[Hot Air] In case you were worried that the antisemites at America's universities had run out of things to protest, fear not. Students at Yale are kicking off a fresh round of accusations and demands. It turns out that a smaller group of students called Law Students for Israel had invited a soldier from the Israeli Defense Force to come address them on campus. The usual suspects from the local chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP)
...the Soros Foundations fund the Tides Foundation, which funds the WESPAC Foundation, which funds SJP...
were immediately up in arms. They took to social media and began plastering the law school with posters demanding the cancellation of the event. They claimed that having such a person anywhere on campus would make them "unsafe." (Free Beacon)
Yale Law School's chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, the group that celebrated the murder of 1,200 Israelis on Oct. 7 and praised the architects of the attack as "martyrs," is calling on the school to cancel an event with a soldier in the Israel Defense Forces, arguing that his presence on campus will make students unsafe.
"We implore the administration to take seriously the implications of this militarization of campus," Yale Law Students for Justice in Palestine wrote in a Feb. 1 Instagram post. "The platforming of an IDF combatant recently returned from Israel's atrocities in Gaza makes many of us—especially Palestinian Arab, Muslim, Black, and brown students—feel physically and psychologically unsafe and unwelcome in our own school."
This crew seriously sounds like a collection of snowflakes. I could not find an exact figure for the total membership of SJP at Yale, but they have hundreds of followers on their Facebook page. We're talking about one soldier here. And I seriously doubt they let him bring his rifle or any grenades or anything on the plane with him. Are you seriously telling me that you couldn't handle one guy? And that he makes you feel "unsafe?"

(a) What about LGBTQ students?

[GEO.TV] Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif ...served two three non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf, then by the courts... has said that the country needs a healing touch and he will ensure to mend and undo damages caused to the nation at all levels if elected by the people during the February 8 general elections.
In an interview with Geo News, the three-time former prime minister said his unceremonious removals through "conspiracies" had caused serious damage to Pakistain economically, politically and socially.
"Pakistain needs a healing touch. Pakistain needs hope and unity to start a new chapter to control the damage and to build the nation as a strong and meaningful entity."
This was Nawaz's last interview on the day he addressed a large and enthusiastic crowd in a town in Kasur, around 60 minutes away from the Jati Umra estate where Sharif lives with his daughter Maryam Nawaz Sharif.
Several recent surveys have put Nawaz Sharif’s party ahead of his rivals including Imran Khan ...aka The Great Khan, who ain't the brightest knife in the national drawer... ’s PTI and Bilawal Bhutto’s PPP. In the last few weeks, Nawaz’s party narrowed the popularity gap and then went ahead in the ratings. He has also been called "the king of comebacks" by the BBC for a popular perception that he is highly likely to become the prime minister of Pakistain for the fourth time.
He said that it was due to "Allah’s blessings that the people [...] acknowledge that we delivered infrastructure development and economic progress during our terms in office and they pose confidence in Pakistain.

[AFRICANEWS] U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken ...71st United States secretary of state and a leading light of the corrupt and inept Biden administration. He previously served as deputy national security advisor from 2013 to 2015 and deputy secretary of state from 2015 to 2017 under the corrupt and inept Obama administration. He advocated for the 2003 invasion of Iraq while serving as the Democratic staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 2002 to 2008. He was a foreign policy advisor for the Biden 2008 presidential campaign. During his tenure in the Obama administration, Blinken helped craft B.O.'s policy on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the nuclear program of Iran. We all saw how well each of those worked. After leaving government service, Blinken moved into the private sector, co-founding WestExec Advisors, a lobbying firm... pressed ahead with a diplomatic tour of the Middle East on Tuesday, meeting Egyptian leaders as part of his efforts to secure a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas ...a regional Iranian catspaw,... war in exchange for the release of hostages.
Blinken's visit also comes amid growing concerns in Egypt about Israel's stated intentions to expand the combat in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... to areas on the Egyptian border that are crammed with displaced Paleostinians.
Israel's defense minister has said Israel's offensive will eventually reach the town of Rafah, on the Egyptian border, where more than half of Gaza's 2.3 million people have sought refuge and are now living in increasingly miserable conditions.
U.N. humanitarian monitors said Tuesday that Israeli evacuation orders now cover two-thirds of Gaza's territory, driving thousands more people every day toward the border areas.
Egypt has warned that an Israeli deployment along the border would threaten the peace treaty the two countries signed over four decades ago. Egypt fears an expansion of combat to the Rafah area could push terrified Paleostinian civilians across the border, a scenario Egypt has said it is determined to prevent.
Blinken, who was meeting Tuesday with Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi in Cairo, has said repeatedly that Paleostinians must not be forced out of Gaza.

Egypt perhaps also fears that the IDF will uncover tunnels between Gaza and Egypt (Egypt denies such tunnels exist).

[GEO.TV] US Secretary of State Antony Blinken ...71st United States secretary of state and a leading light of the corrupt and inept Biden administration.

Heavy strikes and fighting in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... killed at least 99 people overnight, mostly women and kiddies, said the health ministry in the Hamas-ruled territory that has been under almost four months of bombardment.
Fears grew for more than a million Paleostinians crowded into the far southern Rafah area as the battlefront drew ever closer due to Israel's ongoing offensive.
Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant warned on Monday that the military "will reach places where we have not yet fought [...] right up to the last Hamas bastion, which is Rafah", on the Egyptian border.
Blinken — on his fifth regional tour since the bloodiest ever Gaza war broke out — was due to meet Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, a day after he held talks with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ...Crown Prince and modernizer of Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... as of 2016. The Turks hate him, so he must be all right, despite the occasional brutal murder of Qatar-owned journalists... in Riyadh.
The US top envoy was later expected in Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... and then Israel, hoping to shore up support for a truce deal that was hashed out in Gay Paree in January but has not yet been signed off on by either Hamas or Israel.
[GEO.TV] Like many fellow residents of a Paleostinian refugee camp in Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... , Shady Choucair despaired when he heard last week that countries had halted their funding to the UN agency for Paleostinians (UNRWA).
"It's a disaster. We were able to survive off the help we got from UNRWA," he told the Thomson Rooters Foundation in his small grocery store in the Mar Elias refugee camp in Beirut, where he has lived with his family for over a decade.
More than a dozen donor nations including the United States, Germany and Britannia have paused their funding to the aid agency following Israeli government allegations that 12 of UNRWA's 13,000 Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... employees were involved in deadly October 7 attacks by Hamas ...a regional Iranian catspaw,... fighters in southern Israel.
UN officials have said UNRWA aid is a lifeline for Paleostinians in the Gaza Strip as fighting rages between Israel and Hamas fighters.
For the hundreds of thousands of Paleostinian refugees living in crisis-hit Lebanon and Syria, the cuts could also jeopardise the provision of basic services — from schooling to waste management.
UNRWA said last week it will most likely be forced to shut down its operations in the Middle East, including in Gaza, by the end of the month if funding does not resume.
Choucair, who receives UNRWA cash assistance to boost his tiny income from the grocery shop, said he feared he would be unable to pay the rent and buy his medicine for several medical conditions if the money stops.
"You want to do something about it, but you can't. It's out of our hands," said Choucair, who is also worried that the free schooling his nine grandchildren receive could be stopped.

In Lebanon palestinians cannot live outside camps.
Not legally, no. But it came out when ISIS was fighting the PLO — I believe it was in the Beirut camp — that the vast majority of Palestinians had long since quietly moved out and were renting their homes in the camp to Syrian refugees and similar impoverished souls.
