Anti-Israel Students at Cornell Disrupt ‘Peace Event’
“F–k you, war criminals”
This is all these people are capable of doing. Their goal is to make a nuisance out of themselves.
The New York Post reports:
Anti-Israel Cornell students disrupt ‘peace’ event with foul, antisemitic chants directed at ex-foreign minister
Foul-mouthed anti-Israel protesters disrupted an event at Cornell University, where former Palestinian and Israeli officials came together to discuss peace in the region.
The “Pathways to Peace” discussion — which featured Israel’s former foreign minister and vice prime minister, Tzipi Livni — descended into chaos when unruly activists broke out in antisemitic chants and hurled abuse at the politician.
“F–k you, war criminals,” a keffiyeh-clad female student yelled, according to video of the commotion shared by Cornell student Sam Friedman.
“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” other demonstrators shouted, using the slogan deemed antisemitic by the Anti-Defamation League.
Friedman, a 21-year-old junior at the Ivy League institution’s College of Engineering, said he attended because he was “excited” to hear both perspectives.
“I was very excited for the event, I’m a Jewish student, and I’m interested in what’s happening in the Middle East,” he told The Post.
“I thought this was a really good way to hear not just Israeli perspectives, but also Palestinian perspectives.”But from the start, it was “marred with protesters,” Friedman said.
“The irony is that you had Livni, who is a left-wing, pro-Palestinian Israeli, an advocate for the Palestinian state, and the former head of the Palestinian authority, and meanwhile these students not only won’t listen to them but they’re shouting them down,” the junior said.
At least 17 protesters were arrested at the Monday panel discussion, where Livni expressed the importance of respecting both sides.
“I’m not here to open the kind of blame game, who is to blame, because I do believe, even now, after Oct. 7, that the only way forward, if we want to live in peace, is to acknowledge both sides, the legitimate aspiration of both sides, to a state of their own, Israel and the Palestinians,” she said.
If you want to support free speech that's fine by me, but be honest about who are supporting. Here for example we see students at Cornell yesterday disrupting a talk by a former Israeli Foreign Minister from the left AND former PM of the Palestinian authority because they it was… pic.twitter.com/UrsHpHQsCZ

“At least 17 protesters were arrested ,,,”
A good start but will they do any jail time?
No. They are just burnishing their resumes with this,
Trump should do an executive order that anyone participating in these disruptive actions will have their student loans revoked, and outstanding balance immediately requiring repayment.
Rip their masks off, stick a camera with a big flash attachment in their face and hit the shutter button.
I can think of a few other choice places to stick that camera but I’ve enjoined from performing any more colonoscopies without anesthesia and a license.
Seriously time for a mask ban so these ku klux klan wannabees can really stand by their bigoted hateful behavior. Let the world see your ugly faces.
sheep repeating a mantra. like they accomplished anything. they just wanna yell like morons. I pity their parents
From the Jordan
To the Med
Peace will come
When Hamas is dead.
