Would you recommend your child go to school at a Palestinian University and start protesting for pro-Israel causes?

This student is getting handled with kid gloves.
Crazy, right?

SOS, I have no doubt that you THINK you are properly and accurately portraying my positions on various issues, but you are just not very bright.
On every point that you raise, you are misstating and/or mischaracterizing what I have said/written. In general, it is just not worth the bandwidth to try and correct you on each point, because you lack the cerebral horsepower to understand the differences. Hell, I have TRIED to do so in the past on most of these issues, and you continue to cling to your delusions regarding my positions.
So I am NOT going to correct every stupid mischaracterization that you make, in every damned thread where you type it.
But, just to shut you the Hell up, I will address ONE for you.
Minimum security prisons. I SAID that governments have a duty to the taxpayer to handle incarceration in a cost-effective manner. Child molesters are (overwhelmingly) a VERY low risk for attempted escape, so it is cost-effective to imprison them in a lower security environment ... which eats about 1/5 (as I recall) the tax money of a maximum security imprisonment of the same inmate. I am very much a "limited government" advocate, and if government can accomplish the same task (imprisoning inmate "X" for "Y" number of years) for 1/5 the cost, that government DAMN WELL better do so.
YOU (with your limited intellect) have reduced that cost-benefit analysis to "Hank is soft on child molesters."

Is there evidence that Mahmoud Khalil did these things or only accusations? And if there is evidence or even accusations of these crimes, can you post a link? (any link will do) I'd like to read about it. I have yet to even see a list of accusations against this guy. Please don't take offense, but your accusations don't count.
And speaking of "criminal". To your knowledge, have any of these students or Columbia University on behalf of itself or these students filed criminal charges against Mahmoud Khalil?
These are not unfair queries.

You're absolutely correct. All we can go by is what we know which is he has been arrested by ICE. Let's see how it plays out.

I wasn't even meaning any conspiracy.
So many NPCs on the right have truly consumed this terrible argument that criticizing pro-Israel people (including Jewish people who are pro-Israel) is somehow antisemitic that it effectively shields any negative discussion of Israel, and I saw this as a person who supports Israel over "Palestine", generally.

Ah, but your silly NPC argument would apply here, and it would be "threatening a group due to their religion".
See how stupid NPC talking points from the echo chamber are?

You do understand that the Palestinians saying " from the river to the sea" implies the extermination of the Jewish people.

You're spinning the spin and just making the argument worse.
Responding to anti-Israel protestors =/= " threatening a group due to their religion", and repeating it 1M times in the echo chamber doesn't change that.
The main reason why is that Israel is not blameless and they have their own laundry list of fricked up shite to criticize them over that makes the response justified.
From the same perspective, criticizing them for their role in the Epstein saga makes the response justified.

Wasn't trying to spin anything. You mentioned the release of the Epstein files and I just made the statement that people from both political parties would be screwed if they are released.

It does not. *ETA: it theoretically can for the polar outliers, but you don't want to focus just there.
And, again, while I support Israel over the Palestinians, Israel is currently engaged in ethnic cleansing of Gaza after their apartheid state failed.
