"Identifiably Jewish students found themselves surrounded and cornered by protest mobs."

"Sahar Tartak, a sophomore who has written for these pages, was poked in the eye with a flagpole and needed hospital treatment. On Friday night the mob cheered as students ripped down the American flag in front of a memorial for fallen soldiers and tried to burn it. Students called Yale trustees and senior administrators 'terrorists.' Their chants included 'There is only one solution, intifada revolution' and 'From the river to the sea, Palestine is almost free.' They cornered a man at the plaza for wearing a T-shirt that read 'F--- Hamas.' This protest is in clear violation of Yale's code of conduct, which explicitly forbids protesters from obstructing building entrances or blocking students' ability to observe an event. But the administration sat on its hands.... For the police to step in, the Yale administration has to give them the green light, according to the [Yale police] officers. Some officers expressed frustration that Yale wouldn't allow them to intervene...."

Writes Gabriel Diamond, a Yale senior, in "Protests Turn Violent At Yale" (Wall Street Journal).

Nah. They're applauding.

It is a shame this is happening in the places and institutions that encourages this type of protests against people they don't approve of.

There will be blood in the streets this election season. But it won't be mostly peaceful protests against just the right, this time. The DNC is going to be a great sh!t show.

Arrests are probably just catch-and-release, won't be any prosecutions. They need to expel a large number of students, especially their highly-profitable foreign full-price ones. Show you're serious, Yale. Or close down and start processing refunds.

rhhardin said...

The battle over who is the biggest victim continues, the reporting being on the Jews are the biggest victim side at the moment. It's a low IQ battle and can't be won, especially since Palestinians are not very bright. Also the battle is great for clickbait, which guarantees its never ending status.

Jews acting like the smart ones might work if they tried it.

The opposite of victimhood, wealth, comes from trade. Jews have been trying to trade with Palestinians for years and each time Hamas has shot it down or blown it up. Sick Palestinians are treated in Israeli hospitals, as a Mitzvah. There's the argument to use.

Dropping victimhood is complicated by eternal Jewish victimhood being used internally to prevent low IQ Jews from assimilating, so it has a second use keeping it in play.

Victimhood doesn't work in America, or probably anywhere. Blacks have played victims for decades and they're worse off every year.

There might not be enough popcorn for these events. Part of me wants to see the students burn these colleges and universities to the ground along with the cities they inhabit. "Good and hard" might be the only solution to what ails us as a country.

Yancey Ward said...

On an only somewhat more serious note- if the universities are serious about restoring order on their campuses, they will need to expel the students who are violating the rights of all the other students. There isn't a middle ground here- you either enforce order, or you will continue to get chaos which will only grow in scope and destructiveness.

Dave Begley said...

The colleges are run by the students. In the olden days much of this activity would result in expulsion. Go home and tell your parents their tuition payments went for the glory of a place that does not exist.

Big Mike said...

Note to Jews living in blue cities. Buy guns. Buy ammo for the guns (at least 200 cartridges). Get training in how to safely use those guns, and safes so that kids cannot get their hands on them. If you bought a semiautomatic handgun make sure your training includes how to clear a jam. Ignore laws about concealed carry; as a Jew they will not give you a permit anyway, and if worst comes to worst and you’re forced to defend yourself maybe you’ll get a jury with enough Republicans to result in a hung jury (you might ask for a change of venue).

Leftist movements always end when nominal allies turn on each other. Unhappy people demand change but often incompatible types of change. The strongest lefty faction routinely kills off the others or forces them to join the opposition/conservatives.

The pro-Palestine, pro-Transgender (anti-biology), and Black reparations lefty factions are hell bent on driving all others away. I lay 2/3 odds that a moderate center-right coalition takes control and the hard left groups stew in angry impotency for 40 years, and 1/3 odds of structured terrorism and war.

Soros funds many protest groups, not only through the Open Society Foundation but a number of shells within shells within shells.

The protestors aren't so much anti-Semitic or even anti-Zionist, as much as they're anti- capitalist and, by association, anti colonial. Harassment of Jews of all political affiliations is an intimidation tactic, simular to what Antifa was doing in Portland, Kenosha, etc.

I can't go along with the notion of superior intellect when it can be explained more easily through education and culture.

@bariweiss
For a second, imagine that black students at Columbia were taunted with chants of "Go back to Africa."

Or imagine that a gay student at Yale was surrounded by homophobic protesters and hit in the eye with a flagpole.

Or imagine if a campus imam told Muslim students that they ought to head home for Ramadan because campus public safety could not guarantee their security.

There would be relentless fury from our media and condemnation from our politicians.

Just remember the righteous—and rightful—outrage over the white supremacist “Unite the Right” march in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, where neo-Nazis chanted “The Jews will not replace us.”

This weekend at Columbia and Yale, student demonstrators did all of the above—only it was directed at Jews. They told Columbia students to “go back to Poland.” A Jewish woman at Yale was assaulted with a Palestinian flag. And an Orthodox rabbi at Columbia told students to go home for their safety.

What will the response be?

Waiting for leftists to justify this-oh wait, they are too busy calling Trump a Nazi.
This has little to do with Israel, and everything to do with killing Jews, everywhere. And then whites.
The policies supported by the left are responsible for this. At least things are becoming honest now. The KKK, begun by Democrats, has merged with the left and showing us exactly what will happen if they take power.
And if the demonstration demanded that Blacks or Gays leave campus?

So a certain semetic ethnicity is finding that the implementation of their Kalergi Plan is having some unexpected negative consequences for them? That's sad but they shouldn't worry. They can always make aliyah to Israel and they'll be taken in. Now as for the rest of us... I dunno.

sean said...

To answer some questions, (i) the Yale campus is of course private property, (ii) Yale has its own deputized police force, and (iii) Yale and the City of New Haven have a long-standing MOU which provides that the municipal police force does not patrol or enter the campus unless specifically requested by the Administration. I understand that a number of universities have similar arrangements, reflecting a centuries-old tradition of universities as autonomous communities.

I also note that assembling a crowd in a central plaza (in this case, the central plaza at Yale, though the article obscures that) and burning a flag are traditional expressive activities, rather on the low edge of "violence." Also, only snowflakes--encouraged by Prof. Althouse's generation of academics--consider chanting slogans to be "violence." (The stick in the eye might be more serious, depending on the exact facts.)

Doug Hasler said...

Student protests truly came of age in the 1960s. Protests over the Vietnam War, civil rights, assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy. Father Ted Hesburgh was a long-time University President at Notre Dame, including during the 1960s. As protests and sit-ins swept college campuses around the country, Hesburgh established the "15 minute rule". Students who were participating in a disruptive campus protest would be given 15 minutes to cease and desist. Any student remaining after 5 minutes would be suspended; any student remaining after 15 minutes would be expelled. I don't know whether this rule ever had to be implemented, but students were on notice as to the consequences of their actions.

Hesburgh was not a hard-line conservative. He was a well-known advocate for, and participant in civil rights causes.

Universities exist to educate students, and to allow for the free exchange of ideas. Disruptive protests like what is happening at Columbia, Yale, and other universities can and should be put to a stop.

Freder...Here is the transcript of the 60 minutes interview with Soros IN HIS OWN WORDS...
So before calling people fucking liars, take a seat and shut up. This is from his own corrupt mouth...and as usual, you are on the wrong side of history, and wrong again, as usual. They took the video down, probably because Your Hero George Soros paid them to.



"To understand the complexities and contradictions in his personality you have to back to the very beginning, to Budapest, where George Soros was born 68 years ago to parents who were wealthy, well educated, and Jewish.

When the Nazis occupied Budapest in 1944 George Soros’ father was a successful lawyer. He lived on an island in the Danube and liked to commute to work in a rowboat. But knowing there were problems ahead for the Jews he decided to split his family up. He bought them forged papers and bribed a government official to take 14 year old George Soros in and swear that he was his Christian godson.

But survival carried a heavy price tag. While hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were being shipped off to the death camps George Soros accompanied his phony godfather on his appointed rounds confiscating property from the Jews.

Interview cont’d

You’re a Hungarian Jew who escaped the holocaust by posing as a Christian.

Soros cont’d

Right.

Host cont’d

And you watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps?

Soros cont’d

Right. I was 14 years old and I would say that’s when my character was made.

Host cont’d

In what way?

Soros cont’d

That one should...

:Srs IV:

One should understand and anticipate events… It was a tremendous threat of evil. It was a very personal experience of evil.

Host cont’d

My understanding is that you went out with this “protector” of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.

Soros cont’d

Yes.

Host cont’d

… went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property of the Jews.

Soros cont’d

That’s right. Yes.

Host cont’d

That sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult??

Soros cont’d

Uh. Not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don’t see the connection but it created no problem at all.

Host cont’d

No feeling of guilt?

Soros cont’d

No.

Host cont’d

For example, “I’m Jewish and here I am watching these people go. I could just as easily be there. I should be there.” None of that?

Soros cont’d

Well. Of course I could be on the other side. I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away, uh, but there was no sense I shouldn’t be there because there was – Well, actually, (in a) funny way it’s just like in markets that if I weren’t there (of course I wasn’t doing it) REDsomebody else would be taking it away anyhow. Whether I was there or not (I was only a spectator) the property was being taken away. So – I had no role in taking away that property so I had no sense of guilt.RED END"

If Police are actively being told not to protect students and enforce existing laws - let alone codes of conduct by the University - I would assume there is liability issues emerging.

I notice this is not a direct quote and you are being disingenuous. The Soros' survived by getting forged papers identifying them as Christian. George did indeed go stay with his "god father", who had a contract to remove the furniture from the homes of Jews who had been deported. To avoid awkward questions (why isn't that healthy young man not helping you?), he did indeed go out with his godfather on some of his collections. To claim this is collaboration (especially by a 14 year old) is a gross distortion.

Howard said...

Wikipedia summarizes the Soros/Nazi collaboration event:

Soros was 13 years old in March 1944 when Nazi Germany occupied Hungary.[43] The Nazis barred Jewish children from attending school, and Soros and the other schoolchildren were made to report to the Judenrat ("Jewish Council"), which had been established during the occupation. Soros later described this time to writer Michael Lewis: "The Jewish Council asked the little kids to hand out the deportation notices. I was told to go to the Jewish Council. And there I was given these small slips of paper ... I took this piece of paper to my father. He instantly recognized it. This was a list of Hungarian Jewish lawyers. He said, 'You deliver the slips of paper and tell the people that if they report they will be deported'. I'm not sure to what extent he knew they were going to be gassed. I did what my father said."[44][45]

Robert Marshall said...

effinayright says: "Soros is a scoundrel and a dick, but he was born in 1930 and thus too young during the war to be helping the Nazis."

The Nazis occupied Hungary in 1944, when Soros would have turned 14, easily old enough to be of some use to them. I don't know whether he was of use, but he was old enough to be.

The Washington Post says that:

Early in the occupation, Soros worked as a courier for the local Jewish council, which Nazis set up in many occupied countries — using Jews to identify and keep tabs on other Jews.
“The members of the Jewish councils faced impossible moral dilemmas,” the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum wrote. They were often unaware that the Nazis’ goal was the death of all Jews, or even believed that working with the regime might benefit their communities.


So, you make the call: duped, or collaborator?

In any event, his undisputed current role as financier for extreme leftist causes makes him an awful person.

You denied, or wanted to deny, it to others. You shouldn't get it yourself

Amazing how the MSM frames the debate and stories they publish. We get almost no stories about 30,000 innocent Gazans being murdered by israel since October 7th.

That's because the claim is a lie. Even Hamas is no admitting they made that figure up

And almost nothing about what these protesters are actually protesting.
What those protesters are protesting for is the rape, torture, and / or murder of every single Jew in Israel.

"From the river to the sea" is a demand that every Jew in Israel who doesn't escape fast enough gets murdered. So no, teh press isn't reporting on what the scum are demanding, because the press is on your side

How many Gazans were killed today by the IDF?

Why should we care? That's like caring in teh middle of WWII how many German or Japanese civilians were killed today.

They're the enemy., and they started the war. Whatever happens to them, until such time as they unconditionally surrender and free all the remaining hostages, is something they deserve.

Per Bari Weiss:

"Just remember the righteous—and rightful—outrage over the white supremacist “Unite the Right” march in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, where neo-Nazis chanted “The Jews will not replace us.”

This weekend at Columbia and Yale, student demonstrators did all of the above—only it was directed at Jews. They told Columbia students to “go back to Poland.” A Jewish woman at Yale was assaulted with a Palestinian flag.


Interesting. Can someone explain why chanting "The jews will not replace us" is a threat or an expression of "hate". It seems to saying "Hey, Jews wont destroy us". Which is defensive.

But the Weiss seems to think that's a threat to Jews. Just like she thinks someone protesting Genocide in Gaza is a threat to Jews. We don't know any of the details of these incidents. And we only get hysterical exaggeration from people like Weiss. Weren't all these "Explicitly and Obviously Jewish" people confronting the Palestinian protesters? Weren't they arguing with them and defending Israel's actions? If so, they were the victim of some rude remarks. But what were THEIR rude remarks toward the protesters?

And how is one "assaulted by a flag"? you mean the flag (not the pole) touched her body? I doubt she needed medical attention.

This sort of writing is why Tucker thought Weiss was dishonest. Now, she may be telling the truth. But everything points to Weiss exaggerating and being misleading.

Why is the chant of “The Jews will not replace us” threatening to Jews?

I think that’s pretty simple. The chant implies that the Jews are the people interested in “replacing” and thus displacing working class, rural white men. But it is not “the Jews,” but the elitist Democrats who inhabit the Swamp.

By the way, while some in the swamp are Jewish elitists, most Jews are elsewhere, and about 1/4 are quite conservative in. politics.

@Jim at, yup. “Interesting” is the right word. Are people like Freder just gullible nincompoops? Or do people like him figure that if they shout loud enough and fuss hard enough we Normals will just forget about living in the real world and join him in his fantasy world to appease him?

Not that it matters a whole lot. What’s fascinating is reading how Snopes, Newsweak (pun deliberate), and other sources contort themselves to diminish or excuse what George Soros has done in the past. USA Today goes so far as to claim that while George Soros participated in taking inventory of the property of wealthy Jews, it didn’t mean that he actually participated in the confiscation of that property. Not considered by USA Today is why there would be an inventory if not as part of the ensuing confiscation.

Yancey Ward said...

Freder,

There is a word for what Soros did, by his own admissions- collaborator. You don't have to like it, but that is what Soros and his family were- collaborators. Soros was probably lucky in that Hungary was an ersatz ally of the Reich for all but the last year of the war, and working for the Nazis didn't carry the same sort of condemnations as it did in the Netherlands and France, but lie to us, Freder- we aren't fooled by you.

I heard on All Things Considered this afternoon - after enduring the Confederation of The Smelly at Walmart - that Jewish students at Columbia are being told they should leave the campus for Passover. There was no comment, no expansion on the irony of having the Jews evacuate campus for their safety in the context of this particular holiday. Fortunately there was some discussion by a Jewish student leader that this proposal is unacceptable, no matter where on the calendar it lands - they are staying put and celebrating the holiday with provisions of added security for moving around the campus. Good for them.

I'm heartened to see civic and university leaders across the country, in predominantly Blue cities, finally getting fed up with the bullsh*t of protestors blocking traffic and making a nuisance of themselves on campus, taxing the forbearance of the solid citizens. But I would like to see the helpful application of police encouragement to improve the focus on getting the problem areas cleared, I must confess.

Doug Hasler said...

Doug Hasler said...

I will try again.

Student protests became common in the 1960s. No doubt, there was a lot to protest about -- the Vietnam War, civil rights, the assassinations of Martin Luther King, and Robert Kennedy.

As college campuses all over the country were roiled by disruptive student protests, teach-ins, and sit-ins, Father Theodore Hesbugh, University President of Notre Dame came up with the 15-minute rule. Students participating in distruptive campus protests/demonstrations would be told that they were to cease and desist. Any student continuing to protest/demonstrate after 5 minutes would be suspended. Any student continuing to protest/demonstrate after 15 minutes would be expelled from the University.

Hesburgh was no Conservative hard-liner. He was a well-known advocate for, and participant in, civil rights causes. I don't know whether Father Ted ever had to implement his rule. Students were given notice of the rule, and students believed that Hesburgh would back up his words.

Universities can, and should be a number of things. A place of scholarship. A place where students come to become educated -- to receive the accumulated knowledge from all areas of academic endeavor. A place where students learn to respect the free exchange of ideas, and come to their own conclusions about important issues.

A university that tolerates the disruption (by students and others) that we see today at Columbia, Yale, NYU, and, no doubt, other places can no longer fulfill its functions of providing scholarship, education, and the free exchange of ideas.

If they have the will to do so, university presidents and administrators can put a stop to the campus disruption that we see today. They have rules. They can enforce them.

If they have the will to do so.

“TWhe Ivys won't crack down muslim protestors, they are the only students paying full boat tuition and board. Usually paid by rich immigrant parents or foreign governments. The Ivys need the cash.”

BUT - they are seeing alumni mega-donations from Jews dry up. Which is worse, losing some full-boat tuition Muzzie tuition? Or 7 and 8 digit Jewish contributions.

Something else. Those schools won’t stay elite without Jewish SAT scores and Jewish faculty. Replacing them with Muzzie and DEI students and faculty will just drag down the school’s ranking over time. Israel has many times the number of Nobel prizes than the entire Muzzie world combined. Throw in DEI types, and the result won’t be much different. Nobel prize winning faculty bring in the top tier grad students. Drive your Jewish faculty away, and they will go where they are protected. Because of the residual status of these elite schools, and the insane amount of money they are sitting on, they have the luxury of sitting with their heads in the sand now. But it will ultimately change, because it has to.

Michelle Dulak Thomson said...

RCOCEAN II,

The Jewish (not Israeli) woman at Yale had the end of the flagpole stuck into her eye. Hell yes she needed medical attention. She was a journalist trying to cover the protest for a Yale student paper, and the pro-Palestinian side cut off her view as she was attempting to film the protest, before this particular asshat stabbed her in the face.

It's clear that the Hamas terrorist cheerleaders and eyepokers like illegal immigrants and African American looters operate under BLUE sponsorship and are likely immune from arrest and/or prosecution. On campus and in cities the "thin BLUE line" is more BLUE than thin as police chiefs toady before their Democrat masters.

Citizens have no reliable protection. Mob rule abides in our streets. Federal law enforcement and the leftmedia wallow in the memory of J6 and in Donald Trump's make believe crimes.

This "protest" is ongoing and continually blocking several university walkways and when Jews try to go along those walkways they are surrounded and insulted. Antisemitic slurs are shouted at them. One woman has been injured because the end of a flagpole was shoved at her face and hit her eye. It's filled with rich students from the elite of Islamic countries and their rich US counterparts. These are the people the elite wish to conciliate and get on board with. That's because Yale has been excluding Republicans and conservatives from faculty appointments for the last twenty years until now there is no disagreement within the Yale faculty. It's all on the left and moving left without a tug from the right because the right isn't there any longer. But this in turn means that the talent of half the country is now excluded from the faculty. And now that exclusive circle of Our Betters (Yale Faculty Section) is defending students who are going after the Jewish students. Jewish faculty members are afraid to speak out or more likely paralyzed with shock. But that won't last. Either Yale gets challenged on its faculty selection criteria or the Jews leave - driven out as they were in Nazi Germany. Then, for one thing, Yale will be excluding half the country and the Jews - it won't be a great university any more. For another I think that the Jews won't be driven out. I think the Republicans, conservatives and Jews will make common cause and bring lawsuits which will make the Oberlin settlement look like small change. When the Yale faculty search committees were quietly voting down all the conservatives they didn't have students screaming insults at conservatives out in the quad. It was hard to demonstrate bias in any one case. But now there's an obvious tilt against the Jews and it draws attention to the previous less dramatic tilt against anyone on the right. I don't think we've seen the last move in this campus war.

Big Mike said...

Why is the chant of “The Jews will not replace us” threatening to Jews?

Except the chant was “You will not replace us.” I’m being drawn back to a scene early in the movie “Annie Hall” where woody Allen’s nebbish is complaining to a friend because he (deliberately?) heard “would you” as “wood Jew” and is mightily offended. Clean the wax out of your ears and stop being stupid

(You too, Bari Weiss. I’m a Free Press subscriber and I read your latest essay.)

What a pathetic piece of crap Minouche Shafik has revealed herself to be.
I just saw that the "solution" this spineless President of Columbia U came up with was to force students into remote learning because she allowed a bunch of violent anti-semites to run amok.
For more than two decades we've been told that even politely disagreeing with a myriad of political positions makes certain "vulnerable" students feel "unsafe." Faculty and students have been punished, fired, expelled, etc., and everyone in academia has been forced to waste countless hours in idiotic "trainings" that are nothing more than logic-free assertions of ideological points. I loathe the whole rotten regime, but it is what it is and has been.
Therefore: How, precisely, is physically attacking Jewish students, chanting "From the River to the Sea" or "More October 7ths" or "Go back to Poland" to an individual student, and all the other repulsive anti-Semitic garbage that has been going on not a violation of the whole "Safety" regime?
Of course it is, but the garbage people running our institutions don't care. They don't care about their students, they don't care about basic decency---they don't even care about minimal logical consistency, demonstrating that they were never real scholars or teachers to begin with, just ladder-climbers.
This abuse of Jewish students is being allowed to continue for multiple reasons. Some of the People in Power just love their feral third-world pets for their "authenticity" and are going to be just shocked when the feral pets turn on them and bite their stupid faces off. Others--mostly younger ones--just hate Jews because they've inverted the old National Socialist paradigm and now interpret the Jews as the whitest of white people. And others--and the worst--of the People in Power are planning to use these violent mobs for their own purposes--to disrupt the lives of normal people all over America this summer and fall to help keep the people currently running things in Power.
If you think that the real problem is that this is a freedom of speech issue, you have been duped. The police--university and otherwise--have obviously been given orders to allow the Jew-haters to run amok but to immediately arrest anyone who pushes back against them. The riots of summer 2020 are the paradigm.
What I wonder, in bad moments, is how long it will take a few of the many injured and abused people to realize how effective some of the tactics of the Irish Republican Army would be against the violent mobs that the authorities are allowing to terrorize the normals.

Tonight at Yale, I was assaulted by a student today at an anti-Israel protest. He stabbed me in the eye with a Palestinian flag. Now I'm in the hospital. This is what happens when visibly Jewish students try to attend and document these rallies.
