The story describes the rioters as anti-Israel, but does not indicate that they were anti-semitic.

You dont think the riots were antisemitic?

BCP1928 said:

Not necessarily, To believe that would require one to believe that the present state of Israel is the fulfillment of God's biblical promise to the Jews, a position not taken by all Jews.

That’s not true. Anti-Semitic just means anti-Jew. The pro Palestine activists that took over the library at Columbia University were simply anti Jew. I don’t see how this has anything to do with biblical promises.

Where is the evidence of discrimination at Colombia University?
Where is the evidence of antisemetism?

Has the DOJ released any findings?

You mean it avoids the embarrassment of not having any evidence.

It's obvious Columbia settled to free up Federal funding -- funding the Trump Administration had frozen based on accusations. That's quite the racket....

That's a claim. Where is the documented evidence?

Yes, hence the foolishness in presuming guilt based on payment.

In typical Trump fashion, he swamps his opponents with litigation to the point where it’s just easier to settle to make the problem go away than to try and fight his army of lawyers for years on end. Sad to see major institutions cave to his thuggish tactics. I can’t blame Columbia for thinking primarily of their students first and just settling to immediately free up the federal funds the administration was threatening to withhold.

My point was that anti-Israeli is not necessarily anti-Jewish, and the story you posted describes the protests as anti-Israeli, not "anti Jew."

Wondering if you use this same reasoning regarding cities settling on suits against law enforcement.

Belk said:

I do. I don't believe them guilty or innocent based on a settlement but on what I know of a case.

See and hear what? A bunch of partisan rhetoric like "Well that's how the left does elections!"? I know this will come as a shock to you but I do not evaluate the world with the same filter you do so I come to different conclusions about the meaning of events.
