Do the Gen Z pro-Palestine protesters even know what they’re screaming, yelling, and encamping about? Definitely not.

A Columbia University student who rushed down to NYU’s campus in solidarity with protesters there said on camera that she actually had no idea what they were protesting, eventually admitting she needed to be “more educated” on the issue.

I’m sure that’s very much the case with her countless classmates donning keffiyehs and chanting anti-Israel slogans.

Forget the three r’s, these Ivy League elitists are schooled in the three i’s: ignorance, indoctrination and Instagram.

International politics are complicated, and yet Gen Z has appointed themselves as experts before even graduating from college or bothering to learn any of the details.

Diplomats, negotiators, and world leaders have failed to solve the decades-long conflict.

But don’t worry — the Zoomers have everything figured out!

When I was at Columbia during this week’s protests, I saw signs like “dykes 4 divest,” “gays for Gaza,” and “lesbians for liberation.”

The same way German students in the 1920s protested with the National Socialists.

Your generation doesn't know a lot of things.

Because they've been spooned the old collectivist oppressor/oppressed dogma that the world is a terrible place, and want to be that edgy and supercool persona while 'making a difference' and 'changing the world'.

They don't realize that they're just recycling the same old Marxist agitation and deconstruction strategy of revolution since the 60's as they willingly play the useful idiots.

If I have one big complaint against Gen Z, they are overconfident with little to no resume, and tend to be legends in their own minds thinking they are on the cutting edge doing things that have never been done, that have been done many times over because they have zero knowledge of history.

Participation awards were very destructive...

My first day as a grad student on the Wash. U. campus, I nearly turned around and went home. The groups vying for students to join them included more than a few communist organizations. It was a real culture shock for someone who went to a Christian university for undergrad. A large percentage of my classmates and professors were Jewish. I wonder what they think now of their alma mater.

This is pretty funny.
It’s honestly difficult to differentiate between satire and reality these days.

Bring back the '67 border.  You know, the one where the West Bank was part of Jordan.

Don’t buy the left’s gaslighting — ‘outside agitators’ aren’t behind campus antisemitism
By  Andy Ngo

Far-left and pro-Palestine extremists mobilized at Columbia University last week for an occupation that’s shut down campus.

Promoters of revolutionary “direct action” chanted explicitly in support of Hamas and urged the Palestinian Islamist terror group to “Burn Tel Aviv to the ground.”

Over the weekend, a group of pro-Israel counterprotesters were met by a keffiyeh-wearing woman who held up a sign and arrow declaring: “Al-Qasam’s next targets.”

Al-Qassam Brigades is the Hamas military wing that led the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks in Israel. ...

Today’s anti-Israel extremism is part of the same moving train that drove violence in 2020, the anti-MAGA riots before that and the campus social-justice craze before that.

In fact, the people and tactics are largely the same.

The campus occupations are modeled after Seattle’s 2020 “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone,” where masked far-left militants occupied urban land by force and created a separate society that didn’t recognize American laws.  ...
