This has made the Jew haters and the Islamists on campus very upset

US colleges revise rules as campuses brace for more anti-Israel chaos

Critics say a wave of new rules limiting anti-Israel protests on college campuses impinge upon free speech. But a Cornell Law professor told Fox News Digital that many of these new policies are just explicitly stating already existing policies and protect Jewish and Israeli students’ rights to safety on campus.

The summer break provided a respite from the protests against the Israel-Hamas war that swept colleges nationwide. As students prepare to return to campus this fall, higher education officials have developed strategies in an attempt to balance the rights of protesting students with other students’ safety and their ability to get to the classes they paid for.

“Schools need to reach a balance between the right of students to an education and the rights of other students to protest,” William Jacobson, Cornell Law professor and founder of equalprotect.org, told Fox News Digital.

Some of the new rules imposed by campuses include banning encampments, allowing protests only in designated spaces, restricting access to campus for those without proper university identification, requiring protesters to register in advance, setting limitations on amplified sound usage during class hours, requiring that signs be removed within two weeks of a protest, and limiting the duration of demonstrations.

In a statement issued last week, the American Association of University Professors condemned “overly restrictive policies” put in place, saying that they would discourage free expression.

So, let’s say people were protesting against blacks and wearing KKK stuff: would these same professors be fine with the restrictions? Of course they would. The very fact is that these Jew haters and terrorist supporters were engaged in abusing and intimidating Jewish students and employees and their supporters, which violated the code of conduct rules at all the schools where this happened. Many of the pro-Hamas demonstrators broke the law when they did things like lock people out of buildings and take over buildings. Many of them were calling for the eradication of Israel and a global Intifada, which is a call to kill Jews. They should have been, at a minimum, expelled. Many should have been arrested for making death threats against Jews. They can have their free speech, but, when it comes to death threats that is not allowed.

“Our colleges and universities should encourage, not suppress, open and vigorous dialogue and debate even on the most deeply held beliefs,” the statement read, adding that many policies were imposed without faculty input.

Risa Liberwitz, a professor of labor and employment at Cornell, told NBC that “we are seeing a resurgence of repression on campuses that we haven’t seen since the late 1960s.”

These people should be terminated, as they are calling for allowing violence, intimidation, abuse, and threats to Jews. There was no vigorous dialogue, they were screaming and breaking into buildings and calling for death to Jews. You know these same faculty members would be having hissy fits if the students were doing to them what they did to Jews.

“A lot of what is going on is not actually free expression, it’s intimidation. When you use a bullhorn inside a building, you’re not doing it to express yourself, you’re doing it to intimidate other people,” he said. “People who are complaining about these rules, for the most part, are people who want to intimidate others.”

“It’s trying to create a toxic atmosphere on campus for Israel supporters, particularly Jewish Israel supporters,” he continued.

You see the kiddies, and some college employees, wearing Intifada keffiyehs and even Hamas apparel, so, yeah, that’s bad.
