Showing Original Post only (View all)Protestors block Jewish students from entering UCLA [View all]

There are these people, and there are the people who make excuses for them.
This is illiberalism.

A WS blocking a POC would be an act of aggression - same as an anti-Semite blocking a Jewish person, so no.

Well the hard part is stopping terrorists - it's not like they are amenable to stopping.

I know of no evidence that suggests a connection between JVP and this incident - unrelated.

I'm sure a "thoughtful" WS could supply you with a similar pretense to excuse their hateful intimidation of POC students

They're going to do this to the wrong person at some point, and that person is going to hand out an ass-whooping. N/T

These are anti-Jewish bigots masking their anti-Semitism with political language and using the Palestinians as cover.

How is blocking students from their classes based on being Jewish a valid protest?
