My Mom sent me some pictures of UCLA a few minutes ago…

LOL, I was just about to post about this!
The song is “Hevenu Shalom Aleichem”- We bring peace to you 😊
How can anyone not see the absolute difference between the two demonstrations is beyond me. I guess what we say in Mexico is true: “no person is more blind than the one who refuses to see”.

What does Israel really do for America that we can't do ourselves?

But I'm still the winner! They lied! They cheated! They stole the election!

This looks a lot like the encampment that was set up at our local university (Virginia Tech) minus the Israeli flags, at least not in large enough numbers to notice. I didn't get a chance to go as I had to work but my daughter and her partner went and said it was peaceful.

There have been many peaceful demonstrations and prayer vigils for Palestine, they just don’t end up on the news. And they also aren’t demonstrating because they want an end to Israel or harm to Jewish people, they just want peace. I’m glad that they had a peaceful demonstration for Israel without violence, but there isn’t a reason to use this to demonize a whole other group of people.

I noted that these pictures are similar to ones from my local university. Another similarity is that college administration at both UCLA and Virginia Tech (as well as some other universities) have decided to take a hand-off approach other than security surrounding the university. Hmm. Who would have thought? The groups protesting at the encampment at UCLA, Virginia Tech, George Washington, etc. are the same groups protesting at Columbia, Yale, University of Texas, etc. Perhaps allowing students to protest while protecting all students from outside agitators is a good idea?

So a handful have been peaceful. Have you not seen what most of them have become? Did you not see that at Columbia these students violently entered a building, vandalized it, took employees hostages and are now demanding “humanitarian aid” because they’re thirsty?
I guess their gruhub order of mocha lattes with soy milk hasn’t arrived yet…
Every minute I read of another Jew being assaulted by anti Israel protesters at USC and UCLA.
Sorry, but while exceptions may occur, the overall tendency is clear as water.

From what I’ve seen, most of been peaceful. Those that become violent have been the exception. Of course I do not wish for any person to be assaulted and that should be condemned, but that isn’t the norm for all of the demonstrations that I’ve seen.

You don't illegally enter a building and expect other's to think it's still peaceful.

You don't harass and bully Jewish students and expect other's to think it's still peaceful.

You don't shout out things like "Gas the Jews" and "Go back to Poland" and expect other's to still think it's peaceful.

I could keep going.

I do think there are many who have wished for a peaceful protest(s) but that really isn't the case anymore. Not in most cases.

Outside groups have entered the picture as they did during the BLM protests four years ago and the game playing has changed considerably.
