    You're describing an impossible scenario. Hamas should be destroyed, but there's no way to destroy Hamas without inflicting non-combatant casualties.

    We don't fire weakling male presidents?
    Public universities like UCLA would have a hard time making a lifetime expulsion stick.
    What about their children? Have you thought this through?
    Why do the police need an invitation?
    So, you get the boot without any chance to explain?
    What "anti-American" ideas are you talking about?
    Naming and shaming doesn't do much, I'm afraid. Just hold them to account.

    Americans do NOT like what we are seeing on our Leftist campuses.

    Americans don't just want these violent anti-Semitic students tossed, they want similar faculty tossed as well.

    Most students aren't as weak-minded as you seem to think they are. If these professors are as influential as you fear, how come they have so few followers?

    ???? uuuh because they have so many followers, Their neo marxist ideology is now entrenched in K-12 education. Entrenched in corporate governance. Entrenched in government.

    “Pro-peace” protesters attacked Jewish students, chanting “Death to America” this week.” #protesters (youtube.com)

    NYPD official: Items found at Columbia show protesters were far from benign | The Times of Israel
    Gas masks, knives, ‘Death to America’ pamphlet recovered


    'Death to America' rapidly emerging as key slogan of anti-Israel agitators in US (yahoo.com)

    Its basic neo marxism ideology. The US as a nation and Jews as individuals are champions of capitalism.

    They don't like what they see on television about what's happening at a few universities. There are more than 18m students attending higher education in the United States.
    No, they want police, then the courts, to deal with people who break the law by occupying public property, assaulting police or people going about their business.

    A few hundred leftwingers are arrested and tut-tutting rightwingers get all excited. 40-year-old tv news "talking heads" are going on about this is a rerun of the 1960s. There were thousands of actual bombings every year back then. Our schools had so many bomb threats that no one lifted a finger under the threat was a bomb going off in minutes.
    Corporations are Marxist? :roll: :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol: K-12 schools are run by local school boards.
    There are damn few Marxists anywhere.

    Uhhhhh the comparison was of the current protests with the 68 protests, not the bombings of the 60s


    "Corporate governance" is carried out by individuals graduated from our system of academia. They bring the Neo Marxist ideology with them.

    No, they are run by the teachers unions and members, And administrators who have gone through schools of education in academia.

    Critical pedagogy embraces the belief that educators should encourage learners to examine power structures and patterns of inequality through an awakening of critical consciousness in pursuit of emancipation from oppression.
    Rollins School of Public Health | Critical Pedagogy (emory.edu)

    They dont identify as Neo marxist. A label usually only used by their critics. They are "post modernist", "critical theorist" that do their best to keep their marxist roots on the down low.

    Concern for social "base and superstructure" is one of the remaining Marxist philosophical concepts in much contemporary critical theory.[11] The legacy of Critical Theory as a major offshoot of Marxism is controversial. The common thread linking Marxism and Critical theory is an interest in struggles to dismantle structures of oppression, exclusion, and domination.[12]
    Critical theory - Wikipedia

    While the godfather of critical theory-

    Max Horkheimer first defined critical theory (German: Kritische Theorie) in his 1937 essay "Traditional and Critical Theory", as a social theory oriented toward critiquing and changing society as a whole, in contrast to traditional theory oriented only toward understanding or explaining it. Wanting to distinguish critical theory as a radical, emancipatory form of Marxist philosophy.....

    wasn't as shy about the marxist roots of its ideology. NOT Karls version of marxism but instead "NEO marxism". Post modern marxist, cultural marxist.

    Examples of neo-Marxism include analytical Marxism, French structural Marxism, critical theory, cultural studies, as well as some forms of feminism.

    Donald J. Trump graduated from our system of academia. According to your logic that makes him a Marxist. He is also a member of corporate governance which further cements the fact that he is a Marxist.
    He is good friends with both Putin and Kim Jong-Un who both have strong links to Marxism.
    Ergo Donald J. Trump is a Marxist.

    Noooo. Conservatives, Republicans tend to not buy into the propaganda that the left half tends to embrace. I went through college 87-91, Economics and law degree, I witnessed it first hand and can only imagine its turned up to 10 by now. Law school was embroiled in the then controversial evolution of Critical Legal Studies when it first began to morph into the Critical Race Theory we have today. Took every Constitutional law course I could and was pretty much the # 1,2 or 3 champion of the conservative half of students in debates because most of the conservative students kept their views to themselves. I made it out the other side of indoctrination program with by beliefs in tact. Half the students eagerly internalized the doctrine they were fed.

    VERY first semester of even undergrad

    was on the required reading list. Marcuse, the Frankfurts school # 1 transplant to the US at Columbia.

    Oh but you're wrong. Surely "cancel culture" has taught us something?

    They're living in your head with this stuff. Years ago, they burned American flags.
    Oh, geez.

    And you don't think the bombings were an extension of their protest.
    :lol: :lol:
    You're not describing public education in the United States. It's not even close to reality.
    Constipated nonsense,
    Their ideas are headed for the dustbin of history.

    Are you talking about those "mostly peaceful" protesters?

    Yes. Spray painting buildings, breaking windows, wrecking the inside and firing fire extinguishers at police is all “very peaceful.”
