William A. Jacobson (legalinsurrection.com)
"Anti-Israel protesters have been unhinged and dangerous forever, but particularly since October 7.
"We have documented here dozens of times the intimidation tactics, including particularly on campuses. The lasting impact of the campus protests and encampments is that with only a small number of exceptions, there were no consequences to violating campus rules. We saw several universities pay ransom for the encampments to end without disrupting reunions and graduation. The sense of being able to act with impunity was evident in the smugness of the “From the River to the Sea” crowd.
"Woven into this fabric are faculty who encourage and defend the misconduct and administrators who are scared.
"So too when it comes to the criminal laws. At Columbia, protesters including many non-students took over and trashed a campus building, but most are having their charges dropped completely or reduced to diversion agreements whereby the charges are expunged if they stay out of trouble for a specified time.
"This societal weakness will encourage even more agressive action.
"Anti-Israel activists, particularly in big cities, are getting more aggressive by the day, as they realize the majority of Americans are not with them, and Israel has the determination to keep fighting. Protesters are becoming hoodlums." . . .
With support from some Congress members!
