Accompanied by a photo of a TMZ post which read, "Caitlyn Jenner says 'deport' pro-Palestine LGBT protesters to Iran or Gaza," Jenner wrote, "If you love the terrorist govt in Gaza so much-Hamas-go! Get the hell out of America and enjoy. Oh wait…they outlaw your existence and kill you there. Bye bye."

I didn't expect him to do anything but make a speech, condemn the actions of these people and demand it's put a stop to. Isn't that what everyone expected Trump to do to stop J6? These are Biden's people.

OMG, now I'm bringing up Trump. 🤪

As far as I can tell, they hate Bide too for supporting Israel.  They are kids who have not yet had to work or face the real world for the most part.  Most of them will wise up as part of growing up. 

I think I am OK with Biden on this. Peaceful protest is OK.  Violence, threats, shutting down classes, destroying property is another thing. Students living in tents is not going to threaten the world. Homeless drug addicts do more daily damage than these folks.  Course they are more spread out, but usually they steal from individuals and affect more people.

University leaders condemn Jewish genocide rhetoric as backlash grows

Pressure is growing on three elite college leaders who appeared to sidestep questions about whether calling for genocide against Jews was allowed on campus.

 

Two elite university leaders have said they strongly oppose any rhetoric calling for genocide against Jews, after they drew criticism from the White House for appearing to sidestep the issue in a congressional hearing this week.

They wouldn't have to ask for food and water either. Most of them are always prepared, especially if they are going to do something stupid like barricading themselves in a building.

Not just food...gluten free and vegan food 🤣 

I swear,these idiots and their gluten free demands, despite I'd guarantee 90% have never been tested for Celiac disease...just another trend for them.

Tell them no and you're hurting their feelings. If someone wants to eat gluten free or vegan that's entirely up to them but they have no problem criticizing anyone else's diet choices.

At lunch today I was discussing (listening to actually because I don't want to upset anyone too much) these protests in which my friend described to me these terrible pro Israel counter protesters showing up with weapons and attacking the peaceful UCLA student protesters.

No, the protests against the perceived genocide of the Palestinians.

I haven't come across protests calling for the genocide of the Jews. 

Are you sure you're not taking a small number of individuals and using them to discredit legitimate protest? Or the classic of conflating criticism of Israel, or even opposition to Israel's existence, with supporting genocide?

Maybe it isn't happening in the UK. I really don't know. But it's been well recognized here by people, government, colleges and businesses. 
All kind of pictures.

It certainly isn't happening here. And I freely admit I haven't followed the US college protests closely. Mainly because I got bored in the first few pages of people trying to shift the narrative from anti-Israel to anti-Semitic.

Can you give some quick examples of protests calling for genocide?

And by that I mean that is a clear, consistent goal of the protest as a whole. I don't mean one or two agitators, slogans you choose to interpret that way or anti-Israel protests.

There's two weeks worth of links and news stories. Many, many pictures. A lot of them have been posted in here. How government officials, business owners and the universities themselves are reacting. There's going to be a lot fewer graduation ceremonies at the schools involved this year. Whether some graduate will depend on if they got themselves expelled. There's colleges that have postponed their final exams. I'd rather you look yourself because you'll just argue anyway. There's a lot in the threads here and they've been there all this time.

From carrying terrorist flags to chants that call for the death of Jews, it has been pretty ugly.  Now that some are taking over buildings, it has gone too far.

Go on any social media site and there's a library. It isn't escaping anyone how these protesters are wearing masks to try and cover their faces either.

I wonder how many of these kids grew up with conservative religious parents who pounded into their heads that Jews are behind every bad deed they hear about related to money or too much power or favoritism for their own faith?  Soros and the Jews are behind half of Trump's troubles so they say .Even some of the preachers reinforce this. I wonder what the conversation is like when these kids ask  about the beatitudes or the sermon on the mount? Did Jesus really say that about "Blessed are the peacemakers"?

The first video is an interview by CNN of a student journalist at Columbia University. There's also video in here showing the police removing the barricades at UCLA last night. So is Biden's speech.

Just poor little rich kids having fun. Outside agitators, funding and coordination certainly. but this generation has nothing but small intellects, big mouths and no guts. The cops at UCLA last night dominated them with just stern looks and a beautiful display of how an organized body of troops can quickly subdue a much larger disorganized rabble.
