This song of theirs is fucking fantastic btw!

How does that even "bring the institution into disrepute"?

Reasonable people (read: anti-zionists and neutral non-zionists) would argue the exact opposite.

Alas, a lifetime of pro apartheid propaganda (as in "in favor of apartheid" AND "professional apartheid apologists ") is a hell of a drug..

Good luck living through the ever-increasing frackquakes..

Summing up the essence of Israel's Apartheid regime in a sentence..

The West is a geopolitical, financial military and cultural conglomeration of the world's richest countries, not a race.

And yes, Israel very much IS an example of Western colonialism. That's what it's been from the start and it'll never not be.

It's an apartheid ethnostate by design. Doesn't get much more Western Colonialism than that.

The students’ demands include Columbia’s financial divestment from Zionist organizations, an academic boycott of complicit institutions, cops and ICE off campus and amnesty for all university members unfairly targeted and disciplined for pro-Palestinian actions.

Not a single one of which wouldn't be a given in a sane and civilized modern society.

Columbia’s Public Safety officers immediately responded and violently barred protesters from leaving unless they showed identification, which created a prolonged standoff...

Because of COURSE they did!

When it comes to Apartheid regimes (and indeed most big picture stuff), student protesters are always on the right side of history and the people who derive income directly dependent on the atrocities continuing always react with the subtlety and intelligence of trying to remove a splinter with a machete.
