The problem with campus protests (Page 9): We definitely agree on the threats and harassment. In their own best interest, Universities need to set up protest zones.

When they are forcing schools to cancel classes it is no longer peaceful protest.

Protesting is fine. Blocking access for others to get to class is not fine and threatening and harassing those who are not involved is clearly not OK.

That would help. They also should not cancel classes.

Israel is spanking Hamas pretty bad, which is their MO. They bring a gun to a knife fight, or in this case they bring bombs to a gun fight. They aren't looking for a proportional response. They want to teach people not to mess with them or the gloves come off. Hamas could stop this by releasing any and all hostages and tuning over the criminals who organized and staged the violent attacks (which they'll never do because they are religious zealots who think differently than rational people).

When Hamas attacks, rapes, murders, bakes babies in ovens, killing some 1200 people on 10/7 after a history of terrorist attacks on the Israelis, nobody is thinking about a "proportional response" proportional responses are for the wussy in the White House.

Then there's that old saying. " With rights comes responsibilities ". Seems as though lots of people either forgot that or are to stupid to figure it out.
