What does anyone expect? These students from Students for Justice in Palestine (UNCSJP) and other thuggish groups have been coddled for years. It isn’t as if they haven’t noticed. They know they will suffer few, if any, consequences, despite the tough talk from administrators.
“More UNC protests: ‘Number of buildings’ damaged by pro-Palestinian group at UNC; police searching for assault suspect,” by Monica Casey and Carly Haynes, WRAL, September 20, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Pro-Palestinian protesters on Thursday afternoon spray-painted the ROTC Armory building at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and vandalized other buildings.
Thursday’s protests come on the same day the Israeli military launched a new wave of attacks in Lebanon. Lebanon’s health ministry said Wednesday that at least 20 people were killed and 450 others wounded by exploding electronic devices in multiple regions of the country,
Authorities said they are searching for someone they say assaulted someone during the protest during. Police said the assaulted happened around 1:17 p.m. in front of Carolina Hall.
Police provided a photo of the person, who was with the group of protesters.
Before 2 p.m., WRAL News received photos showing the ROTC Naval Armory building at 221 S. Columbia St. sprayed with words reading “Israel bombs USA pays” and the words “burn” and “riot.”
Another student reported protesters interrupted her class at Mitchell Hall, located a half-mile from the ROTC building. Videos shared on social media showed protesters going building-to-building.
One student told WRAL News her Jewish studies class was interrupted by protests. Samuel Benaim, who was also in the class, said they couldn’t even hear the speaker talk.
“We had a guest speaker at the time and the guy was fully interrupted. [He] couldn’t talk to us,” he said. “It was very intimidating.”
Sky 5 flew overhead at 3 p.m., when students were cleaning paint off the ROTC building.
The group Students for Justice in Palestine (UNCSJP) claimed responsibility for the protest, releasing the following statement:
“The student movement is protesting UNC’s refusal to divest from the apartheid regime and genocidal campaign being inflicted against the Palestinians by the Zionist regime … until UNC ends its complicity in genocide, the student movement shall continue to organize and disrupt business as usual.”…

Student government could revoke any affiliate status of these groups . . . but they won’t. And don’t expect the Livy-livered administration to do anything.

The pally flag is as offensive as a swastika
color coding according to some sources..
Black=isis
White=al qaeda
Green=hamas
Leftys seem to like displaying the Pally flag as a virtue signalling exercise in lefty hypocrisy and not even getting the Irony …
…sort of like those socialists of the National “Socialists” kind.
Leftys wouldn’t be the new Nazis now,right?

Here is the bigger picture I would argue: Damage done across America on college campuses, such as at UNC, and elsewhere in America far away from college campuses, by pro-Palestinian protesters since last October 7th (a day that will in infamy for all those who prize both liberty and truth), is just a foretaste of what these fools or worse than fools want to do to all of America—and to Israel of course—and to all the West. These detritus of mankind want extermination here. Utterly.
Put another way, the ultimate culprit is Islam—all of it. And I want to stress the last phrase, i.e., “all of it” whether promoted by Muslims or useful idiot dhimmis shilling for Islam.
Islam is as much a mortal enemy of the best of the West as were/are Nazism and Marxism. All three are totalitarian ideologies but here is where Islam “bests” the other two easily—it hides behind its religious veil superbly while the “other two” were “merely” secular totalitarian ideologies, thus proving that a religious totalitarian ideology is far more deadly to the progress of mankind. Here Islam is the clear “winner.” No contest. No contest whatsoever and why Marxism and Nazism have been just junior varsity players in the hate game. Islam is full varsity where hatred on steroids is concerned.
You bet. A given.

Well written, Wellington.

Wellington says,
“… a religious totalitarian ideology is far more deadly to the progress of mankind.”
Yes.
Islam, an evil religion, uses religious “protections” in order to advance its jihad “end game” (sharia) in the Western world.
OLD GUY says
Absolutely dead on. Islam is the PROBLEM.

The AG in MI is going after ‘palestinian students” in her state (she is a Jew) and r tlaib, the infamous palestinian *rep* is complaining about it.
All 50 AG’s should be investigating, arresting, indicting, trying and punishing all who are found guilty in cases such as this. The criminals are bragging about their crimes and saying they will keep on until they get what they want.
As hamas has held and murdered hostages, these palestinian criminals are attempting to hold the nation hostage to their evil demands….and killing it if they can.
And when I read the headline…”police searching for assault suspect,” …I was expecting it to say, “police searching for a motive.”

Where is NC Attorney General Josh Stein? These animals destroy and deface tax- payer funded property and we get crickets from his office. Oh, and add ethnic intimidation.
And you want to be our next governor?
Pathetic. Our apathy will eventually destroy our freedom.

This is a very clear example of the dire strait of American colleges and universities. It also explains why my wife and I heavily support Hillsdale College.
