Here is another post I’ll update through the day with the happenings of the pro-Hamas mobs on campuses across America.
In this post: Brown, U. Wisconsin-Madison, Columbia, University of South Florida Tulane.
Brown University
Brown University caves to the mob and promises to consider divesting from Israel:
In a statement, Brown president Christina Paxson said students had agreed to end their protests and clear their camp by 5 p.m. local time Tuesday and “refrain from further actions that would violate Brown’s conduct code through the end of the academic year.”
In turn, “five students will be invited to meet with five members of the Corporation of Brown University in May to present their arguments to divest Brown’s endowment from ‘companies enabling and profiting from the genocide in Gaza.’”
The board will vote on the proposal in October.
Student protesters jumped for joy upon hearing the news of the deal and chanted “with love not fear, divestment is getting near” before beginning to remove their tents.

University of Wisconsin-Madison
University police started tearing down the encampment on Library Mall this morning since tents are not allowed on campus.
Students chanted “disclose, divest” as the cops moved in.

Columbia University
The NYPD dismantled the encampment at Columbia and freed Hamilton Hall. New York City Mayor Eric Adams said many people the cops arrested aren’t even students at Columbia or CUNY.
It looks like a war zone in the building.

University of South Florida
Police arrested 10 people after the pro-Hamas protest was no longer “peaceful.”
FL Police Department is not playing and deployed multiple rounds of tear gas and rubber bullets on protesters at the University of South Florida.
I’m glad they have the Covid mask on🤣🤣🤣

Tulane University
Police arrested 14 people and removed the encampment at Tulane. Two students were arrested. That tells me that, yes, many of these people at these encampments are outside people.

Comments
If Brown’s administrators possessed a scintilla of moral courage and probity, they’d announce that they’re increasing investment in companies run by Israeli Jews; the indigenous people of the middle east.
Alas, such moral probity and courage is conspicuously lacking, as schools seek to pander to and kowtow to their Muslim supremacist and Islamofascist cohort, and, their useful idiot, non-Muslim, Dhimmi-crat allies and enablers.
Agreed.
However, I prefer the description, “useful fool”. “Idiots” do not have the intelligence to understand why what they are doing is wrong. Fools have the intelligence, but are easily deceived and refuse to listen to wisdom. It seems people consider “idiot” a more negative description than “fool”, but many of the worst human beings are highly intelligent fools.
I question the intelligent part
A big part of the problem is admission of people to college who are not smart enough to merit being there.
Studies majors.
Guy, you forgot Congress in your description of what cowards look like. After Nazi Germany and what they did to the Jews, can anyone even think the same way? We have about half of the dirtbags in the House who hate Jews and do not mind total discrimination against them. We hear a lot about AI and I wonder if it could take over the role of Congress and maybe even the POTUS.
I suggest you watch the “Person of Interest” series for an idea about what that would look like.
It is clear that the faculty and administrators are in total sympathy with the mob and restrained only by the desire to keep rich Jewish donors writing checks.
Tear gas and rubber bullets should be the response after one warning, not as a last resort. Long experience has established that juveniles in cooperation with facilitating non-student agitators relish mayhem and destruction. Give ’em hell.
Tulane takes a ton of Arab grad students from Qatar and Saudi, and they have a huge Jewish undergrad population. Once a safe school for Jews is no more. Tulane likes the Arab oil blood money too much.
I’m afraid that all the alumni donors will not be missed if they pull their money because the Muslim nations will happily make up for the loss. They have also been responsible for the left-wing nut professors that many colleges hired and the foreign students are all Muslims. Our higher level of education and Congress have all been bought out by oil money.
The lesson here is that this behavior gets rewarded. There should be pro-Israel encampments demanding more investment in Israel and cutting funding for the anti-Israel middle east studies departments.
That is absolutely not the lesson.
The lesson is if you try to convince your administrators to do something they already wanted but weren’t willing to do because laws passed by both the United States Federal Government and local state government bans it you might succeed if you could make it look like he/she/it/is nazi a pronoun to? is under some form of duress.
If Jews tried something remotely similar you would see arrests within nanoseconds, and yes Alvin Bragg wants Jews in prison so charges would be brought.
Colombia says it is breaking off diplomatic relations with Israel
One of the least surprising developments of late. Petro is a far-left radical, who’s great friends with all the commie usual suspects in South America. His approval rating is in the low 20s. I would say he should worry about his own house. But, like so many Banana Republics, elections are merely an illusion in Columbia so he’ll probably be El Presidente until he dies.

We know that outside elements are funding student protests, but there’s zero hard evidence showing outsider “boots on the ground” outnumber student “boots on the ground” on university campuses.
I’ve no doubt “affinity group” antifa cells are active on campuses, but again, there is no hard proof of outsider/student numbers.

I’m not sure if counting heads between the students and the professional agitators is the best metric. Sure, there are almost certainly more students at these protests than outsiders. BUT, what’s the arrest rate for the students compared to the agitators? On that question, we do have some real data points. For instance, after arrests were made at a protest in UT-Austin, the school announced that : 45 of 79 arrested on Monday not affiliated with school.
The protestors who seem to be more prone to violence and other illegal behavior tend to be outsiders.
The leaders and organizers never outnumber the foot soldiers
Why should anyone believe that if the full “Corporation of Brown University” votes against divestment in October that the riots and protests won’t be restarted?
Furthermore, why should only the student leaders who support BDS be allowed to speak to representatives of the Corporation of Brown University? Shouldn’t there be people there who support dealing with Israeli companies?
The bottom line will be that the students said they wanted a “dialogue” which is not a dialogue at all, and then will protest again like petulant children if the vote goes against them.
They don’t really want a dialogue or even a vote.
They want the tyranny of the few.
Meantime, how many Jewish students are packing up their stuff and clearing out of Columbia and Brown?
Between all this protesting of basically everything under the sun, when do these idiots actually have time to go to school?
I’m willing to bet a huge percentage of the actual student protesters are in Styrofoam majors.
Some profs are offering course credit for protesting/rioting.
I wish I were joking.
How about the federal government disinvest all grants and student loans to these moronic, hamas loving colleges? What if the students at Brown demand that all the Jewish students have to wear a gold Star of David? Will they cave to that crap too? Because that’s the road they are traveling down right now. FJB
Maybe the Feds could just enforce the law. In this case, Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
“No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
Want to harass Jews or allow that harassment on your campus? Kiss your fed funding goodbye.

Just as the country is splitting and choosing sides, the individual institutions in in the country are choosing sides. Those choices can be irrevocable.

Thankfully, these institutions have to sell themselves to the consumer.
Their perceived value is rapidly going down the drain.
