Columbia University has fallen

[putnam6]

You cannot call students antisemitiic because they want the end of the war and they don't agree with the way Israel chose to go after Hamas killing tens of thousands of civilians.

Can I call the protesters pro-Nazi? remember the original premise of the thread...

I agree all the hostages should be returned but on both sides, there are many hostages in Israeli prisons long before the 7th of October. The students view the Palestinian as the weak side.

Why are the Palestinian "hostages" in prison again? Is it because of terroristic attacks in Israel? How does that excuse 10/7? This does not mean I believe all Palestinians locked up are guilty or should be imprisoned. Regardless raping and murdering innocent Israelis just adds more injustice to the equation, sure it's vengeance and retribution but that's the never-ending cycle in the Israel/Palestine question. 

REALITY is we were closer to potential peace before 10/7 than the day after. We might not ever get that close again. 

Imagine if every nation-state-entity disagreement is solved by the aggrieved being allowed to murder, rape, and take hostages like ISIS or Boko Harem. Anarchy and chaos are other themes in this college protest.
