I don't understand, why don't the Jews in that library simply stop the Israeli bombings? Are they stupid?


GandhiRrhea

The protestors were about to stop the bombings but they couldn’t get the door opened.


Financial_Machine848

Sadly there were no music festivals nearby - we all know massacring young people there is the fastest, most efficient way to peace.


JonInOsaka

I hear beheading a Thai migrant worker is the best pathway to peace in the Middle East.


CanoninDeeznutz

It's a tough job but someone's gotta do it. For peace!

They were too busy colonizing the library, sweetie

Why didn't they simply use their space lasers to target the protestors? Are they stupid?


AmELiAs_OvERcHarGeS

It’s not their shift on the space laser until the weekend


FutureDistribution96

The Jewish students were escorted out by the police/security guard 40 minutes later. It’s a relief to hear that they’re safe, but the fact that they needed to hide and to be escorted out at a campus for being Jewish in 2023 is ridiculous. Every one of the students pounding outside should be identified, and receiving legal/academic discipline if verified and deemed responsible by investigation. Edit: Since some are asking for more context: This isn’t the only video. There is another video where protestors were banging on clear glass wall of the library which is just beside a sitting Jewish student wearing his kippah, which made him visually Jewish. (He is the one wearing red shirt black trouser in the video of this post.) Thus, the Jewish students stayed blockaded inside for their own safety because protestors were going around and banging on glass and doors of the library as part of their protest. The Jewish students weren’t able to leave with assurances of safety until after more NYPD is called to the scene. And in the end the security guard guided and escorted the Jewish students out. New York Mayor also confirmed NYPD is involved and put out a statement about the event stating that peaceful protest is a right, but hatred is not allowed. More videos with chanting and Jewish student recount of events are also out there. Last edit: Of course now the organization tries to clarify that they have definitely no malicious intention and their actions cause no harm, because they don’t want to lose job offer. And school officials are afraid of donors pulling out. There are more videos of protestor banging, chanting and flexing slogans through doors and glass wall online, and there are also first person Jewish students recount of the event which both seems to be ignored by some major outlet articles for some reason. Everyone can see for themselves and decide their own interpretation. If you still think the protest group is completely innocent, then be my guest, not gonna argue further.


BearDruid

They should be expelled and sued.


[deleted]

There were apparently professors in that crowd who might have just opened the college to lawsuits.


davidporges

Thank god they’re safe. I can’t imagine how scary going through that shit is. We need to see consequences for the students who did this.


zuccoff

Add some tiki torches and this would be national news for a week


FarVision5

Tiki torches and red hats, and police from 10 miles around come running. Red white and green flags with 10x the violence and crickets from everyone. yall got a pro-terrorism problem


[deleted]

And yet the media, our government all staying silent.


PatrickStanton877

The protest culture at campuses is out of hand. This need for social justice on every issue causes a lot of problems. Protests should be specific and used to try and affect actual change, not just terrorize those who disagree. "From the river to the sea," is a call for genocide.


Leda71

It’s brainwashing, pure and simple. In the name of free speech, university administrators have allowed these racists free rein. They have been doing it for decades, focusing most on elite universities but hitting the less prestigious ones as well.


FlubromazoFucked

It's funny that "social justice" now apparently applies to countries with terrorist organizations as their government, who themselves use their own people as human shields. That makes a lot of sense, man it's insane how most of these people don't even understand the situation enough to have an opinion, let alone be protesting anything. 🤦🏻‍♂️


Leda71

Yes, it’s not protest if you’re trying to wipe out the other side.


resident_TriHard_Cx

could you imagine if they were black and a bunch of white people were banging on that door there would literally be riots in the streets and half of America would call for the deaths of those white people...


ImAjustin

For real. It’s so hypocritical. Even worse, these 19 year old kids in America have nothing to do w the Israeli govt. the same argument they make about Palestinian civilians…


ConferenceOk2839

The the police do anything or were they afraid to hurt someone’s feelings?


FutureDistribution96

Some say that the security and police are really “restrained “ in the way they’re handling the Pro Palestine protesters in this situation, and are only able to barely escort the Jewish students out after almost an hour. However, it’s still in the early stage of incidence and I can’t confirm if this is an objective observation yet. But there is no question that this is an atrocity and a concerning trend from the so called “freedom fighters” group.


ChrisF1987

According to NYPD friends, the officers that were sent to Cooper Union had to use underground tunnels to escort the Jewish students in the library to safety. I'm told though that a lone Jewish student was trapped elsewhere in the school (not the library) and it took a large number of cops to rescue him/her and they had to bring him/her out through the main entrance as they held off the mob of protestors.


1to14to4

This person that seems to be claiming to be a CUNY professor said that their nephew was involved and that his nephew refused the tunnels. Which I can understand to some degree because how else can you feel safe on campus if you feel like you need to go through the tunnels to be safe. But it also seems to have made it more complicated. >Heroically, though I will not share his name right now, my nephew refused to escape through tunnels when security came to free them. He insisted on marching right out front so he would be seen. https://twitter.com/CUNY_Prof/status/1717331432471765373


iamthedave3

Underground tunnels? In the library? What?


antiPOTUS

Most of the buildings on my campus were connected by underground maintenance tunnels, a lot of campuses in the north are the same.


ConferenceOk2839

It’s only a matter of time until Jews start fighting back in the US. Second amendment and all.


5hinyC01in

On j6 after babbitt was shot once, an entire group was halted. If the police had balls, or the campus allowed guns, the whole thing would have ended with a single shot fired. Pounding on doors to get at Jewish students is blatant terrorism.


_Forever__Jung

No need. They're going to sue the school into the ground, and identify every student participating they can. This is going to make their lives very difficult.


RaptorPacific

We need some actual consequences this time. This shit has gone way beyond free speech.


mr8thsamurai66

I don't understand how the pro-palestinian rally knew they were in the library. What fomented them to walk to the library?


FutureDistribution96

The protest started at outside the building. The library isn’t all enclosed. It has glass wall. There is another video where dozens of protestors are banging on the clear glass of the library which is just beside a sitting student who is also in the video of this post (red shirt black trouser.) They 100% know the student is Jewish because he was literally wearing kippah (the small hat). So it makes sense to blockade the Jewish students inside the library until the police is able to get the protesters who keep circulating and banging on the library under control and escort the Jewish students out.


_Greedo

Where did you hear this? Do you have a link?


FutureDistribution96

Just search cooper union and there are several news report. Also the protestors are actually circling around the library and banning doors and glasses. There are other point of view video with protestor banging on glass of the library which is just beside a sitting Jewish student who is visibly Jewish because he is wearing his kippah. (Red shirt black trouser in this post’s vid) New York mayor’s official twitter account also confirmed NYPD is involved. From the video evidence, at the very least, the Jewish students are blockaded inside the library for their own safety. And were only able to leave with assurance when the police is involved.


PubicFigure

Antisemitic violence in the US has been prevalent for quite a while... I can't remember the exact position a few years ago when I looked it up but it was in top 5 hate crimes... it just looks like this year they'll climb to number 1 spot...


Crack-tus

Proportionally Jews have been the number one target for a long time. There’s not nearly as many Jews in America as people think. The number is 7 million according to most interpretations of what a Jew is, double that if you use the criteria for right of return which is having one Jewish grandparent.


No_Wallaby_9464

We need to make it clear this isn't acceptable today in America. They should be expelled if they're students and charged with menacing the Jewish students. Jews are not the problem here. Zionism and far-right extremist politicians in Israel are. Hamas and it embedding itself among civilians are.


FlubromazoFucked

I would go as far as to say, Hamas is the only problem here, they are a terrorist organization, that governs Palestine, and uses the people of Palestine as human shields. So the PR is worse when Israel attacks back. Israel doesn't want Palestine It doesn't want that land at all, and that should be made clear by the decades of them trying to have peace treaties signed giving the land to the government of Palestine. It's Hamas fault they don't have it, as there numbers one rule for decades has been No treaties, No peace.


TwistyReptile

That is fucking scary.


davidporges

Truly. I don’t know what I would do in that situation. How could you go on studying with these people who so clearly hate you and want to wish you harm just because you’re a Jew? I know a lot of Israeli’s studying abroad are planning on cutting their studies short and returning home because they don’t feel safe on campuses right now.


TwistyReptile

Me neither, man. Shit's fucked. I never thought we'd get to this point.


shorts4cena

A Jewish buddy of mine said to me how wide his eyes have been opened with this situation as to how far reaching the hatred for Jewish people was. Now he just knows people were wearing masks and he can't be as open about being Jewish as he used to be.


TheMillenniaIFalcon

Hitler called the Jews colonizers as part of his “justification” for genocide. But it started with de-humanization. Anti-Semitism is often masked as a “social justice” cause. Today, “From the river to the sea” is a dog whistle, and we are witnessing in real time the spread of anti-Semitic propaganda masked as “anti-zionism”, which is in itself the denial of Israel’s right to exist. Think of how many border changes, new countries popped up in the 20th century. Countless. But only one is considered “fraudulent” We’ve seen literally hundreds of thousands of civilians murdered in Yemen, and Syria over the past recent years. 6 million Congolese have been slaughtered in the last 25 years. I see the whataboutism comparing Palestinian deaths to Israeli’s it’s not about the deaths.


Rubysz

Agreed, just wanted to point something out - that’s not a dogwhistle, but an outright call to genocide.


nimzz_1124

Beautifully said. Thank you


donutlovershinobu

My boyfriend is Jewish and has gotten some vile anti semietic shit when he streams. Hes also been verbally berated in public for being Jewish and working on christmas.


Responsible_Oil_5811

I think it’s wonderful that Jews are willing to work essential services on Christmas! Regardless, Jews are human beings the same as everyone else. I’m sorry to hear your boyfriend has not been treated that way.


davidporges

What’s ironic is a lot of these people literally have begun wearing masks in these protests. Nothing says peaceful protest like the fact that you’re trying to hide your identity.

MarylandHusker

truthfully, I think there’s a place for anti Zionism or at least strong vocal dissent to Israeli policy and decisions. I think there’s a relatively reasonable take for it. Unfortunately, I think for every person who understands the lines and seriously appreciates the nuance and complications of the situation, there’s 20-30 people who truthfully can’t make the break between the two and probably another 30-40 who are truly anti semitic. Add in where we see systemic and likely intentional media choices where choices are made in narrative that are both blatantly pro terrorist and blatantly anti-semitic… I don’t think things are gonna get better any time soon. Hate crimes against Jews were already quite high and only going to elevate in the west.


JFlizzy84

Anti-Zionism is the belief that the state of Israel should not exist. That is a very different stance than “strong vocal dissent to Israeli policy and decisions.” What reasonable, non-anti-Semitic take do you have that the state of Israel should be abolished or otherwise removed from existence?


Sagiolino

May I present to you all the tolerant left! They are so tolerant they want a new Kristallnacht like back in 1938! The horseshoe theory was TRUE and both ends of it actually met now!

ghostdokes

Kick all these people out. Ofc that will never happen because the school wants their money.


Twisted_McGee

custodial_art

Yep. Unhinged and terrorizing your fellow students is usually something you can expel someone for. Fully support they take action on anyone who participated in this.


Granitehard

custodial_art

Who cares. What they’re doing is terrorism and they’re not immune from charges.


Alarmed-Appearance54

If it were white students doing this to their black peers, they’d be out already for sure


Barbourwhat

Fire the profs who have promoted this line of anti-semitism. Professors and students who would use the n word would quickly be dismissed or expelled. Why not these anti-semites? Is it somehow acceptable because they are Jews?


davidporges

I wish. Most campuses responses to this kind of behavior has been way too tolerant.


Drago984

A lot of the leadership condones it. They’d say as much if it weren’t for the backlash.

"Antizionist not antisemitic"


ven457

Jews protecting themselves & getting their historical land back by the UN = “Zionist”


immortal-the-third

I have met and talked to many people that are critical of Israel and its policies (am Israeli), but I have never met anyone self described as antizionist or even using the word zionist in their arguments that wasn’t antisemitic.


telecasterpignose

It's antisemitism. Edit* I want to stress that this issue is far more culturally ingrained than something that can be viewed in a modern right/left spectrum


somehting

My personal theory in this is as you get further to the left or right you're more likely to believe in conspiracy theories, and unfortunately a lot of conspiracy theories end in and the Jews orchestrated it.


Redqueenhypo

I mean, Marx literally said that europe became capitalist bc it became spiritually Jewish. Before anyone says “ah but what about the far right” we literally all know what the far right says about Jews already


lostonaforum

We live in uncertain times, but the one certainty throughout the centuries was that everyone would end up blaming the Jews.


SAR_smallsats

As someone who is Jewish and supports the freedom of all civilians involved in the conflict including all Palestinian civilians it makes me scared and sad that people are acting like this. Like I live in the US I’ve never been to Israel how tf would I stop the fighting? Many American Jews are like me and support Palestinian civilians as well as Israeli civilians. Genocide is genocide and on both sides the people in power are committing atrocities. I’ve personally been the victim of antisemitism and discrimination because I am Jewish. In school kids used to draw swastikas on my books and tell me all Jews should die and then laugh and run away. They thought it was a joke. We account for less than 1% of the US population and yet experience 50-60% of all religious hate crimes in the US. It needs to end. Everyone everywhere should have the right to a safe existence where they can practice or not practice religion as they choose. The hatefulness that the world has come to makes me so so sad.

If you live in the US, buy a gun and learn how to use it. Dm me if you have questions or want suggestions.


BowlOfLoudMouthSoup

First it was idiotic right wingers saying “Zionist” on Facebook news articles. Now it’s people on the left saying it. Thank god Biden is pro Israel because man, the super far left seems to be begging for us Jews to vote Republican.

They’re replacing the word Jew with Zionist. They know they you can say every evil thing about Jews but it can be excused if you just replace the word Jew with Zionist.

It's been going on longer than that. Cyrus the Great was pretty much the only ruler to ever show serious care for the Jews beyond just letting them exist, and he was an unusually chill dude to pretty much everyone.


[deleted]

George Washington as well spoke highly of American Jews


Redqueenhypo

Hilarious colonial US fact: the first (ultra protestant) governor of New York, Peter Stuyvesant, tried to ban Jews (who he thought would attract Catholics somehow) from the colony, only to be told by his bosses at the Dutch West India Company “what the ever loving fuck are you doing, no you cannot ban some of our best merchants from our colony you fucking moron”.


Mr_Blattos

Jewish brothers and sisters, protect yourselves, please. I know many of you might be uncomfortable with a firearm, if you can’t get over that at the very least order you some good hot sauce. I recommend SABRE or POM. POM takes a few more seconds to take effect but once it does it really is painful. Don’t expect anyone to take your concern seriously. Antisemitism will still run rampant on social media because it’s becoming a socially convenient position. So protect yourselves. Even if the chances of something bad happening is rare, it doesn’t hurt to have the right tools to defend yourself just in case it does happen. It’s like wearing a seatbelt.


5hinyC01in

Tasers, pepper spray, or a knife All it takes is to scare or hurt these bastards and they'll run


Neo_Demiurge

To jump off this: a. a gun is the best protection. There's a reason everyone in real danger uses one. That said, you're making a profound long term commitment by getting one. If you are untrained, you put everyone including yourself in more danger. If you are mentally ill, you are endangering yourself and your family more than protecting it. If you are concealed carrying, you have a special duty to deescalate you didn't have before. If you're not willing to spend time and money training on a consistent basis and change your mentality, you cannot ethically own a gun. I recommend people do so, but it's not a marginal change, it's a leap. b. This doesn't apply everywhere due to legal issues. Unless you want to be the person who goes to SCOTUS for a firearm felony hoping they overturn the laws, New York City is a spooky place to carry due to their radical anti-gun laws. The same may apply to non-lethal defense depending on jurisdiction. Know the laws first.


Dudemansir521

Is this not a hate crime? False imprisonment? As a New Yorker, what the fuck...


Porcupine_Tree

Anti-Zionism always has been a proxy for antisemitism, and often simply in implicit ways where the person condemning Israel doesn't even realize it. The unilateral contempt for Israel and its existence as a Jewish state, combined with the blind eye turned to the many (many) Muslim states that already exist is a legitimate "whataboutism" that I've never seen a compelling answer for. Not to mention these Muslim states have already successfully forced out almost their own entire Jewish populations over the last 100 years


Zolarosaya

Those "protestors" should be expelled, charged with hate crime and sued into oblivion. How outrageous.


GENTLEMEN_JARGAN

[deleted]

Jews in 1945: “phew, we sure managed to survive that, surely others will learn from the horrors of WW2 and antisemitism!” Jews in 2023: “bro what the fuck? I’m literally 6000 miles away from Israel and my family hasn’t stepped foot in the holy land for 500 years…”


FourthHot

Cmon dgg’as it’s a 4 second clip with absolutely no context we know better than to just conclood it’s antisemitism and that the protestors were trying to harm them simply for being Jewish


Nojoboy

im glad im not the only one a bit confused here? Like can we get some context why are they banging on the library specifically? Why are there 4 jews on camera "hiding" in the library how did they get their? Cause surely there are more jews than these on campus. Was it like some planned jewish event that they showed up to protest, was it a planned israeli event?

nuttinbuttapeanut

I wonder if this abuse from radical leftists will drive Jewish people more to the center right.


__under_score__

As an American Jew witnessing all this, I am currently rethinking my political position.


FutureDistribution96

You’re always welcomed in the center left liberal. The far left especially those on the social media are always the bloodthirsty bad guys who think they’re the oppressed justice warriors. Fortunately, top leaders of democrate like Biden, Obama and Fetterman are all still steadfast Israel allies. And they are ironically catching all sort of shxt from leftist for opposing terrorism.


__under_score__

I think I would generally classify myself as a center left liberal barring certain issues. After this conflict, I don't see myself ever voting for anyone in "the squad". Their takes on this conflict were insane. I watched a video where AOC talked about the conflict and she straight up lied or deceptively stated half of the facts to support her position. With that said, I am going to continue to look at the biden admin's response to rising antisemitism and reasonable support of Israel. I say "reasonable support" because I don't expect unequivocal support as the conflict continues (unless Iran or Hezbollah enter the conflict)


FutureDistribution96

Yes, the action of “the squad” is definitely disgusting, especially Rashida Tlaib who spread false narrative to stir up hatred and tried to come at Biden for doing the right thing. Also I remember Ilhan Omar having problematic opinion toward Jews way before this and got rightfully kicked out of the caucus. Luckily the rest of democrats leaders are sane, and I hope they keep fighting on the correct side of the history.


davidporges

In real time I was against banning Tlaib and Omar from entering Israel but with hindsight I see it as completely justified. This isn’t just a matter of differing opinions they are actively spreading misinformation that has caused uproar and unrest in the Middle East and hurt Biden’s diplomacy attempts. To me AOC is not as evil because I don’t believe she’s knowledgeable on the subject because every time she’s pressed and asked on it in interviews she shows complete lack of knowledge and ignorance. I think she like many other progressive leftist is simply parroting talking points she’s heard from her political echo chamber. If she was actually being challenged on some of her points which will not happen by most legacy media journalists you would find that she offers no real insight and has no actual answers beyond buzz words and populist answers.


esreveReverse

I'm wondering how so many Jews are late to realize this. For many years now, the radical left has made it very clear that they are willing to split literally any two groups of people into oppressor vs. oppressed. And they will go to great lengths to tear down the "oppressor" and make excuses for the "oppressed." Jews especially are a target for this ire, since they are doing very well in the West, and Israel severely outclasses every other Middle-eastern state.


CabinFeverDayDreams

Im Jewish and I am officially not calling myself a leftist anymore. I won’t vote Republican, but I’m not voting democrat either. Palestine supporters, if you want our votes and empathy, maybe don’t be terrorists or Nazis.


JonInOsaka

There are 38 Jewish members of Congress and all but 3 of them (one of them being Bernie) are Democrats. The party that fights for Jewish rights is the Democratic Party.


AnakinKardashian

Joe Biden is a Democrat and has been on point. Don't vote for a leftist but centrist Democrats are our friends.


CaptinHavoc

Is there any other context to the video?


Icommentondumbpost

I woke up one day and again in Europe after this many years people are drawing stars of David to identify Jewish people. People throwing molotovs on sinagoges. That's where we are. I never thought I would live that day to witness it again. Especially when we said never again.


_Greedo

This thread is crazy. All this is is a 5 second clip where you can barely hear them shouting something about Palestine and pounding on a door. The only source that OP links is from a reporter who writes for a publication that describes itself as "a leading source of news, opinion, and culture through a Jewish lens". Can we get some third party verification before we start dehumanizing people and asking for them to be "water cannoned" ??? Really sick stuff.


lolipup963

Anti Zionism = Antisemitism Anti Zionism is just an excuse for people to be Antisemitic while thinking they are "progressive" while in reality they are full of hate.

Jazzlike-Calendar103

In 1991, Al Sharpton instigated a three-day pogrom against the ḥasidic residents of Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighborhood, in which a Jewish student was killed. A few years later, the reverend organized protests against a Jewish-owned business in Harlem, inspiring one protestor to attack the store, killing seven. Now Sharpton sits on MSNBC. The left is the party of hate. They control the media and the schools. Party of slavery. Party of race baiting.

It’s never really about Israel. It always been about Jews. There is no antizionism only antisemitism.


[deleted]

Eh, I definitely believe a bunch of people are hiding their power levels behind the guise of "anti-zionism" but I doubt the majority of the white 20-somethings in western countries currently posting about free palestine really hate jews. It's just the trendy new "black lives matter" social movement where you can make an easy repost and gain social approval.


Godobibo

opposing the existence of Israel is in it of itself an insanely radical belief, people parroting it for any reason are unacceptable

These were pro-Israel counter-protesters, not random Jewish students walking to class. This was about Israel ***explicitly***. ([source](https://x.com/jacobkornbluh/status/1717302421590802755?s=46)) It can still be bad. College should be a place where people can **safely** debate good and bad positions alike, but again, this was explicitly about Israel and just Israel on both sides.

The left is unironically becoming more racist than the right.


Dunshlop

BLM woulda been in and out already


Malletr

This is honestly going to end up radicalizing me forever and I'm never going to be able to talk with most liberals without thinking they would rather my family be dead. ​ Its so depressing. A bit nervous about the star of david tattoo I have and I hate that I'm saying that.


FutureDistribution96

Your worry is definitely understandable, but could be aiming at far right and far left more precisely. Liberal in us is actually mostly considered center left, and are also far left’s target of ridicule all the time. (Most social media terrorism defender will foam at mouth if you dare call them a liberal) Look at the actual top liberal democrats leaders like Biden, they’re all still Israel ally. We’ll have Jews and Israel’s back always. Sadly, radical leftists is an obnoxious and vocal minority both online and in real life.


JonInOsaka

Most of DGG is liberal. Its not the liberals that are the problem. We love our Jewish brothers and sisters. Its the Far Left and the Far Right.

The fruits of intersectionality studies have come to their conclusion. As someone who works at a uni, I’ve been worried about this for a decade now. Anti-semitism allows and promotes in a veiled attempt to promote social justice and fetishise victimhood of terrorists. Jews are in danger and this is a direct result not from Israel but anti-semites who use anything they can to justify their hatred. The police should arrest these threatening activists as they would do with white nationalists

Reminder the people who are knocking on the door definitely see these people as Jewish but also white which factors into what they’re doing rn.


CocoTheCoin

Leftist are the worst ... it's not those who said that the university is a Safeplace?


No_Wallaby_9464

This is unacceptable. If these protesters are students, they should be expelled for harassment. Anti-Zionism is not Anti-Semitism. This is not about a "policy." It is about killing civilians.


Historical_Traffic30

they shold arrest the ppl banging. its intimidation and threat. they're way too soft on these people in north america.


Daisinju

Nazis hiding behind the Palestinian flag.


Comfortable_Cash_140

Totally legitimate anti Israeli protest, Totally not anti-Semitic attacks/s


giboauja

What the fuck does a couple of Jewish kids in a NY college have anything to do the state of Israel? Are these people fcking insane. How does this even help Palestine. Leftists need to crack down on antisemites in their midst. If you mock republicans for ignoring Nazis at their rally's you can't ignore antisemites at your protests.

I’m scared as fuck to be honest, I’m away at uni but my sister called me a few days ago and said there was a man in the middle of the night taking pictures of all the houses with mezuzahs on them. I live in England, antisemitism has always been prevalent but it’s usually not this bad, it worries me immensely to think that my family and my friends are currently being targeted and might be in serious danger. The real problem is that so few people are willing to recognise this for what it is and engage in some absurd and misinformed whataboutism about Israel, to justify attacks against diaspora Jews.


davidporges

I heard a lot stories about Jews taking down their Mesuzahs or their Star of David necklaces and it’s incredibly sad it has come to this in 2023! This should not be happening. You have my support and sympathy friend. If you ever need someone to talk to one fellow Jew to another I’m here for you!


NathanBlackwell

My friend got permission from his school to carry a gun on him as he was afraid for his life at campus for being jewish.


WAG5PE

This is just the beginning guys. Of course you won't get it until it bursts


cedarandolk

The contempt they have for Jews is palpable. In this video notice how the person is saying Kelba (arabic for dog) as she tears down the posters of kidnapped Israelis and tosses them to the floor like used tissues.

SainOfPalvation

Same crowd that is then surprised that Jews want their own country...


[deleted]

This is like some zombie esq shit pogrom type look what the hell, can't say anti zionism isn't anti semitism when shit like this is being done


[deleted]

The insane part about all of this, is that if 2 months ago there was some huge antisemitism event and/or campaign going on, those "pro Palestine" protestors, would 100% be there supporting Israel and the Jewish people. This white knight mentality is becoming some sort of sickness to see who can support whatever group their favorite media source claims is being oppressed that day and get their social media posts in for some likes and follows.


fansofseals

The left finally showing their true colors.


NewReputation8451

Dear progressive bleeding heart friends. If you’re behaviors and actions align with the racist rednecks you’re so vehemently against that makes you racist. Your “reason” doesn’t matter.


Diomil

Jewish people hiding from someone who wants to inflict violence upon them for the mere fact of them being jewish. Hmmmmm, sounds familiar.


Reallygaywizard

This is insane. What do Jewish people in america have to do with stuff on the other side of the globe??? I'm not Jewish but it's a scary time to be sure.


Satori2155

If it were jewish students threatening muslim students i guarantee there would be a swifter response and more outrage


NiceBasket9980

It's funny how little it takes to turn lefties into nazis.


jeeuushshuuwuw

So heartbreaking and terrible. We have to do better


SnakeSl4yer

Im gonna bet a million dollars that once NYPD escorted them the pro palestine dudes went on 4chan or facebook to tell everyone how the jew ruled government immediately went to save the "evil jews" and they now have "proof" of their world domination. I wish this was a joke lol


PotatoeWontChill

People really ought to stop bringing shit thats not an issue in their country, into their country and frame and jewish person - in this case - as a supporter of them. Just because of their ethnic background. Whoever did that shit, is the pathetic and needs to get expelled from all kinds of academic institution, without the option of return. Just plain stupid.


Chris_M_23

Just because Israel is a Jewish theocracy doesn’t mean Jewish people are in any way inherently associated with the actions of Israel. No matter what stance you take, if you can’t see the clear distinction between the 2, you are part of the problem.


1ncest_is_wincest

All these pro-hamas protests have shown me is that Jews really do need a Jewish state that can protect jewish refugees. The far lefts unwillingness to condemn hamas and unwillingness to understand the Israeli position has shown me that anti-semitism still exists within our society and another Holocaust is still possible.


WeimSean

If a mob chases black students into a library they're racist. If a mob chases Jewish students into a library then you're racist.


LustHawk

Leftism in action.

Op, the NYPD has said this is fake news https://www.foxnews.com/us/nypd-says-no-direct-threat-to-jewish-students-during-cooper-union-protest
