DAFT DEMANDS: Pro-Palestinian protesters whine as cops shut them down

Article content

NYPD officers finally shut down protesters at Columbia University after weeks of unrest, while cops began to work their way through demonstrators at UCLA.

The encampments on campuses there and others across the U.S. have disrupted more than they have accomplished, but that’s not going to stop many from fighting what they believe is the good fight.

It’s unknown if many of them have thought things all the way through, particularly as arrests, expulsions and suspensions have taken place.

There have also been some absurd moments over the last few weeks, so nonsensical and laughable if they also weren’t so outrageous.

DON’T FEED THE ANIMALS

Before police removed barricades and began dismantling anti-Israeli demonstrators’ fortified encampment on Thursday after hundreds of protesters defied orders to leave, the group had the nerve to pass along a list of demands.

Some items — from zip ties and gas masks, helmets and shields, elbow and knee pads — appeared to be their way of gearing up for battle, but there were some other “urgent” requests that seemed … out of place.

The Google doc obtained by Fox News shows the need for hot food, particularly vegan and gluten-free, but made sure to point out packaged food, coffee, bagels, bananas and nuts were no-nos.

The campers were also banned from using sunscreen, but lotion was okay, and also requested gloves of all sizes but preferably “without reinforced knuckles” and pairs that fit “small hands.”

BIG DREAMS

An activist from the group “Fatties 4 Palestine” was on the campus of UMass Amherst where she joined forces with an LGBTQ+ man wearing a Black Lives Matters T-shirt and Arabic garb (that one person on social described as being from the set of Aladdin) to urge people to boycott Israel and join campus protests.

Pro-Palestinian protesters there took down their tents after two days, WMassNews.com reported, but the demonstrations remain. Baby steps.

STRING ALONG

In keeping with the recent water bottle/rainbow-striped umbrella prayer ritual, another display of solidarity showed students at Columbia University performing an entangling interpretive dance featuring red strings, while soccer and yoga also took place.

The dance took place last month on Earth Day, as supporters held signs that read “Decolonize Decarbonize.”

CAITLYN CALLS IT AS SHE SEES IT

Meanwhile, Caitlyn Jenner was blasted for suggested campus protesters be deported, but the former reality star doubled down on her comments about the “grossly uninformed morons.”

“LGBT (or not, but esp LGBT rioters perplex me) Hamas Supporters?!,” she addressed haters on X.

“I say let’s send them to the places they have so much love for. Go to Gaza. Go to Iran. Go to Iraq. You’ll be ruled by Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS-K, the IRGC, etc.”

Jenner concluded: “Let me know how that goes…oh wait…”
