this needs to end already:The protesters, part of a coalition of 26 campus groups including Columbia University Apartheid Divest, the Black Students Organization, the Muslim Students Association and the Columbia Queer Alliance had arrived to disrupt the event, called Indigenous People Unite, sponsored by the Columbia chapter of Students Supporting Israel (SSI) and featuring Assyrian, Yazidi, Israelite, Native Canadian and Tibetan speakers.
As Rudy Rochman, the president of Columbias SSI chapter, told The Algemeiner reported on Sunday, the event was organized for the purpose of reclaiming the narrative on campus about the ancient connection of the Jewish people to the land of Israel a historical fact that has been denied by enemies of the Zionist enterprise.

(30,109 posts)You can't do stand-alone criticism of BDS, or Hamas...
If the subject is Israel or its supporters, you have no problem criticizing them alone without bringing in Israel's enemies to muddy the waters. Something for you to think about.

(30,109 posts)I've also answered that question many times already. If you want to continue in an earlier thread on that, go for it.
Edit:
I bumped a thread with the indigenous topic in it. The one on BDS being a colonial settler movement.

You know that, right? This is after all the odious BDS movement you claimed to have a low opinion of.
These racist clowns claim Jews are white Khazars from Europe.
