(OPINION) What we are witnessing throughout the nation right now is truly sad. At colleges and universities all over the United States, crazed protesters are setting up encampments, attacking Jewish students, replacing the American flag with the Palestinian flag, and illegally occupying buildings.
Unfortunately, these protests are likely to become even more heated in the days ahead because Israel is preparing to make a really big move. No matter how negotiations for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza turn out, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is promising that the IDF will go into Rafah and eliminate the Hamas forces that are hiding there…
Netanyahu said Israel would enter Rafah, which Israel says is Hamas’ last stronghold, regardless of whether a truce-for-hostages deal is struck. His comments appeared to be meant to appease his nationalist governing partners, but it was not clear whether they would have any bearing on any emerging deal with Hamas.
“The idea that we will stop the war before achieving all of its goals is out of the question,” Netanyahu said, according to a statement from his office. “We will enter Rafah, and we will eliminate Hamas’ battalions there — with or without a deal, to achieve total victory.”
When this operation takes place, pro-Hamas protesters all over the U.S. will go completely nuts. Of course, many would argue that they have already gone completely nuts.
On Tuesday, rabid pro-Hamas activists at Columbia University actually took over one of the most important buildings on campus…
Student protesters at Columbia University declared Tuesday morning that they have taken over a building near the campus’s South Lawn, raising the prospect of further turmoil at the Ivy League institution.
The school responded by threatening to expel the students who occupied the building. Protesters and authorities are facing off on campuses across the nation, with arrests made and encampments closed at Cal Poly Humboldt, UNC Chapel Hill, the University of Florida and elsewhere.
Activists have barricaded all entrances to Hamilton Hall, and they are displaying a Palestinian flag from one of the windows…
Dozens of protesters took over a building at Columbia University in New York early Tuesday, barricading the entrances and unfurling a Palestinian flag out a window in the latest escalation of demonstrations against the Israel-Hamas war that have spread to college campuses nationwide.
Video footage showed protesters on Columbia’s Manhattan campus locking arms in front of Hamilton Hall early Tuesday and carrying furniture and metal barricades to the building, one of several that was occupied during a 1968 civil rights and anti-Vietnam War protest on the campus. Posts on an Instagram page for protest organizers shortly after midnight urged people to protect the encampment and join them at Hamilton Hall.
What in the world do they hope to accomplish by doing this? One student who witnessed the occupation of the building is using the term “lawless” to describe what is happening…
Columbia junior Jessica Schwalb described the campus to CBS News as “lawless. Utter anarchy.” She said demonstrators in Hamilton Hall “zip-tied the door handles together and then broke the windows, bashed the windows with hammers and put these metal bike locks around the door handles.
They put the bike lock on the first set of doors, is what I saw. Then they were bringing tables, the heavy black metal tables from the eating area that’s right in front of Hamilton Hall, and had a group of people push them up against the door handles as a barricade and then people were also bringing furniture from Hamilton Hall to barricade inside.”
We haven’t seen anything like this in a long time. Columbia was once one of our finest higher education institutions, but now it has become an incubator for far-left radicals.
One attorney that is involved in suing Columbia is alleging that there have been “straight-out calls for the genocide of Jews” during the protests that have been happening at the university…
The attorney of an anonymous Jewish Columbia student who is suing the university for allegedly not providing “a safe educational environment” says his client is having to deal with calls for genocide while attending school.
“There are straight-out calls for the genocide of Jews. This has happened because of complacency and appeasement by our academic institutions,” Jay Edelson, who is representing the student, told NewNation’s Leland Vittert on “On Balance.”
And he also says that Jewish students have been “punched, shoved, spat upon, blocked from attending classes and moving freely about campus, and targeted by pro-terrorist hate speech”…
“The encampment has been the center of round-the-clock harassment of Jewish students, who have been punched, shoved, spat upon, blocked from attending classes and moving freely about campus, and targeted by pro-terrorist hate speech –– both verbal and in written form on massive banners and signs –– with statements such as: ‘Death to the Jews’; ‘Long live Hamas’; ‘Globalize the Intifada,’” the lawsuit said.
This is actually happening in the United States of America in 2024. The protests at Columbia University are getting the most headlines, but the truth is that this sort of thing is happening at colleges and universities all over the country.
At Portland State University, students have actually been trying to take over the entire school library…
Officials at Portland State University in Oregon closed the campus Tuesday citing an “ongoing incident at library.” The school asked police to help remove dozens of protesters occupying the building.
Last week the university paused seeking or accepting gifts or grants from Boeing pending a review of weapons sales to Israel. Down in Texas, authorities are taking a much different approach to these protests.
Police are using flash bangs and pepper spray against pro-Hamas protesters, and dozens are being cuffed and hauled away…
Police in Austin arrested 79 pro-Palestine protestors who set up an encampment at the University of Texas – a marked contrast to NYC, where Columbia protesters have been allowed to take over parts of the campus.
Austin law enforcement moved in on the encampment on the university’s South Lawn before deploying flash bangs and pepper spray to disperse those that had gathered on Monday.
On Tuesday, Travis County jail confirmed that 79 people were arrested at the protests. Sadly, this is just the beginning.
Once the IDF goes into Rafah, pro-Hamas protesters all over the U.S. will go completely insane. If you live in an area where they are active, you will want to prepare yourself for that. Meanwhile, the Biden administration seems quite eager to bring even more radicals into this nation.
It is being reported that the recent “aid package” that was just signed into law actually includes 3.5 billion dollars that will “supercharge mass migration from the Middle East”…
President Joe Biden’s pro-migration border chief is opening new processing centers for Muslim migrants, amid pro-HAMAS riots in U.S. cities and just after Congress granted $3.5 billion more for migration within the $95 billion aid package for Ukraine and Israel. (READ MORE)
