I live near my alma mater, and there is a large Jewish population and student organization on campus. Literally nobody threatened them or tried to restrict them from doing anything. They even out out a statement that the university was doing a good job to avoid problems. The pro Palestinian protesters, like a dozen students got arrested and I think like half of them got suspended from campus. The chief of campus police retired rather than face trouble because he ripped somebody's hijab off. Now though? Business as usual. No protests or anything.

Did your Alma mater lose funding?

Total lie. Show me one example. 

Come on RV...you have said this multiple times and you know it...you are starting to get to total troll levels.

By the way, as people have pointed out, doing a simple google search would show you many examples of the anti-Israel "protesters" taking over buildings and blocking access for Jewish students.

If I was in Gaza, I'd probably join Hamas, knowing what I know about how they've been treated for decades now. Every person there has family members that have been killed or severely mistreated by Israel. I'd probably have some too. 

Not that I'm a terrorist in my current life. But if I were in that position, I may have been. I know I'd be extremely angry.

First of all, I didn't say it was good what they were doing. Second of all, the qualifier was that would IF I had family members killed or severely mistreated by the Israeli barbarians. Would have done it out of anger; not because it was necessarily the correct thing to do. Anybody screws with me or my family - there's a price to pay. 

Devil is in the details and the wingers ALWAYS ignore those.

LOL...this may be one of the weakest attempts ever to try and walk back your comments...nice try but no one is falling for it.  Like I have said before...based on comments you have made, including the one in question, I would not be surprised if you were not on a list, as you probably should be.

They can waste their money and put me on a list if they want. I don't really care because they'll quickly find out that I don't belong to any extremist groups and have never threatened to actually do anything. Also, zero criminal record. Not even a speeding ticket. Also, an exemplary military record (for it being 3 years enlisted + army reserve/nat guard). I simply empathize with those that have witnessed their entire families being slaughtered by the barbarians of Israel. 

So, any investigation of me will go nowhere VERY quickly. Not to mention that I have way too much to lose.

@red viking I am truly interested where along the way you adopted your extreme views? From what I remember you were a former college football player and you said you are former member of the military. I am assuming the shift came later in life because you would have likely been blackballed from the military if you sympathized with terrorists.

What I think is funny is most Jewish people I know despise Trump because he goes against everything they stand for. So to them, him doing this under the guise of supposedly combating antisemitism, is just a crock.

I'm more of a moderate than most of the people on here. They've gone off the deep end to the right. I would have been considered a right winger back in the 80s.

however, we reserve the right to allow extreme marxist revolutionairies take over our 52B endowment

 

You have to make a choice: do you believe in free enterprise or not? Harvard is a private institution welcome to use their money how they want - including "marxist" research. That's capitalism!

You don't understand the world you live in at all.

This is true of almost everybody on this forum. He just has the courage and self-awareness to admit it.

Crazy idea: if you spend your entire life being bombed by a country and having loved ones die over and over again, you probably would be pretty easy to radicalize against that country. It's just a fact of life.

Republicans were talking about "civil war" if their favorite TV character didn't win the election. Imagine if they had to endure any real hardship or violence like the Palestinians. We'd have MAGA suicide bombers.

Then they won’t mind losing their grant money from the government.
