Chaotic Scene As NYPD Descends Upon NYU in Riot Gear, Arrests Dozens of Pro-Hamas Extremists

 

It's another night in New York City, and these days, that means it's another evening of radical pro-Hamas protesters taking over the campuses of once-proud institutions like Columbia University and NYU.  Although folks like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) will try to tell you that the demonstrations are oh-so-peaceful, and President Joe Biden will try to claim that there are good people on both sides of the issue, the truth of the matter is that many of these activists are loudly pledging their allegiance to Hamas terrorism, condemning America, and shouting their hatred of Jews.  [...]

Columbia University Students Reject A Two-Campus Solution

 

[...] Students continued to gather in large groups and chant threatening anti-Israel phrases as school leaders and other experts searched for potential ways to solve the crisis.  A representative of the university's "Gaza Solidarity Encampment" said there would be no peaceful two-campus solution agreement.

 

"We will not tolerate the existence of Jewish people on campus," said Darren Polk on behalf of the protesting students inside the encampment.  "People keep trying to come up with ‘peaceful ways' to end this conflict, but there's only one way we envision this coming to a conclusion, which is all the Jews being dead."

"Also, America.  America should be dead too."  [...]

Columbia Switches to Fully Remote Classes; UPDATE: Faculty Walkout in Support of Protesters

 

Remote learning is back, as Columbia University has ceded its campus to the antisemites.

 

No, I am not kidding.  Columbia has fallen.  [...]

Requests for refunds and lawsuits should be next.  Ivy league schools are a complete waste of money, but apparently some people want to pay a great deal of money to learn to become bigots and terrorists.

MIT President Moves Passover Event Amid New Unrest

 

[...] Just a few hours later, university staff told Jewish students that they had moved the planned seder dinner and Passover celebrations from Hillel to a new location and would be requiring students to register for the event and bring their MIT IDs.  Khan and other Jewish students and faculty quickly complained that the university was accommodating the encampment while moving the Jewish students to another location so they could safely celebrate Passover.  [...]

Amazingly, Harvard Suspends Pro-Hamas Student Group

 

My apologies if this comes off sounding a bit on the crude side, but has someone in the administration at Harvard finally started to "grow a pair?"  Following months of protests and disruptions, Harvard finally suspended the student group Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee (PSC).  The same group had already been placed on probation for their ongoing antics, but it never seemed to slow them down.  In a letter to the group, the administration further warned them that if they continued to operate or inappropriately use campus spaces, the members would face expulsion and be banished from Harvard Yard.  [...]

Columbia Admins Promise To Carefully Investigate Whether 'Let's Kill Every Jew We See On Campus' Chant Violates School's Conduct Policy

 

[...] "I am deeply saddened by the attention these protests have drawn to our school," Columbia President Minouche Shafik said in a statement this week.  "I wish our students could peacefully terrorize Jewish kids without the whole world coming down on them.  But anyway, we're reviewing our speech policies to see if these totally normal 'Let's Kill Every Jew We See On Campus' chants violate school policies."  [...]

Columbia Protestors Clarify They Only Want Death To America After America Is Done Paying Their Student Loans

 

NEW YORK, NY — As pro-Palestine groups continued to gather on campus following the establishment of the Gaza Solidarity Encampment, Columbia University protestors clarified that they only want "Death to America" after America is done paying their student loans for them.

"Death to America… in like, 3 or 4 years when I graduate!" shouted one student protestor.  [...]

I suspect one of the demands of these Hamas supporting terrorist student groups is that all Jewish students wear some sort of badge or tag to identify them as Jewish.

Pro-Palestine Protester Has to Ask a Friend Why She's Protesting

 

These two don't have their faces covered with kaffiyehs and they're not waving Palestinian flags (or burning American ones).  They seem to be more "casual" protesters who decided to come out and support the thing everyone's supporting.  We wonder if these two are students, because if they are, they weren't indoctrinated very well.  [...]

Iran's Ayatollah Defends Jihadis, Gleefully Touts U.S. Pro-Hamas Protests

 

The Supreme Leader of Iran's terror-sponsoring regime took to Twitter/X on Wednesday to defend Hamas terrorists, hurl false accusations at Israel, and celebrate the fact that useful American idiots align with his pro-jihad views.

 

Students in New York and elsewhere around the country are waving Palestinian flags and chanting such Nazi-like slogans as "We are Hamas" and "kill all Zionists."  Those are sentiments with which Ayatollah Khamenei, head of the Iranian Islamic Republic regime that oppresses its own people and sponsors terrorism abroad, is in full sympathy.  [...]

Here are the latest developments:

 

Columbia University: House Speaker Mike Johnson called on Columbia's president to resign if she cannot bring order to the campus. While most protests have been non-violent, some Jewish students are worried for their safety, with one Jewish student saying "the antisemitic comments and activity is running rampant." Negotiations between protesters and Columbia officials about clearing the encampment on its lawn were extended early Wednesday morning for another 48 hours

University of Southern California: Police arrested nearly 100 protesters at the University of Southern California after a dispersal order.

University of Texas at Austin: Following tense resistance, the Texas Department of Public Safety said that 34 arrests had been made by law enforcement on the campus as of 9 p.m. A Fox 7 photographer was among those arrested amid the heated clashes, the news outlet said in a report.

Cal Poly Humboldt: The California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt campus will remain closed through the weekend as protesters, including "unidentified non-students," continue to occupy two buildings, school officials said in an update.
