Is there a good reason you didn’t cover THIS today? Of course not. Shame on you.

How does protesting at the Columbia Library change anything- The person in power is sitting in DC

isensiel.bsky.social•44 days ago

Yeah... this makes about as much sense as protesting a breakfast buffet.

shannonpeel.bsky.social•44 days ago

Are protests even effective?

Sure back in the 60s when they were violent and JFK sat in the Oval Office

But today?

What modern day protest affected change?

belljan670.bsky.social•44 days ago

They're not intended to be. The whole intention is simply to cause unrest in the western world. It's the beginning of the takeover by islamists. I'll bet the majority of these people aren't even students. Some are paid and some are islamists, or both. Unfortunately, some of our students are gullible

shannonpeel.bsky.social•44 days ago

I’m talking about all protests. Including

Occupy WallStreet
BLM
Me Too
Environmental
AntiTrump
Anti mask
ProIsreali
ProPalestine
March for Women
March for Lives

Etc…

Do they work to instigate change?

belljan670.bsky.social•44 days ago

No, and neither will the pro-Palestinian ones. For the time being, our culture in the west still upholds truth, integrity and honour. Hopefully we always will. It's what our forefathers fought and died for.

ginafly.bsky.social•44 days ago

Well this was a helpful thread bc I was able to block a bunch of genocide apologists.

Student protests have always been on the right side of history and this is no different.

Free Free Palestine.

phan-878.bsky.social•44 days ago

Students actually going to the campus library, that's novel.

kaizhen.bsky.social•44 days ago

Why don't these fools go protest at Raytheon or some shit???? They'll probably show up to protest Ilan Omar and AOC, but they won't go protest at Haliburton or at any republican event at all.

kaizhen.bsky.social•44 days ago

This is how we got Trump. This is how we get more Trump.

belljan670.bsky.social•44 days ago

Partly, don't forget we're stupid enough to let men participate in women's sports and sterilize innocent children.

belljan670.bsky.social•44 days ago

These people aren't 'pro-Palestine'.

trishmm.bsky.social•44 days ago

Look at the cowards hiding their face. I hope the ones that did break in get expelled.

belljan670.bsky.social•44 days ago

Me too, except I'll bet half of them or more aren't even students.

automax.bsky.social•44 days ago

they were Columbia students, you fucking hacks.

And just ine of them has more courage in their pinky finger than the entire editorial board of CNN, you absolute worms

thatmanglenn.bsky.social•44 days ago

Nope.

Some are hiding their faces and wearing “Arabian houndstooth” scarves

They aren’t proper hard. They’re rich kids playing at rebellion.

Guarantee they come from money and when faced with expulsion they’ll cave.

Shalom

automax.bsky.social•44 days ago

“arabian houndstooth” lmfao… You should cook your brain more and see what it comes up with

thatmanglenn.bsky.social•44 days ago

One time allowance from myself to myself to address a lesser life form:

Fake Edge lord Mohammed bin fucked: You ever wonder why you’re chewing on sand, shitting over a hole and hiding in caves?

You think allah was last to the party in Israel bc he’s better?

Go fuck a camel & call her sister.

belljan670.bsky.social•44 days ago

So very well said! Thank you.

automax.bsky.social•44 days ago

have you ever been outside

democratsarelosers.bsky.social•44 days ago

Hope they get kicked out of our COUNTRY FOREVER!

teresajh.bsky.social•44 days ago

Only the right wing or opportunists can't tell the difference between a pro Palestinian protest and pro hamas.

chilleemack.bsky.social•44 days ago

A lot of people here are upset that these students are hiding their faces and wasting their time. Just to let you know, EVERY year the Klu Klux Klan do a march in some town or small city, faces covered in a mask, “protecting” their true identity. Same outrage? Should be.

chilleemack.bsky.social•44 days ago

You may not like the message, but both are expressing their rights and freedoms. Yes, some will take advantage of it, as the KKK do EVERY year, but that’s the price we pay for them. So if you are mad at these students, give the same energy to the klan march.

belljan670.bsky.social•44 days ago

The klan march doesn't cost the country millions of dollars in police security and untold misery, violence, damage and anxiety to millions of innocent people world wide. Try comparing apples to apples pal.

chilleemack.bsky.social•44 days ago

Wow! A historical hate group that does this every year does not affect police security money, misery, violence, damage, and anxiety? I’ll give you that they do not affect the world, but neither do these students. Don’t just focus on what the news wants you to see now and not on your history as well.

belljan670.bsky.social•44 days ago

If you're so concerned with slavery and history, don't forget all the white Europeans who, for over 300 years were stolen by blacks and North Africans and sold into slavery during the Barbary slave trade. https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofEngland/Barbary-Pirates-English-Slaves/

chilleemack.bsky.social•44 days ago

That’s English history, not US history. Also, African Americans were stolen from their tribes in Africa to be used in the slave trade to not just the US, but to the Caribbeans, Central and South America. You’re going to have to do better than this if you are going to being up history.

belljan670.bsky.social•44 days ago

It's not 'students'. In most cases of arrest, the police have discovered they are not students at the university they are protesting or anywhere else. Sure, they've tricked a few kids into protesting with them because kids will be kids and are gullible and easily deceived. Time to wake up.

chilleemack.bsky.social•44 days ago

If you are calling a young adult a kid, then it may be you that has to wake up. Those students are in different age groups, so it’s not correct to call them kids.

oconnellmark.bsky.social•44 days ago

belljan670.bsky.social•44 days ago

You can criticize Israel all you want. They didn't murder and rape innocent people on October 7th and start this shitshow up all over again.

bdgaf.bsky.social•44 days ago

Just like breaking and entering is not protesting

haydenatl.bsky.social•44 days ago

FREE PALESTINE!!! WE DONT WANT ZIONIST TERRORISTS HERE IN AMERICA!!!

jotg83.bsky.social•44 days ago

Can tell when Trump is president when people have to force their way into a library.

notetherapy.bsky.social•44 days ago

aka Concentration Camp. You, know the kind Hitler made. Never Again is again right now.

culpeperboy.bsky.social•44 days ago

Ain’t they cool

mnguyen72.bsky.social•44 days ago

I’m sure they’ll be pardoned like Jan6. oh wait, they might be the wrong skin color

kegates.bsky.social•44 days ago

In the meantime Israel has been enacting a full blockade of Gaza, and Palestinians are down to skin and bones.

Yet there are absolutely no headlines in U.S. news. (European news, yes, but not in the U.S.)

Why weren't the protesters decrying Israel's blockade of food and needed supplies???

mxhrad.bsky.social•44 days ago

I bet @columbiauniversity.bsky.social will kidnap their own students to a torture prison themselves, since they’re given up all autonomy and are a vassal of Trump now.

shoulderoforion.bsky.social•44 days ago

lol dummies

jalehshabnam.bsky.social•44 days ago

They are all supported by Hamas. Don’t let them destroy American democracy

biliousmillie.bsky.social•44 days ago

Protesting to free Palestine is fine. Barging into the library, bypassing security, and disrupting others’ attempt to study is not fine. These protesters are not helping their purported cause. I thought Columbia students are supposed to be smart.

leatherguyd.bsky.social•44 days ago

Cowards ashamed to show their faces. Pathetic

zartinem.bsky.social•44 days ago

A live-streamed genocide and complicit US government…gee, any surprise?
