Have you protested any of these relevant international humanitarian this year or in previous years, or do they only concern you when it comes to pro-Palestine protest?It's not

are you calling for a lot more protesting?I didn't see protests at this level for other conflicts recently.
I have a couple of colleagues who teach at Columbia who aren't particularly partisan one way or another and who have told me that almost all of the anti-Semitic incidents have occurred from groups not affiliated with Columbia. By their accounts, the on-campus encampment and on-campus student organizations that are participating are not anti-Semitic. Somewhat ironically, the histrionics around anti-Semitism and the legitimately anti-Semitic incidents are both being driven by people and orgs that are unaffiliated with Columbia.
(Conversely, two Israel Columbia students who are also IDF Veterans physically assaulted student protesters on camera by shooting them with modified bear spray, and nothing has happened to them.)
I've not protested for any of these. I just asked why one and not the other.Have you protested any of these relevant international humanitarian this year or in previous years, or do they only concern you when it comes to pro-Palestine protest?
But isn't this a tradeoff for living in a free society? The right to free speech comes with the "risk" that some people might say some stuff that you don't like or even feels unsafe.Okay, so no expectation of safety on a college campus for a college student who is paying $90,000 to attend school there and the campus has been overrun by god knows what kind of dipshits, many of whom aren't even students there, and are chanting Hamas slogans at him.
If you went abroad for a semester would you expect some shithead local to scream "DEATH TO AMERICA !!!" at you every time you stepped out of your dorm room ?
I don't think the trespassers are on campus. According to most reports, campus access is being restricted to people with student, faculty, and staff IDs. These interactions are occurring off of campus, by all accounts. I'm not sure that CU has any jurisdiction there, though the NYPD does.I agree that Columbia needs to regain control of its campus and get rid of the legitimately anti-Semitic trespassers.
I might ask why you haven't protested any of these crises if you are indeed concerned about what is happening in these places.I've not protested for any of these. I just asked why one and not the other.
USC's encampment is getting broken up and students are being arrested as we speak.“What starts here changes the world”

he knows that, he’s just delegitimizing the protest. This is just the “protestors from out of town” cliche that authoritarians repeat. The people here are good people, these protestors aren’t from around here. They’re just here to agitate and make trouble.I don't think the trespassers are on campus.
does the rationale being the White House keeps sending munitions to Israel make senseI've not protested for any of these. I just asked why one and not the other.
You very well might.I might ask why you haven't protested any of these crises if you are indeed concerned about what is happening in these places.
Life comes at you fast.I feel like a Twitter account that joined 2021, with only 8,000 followers and 46 tweets a day since then might not be a good follow.
You are not permitted to ask questions on this here political chat thread. If you do, expect condescension, ridicule, and various smarmy hashtags, and to be told you mean something other than you actually mean. It's science.I've not protested for any of these. I just asked why one and not the other.
