[IsraelTimes] New measures include restrictions on encampments and overnight demonstrations; head of professors groups claims moves constitute ‘repression we haven’t seen since the late 1960s’.
As students return to colleges across the United States, administrators are bracing for a resurgence in activism against Israel over the war in the 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... Strip, and some schools are adopting rules to limit the kind of protests that swept campuses last spring.
While the summer break provided a respite in student demonstrations against the Israel-Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... war, it also gave both student protesters and higher education officials a chance to regroup and strategize for the fall semester.
Some of the new rules imposed by universities include banning encampments, limiting the duration of demonstrations, allowing protests only in designated spaces and restricting campus access to those with university identification. Critics say some of the measures will curtail free speech.
The American Association of University Professors issued a statement Wednesday condemning "overly restrictive policies" that could discourage free expression. Many of the new policies require protesters to register well in advance and strictly limit the locations where gatherings can be held, as well as setting new limits on the use of amplified sound and signage.
The University of Pennsylvania has outlined new "temporary guidelines" for student protests that include bans on encampments, overnight demonstrations, and the use of bullhorns and speakers until after 5 p.m. on class days. Penn also requires that posters and banners be removed within two weeks of going up. The university says it remains committed to freedom of speech and lawful assembly.
At Indiana University, protests after 11 p.m. are forbidden under a new "expressive activities policy" that took effect August 1. The policy says "camping" and erecting any type of shelter are prohibited on campus, and signs cannot be displayed on university property without prior approval.
The University of South Florida now requires approval for tents, canopies, banners, signs and amplifiers. The school’s "speech, expression and assembly" rules stipulate that no "activity," including protests or demonstrations, is allowed after 5 p.m. on weekdays or during weekends and not allowed at all during the last two weeks of a semester.
A draft document obtained over the summer by the student newspaper at Harvard University showed the college was considering prohibitions on overnight camping, chalk messages and unapproved signs.
About 50 Columbia students still face discipline over last spring’s demonstrations after a mediation process that began earlier in the summer stalled, according to Mahmoud Khalil, a lead negotiator working on behalf of Columbia student protesters. He blamed the impasse on Columbia administrators.
"The university loves to appear that they’re in dialogue with the students. But these are all fake steps meant to assure the donor community and their political class," said Khalil, a graduate student at Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs. A worthless degree
The university did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.
The Ivy League school in upper Manhattan was roiled earlier this year by student demonstrations, culminating in scenes of coppers with zip ties and riot shields storming a building occupied by pro-Paleostinian protesters.
Similar protests swept college campuses nationwide, with many leading to violent mostly peacefulfestivities with police and more than 3,000 arrests. Many of the students who were arrested during police crackdowns have had their charges dismissed, but some are still waiting to learn what prosecutors decide. Many have faced fallout in their academic careers, including suspensions, withheld diplomas and other forms of discipline.

Maybe the Educational system is seeing the Trump Train coming in Nov. 2024 with America screaming a demand return to normalcy and common sensibility.
Besides, who wants to spend $100k to $200+k on their kids' college education. Only to be their degree associated with an educational system that supports Genocidal Terrorists.

[KavkazUzel] The niqab can be a good disguise for criminals, given that there are no systems to find out who is underneath it, said retired Interior Ministry Colonel Amir Kolov. The niqab was previously used as a means of disguise, including during the Chechen campaigns, but modern systems make it possible to establish who is hiding underneath it, countered Sergei Goncharov, president of the Association of Veterans of the Alpha Anti-Terror Unit.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot", on August 9, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Dagestan disseminated information that a native of Chechnya, Ali Demilkhanov (also referred to by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Dagestan as Ali Demelkhanov) had wounded two police officers. The department noted that the man was moving around in a niqab.
Later, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Dagestan denied the information about the attack, stating that it was about an incident in 2017, and called the information about the movement of the wanted man in a niqab relevant.
The message from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Dagestan about the search for a terrorist who hides his identity using a niqab is a continuation of the trend set by the federal center to combat religious clothing, Dagestani journalists interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" noted on August 11. The information that Demilkhanov, who attacked the security forces, wears a niqab for secrecy looks dubious against the backdrop of the ongoing campaign against religious clothing, social network users noted.
A temporary ban on wearing niqabs has been introduced in Dagestan; it will remain in effect until a new theological opinion, the republic's Muftiate announced on July 3. Statements by representatives of the Islamic clergy on the issue of the fatwa on the niqab have sparked a debate about the presence of "radical" mosques in Dagestan and, on the contrary, those loyal to the Muftiate. Disputes have also arisen about whether the ban is mandatory or advisory in nature. The "Caucasian Knot" reference " Fatwa on the ban on the niqab - a law or a recommendation " contains expert opinions on whether the ban of the Muftiate of Dagestan will be implemented.
Former security officials interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" assessed the possibility of terrorists using the niqab for camouflage.
Retired Interior Ministry Colonel Amir Kolov noted that, apart from the report of Ali Demilkhanov, who is wanted, moving around in a niqab, he has never heard of terrorists using the niqab for camouflage. He also believed that such cases could be repeated in the future, since the niqab can be a good disguise for criminals. "As far as I know, there are no systems to identify who is hiding under the niqab," he told a "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
The opposite point of view was expressed by Sergei Goncharov, President of the Association of Veterans of the Anti-Terror Unit "Alpha". According to him, he has repeatedly heard of cases of the niqab being used for camouflage - both during the war in Afghanistan and during the Chechen wars. "The niqab makes identification very difficult.
However, modern technologies still allow us to identify who is wearing it," S. Goncharov emphasized. Let us recall that on June 23, on the Day of the Holy Trinity, which is one of the main Christian holidays, militants attacked synagogues and an Orthodox church in Derbent and Makhachkala. As a result, at least 22 people were killed and 46 were injured.
Following the militant attacks in Dagestan, the issue of banning religious clothing was raised in the republics of the North Caucasus. Who spoke out against hijabs and niqabs, how attempts were made in the country to introduce a ban on wearing religious clothing in schools and universities - read in the "Caucasian Knot" reference "The Main Thing About the New Attempt to Ban Hijabs in Russia".

It is clear that Russia does not have the leverage to stop the conflict in Gaza and to set conditions for peace between Israel and Palestine.
[REGNUM] On August 13, Vladimir Putin received the leader of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) and head of the Palestinian movement Fatah, Mahmoud Abbas, at his Novo-Ogaryovo residence near Moscow. Continued on Page 49

"If Russia and China succeed in bringing the Palestinian factions together, it will be another powerful blow to Washington's position in the Middle East. This will allow Russia to continue to play a significant role in the process of establishing Palestinian statehood and strengthen its position in the Arab and Islamic world as a whole.
Which is only to be expected of Russia, an oriental despotism that has traditionally eschewed a place for it in Western Civilization.
[GEO.TV] Amid an outcry from internet users and digital rights activists over the disruption of digital platforms and slow internet speed, Pak authorities have completed 2nd trial run of its much-debated firewall, telecom sources told Geo News on Thursday. Protecting the nation from un-Islamic influences. And porn.
The firewall was installed on internet service providers (ISPs) possessing deep packet inspection (DPI) capability, the sources said adding that the firewall has been installed in view of national security concerns.
The telco sources also confirmed that mobile signals and internet services slowed down due to the installation of a new firewall aimed at blocking unwanted content.
They claimed that all social media services would return to normal speed in two to three days after the conclusion of the firewall's trial period.
The first trial run was said to be carried out in July which resulted in the slowing down of social media platforms.
The federal government had allocated more than Rs30 billion in the development budget for the acquisition and installation of this filtering system.
The allocation was made to the Ministry of Information Technology; however, the execution of this project is being done from another power centre.
However,
Switzerland makes more than cheese... the adverse impacts after installing the firewall drew criticism from local netizens and digital rights organizations who expressed fear about the future of internet-based businesses in Pakistain.
As internet users in Pakistain continue to reel under prevailing access and speed issues, the Wireless and Internet Service Providers Association of Pakistain (WISPAP) has blamed the phenomenon on increased security and surveillance whose adverse repercussions might lead to severe economic repercussions.
"It’s a very discouraging situation for our customers [...] Many are leaving the smaller ISPs because they cannot sustain the poor service quality anymore. If this continues, we will see a mass exodus of businesses from Pakistain," said

[GEO.TV] Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Thursday said former chief of army staff General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa had threatened to impose martial law in the country as he sought an extension in his term for the second time in November 2022.
The Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz (PML-N) big shot said this in response to a statement by Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... Assembly Speaker Malik Ahmed Khan who told the media that Bajwa, who is his close friend, did not seek an extension.
A day earlier, the PA speaker, who also belongs to PML-N, recalled his meeting with the former serviceman in the US embassy where Bajwa denied rumours that he wanted an extension.
He indicated that it was possible that some details might have slipped Khawaja Asif's mind.
Speaking on Geo News show 'Capital Talk', Asif said that he has a sound memory. "It is quite possible that I may not be able to recall things of near past. But, I absolutely retain all past memories," he stressed.
"General Bajwa had said in a sitting that he would impose martial law in the country," the defence minister asserted.
Asif said that he and Malik Ahmed are speaking about separate situations, adding that there is no difference between what both of them are saying.
General (retd) Bajwa, he remarked, had been demanding an extension of six months to one year "as part of a temporary arrangement" to defuse a deadlock.
Speaking on Geo News show Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath today, the Punjab assembly speaker reiterated that Gen (retd) Bajwa without mincing his words stated during his official US trip that he would not seek extension in his term.
"I am an old soldier and an old soldier fades away," Malik Ahmed recalled the quote of the former army chief, saying that Gen (retd) on many occasions reiterated the same stance that he was not seeking an extension.
Moreover, he said Bajwa believed that the General Sahir Shamshad Mirza and General Asim Munir should be appointed to the top posts of army chief and Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee.

[GEO.TV] Negotiators were to meet in the 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.

...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.

Gaza health officials reported separately on Thursday that the corpse count there had surpassed 40,000 people after more than 10 months of fighting.
This round of negotiations opened on Thursday, and the talks would resume on Friday for a second day, Qatari and US officials said.
A US official briefed on the discussions in Doha, who declined to be identified told Rooters, said that Thursday's talks were "constructive."
"This is vital work. The remaining obstacles can be overcome, and we must bring this process to a close," US national security spokesperson John Kirby told news hounds at the White House.
"Any agreement must achieve a comprehensive ceasefire, a complete (Israeli) withdrawal from Gaza, (and) the return of the displaced," Hamas official Hossam Badran said in a statement after truce talks resumed in Doha on Thursday.
Pressure for truce deal builds, as Gaza corpse count tops “40,000”
[GEO.TV] Pressure built for a Gaza ceasefire to be agreed at talks that reportedly began on Thursday in Qatar, aiming to stop the spread of a war that the Gaza's health ministry said has killed 40,000.
In a veiled warning to Iran, Hamas and Israel, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani said "no party in the region should take actions that would undermine efforts to reach a deal", the US State Department said.
