Columbia University is colluding with the far-right in its attack on students

Bruh, while I agree that they should be arrested for the destruction of property, remember that such actions ultimately led to America's Declaration of Independence. So, technically it's an act of patriotism.

The Boston Tea Party?

the end result will be an increase in the number of Hamas combatants.

Haven't looked at this thread, but thought this is appropriate coverage about the protests

[stupid YouTube video]

The very title indicates that it is a pretty stupid take. Calling them "anti-genocide" protesters when they have nothing bad to say about Hamas which actually has genocidal intent.

The article you quoted said they were protesting the war. The AP headline claimed they were pro-Palestinian. Where are you getting the idea they were pro-Hamas?

They are certainly pro-Palestinian. So much is evident from all the signs they are carrying.
Hamas is the Palestinian faction that governs Gaza and which started this war by murdering >1000 and kidnapping hundreds. These protesters have nothing bad to say about Hamas. Some are overtly in support of Hamas and are praising the October 7th massacre. Are you denying that?

Are you unable to distinguish between those three positions, or are you employing extremist rhetoric as a smear against anyone who protests the war for any reason?

The onus of the protesters to distance themselves from those who are praising genocidal Hamas violence.

Now what do you, Arctish, think about these protesters, whether you believe them to be, damaging university buildings and other property?
