But they must play be the rules also. Like the protest on the A&M campus did. without permission to hold a protest on campus they had no right to be there blocking streets and sidewalks.

Weird how with all those cameras around the protest at UT nobody managed to find a single example of simple anti-semitic signs or slogans, or threats against Jewish members of the community, etc. Sure seems more like these protestors don't like the actions of the Israeli government and oppose what they see as the oppression and ongoing extermination of Palestinians in Gaza.
But that's slightly harder to engage with than just saying they love terrorism and hate Jews (despite Jewish students clearly being among the protestors).

What the **** do you think "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" means?!
It's a phrase used by Hamas calling for the extermination of Jews.

It wasn't at all an uncommon opinion nationally in the immediate aftermath. But among the boomers whose peers were in the protests it was seen very differently and that's how history remembers it now that the boomers' parents and grandparents are all gone.

Racism is always wrong regardless of who perpetuates it. These rallies are in support of the extermination of Israeli Jews
The people in the protest can't name the river or the sea, but know all them Jews gotta go! If that means the death of Zionist Colonialist scum so be it! This isn't only about Palestine. This is about ALL THE THINGS I'M TOLD TO BE MAD ABOUT!

Leftists are finding out now that you can't criticize anything Jews do or else you get a club to the head. Protest whites all you want and burn down half the city and politicians won't care but protest Israel? Well it's to prison for you.
And the thing is I think all of these protestors are idiots and I despise all of them, but it's very obvious why they are cracking down this hard and didn't do the same thing for the BLM protests.
Actual Talking Thermos said:I'm just in awe of how completely the mainline politicians on both sides of the aisle have decided to go with the line that anti-Israel or anti-Zionist sentiment, even when expressed by Jewish individuals, is per se vile anti-semitism and nothing more or less.

These protesters belong in jail.
Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period.
Students joining in hate-filled, antisemitic protests at any public college or university in Texas should be expelled. https://t.co/XhLlQdvUl0
The police response is clearly politically motivated. Greg Abbott just told us why he sent them.
Meanwhile the conservatives who have been hand-wringing and pearl-clutching for years about "free speech on campus" are hooting and hollering their approval.

Come show your support for Palestine in Rudder Plaza today from 4-7pm! We will be making posters starting at four, then marching across campus. We must show A&M that we are active, we will not be ignored, and we will fight for the freedom of Palestine! #TAMU pic.twitter.com/k97RO7oKzN
A&M had their protest first actually, but it was put on by the YDSA chapter, who are an extremely small group, and went on per A&M guidelines and started and ended without incident or anyone giving a crap.
Because the group that would be interested in this cause at A&M is much smaller than at tu, it just didn't get noticed at all.

Were they doing more than protesting (vs rioting or violence or obstruction) on public university lands? As much as I dislike it, as long as they are only peacefully protesting and not doing the mentioned above, wouldn't they be protected by the first amendment? Would we be applauding the actions of the protest if it was a pro Israel one and would we be upset if the cops were to beat up pro Israel protestors in this situation?

I can remember going to tu campus for Boys State in '70. Hippies protested us. Told us, since we were leaders of schools, to go home and enlighten. our student bodies. They were real entertaining.
How about kids who just want to go to class and learn something and they are blocked from doing so, or are afraid to attend. do they have rights? Or only these Marxists are ones with rights?
Kind of like liberals who took over our public schools, and turds who interrupt classes are treated lwith kid gloves, because liberals say they are too poor , too black, too queer to sit down and learn something.
LOL, get rid of the selfish ones and all of the sudden, public schools become great again.

Weird how they moved their protests to the jail and someone (in reality, a Soros funded NGO) bought several days worth of food and supplies for the students.
The signs are there - you are just seeing one small segment of the entire event. The screams of antisemitism are there. They just aren't chanted. These are bougie terrorists.
