We're gonna be in the news again

[jtwcornell91]

Cornell hosted a Pathways to Peace event today.

Speakers included a former VPM of Israel.

You can guess the amount of pro-Palestinian "activists" who screamed viva Palestine and got thrown out.

I just got home from it. Was slated to ask a question but after the first students with questions all decided to spend their time telling the former VPM she was a war criminal... didn't happen.

Anyways, ask me questions, I'm probably gonna be quoted in the Sun tomorrow.

I would also put "pro-Palestinian" in quotes there.  I looked up Livni and Fayyad, and they've both spent most of their political careers trying to make progress towards a two-state solution.

Oh no, Livni and Fayyad were great last night. I meant the students in that sentence, LOL. How much they support Palestinians versus how much they simply support Hamas is questionable.

From statements I've heard from the most extreme anti-Zionists in the West, they don't support Hamas specifically so much as oppose Israel, and don't always care who's doing the opposing.

From the D&C: Eight NY colleges under federal antisemitism investigation

https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2025/03/12/ny-colleges-under-federal-antisemitism-investigation-what-to-know/82287156007/

Sixty U.S. colleges and universities, including eight in New York, are under investigation for antisemitic discrimination and harassment, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

Letters were sent to the schools informing them of the investigation, the department's Office of Civil Rights announced in a news release Monday, and warned them of "potential enforcement actions if they do not fulfill obligations under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to protect Jewish students on campus, including uninterrupted access to campus facilities and educational opportunities."
.

Cornell is among these schools, as per the Sun. Page 3 of the print version is all about the panel and everything else around it.

Aye. I mean that more as in, Hamas doesn't always have the interest of the Palestinian people at heart, yet many protesters idolize those "freedom fighters" above moderates calling for peace.

It's not Israel vs Palestine.  It's Likud and Hamas vs the humans.

That's a disgusting comment on so many levels.  Shame on you.

This is abhorrent.  But you'll be outraged because BearLover criticizes a hockey team.

A dead baby's a dead baby. You murder them -- you're a murderer.  I don't care whether you butter the projection of your ego face up or face down.

Fasc are fasc.  Fuck em all.

As I said, absolutely abhorrent and embarrassed that we share an alma mater.

I'm totally with you on this.  I'll be on the second mast.

You didn't stutter; I heard your doctrinaire silliness the first time.  Freiburg had Heidegger; only fair Cornell should have its... local color.

Let your Bibi flag fly.  He's not even committed to his genocide. He's just trying to save his wrinkled old ass by hiding behind you.  So pathetic.

He makes a desert and calls it peace.  Hamas and Likud are the same mental illness.  

Or, more likely, business model.  Prolly the same board, laughing all the way to the bank.

This is the silt trap.  You no like?  You leave.  Not your circus and not your clowns.

It is better to have it out with the fasc in Comments than with ordinance.  They are cowards.  They will always fold in the face of the viciousness they excuse, for whatever supernatural idiocy they ascribe to.
