Opinion | The Ivy League’s Anti-Israel Protest Meltdown

Opinion | The Ivy League’s Anti-Israel Protest Meltdown (msn.com)....  "Anyone who thinks concerns about antisemitism are overdone isn’t paying attention to the scenes at elite universities. Anti-Israel, antisemitic protests at Columbia, Yale and elsewhere are getting uglier, and it isn’t clear the progressives in charge of these institutions are up to the job of enforcing order or protecting Jewish students.

"At Columbia in New York City, pro-Palestinian demonstrators have surrounded Jewish students to push them from a protest camp dominating the campus lawn. “Attention Everyone,” a voice says in a campus video, “Can I get everyone to form a human chain, we have a Zionist at the entrance of our encampment.”

"The “Zionist” was a Jewish student whose friend wore a necklace with a Star of David, according to News Israel correspondent Neria Kraus. The Palestinian crowd followed the order to “slowly walk and take a step forward so we can push them out of the camp.”

"Many protesters on and near campus wear masks or kaffiyehs to disguise their identities. Students have to walk through a gauntlet to get to class. The protesters carry banners calling to “Honor the Martyrs of Palestine” and a sign pointing to pro-Israel counterprotesters as “al-Qasam’s next targets.” Al-Qassam is the military wing of Hamas. That’s a call to kill Jews." . . .

The more one learns about Hamas, the more ignorant our youth look to us.

 The Truth About Israel - American Thinker

[Hamas] is one of the most evil, barbaric organization that has ever existed and I would include the Nazis in that vile collection. They rape, behead babies, slaughter children and women and I wish the ignorant and brainwashed Americans crying about Israel committing "genocide" would get their heads out of their butts and actually answer this question -- what choice does Israel have except to eliminate Hamas?

. . ."Hamas is a violent spinoff of the Muslim Brotherhood which has been deemed a terrorist organization by the U.S., Canada, and the European Union due to its use of suicide bombings and rocket attacks against civilians.. It has perfected the military strategy of embedding their soldiers under hospitals, schools, mosques and children's play areas so that any attack will cause collateral damage of innocent citizens. The 300 miles of tunnels to Israel they’ve constructed under restrictive buildings are meant to shelter their soldiers, not their citizens, because Hamas does not care for Palestinian lives any more than they care for Israeli lives.

It is one of the most evil, barbaric organization that has ever existed and I would include the Nazis in that vile collection. They rape, behead babies, slaughter children and women and I wish the ignorant and brainwashed Americans crying about Israel committing "genocide" would get their heads out of their butts and actually answer this question -- what choice does Israel have except to eliminate Hamas?

Like the United States, Israel does not start wars,. They enter into the situation of war because they have been attacked or to assist their allies who are in peril. Hamas waged war on Israel on October 7, 2023 by invading southern Israel, killing 1,200 civilians and taking hostages, which is a war crime according to the Geneva Convention which means nothing to barbarians, of course. In the past, Israel could depend on aid from America but this current administration is about as anti-Israel as the DNC and Obama allow it to be.  

The mainstream media is doing all it can to debunk the horror stories by conservative bloggers and eyewitnesses describing  the massacre in sharp detail. The brain-dead Millennials protesting on their Columbia University campus against Israel probably believe the debunking of the IDF claims of the October 7 massacre. Columbia University has always been the site of student protests since the Vietnam War. Of course, most of those students were afraid of being drafted and killed in battle so in some way, one could understand the reason behind these demonstrations.

Sports Illustrated model explains why she's leaving California

SI model, Kristen Louelle Gaffney, blasts California homeless crisis for move to Nashville (nypost.com)  


"Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kristen Louelle Gaffney is fed up with California — and she’s leaving.
"Gaffney, 34, blasted California’s homeless and drug crises as a reason she and her 2-time Super Bowl champion husband, Tyler Gaffney, took their three kids and fled to Nashville, Tennessee.

"Gaffney, a San Diego native, told Fox News she was fed up with policies created by President Biden, Gov. Gavin Newsom and city governments that have fueled the problems.

"The more we claim, and I use the word claim very strongly, that we’re helping these people, it seems like the situation is getting worse,” Gaffney said.

" 'A lot of people come to LA thinking this is the land of my dreams, this is the land of opportunity, this is where I can create something and make a name for myself,” Gaffney said. “LA homelessness…there’s nothing like it. I’ve been on the East Coast, I’ve been on the West Coast, I’ve been in the Bay Area.”

"“This is the dirtiest I’ve seen our cities,” she said.

"Gaffney says she has contributed plenty with her taxes and was offended over politicians asking for more.

" 'You’ve taken enough from us, and you’re only showing me that it’s getting worse,” she told the outlet.

"The move was blamed specifically on the homeless crisis fueled by an increase in the cost of living, which has created an unsafe, living environment for Gaffney to raise her young children." . . .

Candace Cameron Bure explains why her family left LA (msn.com) "Candace Cameron Bure is the latest celebrity to migrate out of Hollywood. After fans speculated whether she moved, she confirmed such in an Instagram Story. "Many of you have asked, 'Did you move?' Yes," the Full House alum, noted in her Instagram Story on Saturday. "'Why?' Mostly for security reasons. Also, family dynamics have changed. The kids don't live in Los Angeles anymore. Mama will go where they go! I travel a lot. The seasons of life."

"Her move comes nearly a year after her daughter, Natasha Bure, left California for Texas in August 2023. She explained her decision to leave Tinseltown in a YouTube video, explaining she desired to explore outside of her "little bubble" and venture into new experiences." . . .

Joe Biden Learns What Sowing and Reaping Is As Violent Antisemitic Protests Explode

 Joe Biden Learns What Sowing and Reaping Is As Violent Antisemitic Protests Explode – Bonchie  

"Antisemitic and anti-American "protests" continued on Sunday as pro-Hamas supporters occupied areas of Columbia University and Yale University. In one case, a young Jewish student was stabbed in the eye before being told by campus police that there was nothing they could do. 

"With a further escalation of violence from the terrorist supporters all but inevitable, Columbia's rabbi went so far as to tell Jewish students to go home and not return until order was restored." . . .

 "For months, the Biden administration has given public credence to the "pain" and "suffering" of pro-Hamas protesters, doing nothing to discourage their illegal activities and thirst for violence. Undergirding that has been the dangerous far-left ideology of "oppression" which supposes anyone poorer and less successful must be the victim of "colonization" and "marginalization." In other words, the ends always justify the means for the "oppressed."

"There is a testing of the waters going on. The crowds of pro-Hamas supporters want to know how far they can push the boundary because they have no intention of stopping with Jews on college campuses. Their goal is cultural and political domination. 

"That reality has finally started to peak through the blinds of the White House, and a condemnation was put by one of Joe Biden's handlers." . . . 

BREAKING: White House statement on anti-Israel protests at Columbia University:
“While every American has the right to peaceful protect, calls for violence and physical intimidation targeting Jewish students and the Jewish community are blatantly Antisemitic, unconscionable, and dangerous – they have absolutely no place on any college campus, or anywhere in the United States of America. And echoing the rhetoric of terrorist organizations, especially in the wake of the worst massacre committed against the Jewish people since the Holocaust, is despicable. We condemn these statements in the strongest terms.” -Andrew Bates, White House Deputy Press Secretary

Rep. Ilhan Omar 'enormously proud' of daughter suspended from Barnard for anti-Israel activity

Jacob Kornbluh – The Forward 

Should her daughter have burned Jewish babies to death? Would she have machine-gunned Jewish families in their bedrooms? How often does she invite the Squad and friends over to watch Schindler's List and its cleaning out of the Polish ghetto? TD

"Rep. Ilhan Omar said Friday that she was “enormously proud” of her 21-year-old daughter, Isra Hirsi, who was suspended from Barnard College the day before for her participation in anti-Israel protests on the campus of Columbia University. 

"Apartheid Divest, a coalition of student organizations at the university, which includes Barnard, said Hirsi and two other students were told of their suspension early Thursday by Barnard’s dean, Leslie Grinage. Later that day, the New York Police Department arrested more than 100 pro-Palestinian protesters, mostly on charges of trespassing and disorderly conduct, clearing what they called a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” of more than 20 tents from Columbia’s main lawn. 

"Omar, a Minnesota Democrat and one of the most outspoke critics of Israel in Congress, posted her praise Friday on X." . . .

May we assume Omar would have been proud of her daughter setting infants on fire, machine-gunning families in their homes, and making children watch their sisters and mothers being raped by thugs? Did she and her friends watch the same video that Hamas showed the people of Gaza, and did she cheer the same scenes the Gazans cheered? Gazans did these acts because I find them monsters; college youths did so because I find them useful idiots.TD

Ilhan Omar's Daughter Gets Teen Vogue Profile After Suspension Over Anti-Israel Protesting  Attacked with "Chemical weapons"? It appears to be this:

Tunnel Wall: A sight I found fairly terrifying in a meeting room filled with American citizens who are "useful idiots"!    "The radiant young Americans and their pleasant teacher enjoy each other as he teaches them Muslim chants of "death to America!", and 'death to Israel'. Which is more frightening: that smiling teacher or the young sheep with their raised fists and words implanted in their fertile minds, coming out of their ignorant mouths? It is awful to see so much murderous ignorance in American young people who might be our neighbors. Or family members!

For that matter, can you picture this man now teaching Arabic chants to American children placing an infant into an oven to cook to death; beheading a young person with blows from a hoe or shovel; raping a lady while her family watches at gunpoint. Can you see this pleasant man raping a woman from behind while another grabs her hair and bends her over a truck bed? Would he shoot her in the head while in the act of penetrating her? 

All these have been witnessed by some who have escaped alive from the young men of Hamas who recorded their deeds while doing them with glee. Those video scenes were played for the people of Gaza City who cheered each act that they found to their liking." . . .

. . ."HAMAS MASSACRE (saturday-october-seven.com)  The work of Hamas is so revolting they had to blur out the photos of what they did to publish them.  But since you Keffiyeh-Klad Kollegians are so proud of your latest passion it seemed necessary to display your work. You chant "We are Hamas"? Which Hamas are you; the one who shattered a woman's pelvis by your violent rape? The one who beheaded an infant in its crib? He who made an Israeli family watch you kill their parents? How about one of those who took four Israeli women to an intersection, shot them, then left their bodies in the road?"

‘Almost 50’ Hamas Massacre Survivors Later Took Their Own Lives, Survivor Says

I hate that those ignorant demonstrators in our streets do not seem to know any of this. TD
