Violence is Violence: WASHINGTON A private WhatsApp group of Columbia University alumni and pro-Israel activists has been exposed as a hub for efforts to identify, target, and potentially deport students and faculty involved in protests in solidarity with Palestine. According to a report published by The Intercept on Saturday, members of the group, which includes more than 1,000 individuals, have actively discussed how to report pro-Palestinian protesters to law enforcement and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The group, Columbia Alumni for Israel, has frequently targeted Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim students, suggesting that their protests are signs of "support for Hamas" and calling for deportations of foreign students involved, according to the screenshots from the group obtained by The Intercept. The group had already been discussing deporting Gaza protesters, but after President Donald Trump's executive order, "Additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism," which paved the way for the deportation of students involved in pro-Palestine demonstrations, members circulated flyers promoting a pro-Palestine Jan. 21 walkout, the report said. One exchange, cited in the report, reveals group members strategizing how to help ICE identify students on visas by sharing photos and utilizing advanced technology to do so. Lynne Bursky-Tammam, a former assistant professor at Columbia’s Teachers College, was quoted as saying, "Identifying the Columbia student-Hamas-sympathizers who show up is key to deporting those with student visas." Victor Muslin, another alumnus, responded by urging group members to identify students who may be involved in the protests. "If there are photos of someone who needs to be identified (even with a partially obscured face), I have access to tech that may be able to help," Muslin stated, according to The Intercept report, citing screenshots from the WhatsApp group. In late January, a group member shared an article about students protesting Israel’s killing of 6-year-old Hind Rajab, and Bursky-Tammam responded, questioning who funded the protesters and stating, “Arresting them for hate crimes is not enough. We have to get rid of them.” The Intercept said Bursky-Tammam declined to comment on the report and Muslin did not respond to requests for comment. Anadolu was unable to independently verify the WhatsApp messages. In January, Trump issued an executive order ordering the US government to use “all available and appropriate legal tools” to combat anti-Semitism, including prosecuting and removing those accused of "unlawful anti-Semitic harassment". The measure paved the way for student-led anti-war demonstrations that have erupted on college campuses in response to Israel’s military assault on Gaza, which has killed more than 48,000 people, mostly women and children. - Targeting US citizens through other legal means Although the majority of students involved in the protests are US citizens and thus exempt from deportation, the group members discussed tactics for targeting them through other legal means, including “material support for terror organizations.” Civil rights organizations, including the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, have voiced alarm over what they see as an infringement on students' First Amendment rights. "It’s a very dangerous precedent,” said Abed Ayoub, executive director of the committee, emphasizing the broader effort to silence Palestinian and Arab voices critical of Israel’s actions in Gaza. Columbia University has faced intense criticism for its handling of protests, particularly after President Nemat "Minouche" Shafik called in the New York Police Department to disperse pro-Palestinian demonstrators on campus in April 2024. The move sparked a wave of pro-Palestinian protests at universities in New York City and nationwide, with thousands of students standing in solidarity with Columbia students and calling on their universities for total divestment from Israel. Anadolu reached out to Columbia University for comment on the report and inquired whether any students had been deported but did not receive an immediate response.

To pro Hamas People your time is running out, there is no logic to you people. The end result of your unchecked activity would only threaten Jews and make them unsafe in their environments. So mostly that's terrorizing to them and to me.

Finally the radical libs turned their blind wrath fury in a new direction. Because now sea gulls have been getting smarter and are taking out the tasty food that libs love so much. So war has begun yet again. Sigh!

The rather violent protests in the west basically support this guy.

In many words this premise gets pounded hard into the internet, in graffiti and shouted from people's masked mouths: Pro-Palestine activists in the U.S. expose the brutal violence of Israeli settlers in the West Bank, backed by U.S. support. We demand an end to illegal settlements, Israel’s occupation, and the apartheid system that has oppressed Palestinians for decades.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump On Trade, I have decided, for purposes of Fairness, that I will charge a RECIPROCAL Tariff meaning, whatever Countries charge the United States of America, we will charge them - No more, no less! For purposes of this United States Policy, we will consider Countries that use the VAT System, which is far more punitive than a Tariff, to be similar to that of a Tariff. Sending merchandise, product, or anything by any other name through another Country, for purposes of unfairly harming America, will not be accepted. In addition, we will make provision for subsidies provided by Countries in order to take Economic advantage of the United States. Likewise, provisions will be made for Nonmonetary Tariffs and Trade Barriers that some Countries charge in order to keep our product out of their domain or, if they do not even let U.S. businesses operate. We are able to accurately determine the cost of these Nonmonetary Trade Barriers. It is fair to all, no other Country can complain and, in some cases, if a Country feels that the United States would be getting too high a Tariff, all they have to do is reduce or terminate their Tariff against us. There are no Tariffs if you manufacture or build your product in the United States. For many years, the U.S. has been treated unfairly by other Countries, both friend and foe. This System will immediately bring Fairness and Prosperity back into the previously complex and unfair System of Trade. America has helped many Countries throughout the years, at great financial cost. It is now time that these Countries remember this, and treat us fairly – A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD FOR AMERICAN WORKERS. I have instructed my Secretary of State, Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of the Treasury, and United States Trade Representative (USTR) to do all work necessary to deliver RECIPROCITY to our System of Trade!

It is time: Not like any boring moment in the history of the world, but it's greatest! Today I am going to offer my own fictional character the award, the great award that began with Queen Elizabeth herself: BILL HOLE YOU WIN THE BETTER WORLD AWARD for having me believe you are real, and making the world more innocent and dorky.

The one is not more important than the many, which is true with Trans People. Trans People are not a victim because they are the few. We are not a nation of victims.

The law that says thou shall not kill, means mostly: thou shall not be violent, especially in ill will and malice at another or an animal or even oneself. And if this is the case the subject of power is included. Power must obey the sixth law of the ten commandments. Power is not violence.

A woman at a University expressed fear about something in the Bible. We then who go against Jews, may be cursed by God, and history has shown this is true. The next day the front of the University was covered with rabid protestors. Today they are God fearing.
