In reply to the discussion: Last night Butler Lawn, Columbia University: "We have Zionists who have entered the camp" [View all]

(2,700 posts)112. There are jews in the camp, so they are not excluded based on ethnicity...
Do they have to let in every Jewish person? My example was just a hypothetical showing they may want to keep certain people out who do not share the beliefs of the protest.
Columbia did not sanction the camp, but it is also excluding people like Shai Davidai, who wanted to counter protest inside the camp. In that sense, columbia agrees with me that the two sides should not mingle.
As for an anti woman group, if they did have a protest, it would be safer not to let counter protestors mingle. Seems pretty clear to me.
I really don't understand why you think it would be strange for a group of protestors to exclude people who don't agree with their protest from the camp. I mean, I'm pretty sure a pro-israel protest would be better off not allowing pro-palestinians to mingle. Columbia has areas for counter protest, for safety reasons.

It was drawn up in late 1947, but not put into place until 1948. That's why it's called the 1948 Partition.

There is no "tacit agreement" between the Columbia University and the encampment trespassers.

That is certainly ugly. While I think students have the right to protest - I'm not sure what their right to privacy is.
