  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Masked demonstrators chanting “Every fascist state must fall” and “Palestine is Arab” banged on drums and waved Palestinian flags as they took over the building starting around 4 p.m. Wednesday. They called for Barnard, which is affiliated with nearby Columbia University, to reinstate the expelled students, grant amnesty to all protesters facing disciplinary action and hold a public meeting with President Laura Rosenbury and Dean Leslie Grinage.

Identify the students and deport them.

I don't think you can deport American citizens (at least, under current law). Imprison, possibly, if the protest crossed the line into physical violence, or require community service.
