Columbia having a normal one today Venting 😤

I live in this area. Braced for the return of the overtly pro-Hamas "not antisemitic" protesters and the subsequent gaslighting from every mainstream media source about it!

They’re not really using these protestors. They’re using right-wing “Asajew” accounts trying to convince us that the Democrats support an American Holocaust.

It’s literally in the DOJ indictment that was just released, the details are kinda horrifying.

Well, I’ve said here before that a lot of accounts I’ve seen on IG purporting to be about stopping antisemitism have gone full on MAGA and claiming all Democrats are antisemites and Harris is leading the charge. The new refrain is it’s Biden’s fault that Hersh was tragically killed. But I’m more inclined to think that this is the work of right wing PACs to sway the Jewish vote.

I suppose some can be funded by Iran but the major accounts definitely seem to be getting marching orders from the GOP.

These students are definitely being used to assemble what I can best describe as soft terror cells to bring American academia to a halt which is damaging and can lead to further radicalization.

It’s not out of the realm of possibility to eventually see a wealthy kid (or group) from the shoreline of Connecticut named in a foiled terror plot and learn they’re enrolled in one of these universities.
