Septimaeus,

A lot has happened in the few days since this article was published, and is still happening.

Columbia University’s board is facing new pressure from a group of House Democrats to “act decisively”

In short, they did. Students and faculty are not happy right now.

They’re shifting to the right again. Always.

Democrats voted to make criticising Israel be considered antisemitism.

mwguy,

Criticism of Israel is one thing, but calling for “Oct 7th every day”, calling for religious war, openly backing not just Palestine but Hamas, saying Hamas I love your rockets isn’t a criticism of Israel, is an endorsement of Hamas.

relevants,

Ah right, and here I thought the point of the protest was calling for peace. Silly me!

natural_motions,

What does that make providing bombs to a government committing genocide?

NoIWontPickAName,

Also wrong

natural_motions,

And yet still legal.

NoIWontPickAName,

Legal does not mean right

natural_motions,

Yes. Which is why we can safely assume the censorship bill they’re introducing has nothing to do with actual antisemitism.

FrostyTheDoo,

Which is when people should be able to peacefully protest

NoIWontPickAName,

Do you think I disagree?

FrostyTheDoo,

I didn’t assume anything about you, I was just adding my piece

ieatpillowtags,

Sure, and is that what they voted to criminalize? Or was it actually just criticism of the state of Israel?

mwguy,

Nah that bill is pretty bunk and hopefully it gets thrown out super quick. My point is more that the things advocated for in these protests are pretty vile and heartless.

Alternative headline: Democrats show they want to lose the next presidentancy and Congress to facsiest.
