College Democrats: ‘We Commend the Bravery’ of Anti-Israel Protesters
Breitbart ^ | 04/30/2024 | ELIZABETH WEIBEL

Posted on 04/30/2024 1:57:00 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The College Democrats of America issued a statement commending pro-Palestinian protesters for their “bravery,” hours after protesters seized control of a building at Columbia University.

In its statement, the student organization of the Democrat Party said it stood “with the broad and interfaith coalitions of students” that were protesting and had established anti-Israel encampments at Columbia University, Harvard University, Yale University, George Washington University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The statement read:

There is nothing more American than the right to protest peacefully for what is right. The freedom of speech, assembly, and protest is not just one enshrined in our constitution, but one that has been a tradition in America for generations, ranging from movements surrounding Civil Rights, the Vietnam War, LGBTQ equality, and more recently Climate Change.

In the early hours of Tuesday morning, anti-Israel protesters at Columbia University took control of Hamilton Hall, an academic building on campus, and were captured on video smashing the glass doors, bringing barricades into the building, and hanging pro-Palestinian banners from the windows.

Easily as bad as those exercising their First Amendment Rights in the face of anti Constitutionalists on 1/7. Perhaps these students should be tossed in the American Gulag Archipelago along with those 1/7 malcontents.

Then you weren’t around in the late 60’s and early 70’s. It was no picnic then either.

The “college Democrats” commending the bravery of a bully with a group of like minded a$$holes picking on an outnumbered victim. Cowardice of the first degree. Personally I’d like them to be cleared out like the bonus army of the 1930s was dispersed, but I’d settle for water cannons and a year or so in jail for the trouble makers

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer but there is NO WAY the Left/Liberal/Tranny/Homo/Hippie/Lib Soccer Mom/Muslim/Commie/Socialist/Soros Conglomerate allows Trump to become President later this year. NO WAY.

At least they are admitting that they belong to the Democrat Party.

A country that worships Israel over itself?

If they’re so brave, why don’t they go to Gaza, strap on bomb vests and blow themselves up?

Pathetic! Especially since most of “poor misguided yutes” are not students at all but actually professional activists being organized and paid by Soros and company.

Yes, THAT would be appropriate; much more so than firing on vets!

LOL!
Yup, it certainly is brave to stand with crowd...
Certainly a profile in courage ... (snort)...
Kind of like deciding to stand with the Persians at the Battle of Thermopylae.

The future leaders of the Democratic Party.

Just as the "student radical" ruling class kids of the 1960s are their leaders of today.
