[OAITW r.2.0]

1. Was it coordinated? By who?

That would explain a lot.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

2. news said that people are seeing the same green tents everywhere..."who is buying those tents?"

[OAITW r.2.0]

4. That's a clue. I hope there are people investigating these "spontaneous" protests.

[LeftInTX]

8. The Columbia group bulk ordered their tents quite awhile back.

They were planning an occupation for quite awhile. So, they decided to bulk order a bunch of tents.
They decided to set up the day their president testified at the Capitol for maximum publicity.

3. Highly organized and very well funded.

We can guess, the usual suspects.

[OAITW r.2.0]

5. I'd really like to know the dots that connect "the usual suspects".

Facts and names are needed.

[ecstatic]

6. Is there a way to find out the initial flyers or facebook groups associated with organizing

the event?

[OAITW r.2.0]

7. I believe it's called investigative reporting.

These details usually get vacuumed up and then fit into the picture.

[Irish_Dem]

9. Use critical thinking skills.

Who benefits and how?

Who has the money and organizational skills?
Who can deploy this operation quickly?
Who wishes to break the Dem party in two?
Who wishes to damage Biden?
Who wishes to make democracy look weak?

Develop a short list of suspects, rank order them based on probability.

Boots on the ground can find out easily who is organizing and funding this.

15. I'm still waiting for the payoffs that I was promised in the late 60's, early 70s.

The hawks used the same "payoff", "funding:, B.S, back then when the slaughter was taking place in Asia.

Wanna stop the protests? Stop the war.

[David__77]

19. It's pretty silly. At least some people are capable of organizing without a paycheck.

I understand that that may be hard to fathom.

12. +1

[TBF]

10. SJP - founded at Berkeley in 1993 may be loosely organizing

they have kind of a primitive website - but kids tend to talk on apps anyway - snapchat, etc (https://nationalsjp.org/about)

On over 200 campuses so they are all over. The real question would be who is funding.

[Doc Sportello]

11. Who, who is behind these un-American acts of peacefully protesting?

It's the Communists I tell you. Or antifa. Maybe the Black Panthers too.

Good grief. This sounds like what the right wingers did to the Vietnam protestors. Were the civil rights protests of the 60s "funded" by some nefarious "outsiders"? Maybe MLK was a secret agent of some global cabal. Oh, there are TENTS, TENTS I tell you. That could be people are coordinating on the internet. Young people do that you know. The speculating on some grand conspiracy by these college students and their "secret handlers" is just ridiculous. No better than the Q anon types. Sorry, green tents do not show some great conspiracy.

13. Young wolves, show us your teeth. John Steinbeck

[JI7]

14. The anti Jewish/ Israel movement has been a thing for a long time now

[Ping Tung]

16. So has the anti-Muslim/anti Palestine movement.

[LeftInTX]

18. On college campuses?????

Heck even after 911, tons of support for Muslims on college campuses.

Outside of universities, it's different.

The last 25 years on college campuses have had lots of Muslim influence. In 2015, my son was a minority. He's Hispanic in a 70% Hispanic town. Most of engineering graduates were Arab or Indian and some from China.

I don't know of huge mass protests against Palestinians on college campuses. Never saw it in the 70's. We had small groups of Palestinian protesters back then. No one protested against them. We had a very large Jewish student population from Chicago too. They didn't harass the Palestinians.

The Jewish students can't even manage to get a group of more than a handful of counter protesters while the pro-Palestinians at UT yesterday had 500. An Israeli student at UT, has a Palestinian professor teaching him history of Israel.

[Big Blue Marble]

17. I am confident that the majority of American college students

are intelligent and sensitive enough to know the difference between
people who are ethnically Jewish and the far-right rogue Israeli
Government who is slaughtering and starving children.

They are asking that our government and our institutions stop
giving the Israeli Governments the means to kill children and
continue the apartheid against the Palestinians.

WHAT ARE THE PROTESTERS DEMANDING?

Across campuses where protests have broken out, students have issued calls for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, an end to U.S. military assistance for Israel, university divestment from arms suppliers and other companies profiting from the war, and an amnesty for students and faculty members who have been disciplined or fired for protesting.

WHO ARE THE PROTESTERS?

Pro-Palestinian protests have drawn students and faculty of various backgrounds, including of Jewish and Muslim faiths. The groups organizing the protests include Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace.
The encampments have also attracted a diverse array of teach-ins, interfaith prayers, and musical performances.

Organizers have widely disavowed violence against pro-Israel counter-protesters, although some Jewish students have said they feel unsafe on campus and unnerved by chants they say are antisemitic.
