Funny how this sequence unfolded, eh?

LINK

"Billionaire hedge fund founder and Columbia University graduate Leon Cooperman said Wednesday he would no longer donate to the Ivy League school after students held protests critical of Israel during its war with militant group Hamas—marking the latest billionaire to denounce student demonstrations and withhold donations over it."

"Cooperman criticized the pro-Palestinian protests held by Columbia students while speaking on Fox Business’s The Claman Countdown on Wednesday, saying he thinks college students “have sh** for brains.”"

1. Columbia students and Prof. (Joseph Massad) slam Israel.
2. Billionaire Columbia donor (Leon Cooperman) objects and pulls funding.
3. Pro-Palestine Columbia students get shut down.

Pro-Palerstian folks will claim it's just a coincidence.





What you'll rarely see from the MSM >> "There is currently a student-started petition circulating calling for Massad’s firing from Columbia that has garnered more than 59,000 signatures."

No one complained when these students and faculty stood up for all that was Marxist and shouted down any conservative on campus. Now they have turned on their Jewish overlords something must be done!

Yep… that’s how you get anything done at a university. Want to move mountains? Put a clamp on the money.

Yep. Leon was apparently fine with his money supporting every prog idea calling for the destruction of Western Civilization's foundations, but this was apparently the straw that broke the camel's back.

He’s comfortable with an anti White agenda that damages Western society, but not Muslim protests against Israel.

Cities can simmer these protests by enforcing/making laws that prevent wearing masks in public while protesting/rioting.

Cops given quick processing kits where they stop them and make them remove the mask and give them a ticket which is public record. If caught again then they get arrested. Do this to a few of the those rich/scholarship white girls covered up with sunglasses and it'll thin the herd.

People in masks are the ones that are quicker to cross lines.

People with names like Cooperman have been the biggest proponents for 3rd World immigration to the West.

It's not working out so well. Maybe their problem isn't white Christians.

He is one of many. Donors to Univeristy of Penn are sending in a check for $1. These are people who usually give millions.

Well, it’s about power, and on some level a dislike of Western civilization, you couldn’t do this to something you liked, let alone loved.

And these were our countries and our societies, a civilization that we had built, if you wanted to gain power, it would be at our expense.

He’s not wrong but the school has been producing these fricking idiots while he has been handing out checks to them.

This one doesn't seem like such a mystery to me.

These billionaires who are cutting off universities are Jewish. It's not just bullshite theoretical politics this time, it's personal for them.

I get that some Jews don't identify with Israel, but a lot of them do, and a lot of the ones who do have relatives who remember the Holocaust. The Cooperman family in particular hails from Poland.

I was very interested to read a biography of Ronald Reagan several years ago because apparently he was a Democrat while working as an actor and actually attempted to join the Communist Party, which he later came to despise as the president of the Screen Actor's Guild. So he toppled the USSR and changed the whole world with a resolve that started in Hollywood in the 30s and 40s from his personal experience in the SAG.

The point being, when it gets personal, it starts being Fo Realz.

I won't hold my breath waiting for this to affect his (and others) actions with respect to other progressive attitudes though.

Absolutely not. He's a billionaire. However far the country drifts toward socialism, it wont' affect him.

It would have to affect him to the degree that the state would have to be getting ready to confiscate his money to redistribute before it would affect him.

The same happened with Shapiro and Levin. They never got half so upset about anything that happened to America, only their beloved homeland.
