With the greenlight of Columbia President Minouche Shafik and her administration, NYPD has entered Hind Hall through the windows and begun to mass arrest students inside. Let this be remembered as Columbia and Shafik’s legacy: one of mobilizing the violence and terror of the state against their own students and faculty, solely to prevent an end to Columbia’s complicity in a genocide.

    I read the stats on how little America students care about the Gaza conflict but then you look at lemmy and every post is about these small protests.

    The islamic/tankie propaganda teams are working hard on this.

      I really have not noticed that it is Islamic/tankie people per your words, but rather just everyday people who hate to see others getting killed be it Jewish people or Palestinians. I know I fall into that camp and just wish for the violence to stop. If you read the comment history of most here, there is no evidence of the types you claim outside of a small %. You have to look to know.

        What are your thoughts on Ghana? If you have none then you don’t actually give a shit about people dying and are just attached to the atrocity of the month that social media is feeding you.

          Just as atrocious if not more. We can both play that game though, even right down to someone in your very neighbour who is being exploited right now. Your point is valid, but also is a little whataboutism. There are so many conflicts right now and more brewing even in Europe and by the looks of it, North America. I guess the real question though is why are you so confrontational on most of your comments? What is your story? Why you so angry? There is also lost of positivity and beautiful things in the world. Seek yours.

        Just a hugely disproportionate coincidental number of concerned citizens who have pro-hamas/Palestinian talking points. Nothing to see here. Got it.

      Maybe, just maybe, the stats you read saying nobody gives a shit, were completely fucking wrong. 👍

      So perhaps you care little about the Gaza conflict, why are you calling out other people for caring? I suppose less people should care because, ‘islamic’? Your ‘stats’ are doubtful, the impact the protests have had is greater than it’s been for many, many decades.

      People who talk about ‘stats’ all the time forget, or very well know, that statistics is both art and science. Often the realm of self-serving or misguided intellectuals or marketing depts. This is not some science experiment.

      I recommend watching the documentary “Fog of War”, and pay attention to Lesson #2: Rationality will not save us.
