The people who write the checks call the shots at institutions of higher education . . . and in Washington. That’s one lesson the students are learning now. From Alan Macleod at unz.com:
How Israel-Linked Billionaires Silenced US Campus Protests
America’s universities are on fire. A protest movement against the violence in Gaza and U.S. colleges’ complicity in them has swept the nation, with encampments on college campuses in 45 of America’s 50 states. The crackdown has been swift; thousands of students have been arrested, charged, fined, lost their degrees, or even deported. Amid corporate media demanding a “Kent State 2.0”, riot police, armored vehicles and snipers have been deployed across the country to terrify those campaigning for justice into silence.
Why have overwhelmingly peaceful demonstrations against a foreign power’s actions been met with such a heavy-handed response? A MintPress News investigation finds that those same elite institutions have deep financial and ideological ties to the state of Israel, are funded by pro-Israel billionaires who have demanded they take action to crush the student movement, are partially funded by the Israeli government, and exist in a climate where Washington has made it clear that the protests should not be tolerated.
ISRAEL’S BILLIONAIRE BACKERS
The movement began on April 17 at Columbia University, where a modest Gaza solidarity encampment was established. Protestors hardly expected to be welcomed by university authorities but were shocked as university president Minouche Shafik immediately called in the NYPD – the first time the university had allowed police to suppress dissent on campus since the famous 1968 demonstrations against the Vietnam War.
Burn it all down?

Make sure and pass any purity tests Jacobin professors or the Red Guards dunce caps and beat downs come out.
What you don’t want to play Cultural Marxismanymore, comrade, sad trombone for you shirker.
Got my milk crate of Molotovs ready for burn it all down summer.
Any evildoers will have a miserable last few seconds.
