Many Columbia University faculty members ‘furious’ over arrest of student protesters
Protests against Israel's war on Gaza are growing at Universities across the US.
These are the scenes at Columbia University, where students are camping out despite dozens of arrests on Monday.
Students from Massachusetts to California are calling for Universities to cut ties with US companies that profit from the war.
Al Jazeera’s Kristen Saloomey is monitoring the latest developments outside Columbia University.
A lecturer at Columbia University, Professor Bassam Khawaja, says a number of faculty members are “really furious” over the arrest of more than 100 pro-Palestine protesters who gathered at the school’s campus in New York City.
Khawaja said that when the university president made the decision to call the police onto campus, despite the university senate’s objection, many faculty members were “furious”.
“One hundred of us came to and stood on the steps to protest this decision, [and] 54 members of the law school’s permanent faculty wrote to the president objecting to it,” he told Al Jazeera.
“So, there’s quite a bit of anger among the faculty,” he said.
“Anti-Semitism has no place on our campus … we need to be clear that advocating for Palestinian rights is not itself anti-Semitic,” he added.

I would urge faculty members to resign. That's the only way to force administrators of the university to cave in.

I'd like to suggest some recent discussions: Mr. Douglas Murray and Mr. Mosab Hassan Yousef by the Free Press And a debate between Mr. Marc Lamont Hill and Mr. Mosab Hassan Yousef. More effective than to stand outside screaming....
Holier-than-thou speaker Johnson doing a photo op with only Jewish students whom I've no doubt will inflate anything they've seen as being a threat to them personally, insults our intelligence. This has nothing to do with a persons religion for or against, it has everything to do with the ongoing genocidal words and actions against all Palestinians in Gaza, making no differentiation between Hamas and innocent civilian men, women and children, by the Israeli government.

Imposing your selective conception of ' genocide ' as cover to delegitimise Israel - and agitate openly for listed terror groups - are both brazenly and incontrovertibly unadulterated exhibitions of Jew- hatred. Patent indifference thereto constitutes whole complicity, regardless of pathetic ex-post facto statements of distancing. Btw...when last did you demonstrate (on a similar scale ) against the mass -killing of civilians??? Examples abound - just ask!

Reminds me of 1930s Germany. But I’m willing to trust our youth to dictate what we haven’t learned from history and who claim to know about a conflict that they just learned about a few years ago.
Hahahahahaha. Wait until these "students" have to apply for a real job, and they get hit with the question "Have you ever been arrested?" (Because its not like the question on a crappy retail job: "Have you ever been convicted of a felony?") and they have to answer "yes" and their resume gets flipped over to go to the next resume where the person doesn't have that history.

Better to *fear God, rather than men. Acts 5:29 *Fear is not terror of God's condemnation; but rather deep respect for His discipline upon us; He being our loving Father. Read “The Prodigal Son”. (a wayward son who squanders his inheritance but returns home to find that his father forgives him.) --Paul Tripp, The Right Kind Of Fear, The Gospel: One Letter At A Time, June 2022
I really support the actions of students who support Palestine in America. Students as scientific people must stand in the midst of conflict against human rights violations that occur in Palestine and other human rights violations in other parts of the world for the sake of brotherhood and democracy. Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was brotherhood and mutual respect between fellow human beings throughout the world...? If we can do this, the earth will be peaceful and happy. All religions teach love and brotherhood, let's protect it in order to maintain the quality of democracy and the sustainability of the human species and the sustainability of civilized development so that we can pass this earth on to our future children and grandchildren.
Professional victims.

If they want to divest from Isreal on humanitarian ground then they should divest from all nation that has criminalized LGBTQ human rights, rights to change or renounce once faith without facing death. Divest should include authoritarian Qatar Saudi pretty much any country that has such religious laws. For progressives human rights of gay Arab must be no different than that of a Palestinian, justice for LGBTQ community should be no different than a Palestinian. If u don’t want to be hypocrites that use this opportunity for both cause.

"Many Columbia University faculty members ‘furious’ over arrest of student protesters"... Well, then, they should have stopped when the administrator of the school asked them to stop. They were trespassing because they would not leave when asked. That's why they were arrested and rightfully so. The school campus is private property.

Different types of REAL antisemitism: True antisemitism: hate of all Jewish people, specifically for their faith, culture, and/or ethnicity. Antisemitism by proxy: hate of Israel’s actions, unfairly extrapolated to all Jewish people. *This is an important one because, while the antisemitic sentiment is real, it does not come from an antisemitic place; but rather from a place of outrage against Israel’s actions. If Israel were to stop their human rights violations, this goes away. What antisemitism ISN’T:-------> protests and criticism of Israel for their egregious crimes against humanity.
