Columbia held classes virtually on Monday, the start of the Jewish holiday of Passover, according to a statement from Dr Shafik that highlighted instances of “intimidating and harassing behaviour”, including antisemitism.
On one hand, it is fucked that America gives Christian holidays off and no other religions.
But it’s insane these assholes still call being against genocide antisemitic.
If they’re saying genocide of a people for following anither religion and stealing their land is part of their religion, then they should man up and say it.
I’m sure there are idiots that are using this war as another reason to hate on Jewish people, but that doesn’t invalidate the rightful cause of people protesting on behalf of Palestinians
According to the book, it literally is part of their religion 😅 thankfully, like most other religions, they don’t usually follow their own book literally (which would be impossible anyway since it contradicts itself in places)
This is what happens when you gut your pantheon to worship your god of war exclusively, I guess 🤷🏻♀️
It’s in all the Abrahmic texts…
What happened to the right protest, constitutionalists?
You have the right to assembly, not the right to trespass anywhere you want at any time.
They could get a permit to protest on public grounds like parks, and would be protected by the law. But that doesn’t grab media attention, so they choose to be civilly unruly in their protests. It grabs attention far better, at greater risk to themselves.
Edit - downvoters, what exactly do you think I got wrong in the above statement?
Were you not alive during the BLM protests? They had plenty of permits and it didn’t stop cops from shooting out their eyes and kicking them out.
A permit means nothing now since nobody respects it from police to judges. There is no form of legal protest in public anymore. That’s why you’re being downvoted.
