Activist Groups Trained Students for Months Before Campus Protests
The Wall Steet Journal ^ | May 3, 2024 | Tawnell D. Hobbs

The recent wave of pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses came on suddenly and shocked people across the nation. But the political tactics underlying some of the demonstrations were the result of months of training, planning and encouragement by longtime activists and left-wing groups.

At Columbia University, in the weeks and months before police took down encampments at the New York City campus and removed demonstrators occupying an academic building, student organizers began consulting with groups such as the National Students for Justice in Palestine, veterans of campus protests and former Black Panthers.

They researched past protests over Columbia’s expansion into Harlem, went to a community meeting on gentrification and development and studied parallels with the fight over land between Palestinians and Israelis. They attended a “teach-in” put on by several former Black Panthers...

The National Students for Justice in Palestine ....posted drawings with “friendly advice” to protesting students. One suggested they wear comfortable clothes and running shoes and bring water, an energy bar and a bandanna in case of surveillance. Another referred to police as “pigs” and offered this advice: “If someone is arrested, don’t linger too long or pigs will kettle the march,” referring to a crowd-control tactic. “Free the comrade, or else get their name and birthdate for jail support and keep it moving.”

***In March, there was a “Resistance 101” training scheduled at Columbia with guest speakers including longtime activists with Samidoun: Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, a Vancouver, British Columbia-based group that celebrated the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel. The administration twice barred the event, citing some of the organizers’ known support of terrorism and promotion of violence. Columbia students hosted the event virtually nonetheless, which prompted Columbia President Minouche Shafik to suspend several of them....

These thickheads need to get to get it into their mushy brains that Jews are the indigenous and Arabs are the colonialists. Judaism and Hebrew in the land of Israel. Islam and Arabic are from Arabia.

How much training does it take to be a noisy, smelly obnoxious twit/twat?

You can go back that far and prove your point, or you can go to the 1920s, or 1940s.

The overwhelming majority of Arabs in the bounds of modern Israel came after the Jewish landowner’s improvements to properties and infrastructure. They were recent economic migrants who moved in to take advantage of the improved economy.

I am quite sure George Soros had absolutely nothing to do with it.

"...encouragement by longtime activists and left-wing groups."

What a crock!

The strategy, planning, orchestration, and encouragement was solely a brilliant Marxist / communist enterprise...
This attack on the United States of America and its capitalism was carefully developed and staged over a period of 140 years...

1917 redux...

“The overwhelming majority of Arabs in the bounds of modern Israel came after the Jewish landowner’s improvements to properties and infrastructure. They were recent economic migrants who moved in to take advantage of the improved economy.”

Absolutely correct. A recent comment pointed out that Mark Twain in his “Innocents Abroad” noticed how that region was largely an empty wasteland.

He saw how impoverished and backward the entire Middle East was and he blamed the Ottoman Turks. He missed the larger reason, that the problem was Islam. The problem then and the problem to this day.

I doubt there were any undercover feds on campus working to agitate the crowd. They only do that to patriotic Americans. Communist who support terrorists are a protected group.

On a related note, from NYS. What some of our docs have gotten up to...

Interesting.

I wonder if all of these docs received taxpayer funded med degree assistance.
