The university has warned of consequences? They've only done that a dozen other times with NO consequences. But I'm sure the students will take them serious THIS time...NOT.
Next they will be threatening them with the naughty step
I blame the board of directors and the president. They are educated for goodness sake. Any parent knows that, once you’ve set the boundaries, you do not give way or it will continue to be pushed and pushed because you have lost credibility. It is to the point where one has to wonder if the board of directors and the president are complicit in the move from protest to mob rule. Are they so sympathetic in the movement that it is acceptable to them to oust Jewish students and encourage a mass movement? I am disgusted that a perceived prestigious university is so mishandled at best and serving as a useful tool at worst.
This is your first warning. You have 74 warnings left.
Didn’t Barry Soetoro go to Columbia ?
Far more carnage than Jan 6 but allowed and no one will get the penalties our Patriots did.
AMP board member Saleh Sarsour, was imprisoned for eight months in Israel for using his Milwaukee furniture store to transfer money to Adel Awadallah, the leader of Hamas’s “military wing.” The AMP is one of the main benefactors of the Students for Justice in Palestine organizations SJP and BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions)movement.
I think Columbias president should look for a different job.
The students that get expelled are gonna be in for a rude awakening when they find out there was never a genocide happening in Gaza
If you remove these students forcibly, history tells us they will come back even more forcefully. This only ends when there is genuine negotiation which the school has not done. The current president is not an honest broker and should resign immediately to open up a way forward.
I feel so out of touch with these protesters. What world are they living in? Yes, the situation in Gaza is unacceptable. Yes, Israel has committed very questionable, if not vile, acts and have admitted to many civilian casualties. But this is not the Vietnam War, this is not Civil Rights, this is not George Floyd. This is a foreign war, with no American troops, and involves a very well known terrorist organization. Let the people of Israel protest the war in this manner. Let them speak for themselves. The end result of the protesters' demands becomes American troops on the ground to stop the fighting. Then what? Telling a few colleges to divest from Israel is a drop in the ocean. It won't stop anything. Protest and speak your mind, fine, you have that right. But what this has turned into is disgusting. These people just do not understand what is going on.
University leaders that can't fix a simple problem like this need to find another job. Perhaps its time to let men lead the way and shut this down.

We should ask what solutions to the Gaza situation they are thinking of? I mean, we give aid and the Hamas use the money to build underground tunnels. They never allow the Palestinians to use those tunnels during Israeli strikes…and when we give food aid, Hamas has yet to organize their end so the Palestinians don’t crush each other getting their food/aid. Many gangs take this aid and sell it. Hamas is not helping their own people. And do the students ever ask the question why on October 6th when peace agreements were being reached for Israeli/Palestian leader(Hamas) overseen by Saudis…the very next day, Hamas invades Israelis and tortures, rapes and kills Israelis in their own homes taking many hostages…even ones who are Palestinians? And thenIsraelis feel betrayed by the way their own leader, has treated and handled this situation …marching like the students against their own government months before this invasion by Hamas happened. If Hamas and Israeli governments ,wanted peace they would not have responded like this. The war needs to end…but, do not blame the Jews who aren’t all,Israelis or then Israeli people except the far right faction nor the Palestinians people..the leaders on both sides are screwing the people, what they want.
