 Chants 'calling for the murder of Jews' were shouted at me during Cooper Union protest, student recalls (msn.com)

"Personally, I don't feel threatened by pro-Palestinian rallies or anything in that sense," Lent said. "Everyone has their own right to be doing that, but I definitely did feel threatened when there were chants calling for the murder of Jews being chanted at me from my fellow students." 

The university president acknowledged the incident in a press release saying while "there is room for productive debate and dissent," there is "no tolerance for hate or threatening conduct."

"On Wednesday, there was a planned student walk-out outside of the Foundation Building, part of a larger effort across New York City and nationally," the statement said.  "Students convened in front of the Foundation Building at 1 p.m.; it was a peaceful protest. However, we want to make clear that language displayed on the protest signs may have suggested that the students were speaking on behalf of the college – they were not. The signs carried and posted on the sidewalk in front of the building represented the views of those who created them."

"The president said the university "(condemns) discrimination of any kind, including antisemitism and Islamophobia" as well as  "hateful and threatening acts of any kind – written, spoken, visual, or physical."

"The New York Police Department said there was "no direct threat" to the Jewish students during the ordeal.

"There was no damage, and there was no danger to any students in that school," an NYPD official said.

"The official claimed the students were not barricaded.

""The doors are open but closed," the official said. "A school administrator thought it was prudent to close the doors and place private security as the protesters were coming down the stairs." . . .

UPDATED: Harvard supports terrorism - Don Surber (substack.com)   Palestinians invaded Israel on October 7 — a holy day for Jews — and raped women, tortured men, murdered grannies, beheaded babies and burned people alive.

"The reaction by Harvard was to hold a vigil three nights later for Palestinians. Harvard’s anti-Semitism is so strong that I am surprised that Hitler wasn’t a graduate. Maybe World War I interrupted his classes on Aryan Studies and Teutonic History.

"The heads of more than 30 student organizations signed a letter supporting Palestinian terrorism because somehow Jews are the villains in their scenario. This presented a public relations problem as it turns out large donors are not crazy; they do not support rape, torture and murder." . . .
