Chinese natives offer a little insight. They've seen it before:

The Marxist-run Columbia University reaps what it sowed: Communist revolutionaries, who are now turning Columbia into a “People’s University”!  The Chinese Red Guards knew best what a “People’s University” was all about: ouster those in power, put them through struggle sessions, take over the campus, and spread the revolution to the larger society, which is the story of the Chinese Cultural Revolution!

They are American "Red Guards". Mao's Cultural Revolution started at Beijing Univ. & quickly spread to the whole country. Sadly, more than 50% of Americans don't know what we are fighting against.

Jewish NYU professor Scott Galloway blasts the double standard of the anti-Israel protests, says he would be fired if he said “l*nch the blacks or b*rn the gays.”

“I can tell you, if I went into the NYU square with a white hood on and said, ‘l*nch the blacks or b*rn the gays,’ my ID would be shut off by that night,” he said.

The Columbia protester diet: Anti-Israel students munch on Pret sandwiches, pricey nuts and sip Dunkin’

Bellies are full, but the tantrums continue.

The anti-Israel Columbia University students hunkering down on the Ivy League’s West Lawn received a hefty food delivery Wednesday — as they show no signs of abandoning their makeshift tent city.

Fruits, nuts, granola bars and overpriced sandwiches were being handed out like candy to the protesters, who were given a 48-hour extension to camp out on the grounds before the administration warned it would clear them out.  ...

Among the menu items were Pret-A-Manger sandwiches, which range in price from $8 to $16.
