Ramzy Baroud is suggesting that the student protestors are motivated by idealism and horror at what’s unfolding in Gaza. He must be antisemitic. From Baroud at antiwar.com:
The mass protests at dozens of US universities cannot be reduced to a stifling and misleading conversation about antisemitism.
Thousands of American students across the country are not protesting, risking their own futures and very safety, because of some pathological hate for the Jewish people. They are doing so in a complete rejection of, and justifiable outrage over the mass killing carried out by the state of Israel against defenseless Palestinians in Gaza.
They are angry because the bloodbath in the Gaza Strip, starting on October 7, is fully funded and backed by the US government.
These mass protests began at the University of Columbia on April 17 before covering all of US geography, from New York to Texas and from North Carolina to California.
The protests are being compared, in terms of their nature and intensity, to the anti-war protests in the US against the Vietnam War in the 1960s and 70s.
While the comparison is apt, it is critical to note the ethnic diversity and social inclusiveness in the current protests. On many campuses, Arab, Muslim, Jewish, Black, Native American and White students are standing shoulder to shoulder with their Palestinian peers in a unified stance against the war.
None of them is motivated by fear that they could be drafted to fight in Gaza, as was, indeed, the case for many American students during the Vietnam War era. Instead, they are united around a clear set of priorities: ending the war, ending US support of Israel, ending their universities’ direct investment in Israel and the recognition of their right to protest. This is not idealism, but humanity at its finest moments.
Despite mass arrests, starting in Columbia, and the direct violence against peaceful protesters everywhere, the movement has only grown stronger.
But, but, but, the “chosen” pick out who their EDU leaders are?
Dean Wormer is not invited.
Delicious how the hate YT coalition is turning against and they [useful idiots] view the indispensable as some kind of super whites.
The bought and paid for by AIPAC largest brothel in human history known as congress has banned the first amendment and rewritten parts of the Bible?
As for Gaza it will continue until the last pier refugee is in the former USA and then the juicy oceanfront property sales can begin and how about those oil deposits just off the coast there.
