Columbia sued by Jewish student for failing to guarantee safety - The Jerusalem Post (jpost.com)

April 30, 2024

"A class action lawsuit against Columbia University was filed in federal court on Monday morning on behalf of a second-year Jewish student who alleges the school could not guarantee their safety.

"We support peaceful protests but when a sliver of them invites and engages in violence including saying all "Zionist's" (read "Jews") should be killed and calls for terrorists attacks on American soil, that has no place in our country," Jay Edelson, the attorney representing the students, said in a post on X.

According to Edelson, the lawsuit alleges Columbia needs to enforce its policies and let students feel free to study, take finals and otherwise be students "without worrying they will be assaulted."


Annnnnd might there be a class action lawsuit coming against UCLA too?

Oh goodie, just the kind of chaos that you comrades who think you want it all to burn down love to see.
protests which are powerful, have the opportunity to represent mass opinion and therefore exert the peoples will on government or corporations.

No one is going to be persuaded by young adults acting like babies and trying to go after the Juden on their campuses.

Children playing protester and chanting stupid slogans only stiffens resistance against them. Just like no one cares what you say.

Assuming that's the people's will. If it's the will of spoiled rich kids playing out Marxist fantasies it won't go anywhere.

Israel is enforcing international law.


Use of human shields by Hamas - Wikipedia

"All combatants, including insurgents, are bound by the law of war. Louis René Beres has analyzed the placing of military assets amid Palestinian civilian populations, categorizing it as a clear and punishable crime under international law. Placing military assets or personnel amid civilian populations is considered an act of perfidy, described as a "grave breach" in Article 147 of the Fourth Geneva Convention and forbidden by the Hague Regulations. Additionally, Protocol I of 1977, supplementing the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, contains related prohibitions on perfidy. These regulations are enforced not only through the mentioned treaties but also via customary international law, as indicated by Article 38 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice. A, as underlined in Article 3, shared across the four Geneva Conventions of 1949.[86]"


"US President Joe Biden stated that Hamas was using innocent Palestinians as human shields and emphasized the need to protect them."[76] US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, called on Hamas to stop using civilians as human shields.[77] Secretary-General of the UN Antonio Guterres has also stated that Hamas and other Palestinian factions have been using civilians as human shields.[78][79]

During a UN Security Council meeting on the Middle East held on 24 October 2023, UK Minister of State for Security, Tom Tugendhat, asserted, "We know that Hamas are using innocent Palestinian civilians as human shields; they have embedded themselves in civilian communities." Germany's Foreign Minister, Annalena Baerbock, said: "We must not be fooled by Hamas' playbook," and emphasizing "their use of women and children in Gaza as human shields, and their hiding of weapons under supermarkets, apartment blocks, and even hospitals." Philippe Kridelka, Jean Asselborn, and Sergiy Kyslytsya, representing Belgium, Luxembourg, and Ukraine, respectively, also expressed condemnation for Hamas's use of civilians as human shields.[80]"

Oh, are you ignoring UN opinions on human rights now that they’re not convenient for you?

"In February of last year, a UN human rights panel formally concluded that the British government was violating Assange’s rights by “arbitrarily detaining” him, and it called for his release.
your example would go against the UN's declaration of human rights
