Now if only the European police had the same aggressive stance against the pro-Muslim lobby and all the migrant camps, then Europe would be a much better place. Dublin, London, Paris etc... are absolute holes compared to what they was years ago.

These Israelis are trembling in fear of these students,lots of these White students have lawyers on speed dial

The students are getting a masterclass in who actually holds power and privilege in America.

Declared a riot.

Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian scholar attending Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs on a student visa, disputed assertions that outsiders had initiated the occupation.

Somebody’s visa needs to get canceled. Who is this guy representing, really?

-14 ( +5 / -19 )

Riots. being led by the wife of a terrorist:

According to reports This likely refers to Sami Al-Arian's wife, who was observed earlier at the Columbia University Encampment. Sami Al-Arian faced charges of supporting the terrorist group "Palestinian Islamic Jihad" and served over four years in prison before being deported

gotra love how they whine and cry as they are drug out, arrested for felonies and expelled.

Crime is getting way, way out of control with these people Biden could care less, it's all about the voters. SMH.

-11 ( +5 / -16 )

If they're Biden voters, why would he?

Cause the actions of his voters are disapproved of by independents and other normal American people whose votes he needs.

Because he supports this, they won’t support him anymore.

student visas can be canceled for domestic terrorism related activities. Obviously.

Enough is enough -- no more support for Israel without conditions, and those conditions need to be ICC investigations of Israeli actions (and of course Palestinian), an immediate ceasefire, and that Netanyahu resign and earnest talks for a Palestinian state begin. The US should be ashamed of its carte blanche support and then meek requests for Netanyahu to "tone it down", and then saying they are against international investigations.

X cannot be considered a reliable source and can't be certified for accuracy. But none of the links provide any evidence of riots. You should not post fakes.

I stand by my original comment.

"Many of the demonstrations have been met with counter-protesters accusing them of fomenting anti-Jewish hatred"

Netanyahu and the war criminals in the IDF have done a much better job of that! At what stage is the blanket term of antisemitism going to be questioned? Complaining about genocide and war crimes is not antisemitism! It is pro humanity!

Ok, so the cameras made it all up. How can I say this without being overly offensive, but you need to stop, it is just embarrassing for you guys. If you film me punching someone, no matter how I try to deny it, the camera doesn't lie.

You can, no wrong in that.

Yes, there were.

Blacklabel: "Smashing windows attacking cops an barricading yourself on campus grounds don't look peaceful."

And yet you consider Jan 6th a peaceful protest and the capital rioters who have been jailed "hostages". Hmmm...

"What? ROFL"

Uh-oh! The nervous "ROFL"s are coming out, which means you know you're wrong and can't backtrack. Oops!

More and more brave young students from Universities all over the World are following the peaceful movement to support Palestinians. There's no antisemitism as many of the protesters are Jews who don't agree with what the Zionist regime of Israel is perpetrating against the Palestinians.

Israel will not recover from this. History will remember. STOP the genocide!!

M3, would It be wrong to suggest we were all students in some form or another.

Blouses chests bellowing in indignation at some global political travesty or war.

Nothing has changed. Why should it?

I have carried and fetched for UK so called political elite. They are neither an honourable or honest bunch.

The New York City police signed up and have a job to do.

Your links do not show a single riot. Just protestors resisting the police.

A riot is like what happened on Jan 6.

We do, but the difference is, that we don't pay to go to the Capitol, it's free Columbia University is not.

Many have paid for their Jan 6 riot and have been imprisoned.

There is no comparison between the university students' protests and the Jan 6 riots which tried to overthrow the constitution and stop the legal handover of power.

Yes, if I don’t support the riots, I don’t support Support these idiots attacking Jewish students and blocking them, I think these institution should be defunded, I think they have no business to destroy and block the campus and students from learning, I’m so glad this is not out of control in Texas as is on the East Coast, this is just insane, allowing thugs to get their way and for the left to make excuses.

That’s ok, I still believe the videos and footage, they don’t even have to open their mouth.

And left wing news outlets across the western world and parts of Asia (such as India) have a pro-Arab bias.

This was ended because it is an embarrassment to the administration, nothing more. Irrespective of the reason for the protest, it goes against the government's policy. The Land of the Free, ladies and gentlemen.

Of they can continue, I don’t have a problem with that, nobody has a problem with that, but if they start to riot, if they start to tear down stuff and try to barricade themselves inside anywhere in the school grounds, that is not going to be tolerated, and they’re already have been a lot of arrests, so people are kept on a short leash

Fox sharing an NYPD video means Fox isn’t the source, NYPD is.

same as Fox sharing the recent CNN and other polls that show Biden losing horribly.

Fox isnt the source of those polls or this video, so don’t worry!

There was once a period of time when far right outlets were biased in their reporting, but the horrific scale of disinformation by the likes of the BBC and NYT has allowed the far right to become the trustworthy news source.
