I thought after Oct 7 that no one could continue to have illusions about what Israel and the Jews are facing, but I was wrong. Now it's almost a matter of curiosity to see how "they" will spin the latest outrage.
excellent. thank you for sharing.
Trump has pulled the visas on all foreign students at Harvard. Harvard, has of course, sued. Columbia should be next.
I watched David Rubenstein, swamp creature and private equity kingpin, on CNBC this AM. He was formerly on the Board at Harvard and two of his kids are alums. He's Jewish but basically defended Harvard on this.
The progressive left's entire political paradigm revolves around racism, exploitation, and the use of violence.
Nothing is ever going to change about that.
AP's story on the Harvard lawsuit.
"In a lawsuit filed Friday in federal court in Boston, Harvard said the government’s action violates the First Amendment and will have an “immediate and devastating effect for Harvard and more than 7,000 visa holders.”
That's the best Harvard's lawyers can do? Really?
Sounds a lot like how they created "permission" to shoot at Trump and Fico in Slovakia, who was treated the same way by the press there, and after the assassination attempt, the press there blamed the shooting on his "divisiveness" because, you know he was too popular.
"I looked into his eyes" - This is the level of proof we're accepting now?
Is this like when Bush looked into Putin's eyes and "I saw a soul. I trusted him."
It is amazing how credulous people are.
Still and all, I don't see any reason for us to get involved in Israel's planned war on Iran. I feel like we are being propagandized to support Israel's dream of sending Iran back the same stone age status as we have Syria, Afghanistan and Libya. Once is an anecdote, two is a coincidence, three is enemy action, as they say. Trump already declined to join them in an attack on Iran's "nuclear facilities" and I was quite happy to read about it.
"It is amazing how credulous people are."
On that we can agree.
I'm super grateful we live in a country where our society can provide the octagon for every steel-cage ethnic death-match on Earth. Exporting American solutions in exchange for importing foreign problems has been so entertaining. What a bargain, but hey, at least we don't have to fight them over there since they're all more than welcome to fight each other over here now.
It was his reaction, not ‘proof’ and he wasn’t trying to prove anything…
When I watched that yesterday my reaction was CNN didn’t bother to vet him before they put him on the air, did they? Did they just read Columbia on a cv and assume he was on their side? Then I waited for the CNN lady to ‘correct’ him. I did not have to wait long…
A world where Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim are still alive, and planning their wedding, and go on to be parents of some wonderful children, is objectively better than a world where an addle-brained Chicago resident thinks “I did it for Gaza!” should be a get-out-of-jail card for their cold-blooded murder.
If Jews want to get serious about “Never again” meaning “Not ever” then it’s up to them to deal with the antisemites, and the university administrators and Democrat politicians who cheer on those antisemites.
I think the lusting after Luigi can been seen as a rebellion against conventions of female behavior. No smart, young man to settle down with for these girls. Too bourgeois and exploitative. But I think there is more nastiness to come. The universities are trying to erase any sense of gender difference and that, for many young women, will mean that they get to behave like degenerate men who exert power through violence.
I think, sometime in the near future, a young woman is going to pop off in a truly crazy way and take out a Jewish daycare or something.
@Big Mike, a lot of Jews are antisemites, cheer on antisemites, and are wearing keffiyehs in protests with antisemites. Maybe the "never again" Jews should deal with the "free palestine" antifa Jews at the same time.
And former Harvard president Larry Summers published his on X:
The @realDonaldTrump Administration's vendetta action against Harvard is now over the top.
It is crazy to make enemies of thousands of the most talented young people from around the world.
Ah, no Larry. It is Harvard that is indoctrinating “young people from around the world” to be enemies of the United States. Trump is merely trying to hit the school you used to lead hard enough in the wallet to get them to stop.
And by the way, Larry, weren’t you born into a Jewish family? Do you think Harvard University, and Columbia, and other elite institutions encouraging students to scream “Death to Jews!” plans to create a carve out for you, personally?
"He was formerly on the Board at Harvard and two of his kids are alums. He's Jewish but basically defended Harvard on this. "
JINO
His Harvard experience as with his (Alum) kids was before the overt acts of today. His benefits of Haaavard status has, no doubt, served him well for decades.
Eyes averted, he can paper over the current acts while feeling virtuous.
Seconding what rehajm@9:23 said, plus this: the rubber has well and truly hit the road with regard to our commitment to civil liberties. I don't know that we know much about this confessed perpetrator, but it certainly seems as if he went from protest to murder in one fell swoop. Maybe our Bill of Rights dictates that if he were a citizen, we would have to take that chance, but for those who are not citizens, and who are engaging in protests that we now have incontrovertible evidence can lead to deadly violence, why do we have an obligation to allow them to stay?
Over on neo, I was just commenting that my son and I had had this conversation a month or so ago, and that I had agreed with him in general principle that protest alone should not be enough to get your visa rescinded or your green card stripped. But what does this double murder tell us? That we have to allow people whose form of protest consists of death chants and physical intimidation that campuses have not been rigorous enough about curbing and encampments (that ditto) to continue with these things that occupy the gray area of the First Amendment, at best, until someone else dies?
I do not and will not support hate crime legislation. And with fear and trembling, I still support the full weight of the First Amendment for citizens. But, as has been said about crime committed by illegal aliens, maybe we have to take the risk that our own citizens will commit criminal acts before doing anything about it - but why are we constrained to do the same for people who are in our country on sufferance?
@Steven says: "..."I looked into his eyes" - This is the level of proof we're accepting now?
..."
Proof of what? She asked his opinion, and he gave his opinion.
I find it odd that the Progressive Left is constantly reinforcing emotions when it serves their purpose, repeating mantras like 'words are violence', but then they object to any comparable rhetoric if it happens to reinforce or buttress an opposing view - as in your case. Well... not odd - dishonest.
"and that I had agreed with him in general principle that protest alone should not be enough to get your visa rescinded or your green card stripped."
I disagree. If you've been given the gift of being allowed to be a guest here, show some appreciation and act like one. If you want to protest the USA, you can do that back home.
@RideSpaceMountain, initially the Jewish students were indoctrinated that Zionism was bad because Israel builds fences to keep out Arabs who want to kill … Israelis. To me, there never was any difference between anti-Zionism and antisemitism, and since October 7, 2023 I see that they’ve dropped the mask. I assume any Jews still supporting these terrorists do so hoping to be put on the last train to the death camps, not on an earlier one. There are precedents from Sotld War II.
The proof and evidence double standard has been pretty out in the open for a while - a person's feelings, which can't be observed or measured in any way that doesn't have recourse to the dysphoric person's self-report, are sufficient to warrant expensive and permanently debilitating lifelong medical treatment to reinforce gender dysphoria, but the reams of strong circumstantial evidence (which, if I'm not mistaken, criminal investigators tend to trust more than eye witnesses) regarding the Biden family's involvement in influence peddling - that is regarded as "no evidence."
Mason G @9:54, believe me, my position has evolved!
Good to hear!
@Big Mike, totally agree. It worked for George Soros, so maybe lots of far left Jews, in addition to Larry "If the alligator eats me last, I win" Summers see it as a viable strategy.
Liberal license to lunacy (LLL). Ka-catastrophic.
The litmus test for revoking visas is to compare the US to other countries. Trust me - there are plenty of countries that are much less friendly than the US when it comes to these matters, and much more paranoid about foreign visitors and their motivations. All the Progressives tearing their hair out over Harvard's loss of exalted privilege should calm down. Aristocrats and entitled behavior are bad things, remember?
Visas to the US are a kindness to strangers, and the strangers need to accept them with a tacit understanding that respect & civility will serve them well, and disrespect will get an escort to the border.
Still remembering my experiences in Muslim countries, where any incident involving a foreigner was automatically their fault, in one case hearing a judge sternly pronounce to a colleague that 'this accident wouldn't have happened if you weren't here'.
Mason G said, "If you've been given the gift of being allowed to be a guest here, show some appreciation and act like one. If you want to protest the USA, you can do that back home."
“Benefits received are a delight to us as long as we think we can requite them: when that possibility is far exceeded, they are repaid with hatred instead of gratitude” – Tacitus
They can't show gratitude because America's ethical and moral largesse makes them feel inferior, and therefore we are repaid with "hatred instead of gratitude".
They can all get the fuck out.
As Elon said, "stuck in NPC dialogue tree of a traditional journalist." And to my ear that "dialogue tree" is not really a question as they phrase or portray it, but is some point they want to make phrased in a passive aggressive question.
My response would be, "You seem to be trying to make a point in the form of a question. Why don't you just make your point with a direct statement and save us all the trickery. If you have a question intended in good faith to actually elicit my input and generate new information, then I'm happy to respond."
"They can all get the fuck out."
Works for me.
FYI Jews and Palestinians are both semites. This is a civil war
"I looked into his eyes" - This is the level of proof we're accepting now?
It's a kind of evidence (not “proof”, but evidence) which every jury in the land engages in—particularly if the accused testifies.
Big Mike said: "If Jews want to get serious about “Never again” meaning “Not ever” then it’s up to them to deal with the antisemites, and the university administrators and Democrat politicians who cheer on those antisemites."
I would agree with you Mike. I would also think that any sane person who loves a civil society would be invested in this fight as well, with their own actions and words. This is not just a fight for the Jews. Surely you get that.
Jaq said..."the press there blamed the shooting on [Fico's] "divisiveness" because, you know he was too popular."
I've noticed that it's generally only politicians on one side of the fence who are portrayed as divisive. It's never the ones on the other side who preceded them and agitated the voters to lead to the "divisive" candidate who are called divisive.
Big Mike, I apologize to you for my last comment. Clearly...you do get that.
It is the same with all of these snappy slogans: globalize the intifada, free Palestine, from the river to the sea. They all mean the same thing. Kill the Jews, and a bunch of white people too.
FYI Jews and Palestinians are both semites. This is a civil war…
What a nonsense statement. Akin to:
FYI Americans and Russians (in e.g. the Cold War)—or British and Germans (during WWII) are both Indo-European speakers. This is a civil war…
But, beyond that, referring to “semites” in such a fashion is simply a (typical) leftist method of obfuscating what “anti-semite” really means today—by switcheroo trying to make Palestinians (and Arabs in general) also eligible for “anti-semitism”.
No, “anti-semite” is a term invented during the 19th century as a “nice” way for people to say Jew baiter or hater.
@Temujin, accepted. Yes, I do get that.
Howard said, "FYI Jews and Palestinians are both semites."
I prefer the term "sand people". It's both descriptive and more genuinely holistic at the same time.
"They gave it permission."
Just as all the TDS manufactured by democrats has given permission to imprison or assassinate Donald Trump.
And don't think they don't know what they're doing. They know.
Abortive ideation in the eye of the beholder.

Cue Leftist commenter to ask an inane and inapposite question (thinking he's clever) "This is the level of proof we're accepting now?" Huh?
I don't accept "last night our government failed us." Does he mean for not solving gun control?
"I don't accept "last night our government failed us." Does he mean for not solving gun control?"
Of course the government can't stop crime, it can only punish afterwards. That why citizens need guns.
Doesn't D.C. already have strict gun control? The killer knew his two victims and other party-goers wouldn't be armed, nor would anyone else in the area except a licensed security guard or two - and the criminals, of course, himself included.
Howard said...
“FYI Jews and Palestinians are both semites. This is a civil war.”
If Palestinians truly were the descendants of the O.G. Philistines, that would make them Mycenaean Greeks, not Semites.

So it’s illegal to own or possess a gun in DC. Now they just gotta take the next step and make it illegal to shoot somebody.
"Now they just gotta take the next step and make it illegal to shoot somebody."
And, they can make it super-double illegal to shoot somebody if you hate them. That'll really stop them.

It is amazing how credulous people are.
You supported Joe Biden who was caught taking billions from foreign countries. He was also obviously demented and obviously a puppet.
Further we see the hatred and the violence that flows from the Democrat party every day. You are all violent vicious and support terrorism of political opponents.
You are demanding that we all support your obvious racism with DEI and AA.
You demand a 1st amendment right to chant "From the River to the Sea."
You defend the Palestinian terrorists on our college campuses the day after one of them shoots 2 people while chanting "Free Free Palestine."
Yeah get F'd. You people just need to become decent people or leave. No more pretending. You are scum and your institutions are venal, corrupt and evil.

It will get a TRO from a corrupt Regime Judge who has family members that got USAID money.
It will also put the courts on the 30% side of another 70/30 split as it tries to thwart the will of a President that was just elected in a landslide to do this exact thing.

I don't accept "last night our government failed us." Does he mean for not solving gun control?
No. He meant that there are numerous terrorist groups that have been forming and terrorizing people on college campuses and that these terrorist groups should not be protected and supported by the Democrat party and allowed to send people out to commit acts of political violence.
If people in these groups are foreign born they should be sent home. If they are domestic terrorists they go to jail.
That is how our government failed them.
One guy's opinion. It's certainly descriptive, but not definitive.
Jews and Palestinian Arabs share similar ancestry. Jews were expelled from Jerusalem by the Romans, but not from the outlying areas. Many eventually converted to Christianity or to Islam. The Arabic conquest didn't replace that population with Arabs, nor did the Ottoman takeover.
I always thought of Columbia as a largely Jewish school, although my SIL's Brooklyn father and two brothers went there (before 1970). Are the international students the source of the antisemitism, or the faculty?
Achilles - I did not support Joe Biden. I have been a Republican my whole life and have never voted Democrat. I voted for Trump, but I think he's been a disaster this term. I know people here don't believe me and think I'm pretending, but whatever. Richard Hanania seems to be taking a similar path, so I'm hardly the only one who feels this way.
Ralph L - Yeah, Columbia is like 30+% Jewish. The antisemitism accusations are pretextual. Don't believe the media BS.
Until recently I've been suspicious of the concept of "stochastic terrorism". Mainly because if we raise principled objections about some action or policy and then some maniac does something stupid and violent it's somehow our fault. Sloppy thinkers trying to connect A to V.
Since October 7 I'm starting to think the concept makes sense. That the protests have always been essentially about killing Jews.
"The antisemitism accusations are pretextual."
There has always been both antisemitic and other opposition to the Jewish state. But the situation today cannot be divorced from the brutal more than 18-month retaliation for October 7, which has even Trump off and on calling on Netanyahu to stop.

The reason we think you are not being honest here is because this administration has been everything we voted for. There are more things we hope for but the only thing we complain about is that it isn't happening faster.
Trump has only knee capped 2 of the Ivies. He needs to do this to the entire University system.
Trump is returning power and status to labor. Most Americans are in the working/middle class and they have been sold out to the top %1 for the last 50 years. You pretend we don't know what is going on.
We all know what you are upset about. We all know what the Life Long Republicans are.
You are a cliche.
"We all know what the Life Long Republicans are."
They're the people who worked along with the Democrats to bring the country to the point we're at today. Today, there's someone who wants to try to fix things and all they do is bitch and moan.
For the longest time, they were in charge of the Republican party. If the party base complained about not being listened to by their betters, those in charge practically taunted them with "You need to fall in line and support what we're doing. What are you going to do about it, anyway? Vote for a Democrat?"
Now, those deplorables have someone who's on their side and working for their benefit, and the LLRs are all pissy because they're not calling the shots like they're used to.
That's who they are.
There's a really ugly strain in me that kinda looks forward to the day the ""There is only one solution: Intifada, revolution" crowd realizes that their intifada has now bumped into Billy Ray Bob and his gun collection.
All assholery aside, the Democratic left has stepped in a pile of shit now that their accolites are killing people and setting off bombs. It is not cool to kill now. 80-20. The democrats who approve of killing are unpopular.
This is not 1968, you can’t blow up things and get away with it because your dad is an exec with con ed. Free as a bird, guilty as hell.
We need more Somalis in Congress.
"Intifada, revolution" crowd realizes that their intifada has now bumped into Billy Ray Bob and his gun collection."
Is this the same crowd desiring to round up all those hundreds of millions of guns that are in the hands of who knows who? You know- the same people who insist that tens of millions of illegal aliens should be allowed to remain in the country because there's really no way to round *them* all up?
If you know your local law of self-defense . . . I submit that the sight of a keffiyeh, or a Palestinian flag, now meets the requirement that one feel a reasonable fear of serious bodily harm. They are killers. Defend yourselves.
Bobby,
Go away, Moby.
(Or should that be, "Go away, fedposter"? Kinda hard to tell these days.)
