the whole thing. Hamas is evil, so are the over abundance of liberal Jews in our government and country. Seems to me that the Israelis are a bit indiscriminate in their killing, but the hostages haven’t been returned yet, have they? In the end, what is being created is a lot more generational hate.

Anyway, this post is about the protests. I’m generally not too big on protesters because they are anarchist, liberal pukes. Question though, this has been at the top of the news for days. Has anyone seen big pictures (as in wide-angle) that show the scale of protests or the number of protesters? Everything I am seeing is pretty close up and it looks like dozens, not hundreds or thousands of them. Just wondering if this is the media making a story by making a mountain out of a mole hill. And if it isn’t inflating an agenda.

The media is really hyping it up, so you know who controls the media. If it was a black lives or homo’s rights rally would the response be the same? Not likely.

As far as I could tell the protesters were not threatening anyone. Free speech includes speech you don’t like.

Obviously, those students don't have much of a class load.

I've had the same thoughts.
The MSM and 'those' heavily involved in it have near endless money. They can and have carried out large scale propaganda campaigns for decades. NEVER will I ever trust anything they say or do because it's always against conservative Americans.
If they need dead bodies they'll make some.

Exactly, how many are non-student Antifa instigators that needed an excuse to get out of their parents’ basement?

But if you look at a lot of the pics, there does not appear to be “depth” to the crowds. There is open space behind them.

Exactly.

They're gender studies/poli-sci students getting extra credit from their commie course instructors.

I think you nailed it.

Somebody on Faux radio said something to that effect. Said Pro palestinian professors were participating in demonstrations and giving students better grades for being involved.

I don’t know of the media is blowing anything out of proportion or not, but I’m pretty sure Columbia U shut down in person classes for all students for the reminder of the semester.

Edited to add- They shut down in person classes out of fear for safety of Jewish students.

I love when the left eats their own.

I guess college has changed a lot since I was there. I was far to busy drinking and screwing to have any idea what was going on around the world.

My daughter reports that the crap going on at UNC Chapel Hill is being blown out of proportion. The protests are typically small groups and many protestors are likely not students. She doesn’t know a soul that has participated. The media covers the protests as if they are major events. The situation is mostly smoke & mirrors. Typical liberal garbage propaganda.

NorCal.

Heard about it over the weekend. Classes moved to remote learning. Not sure how that would work with fish/wildlife/plant dissections and ID?

If reports are correct, "hundreds" at this campus, one of the smaller (by student population) in the State.

As I recall, Siemens Hall is the Admin Building. Shutting that down would impact the whole campus, unlike shutting down the biology lab or art buildings.

Quote
Classes were moved online and the campus closed, according to a message posted on the college's website, on Tuesday. In an update message, they explained at least three people were arrested and as of Wednesday, students still occupied at least one building on campus.

"The University supports free speech through open dialogue that is respectful and constructive, but will not tolerate endangering people, destroying property, and disrupting campus," the statement from Cal Poly Humboldt read.

Video showed hundreds of protesters barricading one of Humboldt's buildings, Siemens Hall, refusing to leave on Monday.

Concerns over other buildings being occupied, along with other health and safety issues, prompted the college to close through the weekend.

Poor kids are inundated with that liberal garbage. Trying to corrupt their logical brains.

For some reason, I've been re-living a little nostalgia with these "on campus" protests....



Sounds more appropriate in today's world, than it did back in the late 60s and early 70s.

Most of these protest in the 60s-70s were done by jews to erode traditional values.
