Three Barnard College students, including US lawmaker Ilhan Omar’s daughter Isra Hirsi, have been suspended for participation in an ongoing Gaza solidarity protest encampment at Columbia University in New York City.
The suspension of the three students came as university administrators called on the New York Police Department (NYPD) to dismantle the tents that had been set up earlier on Wednesday.
Several students told MEE that heavily armed police dressed in riot gear entered the university lawns on Thursday to tear down the 50-plus tents. By late Thursday afternoon, the camps were gone and dozens of students had been arrested.
The developments on Thursday followed the revelations that three students - Isra Hirsi, 21, along with Maryam Iqbal, 18, and Soph Dinu, 21 - had received letters earlier in the day informing them they had been suspended, effective immediately, due to refusing to pay heed to calls to end their protest.
You say, as you dismiss the 30,000+ deaths and counting in Palestine.
The same 1930s where the capitalists were all on board with fascism because they’d rather that than the communism that was rising thanks to the many grievances of the people? You know, like how the democrats promote fascism over the socialist programs that Bernie promoted? Democrats fought harder against Bernie than Trump. You couldn’t have picked a worse example to make your point. Congratulations, you played yourself.
Your poll talks about hamas vs israel. That’s like asking if you approve of osama bin laden or the Iraq war. Further down on your link, it asks if people think biden is striking the right balance on israel and the highest option is “not sure” at 40% with the second option being “favoring the israelis too much” at 22%. Another case of you playing yourself. Also, your poll was from back in february and more and more people are seeing israel for the genocidal apartheid regime that it is. My poll is more clear in its question of asking about israel’s actions in Gaza and the majority clearly do not approve. My poll is from march.
You’re done playing yourself? Congratulations! I just hope you can find it in your heart to stop simping for genocide and stop defending a strategy where the democratic party actively promotes fascists to make themselves look better.
There were even more civilian deaths in the Russian wars against Chechnya, yet communists were all on board.
That’s terrible, but I don’t know what that has to do with this discussion.
They say, implying the US president could have stopped it with one phone call, or simply stopped giving the weapons to the people doing the killing.
It’s amazing the leaps of logic these assholes will go to trying to rationalize still being the good guys while directly causing a genocide.
Self-righteousness is a hell of a drug.
