It is possible to (1) deplore how Columbia University's administration is reacting to the on-campus protests and (2) also think it is very bad that a bunch of ghoulish, antisemitic opportunists have taken it upon themselves to hang out just off-campus, harassing Jewish students and celebrating 10/7.

We can embrace the 'and' here.

Agree one can criticize Columbia’s (and Israel’s) tactical choices, but even the student protesters are supporting the elimination of Israel and excusing the rape, kidnapping, and murder of Jewish people. Is what they’re supporting “peace”? How are Jewish students supposed to react to just that?

Agreed, would add 3) Deplore the (willful?) conflation of the peaceful Columbia protesters with off-campus provocateurs as well as the (willful?) conflation of opposition to Israeli policies with anti-Semitism & 4) Ignore the perhaps less widespread but equally abhorrent expressions of Islamophobia.

RIP to your mentions

It’s also possible to observe the admin created conditions to draw in all of America’s greatest bigot hits, so that if there was a minimal actual threat now there’s going to be a massive one. The president painted a target on herself and the students with her incompetence.

Yes, and it's incumbent upon the peaceful protesters to vociferously repudiate the antisemitic ghouls.

I'm noticing a lot of very confident and very wrong people in these replies who have no profile, no avatar, no banner, no display name. Just saying.

Your aren’t giving them like a performance score, are you? Like “would score them 7 out of 10”? Hope not

Remember that the Jews who were not only harrassed but chemically assaulted with "skunk", a mild chemical weapon, were singled out as Jewish. Their assailants, Israeli ex-soldiers, singled them out because, fundamentally, Likud and even centrist Israeilis hates diasporic liberal Jewish culture.
