‘Gonna shoot up’: Cornell University’s Jewish students on lockdown
‘Gonna shoot up’: Cornell University’s Jewish students on lockdown
Zoe Bernstein, the president of the group 'Cornellians For Israel', told the Jerusalem Post about the increasingly hostile campus environment leading up to the threat.
Cornell has a bad history of poor mental health. They have a super diverse set of students. And as much as any Ivy League, they have those generational admissions who are just angry white kids spoiled rotten by brilliant or wealthy parents. I'd take any threat at Cornell seriously, even though this reads as trolling, the far right will take advantage of any and every crisis to post hateful things.
30This sounds like Andy's character in the USA version of 'The Office' show.
6It's like in 2020 people showing their garage door spray painted with "ANTIFA" and "Joe Biden Rulez BLM" or something, it's such a classic move to claim pro-Palestinians as antisemitic that it's cliche. Though you're right that it's not impossible to be a legitimate threat so it's good to be careful.
6Omg right! Hundreds of those fucking false flag incidents or whatever they're called, over the last few years.

Why not just let the Jewish folks shoot the propagandists in the fucking head? It seems reasonable to me. Just the same as the Muslim folks should be shooting the propagandists in the fucking head.

Get fucked. Israelis say it too.
Bet you five bucks the online threats are made by far-right anti-Semite’s capitalizing on the fabric of hate.
-9I've never heard an Israeli say that in my life. I've lived in Israel for years.

college kids collective intelligence has reached a new low
-19It's not collective intelligence, it's a couple of idiots. You don't know they also attend. Grouping "college kids" together is stupid since they are there to educate themselves in the first place, something you could do with.
26no, kids are idiots. it's exactly what college-age folks would do. might even be a student at Cornell

They should send them somewhere to learn?

Make no mistake, this is the result of the frenzy being whipped up by politicians all around the world. Those who call for a "ceasefire" after a terror attack and hostage taking and those who suggest blame lies with both sides are radicalizing people.
-22Really? Antisemitism just sprung out of nowhere a couple weeks ago? And Israel hasn't killed thousands of Palestinians for decades? What does the initial attack have to do with the ceasefire now? After 9/11, the US didn't just carpet bomb the entire country of Afghanistan. Israel is engaging in collective punishment, killing nearly 8000 people already. Gaza is small and dense, there is no where for the people to leave. Calling for a ceasefire is the only humane thing to do.
10Israel isn't carpet bombing anywhere, I don't know what false information you're consuming but the reality is that Israel performs specific, highly targeted strikes in Gaza. Unfortunately civilians die in war, that's a sad part of every conflict. Israel has given instructions to prevent Palestinian civilians from being caught up in their strikes, and Israel actually cares more about Palestinian civilians than Hamas. Hamas wouldn't use civilians as human shields and operate out of hospitals and schools if they cared about civilian casualties.

Leftists are calling for a ceasefire, yeah. Feel radicalized? That means you moved to the 'radical left'. 'Extremists' are the far right, and they mostly want Israel to do more genocide, yeah.
