> For many hundreds of years
Oldest Palestinian dynasties are from around 18th century. Notice that calling them Palestinian is a stretch since they rarely had a unified identity as a people.
Jews started coming back to Israel en-mass in the 19th century, well before the British arrived. They bought land and at its peek owned a significant amount of land privately.
> which was almost 100% Arab
This is very false. If it was true Israel would have lost its independence war in which not only the Palestinians but also the surrounding countries attacked. Furthermore, notice that those Arab countries didn't give the Palestinians a country despite holding the west bank and Gaza. Neither did the Muslim Ottoman empire.

Many were locked out. Many spoke of fear to come to classes. Half the people in the encampment in NY weren't even students there. Professional agitators from outside the campus were guiding the students on maximizing their impact.
E.g. https://nypost.com/2024/05/01/us-news/professional-protester-lisa-fithians-past-ties-to-anti-israel-work/ https://nypost.com/2024/05/01/us-news/professional-protester...
Here's a professor talking about violence and intimidation towards Jews on campus: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/education/2988097/ucla-professor-blasts-anti-israel-protesters-as-police-start-clean-encampment-never-peaceful/ https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/education/2988097/...
There are quite a lot of these testimonials but they don't appear as prominently in the US media as they do on Israeli media where people feel more comfortable to speak out. There's claims that "Students for Justice for Palestine" are really cover organizations for terrorists just like BDS. There's a lawsuit of Oct 7th victims aimed to unmask them.
> Yosef Hadad isn't a student. He's a professional pro-Israel campaigner who went to campus, started yelling in the faces of protesters, and then got shoved by one of them.
So that's OK? He's a Muslim who came to help break people out of their distorted reactionary mold and got attacked.
> On the other hand, there have been plenty of assaults on pro-Palestinian students.
See how that starts?
See why these things are useless. Everyone plays the victim here. Palestinians have been playing the victim for a century. It made some sense in the past. But hasn't made any sense since the 90's. Right now they need to grow up and settle. Hamas is keeping a redundant conflict going because it refuses to accept the right of Israel to exist. It's delusional and you're part of the reason it keeps going.
- racional 2y agoMany were locked out. Who? You've yet to provide examples of people barred from the campus for reasons other than specific, well-documented charges against them (in the case of Davidai, of stalking and harassing other students. And then he wasn't even barred from the campus per so, but simply from the West Lawn).
- invalidname 2y agoHere are four lecturers talking about being barred (as well as many students): https://www.ynet.co.il/news/article/yokra13903890 https://www.ynet.co.il/news/article/yokra13903890 None of them are Davidai and all of them look very dangerous (sarcasm). I've read what Davidai wrote and the claims that he's harassing seem ridiculous. He's trying to fight harassment from people who literally support terrorism and are hurting both sides of the conflict. NYU president Linda Mills said she received threats and even bomb threats: https://nyunews.com/news/2024/05/03/mills-email-paulson-center-arrests/ https://nyunews.com/news/2024/05/03/mills-email-paulson-cent... But US press doesn't write many of these stories because it doesn't fit the narrative of the publishers. Here's a Stanford student dressed as a Hamas terrorist just for the general picture: https://ynet-pic1.yit.co.il/cdn-cgi/image/f=auto,w=740,q=75/picserver5/crop_images/2024/05/03/ryIVsaffA/ryIVsaffA_0_48_1033_582_0_x-large.jpg https://ynet-pic1.yit.co.il/cdn-cgi/image/f=auto,w=740,q=75/...
- racional 2y agoHere are four lecturers talking about being barred That's not what the article says. Of the 4 academics, 1 of them (Hoftman) spoke of being assaulted after approaching the protests (just as protesters have been assaulted by folks from the pro-Israel side). Not of being "barred from entry" into the campus per your description: But also look at Israelis who want to enter the universities and can't. So far you are unable to substantiate this claim. But US press doesn't write many of these stories because it doesn't fit the narrative of the publishers. Of course it does - the Hoftman story was all over Fox News for example. It's viewers love to gobble up stories like these.
