@ComedyStoreLJ I just noticed that online sales are sold out for Saturday's 7:00 show with @rafinhabastos. My kiddo is home for spring break and we'd love to go -- the kid recently turned 21. Any chance there's space for two more tickets?! 🤞
Having studied in the classrooms of Columbia University, I've always valued the institution's dedication to intellectual diversity and open discourse. However, the recent events unfolding on campus, with anti-Israel, terrorist-supporting protests and inflammatory rhetoric, are deeply troubling. As an alumna, I believe it's crucial for @columbia to uphold its principles of inclusivity of thought while safeguarding the rights of all students, including those of Jewish descent. Columbia has stopped receiving donations from many alumni, including me, since they failed to stop the student body from passing a BDS resolution. They will continue to not receive a penny from me in donations until this antisemitism problem is cleaned up. Furthermore, I will continue to use my social media platform to expose their failures and demand action. It's imperative for the university administration to start taking definitive steps to address and condemn any form of discrimination or hostility targeting Jewish students. Call in the National Guard. Stop taking money from foreign bad actors. Fire terrorist sympathizers on staff. Expel students who break the law. These are all adults. And they must be held accountable.
Good! @StateDeptSpox puts Palestinian journalist @SMArikat from 'Al-Quds' in his place. Arikat tried to justify Oct 7 massacre by Hamas on Israel, as well as what happened in Gaza the other day.
US State Dept Spokesman responded:
"You continue to kind of just elide over the fact that Hamas bears a great deal of responsibility for putting those children in harm’s way. Remember, it was Hamas that launched this war in the first place with an attack on Israel that killed men, women and children, and that Hamas - that hid and continues to hide behind children as human shields ... [and] nothing that happened before October 7 justifies what Hamas did on that day. And it is what Hamas did on that day that led to the outbreak of this war and led to the suffering of so many innocent Palestinians."
No surprise - U.S. spy agencies assess that Islamist group Hamas and another Palestinian group fighting Israel used Gaza's Al Shifa Hospital to command forces and hold some hostages but largely evacuated the complex days before Israeli troops entered it. https://t.co/U0An1lHDYV
US Secretary of State Blinken: "What is striking to me is that even as we hear many countries urging an end to this conflict, I hear virtually no one demanding of Hamas that it stop hiding behind civilians, that it lay down its arms, that it surrender. This is over tomorrow if Hamas does that.
How can it be that there are no demands made of the aggressor, and only demands made of the victim. It would be good if there was a strong international voice pressing Hamas to do what is necessary to end this."
@BBCWorld Shame on those students for this incredibly ignorant, damning, and hateful act. Please take strong decisive action by expelling them @gwucolumbian
