1. Good job, kids. Dressing up like Hamas terrorists is a great choice.

So much for peaceful protest. Obviously not. No free speech here. Just criminal activity.

These students are attempting to get their way by force, having failed to persuade. Giving in to the bullies never leads to good places. These students are basically just trying to bully everyone else, and that should fail in no uncertain terms.

The cease fire Hamas is rejecting will save many lives. The "divestment" Columbia is rejecting will save no lives.

Hamas apologists have a difficult task. They have to avoid mentioning that Hamas launched the war with their barbaric massacre on 10/7. The have to avoid mentioning that Hamas took hundreds of civilian hostages and are still holding hostages. They have to avoid mentioning that Hamas shot 15,000+ rockets indiscriminately into Israel prior to 10/7. They have to avoid mentioning that Hamas explicitly calls for the extermination of Israel. They have to avoid mentioning that Hamas hid in hospitals, mosques, & apartment buildings, and that arms caches and Hamas soldiers were found in all of these locations...

If students really wanted to help the Palestinian people they would be shouting for Hamas to leave, to surrender and return the hostages. The BIGGEST oppressors of the Gazan people are the terror organization Hamas—who steal aid intended for the people to enrich themselves, who seek to martyr their own, who use their people including their children as shields, and who have destroyed all hope for a peaceful and prosperous life. If these students understood one thing, it would be that. But despite many with good intentions, too many are woefully uninformed.

2. For all we know, maybe there really ARE Hamas terrorists in their group.
