Didn’t the NYPD even release a statement basically contradicting the reports by the university that shit was out of control and basically saying yeah we’re only here because we got called in, we didn’t think anything was wrong? Like, if the NYPD isn’t willing to go crack some skulls for you, wtf are you even doing?
The hysterical reaction to the Columbia protests is not only proof that Zionism is in its flop era. It's also proof that university administrators have trouble learning from the past. When I was a first-year student (NOT a freshman!) at the University of Chicago, a group of demonstrators invaded the Administration Building and began a sit-in. University President Edward H. Levi, who would later become Gerald Ford's Attorney General, banned Chicago police from campus entirely, moved administrative operations to another building, and waited until the occupying students got tired and left. No muss, no fuss, no police brutality, and no bad publicity. Perhaps the Columbia bigwigs should have read a little more history...
Something I think helps when thinking about and talking about Zionism is distinguishing Zionism as it actually exists from Zionism as liberal Zionists want it to be. That is, one could say that Zionism as liberal Zionists want it to be is basically just Bundism badly rebranded as its arch-enemy, Zionism.
Spencer Ackerman (of Forever Wars) has talked about an ongoing initiative to reconstitute the Bund. I haven’t gone through the registration process myself, but his endorsement at the very least says that the following is legitimate and not a honeypot:
The attention focused on the protests might evinve a hunger for the past. Many people found something gallant and valiant about the Columbia protests of 1968, and some people who missed out on the rock n roll and revolution want to believe its happening again.
Although I was sympathetic to the Left of 1968, and agreed wth their take on the Vietnam War, the current protestors make me ill
I think it is high time we analyze the PSYCHO-SEXUAL TRAITS OF THE STUDENT PROTESTORS. I have tried to do that in
I've been thinking about how weak these responses have seemed, and it's really something. Also Shafik seems pretty cowardly both in her congressional testimony and now this shit.
One of my friends has been doing the “I don’t feel safe” bit for months despite her being in her mid-30s and going out to places

this is the only site I still allow comments on. so refreshing to have a collection of reasonable people on the internet.
Reminiscent of the anti Vietnam War protests. Peace Isn't profitable. The poor "defense" contractors might starve😒
