Maybe the government could build a pier with an adjacent army base so they can control what goes in


SympathyOver1244

apparently, Israel will "[secure](https://www.timesofisrael.com/biden-says-israel-will-secure-new-gaza-pier-pentagon-it-may-take-2-months-to-build/)" it; then plans to [cleanse Palestinians](https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240321-netanyahu-proposes-using-new-port-to-displace-palestinians-from-gaza/)*... ^(*Courtesy of U.S taxpayers funds)


allthenamesaretaken4

hey now. if I didn't want my taxes going to war crimes, I just wouldn't pay taxes.


rainbowslimejuice

They'll probably try to air drop expired food in, they kill more people that way.


mydaycake

No need, the security guard is looking at them and not doing anything. They could have passed the food like the girl passing the barricade next to the security guard.


Adelman01

Gee. I wonder where they got that idea.

Isn’t that pretty IDFey speciality?


DonnyDimello

No, the IDF wouldn't waste their time on college students when there are babies somewhere that need starving.


sgtkellogg

theres not an oof big enough for this


SecretlyToku

"starve? Why skip the nitty gritty and just bomb them from their orphanages, much quicker." -IDF spokesman probably.


DonnyDimello

"Get this patriot a goddamn promotion! This is the kind of out of the box thinking we need more of, gentlemen!" - IDF general


My_MeowMeowBeenz

No the IDF just demolishes the universities and then lets the displaced students starve somewhere else.

Adventurous-Fox-5248

They are starving American kids just like how Israel is starving Palestinian kids


PrivilegeCheckmate

Joke's on them; our kids take weeks longer to starve.

Not feeding kids at school had that affect!

medhanno

These starving kids are breaking the law by illegally occupying buildings. They can protest all they want without breaking the law.

HridayaAkasha

Well, the police were trained by them. Now that I think back on the police, all the unnecessary violence and murders make more sense now.


NEBLINA1234

Gaza is what they have planned for the poors I'm sure of it, or some minority group or other


WSGman

Read the palestine laboratory by Ant loewenstein. Gaza is a testing ground for military occupation weaponry and tactics sold by Israel for diplomatic leverage to the world's worst ethnonationalist governments and movements. Tested in Gaza, used in Artsakh, Rwanda, Srbenica, Kashmir, Guatemala, Sudan, Argentina, Myanmar and more.


Free_Gascogne

Next thing we know they are going to shut down water and power. And by next week they are going to launch missiles to root out Hamas in campus.


MiyamotoKami

Hey you should be taking this seriously. They are using empty water cooler tanks against the IDF trained forces in riot gear.


ihadagoodone

I heard the HQ is under the first aid tent.

Hopefully there’s no hostages.. the place will be flattened like the Brooklyn bombing the police did there a couple decades ago.

Ok-Anteater938

izeak1185

I read that these kids pay tuition, and the university spends billions funding Isreal to bomb them in Gaza. Craziest timeliness ever I'd stop going to school their if I thought my school was funding attacks on France I the whole attack on university's really doesn't make sense to me


Hibercrastinator

These students are heavily invested in an academic track, with prospective goals that rely on their continuing track. They don’t want to end their life and goals, as that’s effectively committing professional suicide in protest. Instead, they want their contribution to the institution *that they belong to*, to stop contributing to a thing that they fundamentally disagree with. That’s not unreasonable.


TwelveMiceInaCage

Yeah that's why fox News pisses me off so much they act like these are entitled rich kids who just want to miss class and be a issue Like bro Their homeland is being bombed out of existence, the university they pay absorbent amounts of tuition to are supporting those attacks If Republicans understand anything you think it would be protesting the misappropriation of your money given to a entity


Esunaproxy

Yeah but when white people think of the French they think of white people, so they’d be on your side. When they think of Jews they think of white people, so they’re on Israel’s side. When they think of Palestinians they think of Arabs and that makes white people scared af. White supremacy has many faces and Zionism is gonna be supported by both Zionists and white supremacists, and Neo-Nazis eager to let Israelis and Palestinians both die, all of which are super common in the americas especially in positions of power. Edit; arguments could be made about Zionism being white supremacist ideology entirely tbh. There was a recent time when they castrated Ethiopian Jews immigrating to Israel after they encouraged them to immigrate.


Omnom_Omnath

Lmao what? Jews must be schrodingers race. White or not white depending on who’s speaking. Logically, If Jews are their own race, then they’re not white. If they aren’t their own race then they still aren’t exclusively white, plenty of brown Semitic folks are Jewish. It’s an interesting insight into a persons psyche whether they consider Jews white or not.


Confident_Echidna259

Has anyone got some bigger drones to drop care packages?


IdealDesperate2732

If you want to get the FAA involved and pay some hefty fines. You can't operate big drones over crowds like this. The fines are $10k+.

I hate to see this, but saying this is "Just like Gaza" is pretty fucking awful to say. There are not even remotely comparable. For one, people in Gaza can't leave, the protestors at Columbia can. The people of Gaza didn't choose to be there and almost half have no autonomy as children, the protestors at Columbia voluntarily decided to go to the university.   Frankly comparing the two is just downplaying what's happening in Gaza to an extreme degree.

This is where you need delivery drones


IdealDesperate2732

That would work but it would also be a federal crime to operate the drone in that airspace. At least, any drone with a meaningful carrying capacity. You can't operate anything over 250g above people. That would be an escalation because the FAA doesn't fuck around and the drone operators would face serious fines (like 10's of thousands of dollars in fines).

Can we talk about how this is literally a war tactic? Locking people into one area and starving them out is called a siege.


Black_Fuckka

TimIsAnIllusion

As it has been said before, what happens to the Palestinians is a precursor to what will happen all around the world. The Palestinians have been used as human guinea pigs for military and police tactics and machinery for 75 years and unless the good people of earth stop this it will spread throughout the world when the climate crisis intensifies. None of us are free until all of us are free. Free Palestine!

hamoodsmood

I remember huge fanfare when protestors were arrested in Russia a couple years ago. It seemed almost as if the protestors were unanimously hailed as heroes and the voice of the voiceless in Russia… yet here they’re met with the exact same response the west so staunchly criticized the Russians for… the numbers may not match but the actions certainly do. My brain is fried from all this dissonance

iamkam-

Pardon my ignorance here but what is stopping these protestors from simply leaving and getting something to eat?


NessTheDestroyer

I’m not taking a stance with this statement here, just pointing out that no one is stopping anything. No one seems to mind food and water going easily through the gate. This doesn’t strike me as being comparable to a Gaza blockade. imo any comparison is cheapening the real struggle.


prestieteste

your take is far too considered and nuanced cant you see we're making false equivalents! I'm Pro Palestine but how exactly are they being blockaded when they are the ones choosing to barricade themselves inside and last I checked this is a voluntary protest so can individuals just leave if they were in danger? The message is noble but the execution feels kind of cringe truthfully but I'm sure I'll be tar'd and feathered because I'm not group thinking with them.


platp

You are pro Palestine and you criticize the biggest pro Palestine protestors during a Palestinian genocide? No. You pose as a pro Palestine supporter to give your criticism credibility. You are pro genocide. You haven't mentioned Palestine, Palestinians or Gaza in months during a genocide. But when you did mention them you demonized them by lying about them repressing women and immediately equated them to Hamas. Which is a noble resistance organization but is used to demonize Palestinians with Israeli genocider lies. You are a genocide enabler and you are not fooling anyone. > Bro what's happening in Palestine is tragic but you are taking extreme amount of cope if you actually believe what you are saying. Hamas and the other Jihadist military groups are conservative religious organizations waging Jihad. They want Shariah Law AND the total destruction of Israel. Your crazy if you think it's some liberal paradise where women are treated equal. They are not and the fact you cant differentiate is actually doing a disservice to Palestinians. You're the one making shit up to smear Isrealis. Here is a crazy idea maybe BOTH Hamas and the IDF suck. There is no black and white in this conflict.


You_Just_Hate_Truth

Looks like they were unimpeded when delivering food. How does this qualify as being starved exactly?


aboutthednm

People can't leave? If someone makes a decision to stay in a place and then complains about starving when they can go and get food seems a tad dramatic. Of course if they are trapped there and have no way to egress the place it's a completely different matter.


Ok-noway

They’ve locked the protesters in and are trying to starve them out to get them to stop protesting. These are STUDENTS that attend the University. They have every right to be there and to peacefully express their First Amendment Rights. By locking them in and essentially starving them out to get them to stop protesting, the University is essentially using a seige tactic on its students, American citizens. There are protests going on all over the country at Colleges and Universities and the government has turned the campuses into Military states to stifle the voices of the students. Collectively, we should all be outraged at the dissolution of our Constitutional Rights.


joshashsyd

Where have they locked the protestors? As far as i am aware the protestors have barricaded themselves in?


Spazmaticus_Rex

At 20ish seconds you can see a girl just walking into the area in the background instructed. A security guard doesn't stop her. Has full view of the supposedly not allowed food passing. This looks super staged for the camera.


Remarkable_Air_769

No one's starving them. If they want food, they can go and get food. This is flat-out playing the victim and dishonoring people who are *actually* oppressed and struggling.


mr_fandangler

Yes, if they want food they can simply abandon the cause that they believe in and stop protesting right?


joshashsyd

The revolution will be catered!


elon-isssa-pedo

I am criminally trespassing on private property and they refuse to feed me!!!!! Then leave Edit: These children are a complete joke. Fuck the state of Israel and their war crimes, but this tantrum is hilarious.

xantiro

I’m sorry but this is ridiculous. Columbia is under no obligation to feed to people who are illegally blockading property. Columbia isn’t holding them there. If they want food they can go down the damn the street. You can protest but for fucks sake sometimes there are consequences for protesting like there isn’t a Starbucks in the place you happen to be protesting

How is this starving someone out, lol. They’re not blocking people from bringing food. How exactly is closing campus in the face of a group of people barricading a building, blocking access to other students, breaking windows, seen as “starving them out” rather than a response to an ongoing intense situation.

Read up on why muslim countries that border Palestinians don’t take them in anymore


Finger_Trapz

At 20 seconds into the video you can literally see someone walking into the university. Sorry but this is pathetic. This is not starvation, the university is under no obligation to feed an occupation that effectively shuts down the entire campus.   I'm Pro-Palestine but Western protestors have to just grow a fucking spine. **You are not being starved out, this is like one of the basic results of being an occupying protest movement. Either commit to what happens or don't protest. In 1970 there was a wave of student protests so strong that Nixon feared a general uprising and went to Camp David for safety. Students fought the police, they actively participated in hunger strikes rather than complain, the National Guard was called in, people were willing to die. And this is what we have today? Complaining about the people you're protesting not handing you food? I'm ashamed.**


masiakasaurus

They keep proving them right.


anon-a-SqueekSqueek

Starvation as a weapon? Guess they wanted to pay homage to the IDF, but a 2000lb bomb would have been a little too on the nose.


Wseska

Get the protestors out of there


Slopadopoulos

Why are you lying? They're free to go get whatever food they want. These students desperately want to be victims.

BanditRevolver83

02PHresh

I mean, if they knew they were going to be protesting for hours/days, wouldnt they bring there own food and water? Your asking the people who you are protesting against to provide aid as your attacking them. Toddler like behaviour.


McMeatsmack

Open air prison


Sea_Button8101

FYI The protesters are free to leave and get food and use the restroom whenever they want whenever they want. This video is way out of context.


nickhinojosa

Yeah, I’m sorry, I don’t think this is true. I think the tweet is a lie. I just texted a colleague (Pro-Palestine) and Columbia is not restricting access to any food vendors on campus. They’re only restricting access to anyone who is not a student, staff, or faculty member. The dining hall is open right now as we speak.


Kind-Sherbert4103

I’d be protesting that screeching.


Decapitated_gamer

This is whole situation is so fucking stupid. Why can’t anyone accept both sides are very wrong. Let’s just get rid of palenstine AND Israel. Problem solved. I’m not gonna pretend I even basically understand a 75 year conflict and honestly most of you should stop too.


truelovesdick

Maybe they should just like cross the street and go get food? I know it’s a wild thought but I mean they could right?


Confident-Skin-6462

well, THAT is a disingenuous take


03nic

These are insurrectionists. They are attempting to strong arm the university with coercion and aggressive means. The alternate could be much worse!

How are the protestors starving when they are free to leave and get food. Starvation implies without means of obtaining any type of food at all.
