It costs around $90,000 a year to attend Columbia University.
The increasingly hideous anti-Semitic behaviour on Columbia's campus - which has seen a violent mob destroy property, harass Jewish students and brandish a banner bearing the word"intifada" - goes way beyond the right to free speech, writes Piers Morgan.Most undergraduates do four years of studying there, which means that if they’re not getting any subsidized grants, their parents are coughing up a total of $360,000 just for their tuition, housing, food and books.
Another of the mob’s banners demanded a “Liberation Education,” which is ironic because these morons are hopefully going to get a harsh lesson in a real-world education on the legal repercussions of committing crimes like trespass, property damage, assault and false imprisonment. I’ve heard a lot of BS spouted since these protests started about how most of the students taking part are entirely peaceful in their intent, etc.For days now, the Columbia demonstrators have been chanting, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!” and “There is only one solution — intifada revolution!”The “From the river to the sea” chant alludes to the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, where, of course, Israel sits.
Whatever your view of the rights and wrongs of any of this, there is one undeniable fact: The Intifadas were violent uprisings.
