Sometimes, a story makes you look twice and go, "Wait, what?" This is one of those;

at the University of Washington, a student protest against Israel was postponed because the students involved were "too white."

 

Isn't that "racist" ?

 

Students at the University of Washington postponed an anti-Israel demonstration planned for Thursday because too many of the students who signed up are white. 

According to MyNorthwest, a Washington-based radio station, the University of Washington’s Progressive Student Union (UWPSU) opted to delay an encampment in solidarity with Palestinian terrorists “to make sure this encampment is a better reflection of the UW community, and having even greater unity with Muslim, Palestinian and Arab students.”

Welcome to protest season, where the cause changes but the tactics stay the same

Opinion: Protesters focus on a moral panic each summer, to the exclusion of everything else. This year, it just happens to be Israel-Hamas.

by Jon Gabriel

 

It’s protest season. Again. 

 

This time, the Israel-Hamas conflict is the pretext for activists to block freeways, vandalize buildings and occupy universities. 

 

Protesters took over Columbia University’s Morningside Heights campus, renaming it the Gaza Solidarity Encampment.

 

An estimated 800 students set up tents before replacing the American flag with a Hamas banner. They chanted Islamist slogans, told Jewish students to “go back to Europe” and menaced anyone who disagreed. 

 

Being a prestigious Ivy League school (annual cost of nearly $90,000), Columbia administrators quickly shut down the unrest.

 

Just kidding, they canceled in-person classes, as during the pandemic. Seems $90K doesn’t buy what it used to.

Why aren't they demonstrating in front of the White House and Capitol?  That's where the leaders who engage in the polices they oppose reside and do business.   Nobody on campus or in any city are in charge of the agenda.

I'll tell you why.  Because the folks paying the cost of all these demonstrations and sending their paid professional activists don't want to focus any attention on Biden and Congressional Democrats because that might hurt them in November.
