The new left apologist trope is: students are peaceloving, gentle people, evil outsiders are antisemites. But who chants, day in day out, we don’t want no Zionists here? Death to the Zionist state? We want all 48? Students. And those are calls to war. James Surowiecki Antonia Hylton

- The executive director at Columbia’s Kraft Center for Jewish Student Life just sent out an email beginning with the words: “It is unacceptable that I need to send this email in 2024.” Read it to understand why. The NYPD will be at the Kraft (Hillel) Center throughout

Is it that hard? Colleges can say no demonstrations in certain areas, no bullhorns or microphones within x distance of dorms or classrooms, no non-students or non pre-cleared guests on campus, etc. Enforce your rules. And announce new ones as needed to deal with the situation.

On the broader point of the situation at Columbia. It's important to know who's doing what. Students vs hangers-on, activists from off campus etc. But let's not kid ourselves. Think abt this situation from the perspective of a minority group you actually care about.

In Liverpool today pro-Palestinian protesters held aloft the flag of the terrorist group PFLP. These monsters participated in the October 7th massacre in Israel and kidnapped innocents. This is a violence-supporting hate movement and no wonder Jews aren’t safe amongst them.

Bill Ackman Columbia University Jewish students are under assault at Columbia University, having to leave campus before the end of the semester.

This stopped being a free speech issue a long time ago.

Why don't you tell POTUS this: he's obviously been misinformed and misled. And the Jewish students on campus misunderstood the chant 'Go back to Poland': that was a protest against genocide, presumably the Holocaust?

As someone who lives in higher education and doesn’t just comment on it like a distant planet, it’s absolutely stunning to see the prevailing claim that anti-Zionists—rather than Zionists—are the speech-restricted, oppressed ones.

Tell me again that these are mainly “pro-Palestinians” marches.
I’ve never thought I’ll say this, but the US is becoming an unsafe place for Jews

Spellbinding evening with Magdalen Fellow Professor Sir Adrian Hill, on the discovery of an effective vaccine for malaria. This will save many hundreds of thousands of children's lives.
