NYT Business | As Hangry Columbia Student Protesters Voice Their Opposition To A War Full Of Blood, Bodies And Bullets, Are DoorDash And Uber Eats Having A Moment?
“We don’t read. This is the Tonight Show. You wanna go over to Stephen Colbert if you wanna get people that read books.” You could hear a PIN DROP I’m fucking crying help ??? 💀
The sign hanging from Hamilton Hall says “Intifada”. During the 2nd Intifada (2000-2005) there were 138 suicide attacks and 1,038 Israelis were killed. Thousands were wounded. Over 3000 Palestinians were killed. This is what these scholars are glorifying.

I’m taking issue with the illustration of these protests being a problem JUST for Jewish students. John Jay, the freshman dorm, is surrounded by the encampment. It’s difficult to navigate to class. Sure, Jewish students may take more offense, but these are a problem for everyone.
BREAKING: INTIFADA FLAG HUNG FROM COLUMBIA Flags promoting terror are currently being hung from Hamilton Hall at Columbia University. Via @jessicaschwalb7
The problem with announcing that you’re suspending hundreds of students without actually removing from their encampment is that you shift their incentives in a way that doesn’t work to your advantage.

I'm a bit behind... was it the "pro-genocide" or "anti-genocide" jews who have taken over Hamilton Hall? Did Soros Venmo them or ...
OMG - due process so they can charge students under their rules! This is worse than Hitler.

They don't want two states. They want all of it. They don't want space to protest. They want all of it.
Allow me, however, to again invite you to consider how Brightly the Sun would Shining be in the constant Morning In America media coverage, if a Republican POTUS were in the WH & had overseen the recovery and job growth we’ve seen under Biden. The most Magnificent Morning ever.
so ignorant of laws and rules and rights...
It’s very funny that they ordered all these orange vests to be like “we are not students! We are a small number of faculty proudly aligned with the students, if by proudly you mean not proudly enough to take off our masks!”

The total enrollment at Columbia University is around 36,649. A few hundred are involved in the encampment. There are about 7200 full and part time faculty at Columbia University. A few dozen are involved in the encampment. They are not the majority.
are faculty really doing faculty-student things in the encampment where there is viewpoint discrimination? no jews allowed unless they believe x???
These are not peace activists.
These are not peace activists.
personally were i JVP i would not proudly repost a picture on instagram that contains signs that literally say “a curse on the Jews”

@receiptmaven Agreed. It would be great if the students just came out on their own.
@HilaryFernald As an attorney, do you think students with meal plans occupying a building illegally, which they have also vandalized, have the right to have food delivered to them so they can stay inside and continue to stay there?
“We don’t read. This is the Tonight Show. You wanna go over to Stephen Colbert if you wanna get people that read books.” You could hear a PIN DROP I’m fucking crying help ??? 💀
I literally could not conjure up a more obvious breach in academic freedom than physically preventing other students from entering the library because you disagree with their privately held political views. This is a test for anyone who has ever purported to care about academic…
Occupying a campus building, blocking students from attending classes, and vandalizing property is not protected by the First Amendment, full stop. It’s illiberal. It’s illegal. And it should be punished.
NEW: Pro-Palestine protesters have seized Hamilton Hall at Columbia University and barricaded themselves inside. The move came just hours after the school began suspending students over the protests. The protesters draped a banner after taking over the building that read…
In my opinion, the only humane and compassionate position that will set us free is that Palestinians and Jews both have an equal and symmetrical right to self-determination.
I’m taking issue with the illustration of these protests being a problem JUST for Jewish students. John Jay, the freshman dorm, is surrounded by the encampment. It’s difficult to navigate to class. Sure, Jewish students may take more offense, but these are a problem for everyone.
UN: unwilling to condemn Hamas who killed, raped, mutilated and tortured more than 1,000 Israeli babies, children, women, and elderly. Also UN:
@JeffreyLax @TomSugrue Yeah, I agree completely. And, Emory’s behavior is nothing short of shameful. I’m so glad to be leaving this place. Never thought I’d feel so negatively about it.
Glorifying suicide bombings. It’s so clear these kids didn’t have friends who lost parents in 9/11. But must you have that close of a personal touch to terrorism to know it’s abhorrent?
An INTIFADA flag is hung from Hamilton Hall. What a desecration of this building.
I cannot rack my brain hard enough to imagine my peers doing this at Columbia in 2008. Why do they believe there will be no consequences?
@JeffreyLax Oh I’ve got a Boston joke that lands in NYC. Some tourists approached me in South Station and asked me if I knew Boston. I said yes. They asked me a good place to go so I said New York. An Affleck joke. Sometimes I bring in baseball digs but Yanks & Sox only 2.5 games apart so 🤷♀️
@JeffreyLax @TomSugrue At my current institution, our leaders are so will I of to just assume the worst that they knee-jerk into authoritarian, anti-intellectual reactions. At others, they’re too slow or unwilling to act. It’s nice when you see real leadership that’s thoughtful.
I have some thoughts on this fine statement by @Yale President Peter Salovey regarding desire by some students to impose "ideological litmus test" for access to a shared Yale space. Salovey said: “Those protestors asked individuals who wished to pass through or enter their…
I'm as critical of President Biden and his administration as the next guy, but I'm not among those demanding that he take a stand on campus protests. I don't think presidents need to have campus policies, just as I don't think universities need (or should have) foreign policies.
Holmstrom-Milgrom multitask principal agent analyses Chakraborty and Harbaugh persuasion by cheap talk Dziuda-Loeper dynamic pivotal politics Izzo-Martin-Callander ideological competition (and you get fact free learning as a free add-on) Gailmard-Patty slackers and zealots
This banana thing is deeply cringe and demeaning to all involved but we don't have to pretend someone with a banana allergy can't be within 50 feet of a banana.
After throwing bananas into the student encampment precisely because they knew it could kill a student protester, the pro-Israel world has been celebrating it everywhere
The total enrollment at Columbia University is around 36,649. A few hundred are involved in the encampment. There are about 7200 full and part time faculty at Columbia University. A few dozen are involved in the encampment. They are not the majority.
This is a sad thing to read. This is a professor at NYU who says he has never before seen “a real community” until joining a movement to destroy a UN member state.
I spent two hours at the NYU encampment late last night. It was something I’ve never seen before at NYU: a real community, driven by shared ideals and filled with conversations about ideas. We need more of it, not less.
