  • 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.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said 'Pro-Hamas mobs have no place on our college campuses' after NYC chaos​


More protests broke out on Thursday at New York City's Barnard College after a group of more than 50 anti-Israel agitators took over a building on campus the day before.


The NYPD made several arrests after the protests reignited, with around 100 anti-Israel demonstrators gathering in front of the entrance to Barnard, once again wearing masks and keffiyehs and chanting, "Free Palestine."

Tension rose and became more chaotic as protesters marched from Barnard to CUNY's City College campus, to protest outside Gov. Kathy Hochul's event at CUNY, which was canceled due to the anticipated protest.

The protesters were heard chanting criticisms of Hochul and "NYPD KKK," and tried to breach police barricades and get close to officers' faces.
