Pro-Hamas Students Occupy U.S. Universities

Arabs colonized the Middle East and now pro-Hamas “students” have been colonizing U.S. university campuses. 

For the last couple of weeks, pro-Hamas protests have erupted across the U.S. The number of people arrested in connection with protests on college campuses against the Israel-Hamas war has now topped 2,000. The Associated Press has tallied arrests at 35 schools since a tent encampment began at Columbia University on April 17.

I rightly refer to these protests as “pro-Hamas,” because they are not simply “Pro-Palestinian” (whatever a Palestinian is supposed to be). It’s important to remember that over 70% of “Palestinians” support the terrorist organization, Hamas. (Source: The Times of Israel) And equally important to remember that the original Hamas charter called for the complete destruction of Israel. As I’ve written about many times, the co-founder of Hamas’ military wing has told me personally and unequivocally that Hamas has never been interested in a two-state solution – only in the eradication of the nation of Israel. 

Do these U.S. university students know what they’re protesting or whom they are supporting? Not really. There’s plenty of evidence of this on social media. It’s embarrassing. And this further convinces me that the only purpose of elite colleges (and probably others) is to indoctrinate young minds nursed on social media and fragile ideas. 

But no one can seriously believe that these protests are spontaneous or that they are organized by the students themselves. Clearly there are outside actors- and pretty coordinated ones at that – who are instigating these less than peaceful events. 

According to the New York Post, globalist George Soros is paying student radicals who are fueling a nationwide explosion of Israel-hating protests through a group called the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR). 

And the involvement of Soros probably also explains why university leadership has been so slow to respond to these increasingly violent demonstrations. They can’t afford to offend their top donors. Soros’ Open Society Foundation has contributed many hundreds of millions of dollars to U.S. universities. In addition, over the last five years, China has contributed nearly 400 million dollars to U.S. universities. By stark contrast, for example, in 2021, only 10% of Harvard’s income came from actual degree-seeking students. So I’m just reminding you about who is controlling this situation. Not people who love the U.S., much less care about Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East.

Another question that is worth asking is why this particular global conflict, one started by Hamas’ genocidal attack on Israel on October 7th, is the ONE conflict that requires all of this chaos on our campuses? Is anyone protesting the Ukraine-Russia war – a conflict that has taken hundreds of thousands of lives? How about the ongoing war in Syria that has claimed hundreds of thousands of Muslims lives? Or any of the more than 110 armed conflicts currently happening? (Source: Geneva Academy) The answer is no. Evidently, Israel is the only nation worth hating. Do not underestimate the spiritual-religious aspect to the visceral hatred towards all things Israeli. This is not about the U.S.’s aid to Israel or about truth and justice. I don’t buy that for one minute. Truth would be recognizing that every Palestinian death lies at the feet of Hamas. Justice would be the complete destruction of Hamas. 

The bottom line regarding these student protests: Enough is enough. I am not interested in your freedom of expression when it impedes the rights of others to move about safely or use public spaces. I’m also not okay with taking down the American flag and raising the “Palestinian” flag. So, if the illegal occupying of campuses continues, arrest the lot of them. Anyway, a little jail time shouldn’t bother true revolutionaries. Unfortunately for these kids, if campus authorities  just turned off the air-conditioning, they’d probably all go home. (I seriously heard a student spokesperson ask for “humanitarian aid” for student protesters. Because, you know, entitled students at Ivy League colleges are so oppressed…)

Final thought: Regarding the whole flag situation, Elon Musk posted a poll on X (formerly Twitter) asking the question: “Proposed law: if someone tears down the American flag and puts up another flag in its place, that person should get a free (but mandatory) one-way trip to that flag’s country: Yes or No?” I’m inclined to say “yes.” I’m bored with people using our freedoms against the very fabric and intent of our nation. A life-time visit to a theocratic, repressive, Islamic country might be just the thing for some people.
