B-Man Posted April 28, 2024 Author Posted April 28, 2024 Welcome to protest season, where the cause changes but the tactics stay the same Opinion: Protesters focus on a moral panic each summer, to the exclusion of everything else. This year, it just happens to be Israel-Hamas. by Jon Gabriel It’s protest season. Again. This time, the Israel-Hamas conflict is the pretext for activists to block freeways, vandalize buildings and occupy universities. Protesters took over Columbia University’s Morningside Heights campus, renaming it the Gaza Solidarity Encampment. An estimated 800 students set up tents before replacing the American flag with a Hamas banner. They chanted Islamist slogans, told Jewish students to “go back to Europe” and menaced anyone who disagreed. Being a prestigious Ivy League school (annual cost of nearly $90,000), Columbia administrators quickly shut down the unrest. Just kidding, they canceled in-person classes, as during the pandemic. Seems $90K doesn’t buy what it used to. https://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/2024/04/27/college-protests-israel-hamas/73454043007/ 1

That's where the leaders who engage in the polices they oppose reside and do business. Nobody on campus or in any city are in charge of the agenda. I'll tell you why. Because the folks paying the cost of all these demonstrations and sending their paid professional activists don't want to focus any attention on Biden and Congressional Democrats because that might hurt them in November. 1 3

B-Man Posted April 30, 2024 Author Posted April 30, 2024 "There is a long and honorable history of civil disobedience in the United States, but true civil disobedience ultimately honors and respects the rule of law." "In a 1965 appearance on 'Meet the Press,' the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. described the principle perfectly: 'When one breaks the law that conscience tells him is unjust, he must do it openly, he must do it cheerfully, he must do it lovingly, he must do it civilly — not uncivilly — and he must do it with a willingness to accept the penalty.' But what we’re seeing on a number of campuses isn’t free expression, nor is it civil disobedience. It’s outright lawlessness. No matter the frustration of campus activists or their desire to be heard, true civil disobedience shouldn’t violate the rights of others. Indefinitely occupying a quad violates the rights of other speakers to use the same space. Relentless, loud protest violates the rights of students to sleep or study in peace. And when protests become truly threatening or intimidating, they can violate the civil rights of other students, especially if those students are targeted on the basis of their race, sex, color or national origin." https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/28/opinion/protests-college-free-speech.html?smid=url-share
