If you're a guest, act like a guest. Anti-Israel protests are by extension a protest against the US foreign policy, so yeah... You protest your host in a violent and disruptive manner, you probably shouldn't have been allowed in to begin with.

Not in my America.

I welcome any and all persons from anywhere in the world if they want to come and protest the American war machine

Our forefathers would be absolutely ashamed at what you just said. Protesting a totalitarian government that lacks proper representation is the most American thing you can possibly do, and that makes these immigrants more American than you will ever be, as long as you hold such views.

Edit: It seems you have edited your post in order to remove the extremely distasteful language you originally expressed. I assume you still hold such views or you'd not have expressed them to begin with, and as such my comment still stands.

Fuck that!

We have this thing called the First Amendment. It applies to all people under the jurisdiction of the United States. There’s no exception for “guests.” Criticizing the government is a time-honored American tradition. Throwing people out for it is absolutely vile.

It's hard for me not to be extremely cynical about the anti-Israel protests that happened. For one thing, a lot of people who favor them gloss over the illegal things done at them like break-ins, vandalism, trespassing, and illegal occupations.

But in general I think the case made by the pro-Palestinian side was that somehow universities bore responsibility for what Israel did because of vague investments in their endowments. I didn't think owning an ETF that held a weapons manufacturer or some Israeli company on the stock market was explicitly Zionist but this was the premise for protests. Why not protest the US or Israel directly? It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

It felt like they were asking universities to explicitly be pro-Palestine which is a strange thing to ask for in America.

We were talking about the Tufts PhD student who did not engage in any violence or disruption, but wrote an op-ed advocating for a boycott of another country.

A protest is disruptive by definition.

Making America subservient to Israel's interests is anti-American. The fascist zionists play at being "America first" but this couldn't be further from the truth.

I do not accept this view. Anti-Israel protests are by extension a protest against Jewish billionaires, who out of religiosity believe Israel must prosper even if America burns or the ammendments are ammended. Israel's formation and genocide is alien to the morals of the United States and the values the founding fathers held dear. America's foreign policy is shaped by lobbying. You are absolutely wrong my dude, but you are a testament that the ROI on propaganda for billionaires does have a high return indeed. Your view is anti-American, for it puts Zionist and Israeli interests above our morals, values and chiefly in this case American interests (students contribute to our economy through spending and innovative technologies, not Palestin'es or Israel's).
