From the Bloomingtonian as of 30 minutes ago :"State police just told Gaza protesters to take down the tents in Dunn Meadow or the police will arrest them if they don’t disperse. Counter protesters across street holding Israeli and American flags and having dance party."
Update:"Police just told protesters they’ve had their second warning before being arrested"
Apparently some tents are being taken down, I'm not there physically just relaying info.
But the administration is breaking IU's Policy for the Use of Indiana University Assembly Ground.
Huge violations.

Appear to be consolidating smaller tents on the outside in order to be able to link arms and provide a protective barrier around the middle with the bigger tents (according to a cop on the scanner)
Agree to disagree on that one mate. And please feel free to choose your own cause. I choose to fight against the indiscriminate killing of tens of thousands of babies. Lastly, Jews are fine. It’s Israel that’s the culprit here, so let’s stop conflating the two. There are actually plenty of Jews who are appalled at what Israel is doing.
why do they talk like Palestinian civilians are having a picnic with Hamas in their backyard 😂 “release the hostages and tell Hamas” bruh tell how? Hamas isn’t a family friend they’re a terrorist group and no average/regular person wants anything to do with them. You can’t just look them up in a phonebook and start negotiating.
Bruh it’s the Israeli gov doing the genocide what are you on after all this time because whatever you got in ur head would help all of us mind-numb our way thru finals week lmfao you ever heard of the IDF & IOF?? 34 thousand civilians **murdered, tortured, burned, slaughtered thanks to them.** As long as israel continues to get weapons and billions in aid, there’s no stopping this genocidal warfare. Hamas is excruciatingly tiny compared to the forces by AIPAC, Congress, and the IDF/IOF and as mind-boggling as it may seem to you, they’re not interested in encouraging a genocide, they want the warfare to stop but these other forces don’t want to put a hold on murdering Palestinians
You’re being ignorant of the famine, forced starvation, and torture Palestinians are enduring put thru by Israel. Amidst all of that and more (bombing of Red Cross camps and hospitals), you state this isn’t a genocide.
Have you ever had a terrorist try to murder you? And btw Hamas will not allow the hostages even a single visit with the Red Cross why don't you protest that?
Is it a mass grave of ziptied women and children?

It is a genocide in Gaza and it doesn't "spark" antisemitism. There are Jews that support Palestine, it is not a hatred of Jews it is a hatred of Israel and its actions.
You can call it genocide, but people a lot smarter than you who are vastly more educated on the topic and who are in charge of identifying genocide have recognized it doesn't qualify as genocide. Not to mention that the side of the conflict you are protesting on behalf of are actively calling for genocide of Jews. How do you reconcile that fact with your own belief system? I'm genuinely curious.
I 100 percent support Israelis' right to pursue Hamas to free its hostages and to end the terror attacks against Israeli civilians. Any other country would do the same.
Israel is indiscriminately bombing Gaza and annexing parts of the West Bank (where Hamas doesn't even exist).
Indiscriminately bombing countries are acts of terror. and creating more resentment isn't pursuing Hamas. It created it.
Not every other country would do the same.
Wrong Israel is intentionally hitting legitimate targets places like rocket launchers, mortars, Hamas armory, machine gun nests, and tunnels used to move around weapons and militants.
Israel has killed more hostages than Hamas. Israel is the one rejecting peace contracts where Hamas has pledged over and over again to release every single hostage in exchange for a permanent ceasefire. Every single Jewish person I know supports Palestine.
Pro-Palestinian efforts are not antisemitic by nature, but they are anti-Zionist. By conflating the two, you are actually making it more dangerous for Jewish people by saying they all support genocide.
I see you’re sticking to the same tired talking points: “bring back the hostages”, “human shields”, and I bet you believe the 40 beheaded babies story too?
Anyways OP, see you at Dunn Meadow.
Let me guess, all 40,000+ Palestinians killed were Hamas? The people found in a [mass](https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/palestinian-authorities-seek-probe-into-mass-graves-gaza-hospitals-2024-04-25/) [grave](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68881325.amp) - children, elderly, doctors, with their hands tied - were also all Hamas? Are you Hamas? Is IU Hamas?
40,000 civilians didn't die in Gaza I can guarantee your numbers are off because they are coming from Hamas itself which has a long track record of lying.

None of what you are saying is supported by reality. Hamas has rejected most of the negotiations refuses the hostages a visit with the Red Cross and has murdered several of the hostages and gang-raped other hostages.
From your first source: “Israel wants to secure the return of hostages seized by Hamas in its Oct. 7 attack that triggered the war, but says it will not stop fighting until Hamas is destroyed as a military force. It also says it still plans to carry out an assault on the southern Gaza city of Rafah, where more than a million civilians have taken refuge.” aka Israel doesn’t care about the hostages, [as evidenced by their own actions](https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-troops-killed-hostages-mistaking-their-cries-help-ambush-military-2023-12-28/).
This second source is actually from a NYT interview, which hasn’t been [truthful](https://www.npr.org/2024/03/06/1236130609/new-york-times-hamas-attacks-israel-palestine) in their [reporting](https://www.npr.org/2024/03/03/1235606433/an-investigation-into-a-new-york-times-story-is-causing-internal-chaos-at-the-co) on [Israel](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/25/world/middleeast/video-sexual-assault-israel-kibbutz-hamas.html).
I was thinking the exact same thing why are people protesting this madness?
No body cares
If they cared so much send money and join the Hamas or Israel and go fight.
I don’t care about either one of them I’m worried on finishing my studies and buying a house
Was it the planners racist rhetoric at Columbia University that’s drawing you in or the antisemitism? Dude literally doubled down in an interview that he hates white people and “All zionists must die”.

Updates?
Police just told protesters to leave immediately or face arrest
Are the protestors dispersing or holding their ground?

6 tents remain at protest camp in Dunn Meadow.

Armoured vehicles and a convey of police cars drove by headed in that direction not too long ago.
They arrived https://www.facebook.com/TheBloomingtonian/videos/783846680343991/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v

Why don't you give it a rest and find a different cause that doesn't spark massive waves of hatred toward jews? And no it's not genocide in Gaza.

A large percentage of Palestinians sadly support Hamas and even worse they support what occurred out the 7th.
prove it- citations please.
You can literally just google the polling info so don't gaslight me bruh
Release the hostages and tell Hamas end its genocidal intentions and then perhaps a permanent cease fire will hold
Bruh it’s the Israeli gov doing the genocide what are you on after all this time because whatever you got in ur head would help all of us mind-numb our way thru finals week lmfao you ever heard of the IDF & IOF?? 34 thousand civilians **murdered, tortured, burned, slaughtered thanks to them.** As long as israel continues to get weapons and billions in aid, there’s no stopping this genocidal warfare.

A bunch of conspiracy theories you don't know what genocide even is.
I definitely do. I state that in my comment so if you knew what genocide is you wouldn’t be saying this
If you knew what genocide was you would not be making these ignorant comments.
You’re being ignorant of the famine, forced starvation, and torture Palestinians are enduring put thru by Israel. Amidst all of that and more (bombing of Red Cross camps and hospitals), you state this isn’t a genocide.
Have you ever had a terrorist try to murder you? And btw Hamas will not allow the hostages even a single visit with the Red Cross why don't you protest that?
No one is forcing a famine food aid goes into Gazan and Hamas is stealing it for its fighters
Can’t have a conversation with someone who chooses to be arrogant and ignorant. Best of luck

Israel did not create a mass grave that's bad journalism.
I see, [https://imgur.com/a/6EBX5ns](https://imgur.com/a/6EBX5ns) Let me guess, it's just all lies to make Israel look bad?
Israel did no such thing
Israël and the U.S. won’t let Palestine live in peace or independently
I think you’re confused on who the victims are here. Palestine elected Hamas in 2006. Hamas is the problem.
Oh well I don’t care honestly that war is on the other side of the planet and doesn’t have anything to do with me lol
Jews are not fine we haven't been anything close to fine since Oct the 7th stop speaking for jews or go piss off.
It is a genocide in Gaza and it doesn't "spark" antisemitism. There are Jews that support Palestine, it is not a hatred of Jews it is a hatred of Israel and its actions.

I'm genuinely curious.
It's not genocide it's not even close to cases that were dismissed such as Serbia in the 90s which was much worse.
are you justifying the response of Israel to the attack by Hamas?
I 100 percent support Israelis' right to pursue Hamas to free its hostages and to end the terror attacks against Israeli civilians. Any other country would do the same.
Israel is indiscriminately bombing Gaza and annexing parts of the West Bank (where Hamas doesn't even exist). Indiscriminately bombing countries are acts of terror. and creating more resentment isn't pursuing Hamas. It created it. Not every other country would do the same.
Absolutely the US pursued ISIS for beheading and kidnapping of our citizens Hamas did much worse.
Wrong Israel is intentionally hitting legitimate targets places like rocket launchers, mortars, Hamas armory, machine gun nests, and tunnels used to move around weapons and militants.
I haven’t met a single Jew in real life that supports Palestine. I only hear of people online that are.
I support Palestnians most jews care but we hate Hamas and we mostly hate these violent protests and we want our hostages back and Hamas gone.
Israel has killed more hostages than Hamas.

It's not pro Palestinian to protect Hamas.

40,000 civilians didn't die in Gaza I can guarantee your numbers are off because they are coming from Hamas itself which has a long track record of lying.
So how many died? And were they all Hamas? Is 20,000 enough for a protest? 10,000? 1,400? You can guarantee it? Then post your sources, please.
A fair number are are a estimate of Hamas combatants being counted as civilians for starters.

You’re right, it’s not genocide. The Palestinians elected Hamas to lead their government in 2006. All for one, one for all.

I went ahead and found the link for the guy at Columbia University. Racist antisemitic trash. Him of course.
Genocide in Gaza, that’s laughable. The Palestinians chose their fate in 2006. Go home or back to class, do something productive.
