B-Man Posted May 6 Author Posted May 6 Pro-Hamas Students Reportedly Trained by Left-Wing Groups Nine Months Before College Protests by Sarah Arnold Left-wing groups and activists have reportedly been receiving training for months ahead of the chaotic pro-terrorism protests occurring on college campuses. According to a Wall Street Journal report, many of the pro-Hamas agitators have been consulting with groups such as National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP) and Samidoun: Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network for up to nine months. The protestors were reportedly trained on how to encourage college students to join in on the demonstrations and planning such turbulent events. The groups use social media to reach out to potential protestors and give them advice such as informing them to cover their faces. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2024/05/05/pro-hamas-students-reportedly-trained-nine-months-before-college-protests-n2638639 https://www.wsj.com/us-news/education/student-campus-protests-veteran-activist-groups-17ccd094?mod=hp_lead_pos7 .

ChiGoose Posted May 7 Posted May 7 Most college students reject protests "Just 8% of students say they have taken part in pro or anti-Israel demonstrations that began at Columbia University April 17 and spread across America — and 81% want universities to hold protesters accountable who destroy property, vandalize, or illegally occupy campus buildings, per the survey carried out by Generation Lab for Axios. In addition, two-thirds of students (67%) said that occupying campus buildings was an unacceptable form of protest, while 58% said the same of refusing orders to disperse. Nine in 10 students said demonstrators blocking pro-Israel or Jewish students from accessing parts of campus — as notoriously happened at UCLA — was also unacceptable. Just 13% of students said the Middle East war was one of the three most important issues to them — far behind topics such as health care, climate change, gun control and immigration. Four in 10 students said healthcare reform was one of their top three issues, followed by educational funding (38%), economic fairness (37%), racial justice (36%), climate change (35%), gun control (32%), immigration (21%) and national security (15%)." *** Huh, it's almost as if the protestors aren't representative of students as a whole and would likely be ignored if they weren't protesting at the kind of elitist institutions that journalists venerate. 1

B-Man Posted May 7 Author Posted May 7 Here is who it IS representative of. . . . . . . . The Left. Portland Radicals Admit Torching 17 Police Cars, Their Statement Is Nuts and All About Campus Protests By Nick Arama I've written before about how crazy the radical left is in Portland. We saw a recent example of that with how they took over the library at Portland State University. What they left was disgusting: they trashed the place. They had paint all over the floors and graffiti all over the walls, they smashed glass cases, they had makeshift weapons, and there were even reports of value book/comic collections missing from the library. Then when the police raided, many of them seemed to have been allowed to just run right out the front door. After the library was cleared out, they even had the gall to come back the next day to try it again. The police did arrest about 30 people over the course of two days, noting that some of them were not students. As I noted, the timing was highly suspicious considering it happened right before the raid on the PSU campus activists. Now a group calling itself "Rachel Corrie's Ghost Brigade" is admitting they did it to strike first at the police, believing a raid was coming. https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2024/05/07/portland-radical-group-admits-torching-police-cars-to-strike-first-before-police-raided-campus-occupiers-n2173880 2 minutes ago, JDHillFan said: What are you suggesting with your last paragraph?

Tommy Callahan Posted May 7 Posted May 7 Wait. Now the left is downplaying and distancing themselves from the antisemite "protest" on colleges.

Basically, keep it in context. Part of the polling you cited indicates that a full 10% of students think it’s ok to restrict campus access for Jews. That seems like a story. Replace “Jews” with “blacks” or “lgbtq+” and it’s a nonstop story. I wouldn’t want to be a Jew these days. Very sad what young “progressives” have become.
