One of the most vocal student activists leading the anti-Israel Gaza Solidarity Encampment at <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/columbia-university" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbia University</a>, Khymani James, openly stated in an live-stream of an official university inquiry in January that &#8220;Zionists don’t deserve to live.&#8221;
James, who states in the hearing that he goes by &#8220;he/she/they&#8221; pronouns, live-streamed his meeting with Columbia&#8217;s Center for Student Success and Intervention, where he doubled down on an Instagram post that sparked the report. In the report, which he reads aloud at the start of the meeting, James warned Zionists who may want to “meet up and fight” and that he “fights to kill.”
“Do you see why that’s problematic in any way?” a Columbia employee asked James during the hearing, to which he responded: &#8220;No.&#8221;

James, a junior and spokesperson of the Columbia University Apartheid Divest group, has been the visible face of the protests that have garnered national attention. He appears to still be a student at the university, and has been one of the key organizers of the encampment. He was one of the students who held <a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/24/cuad-holds-press-conference-confirms-university-commitment-to-no-nypd-involvement-for-next-48-hours/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a press conference</a> on Wednesday, where he claimed that the school conceded it would not call law enforcement on the encampment.
In the video James posted to social media of his January interaction with school officials, he defends his belief that all Zionists deserve to die.
&#8220;I feel very comfortable, very comfortable, calling for those people to die,&#8221; James says. &#8220;And with that being said, Khymani is signed out.&#8221;
In another post on his public social media profile, James stated that he “carry that tool” and that he is “moving like I’m in an open carry state.”

When asked about the seriousness of taking someone&#8217;s life, James said that sometimes it is necessary to murder people.

“I think that taking someone’s life in certain case scenarios is necessary and better for the overall world. I personally have never killed anyone,” he said. “Thank the Lord that no one has put me in that position.&#8221;
He compared the need to kill Zionists to killing Hitler or Haitian revolutionaries who had to &#8220;kill their masters in order to gain their independence.&#8221;
“These were masters who were white supremacists. What is a Zionist? A white supremacist. So let&#8217;s be very clear here, I’m not saying that I’m going to go out and start killing Zionists. What I am saying is that if an individual who identifies as a Zionist threatens my physical safety in person, i.e., puts their hands on me, I am going to defend myself and in that case scenario, it may come to a point where I don’t know when to stop.”
“I understand what you are saying,” the Columbia employee responds. “What resources do you think you have to make sure that you feel protected as a student here?”
“My hands and my brains are my resources,” James responded, before going on to call the meeting “institutional violence.”
James went on to say that &#8220;there should not be Zionists anywhere.&#8221;
“People who hold those types of ideologies, the world is better without them. That is what my comment is indicative of, and I will stand with that,” he said.
During a break in the meeting, James looked at his camera and called the meeting “a joke.”
“They definitely were hoping that I was going to walk back the ‘I fight to kill,’” he said, cackling. James said he does “fight to kill” and that is why no one has fought him since middle school.
When the employees returned from the break, they told him he would hear from their office again. It&#8217;s unclear what the result of the proceeding was. After publication of this story, a Columbia University spokesman indicated that there may have been &#8220;disciplinary measures&#8221; for his conduct.
&#8220;While we do not comment on individual cases, when there are violations of student conduct policies, they are reviewed and disciplinary measures are applied,&#8221; the spokesman said.
James did not respond to a request for comment.

James continued to rant on his livestream after the meeting concluded and made some of his most unhinged statements.
“Zionists don’t deserve to live comfortably, let alone Zionists don’t deserve to live,” he said. “The same way we are very comfortable accepting Nazis don’t deserve to live, fascists don’t deserve to live, racists don’t deserve to live, Zionists, they shouldn’t live in this world.”
“Be grateful that I&#8217;m not just going out and murdering Zionists,” James also said. “I&#8217;ve never hurt anyone in my life, and I hope to keep it that way.”
James said he welcomed getting kicked out of Columbia because he wants to travel to South America and “live my best life.”
He also contemplated what would happen if the United States supported the murder of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“His death would theoretically mean that many people would live,” James states. “And so murder can absolutely be justified.”
On the day after Hamas’ massacre of more than 1,000 Israelis, James began his anti-Israel activism on X, declaring “Free Palestine” while terrorists were still in civilian communities in southern Israel.

‘Zionists Don’t Deserve To Live’: Meet The Leader Of Columbia University’s Anti-Israel Encampment

Anti-Semitism

Columbia University

General

Hamas

Israel

New York City

U.S.

Hamas is running Columbia University. 
That appears to be the way things are at America&#8217;s top universities, where students who openly back terrorist groups are now violating place and manner restrictions. They&#8217;re violating their student codes. They&#8217;re sitting out in the middle of the campus, obstructing other people from getting to class, shouting genocidal slogans at them. 
At Columbia, because the administration is filled with cowards, they are doing nothing about it.
It is important to break down the free speech concerns that people justifiably have about what is happening on these college campuses. To understand the concerns, first you have to understand that there are various factors that go into the actual legal obligations that various universities have with regard to their students. 
On the one hand, there’s the First Amendment, which applies differently at private universities and public universities. The First Amendment suggests you cannot have viewpoint discrimination on college campuses, but that only applies in full at public universities. For example, if I wanted to speak at UC Berkeley and the student group properly invited me, cleared it through all the procedures, and fulfilled the time, place, and manner restrictions, then I would have a legal right to speak at UC Berkeley.
The same does not hold true when I go to speak at a private university such as DePaul University. That actually happened when I showed up at DePaul University, which is a private Jesuit university. When I showed up there, they didn&#8217;t want me there. They threatened to arrest me if I set foot on the campus. 
And they had the legal right to do that. Not only that, they also got the Cook County Sheriff out there to arrest me if I set foot on the campus. Was that morally correct? Of course not; it was absurd. It was a restriction on the principles of free speech.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1953-hamas-university-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
But was it a legal violation of my rights? No. 
That is why I could not sue them; they are a private university. Public universities and private universities have different legal obligations with regard to viewpoint discrimination on campuses.
You can see why. Let&#8217;s say that you have a Christian university. They have no obligation to bring in a professor or speaker who is wildly pro-abortion or plans to teach Judaism or Islam. It&#8217;s a Christian university.
To take another example, a private Jewish university in New York has no obligation to have professors who are teaching radical Islam.
But in public universities, there’s the question of time, place, and manner restrictions, which, legally speaking, suggest you can have neutral laws that basically say you&#8217;re allowed to protest only during certain particular hours.
By the way, this doesn&#8217;t just apply to universities. This applies in cities. This is why it’s illegal for protesters to walk onto a highway and block it. You must have a permit in order to protest at certain times in certain places.
There are certain places in the United States where you have very broad leeway for speech. If you walk into a public park and start shouting about politics, there’s a good shot you’re protected. But even in public parks, if you&#8217;re going to have a mass rally, there are time, place, and manner restrictions. You don&#8217;t want that happening at 2:00 in the morning with a loudspeaker.
Another concern with regard to college campuses is Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
I have long argued that the Civil Rights Act, while obviously excellent in its intent, goes too far in many areas of American law, from applying to private accommodations to its restrictions on speech at universities.
It&#8217;s an anti-discrimination law. It was designed to allow black people to live fulsome lives in the United States, a well-intended law. If I&#8217;d been around in 1964, I likely would have voted for the Civil Rights Act, despite all of my mitigating problems with the actual legal language of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. But it does go too far in a lot of areas when it comes to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which guarantees that college students have a right to a place that is free of a harassing environment on the basis of sex, race, and ethnicity.
This creates some kind of fraught situations with regard to free speech because there could be a situation in which a university tried to claim that particular types of speech could violate Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. That is one of the things that all of these universities are now being slammed for because they have created massive speech codes that are theoretically designed to quash violations of the Civil Rights Act on campus. Many of them go too far, which FIRE, the free speech group, has pointed out. Many of these speech codes are not actually designed to avoid violations of the Civil Rights Act.
<h4><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a></h4>
But it is the case that if you have a bunch of pro-terrorist students on campus harassing Jews as they get to class by spitting on them, who shout about the extermination of Jews between the river and the sea, who are suggesting that they want to “globalize the intifada,” a violent, incendiary attempt to kill Jews in Israel and elsewhere, that kind of speech would violate Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.
You can make the case that some of the speech is borderline in how it interplays between the Civil Rights Act and free speech, and I&#8217;d be sympathetic to that case. But on a legal level, the reality is that these universities cannot receive federal funding if they are acting in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.
The Biden administration has made this clear. They put out <a href="https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/letters/colleague-202311-discrimination-harassment-shared-ancestry.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a letter</a> in November 2023 which addressed this specifically, calling it a “Dear Colleague” letter and reminding “schools that receive federal financial assistance of their legal obligation under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and its implementing regulations (Title VI) to provide all students with a school environment free from discrimination based on race, color, or national origin, including shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics.”
Columbia University, now the epicenter of the anti-Semitic pro-Hamas movement, has a student code of conduct; they’re a private university.
In the Columbia University Student Code of Conduct, the Statement of <a href="https://compliance.columbia.edu/content/statement-ethical-conduct-and-administrative-code-conduct" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ethical Conduct</a> reads:
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Be honest, ethical and truthful.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Obey the law.</li>
</ol>
These demonstrators are violating the law. They are trespassing. They&#8217;re in violation of the law.
Columbia University’s Standards of Discipline &amp; Policy <a href="https://cssi.columbia.edu/content/learn-about-policies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">state:</a>
<blockquote>As members of the Columbia University community, all students are expected to uphold the highest standards of respect, integrity, and civility. These core values are key components of the Columbia University experience and reflect the community’s expectations of its students. Students are expected to conduct themselves in an honest, civil, and respectful manner in all aspects of their lives.</blockquote>
I didn&#8217;t realize spitting on Jews, threatening Israel with extermination, and acting at the behest of terror groups and terror supporters was acting within that purview.
A private university like Columbia University has no obligation whatsoever to tolerate pro-Hamas students chanting anti-Semitic slogans on their campus. They likely have a Title VI Civil Rights Act obligation not to allow that to happen on their campus because it creates harassing, discriminatory incitement.
If there were a group of white supremacists at Columbia University in the middle of campus chanting, “Blacks should not replace us,” that would not last one hot second before the police were called in.
Columbia, however, has been bending over backwards because they don&#8217;t want to tick off their faculty and students. The ideological capture of these universities happened decades ago during the late 1960s with student protest movements that decided to take over campuses and threaten actual deans; then, the deans did nothing because their liberal mindset back in the 1960s was that they had to respect what the students were saying, even if those students were violating the law. 
For two full generations, college administrations have been completely captured by the radicals. All those student radicals ended up as the administrators at these universities, and then they hired like-minded professors. That’s why professors are joining in all of this mayhem.
People keep asking, why are these universities doing this? Why are they allowing this?
The universities are allowing this because they are completely staffed by people who agree with the demonstrators.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/palestinians" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Palestinian</a> terrorists opened fire on a pier this week that U.S. forces are constructing in the Mediterranean Sea to help bring aid into the Gaza Strip.
The mortar attack happened on Wednesday as United Nations officials and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were touring the project off the coast of central Gaza.
“The terrorist organizations continue to systematically harm humanitarian efforts while risking the lives of UN workers, while Israel allows the supply of aid to the residents of the Gaza Strip,” the IDF said.
The U.N. confirmed that there was a terrorist attack on the site while they were inspecting the pier, according to <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/idf-says-mortar-fired-at-under-construction-gaza-aid-pier-as-un-officials-toured-site/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Times of Israel</a>.
Although there are multiple Palestinian terrorist groups inside Gaza, no specific group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The Associated Press <a href="https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2024/04/25/us-led-gaza-humanitarian-aid-pier-comes-under-fire-un-officials-say/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that an official for Hamas told the publication that it will &#8220;resist any foreign military presence involved with the port project.&#8221;
The report said that aid groups have expressed serious concern about their safety given the presence of the terrorist groups and the fact that the area is an active war zone.

The U.S. Department of Defense signaled on Thursday that it was monitoring the situation after the attack reportedly caused some damage in the marshaling yard area for U.S. delivery of humanitarian aid off the coast of Gaza.
President Joe Biden&#8217;s pier project in Gaza is expected to cost U.S. taxpayers approximately $200 million for only a few months of operations, ABC News <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/cost-us-effort-build-humanitarian-aid-pier-off/story?id=108340419#:~:text=President%20Joe%20Biden's%20plan%20to,million%2C%20ABC%20News%20has%20learned." target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
&#8220;No U.S. boots will be on the ground,&#8221; Biden claimed when he announced the project last month. &#8220;A temporary pier will enable a massive increase in the amount of humanitarian assistance getting into Gaza every day.&#8221;

The group, according to <a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2024/4/23/harvard-psc-suspended/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Harvard Crimson</a>, had been ordered as of Monday to &#8220;cease all organizational activities for the remainder of the Spring 2024 term,&#8221; and students who defied that order were reportedly threatened with possible expulsion.
The PSC had been placed on probation in March, The Crimson reported, adding that school administrators had gone through with the suspension after the group had failed to &#8220;register&#8221; a Friday protest and had &#8220;violated protest guidelines regarding responsible use of space.&#8221;
&#8220;The organization will not be recognized and will not have access to university benefits and services during this time, including but not limited to use of campus space and appropriate use of the Harvard name,&#8221; the email informing the PSC of their suspension stated. &#8220;If the organization continues to operate and commits additional violations during this suspension, the organization risks permanent expulsion, as provided in the Resource Guide.&#8221;

The PSC released a statement in response to the suspension, claiming that they had endured &#8220;months of administrative repression, harassment and stalking by our own peers, and intimidation from right-wing politicians and donors.&#8221;
&#8220;After standing idly by as pro-Palestine students faced physical and cyber harassment, death threats and rape threats, and racist doxxing, Harvard has now decided to dismantle the only official student group dedicated to the task of representing the Palestinian cause,&#8221; the group complained.

Pro-Hamas Group Launches Gaza Encampment After Harvard Suspends Them

Education

Harvard

It wasn&#8217;t too long ago that Columbia University, like pretty much every school in the country, shut down in-person classes because of COVID. 
In fact, when Columbia&#8217;s current class of seniors began attending the school as freshmen four years ago, they had to log in to virtual classes — for their entire freshmen year. Supposedly, this was a once-in-a-lifetime event. Extreme times require extreme measures, those students were told. Never mind that those measures were pointless and did far more harm than good, of course.
Now, just a couple of years later, extreme times are back, and once again, lockdown measures are apparently required. Columbia has just shut down in-person classes yet again, in favor of mandatory &#8220;virtual learning,&#8221; for the last week of the semester. And those same Columbia seniors who had to attend online classes as freshmen are now being told to do it again as seniors.
But this time around, the reason that on-campus classes are suspended is that Columbia has been overrun by a mob of anti-Israel protesters who have occupied the lawn on campus and, in some cases, were captured on camera harassing and even explicitly <a href="https://x.com/emilykschrader/status/1782090351945085254">threatening</a> Jewish students with violence.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="001 Protest B Roll" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3cS7qzsLC6Y?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The people occupying the lawn — most of them students — say they won&#8217;t leave until Columbia divests from &#8220;anything related to Israel.&#8221; And for some reason, Columbia didn&#8217;t immediately have these students arrested and expelled, which would have been very easy to do, and should have been done. It wasn’t, so the debacle continues. Other schools like NYU, the University of Mexico — and even &#8220;Cal Poly Humboldt&#8221; have seen similar protests.
At this rate, it seems unlikely that Columbia University&#8217;s campus will even exist in a few years. The university will probably become an online program like the University of Phoenix. The quad will transform into CHAZ 2.0, run by some theater student posing as a warlord, that&#8217;s where this is headed. The people running Columbia, like the rest of the Ivy League, very clearly don&#8217;t have any strong interest in teaching students. They&#8217;ve made it extremely clear that they&#8217;re easy to walk all over, so of course, this will keep happening.
At the same time — regardless of whether these administrators are cowards or simply incompetent or both — it&#8217;s clear that these protests serve a purpose that&#8217;s much bigger than Columbia University.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1354-here-s-the-proof-that-the-free-palestine-movement-is-just-blm-repackaged-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h4>
The disruption, it just so happens, is dominating the national news cycle right on schedule: in the spring before a presidential election. Usually we see a race riot right around this time — and as I&#8217;ve <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-media-nominates-their-new-george-floyd">discussed</a> before, there&#8217;s been no shortage of attempts by the media this year to incite them. But those attempts have all failed. And now, instead of race riots, right on cue, we have this insurgent movement to &#8220;Free Palestine.&#8221; Which is really just a race riot, repackaged, and draped in a green, black, and white flag.
These students, for the most part, don’t necessarily see this as a BLM reboot, but that’s what it is, and that’s what political forces much more powerful than the students are determined to turn it into. Those forces see an opportunity that really has very little to do with Israel or Gaza. And if they succeed, there will be a lot of violence and disruption this year that extends far beyond Columbia and Morningside Heights.
If you look around, it&#8217;s not hard to find hints that this is what&#8217;s going on. For example, take a look at what happened last night to pro-Hamas protesters who gathered outside the home of Chuck Schumer, the Senate Majority Leader. These are protesters who, for the most part, have had a free run of the campus of one of the top universities in the United States for several days. But watch what happens the moment they get near Schumer&#8217;s house:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="002 Schumer Home Protests" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vmYKMg-RMTE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
What&#8217;s amazing about this footage is that, as you might remember, Left-wing activists recently gathered outside the home of Supreme Court justices — including Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett — for weeks on end. That was part of an overt effort to intimidate the justices ahead of the Dobbs decision. But at no point were the demonstrators arrested for picketing in front of the justices&#8217; homes, even though it was a violation of federal law. The Biden administration refused to do anything about it. It was like a scene out of a third-world country.
The only guy they arrested literally called 911 and told them he wanted to murder Kavanaugh. That&#8217;s what it took to get some kind of police response.
But with Schumer, the rules are different. Hamas sympathizers and anti-Israel protesters can do what they want at NYU and Columbia and the University of Mexico and Cal Poly. The one thing they can&#8217;t do is disturb Chuck Schumer. So there are still rules, even amid all the anarchy. They just benefit the members of one political party.
As it happens, that&#8217;s not the only indication that what we&#8217;re seeing here is a kind of political operation. The Washington Examiner recently <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/2974413/major-columbia-protest-organizers-left-wing-donors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published</a> a deep-dive into the groups that have played a major role in promoting these Columbia protests. One of these groups is called &#8220;Jewish Voice for Peace&#8221; or JVP, which is a pro-Palestinian organization. They&#8217;ve helped with pro-Palestinian protests that have occurred not only at Columbia, but also at Harvard, UNC Chapel Hill, Ohio State, and Boston University. And, as the Examiner reports, JVP is &#8220;supported by far-left George Soros&#8217;s Open Society Network, and since 2016 has hauled in at least $650,000 from Soros-connected groups.&#8221;
Well, that&#8217;s interesting, especially if you were told that the protests at Columbia were entirely spontaneous — and entirely student-run, student-funded and student-organized. Now we&#8217;re learning that Soros-linked money is somehow involved in what&#8217;s happening at Columbia. As you probably remember, Soros-affiliated entities famously <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/13/us/politics/george-soros-racial-justice-organizations.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poured</a> millions of dollars into so-called &#8220;racial justice initiatives&#8221; beginning four years ago, the last time we had national riots. These entities also helped elect quite a few D.A.s all over the country who promised to further BLM&#8217;s agenda by refusing to prosecute criminals. Now, according to the Examiner, Soros&#8217; Open Society Network is indirectly bankrolling some of what&#8217;s happening at Columbia, or at least the organizations involved in it.
And it gets worse. Democrats like Cori Bush and Ilhan Omar have blamed the physical violence and threatening rhetoric at these protests on so-called outside agitators. These are sitting members of Congress in the Democratic Party making that claim. They&#8217;re asserting that these agitators have nothing to do with the actual protest. But as the journalist Park MacDougald has <a href="https://x.com/hpmcd1/status/1782924163121856608" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pointed</a> out, one of the other key organizers of the Columbia protest — Students for Justice in Palestine, or SJP — is a subsidiary of the same nonprofit as one of these alleged &#8220;outside agitators,&#8221; a group called Within our Lifetimes, or WOL. The nonprofit is called the WESPAC Foundation.  In other words, there&#8217;s no daylight here between the &#8220;outside agitators&#8221; and the protesters. They are one and the same. And who funds the WESPAC Foundation, you ask? As MacDougald points out, WESPAC <a href="https://x.com/Scrollletter/status/1782838777838227669" target="_blank" rel="noopener">takes</a> a lot of money from the Tides Foundation, which in turn, has also received significant funding from the one and only George Soros.
As always, all roads lead back to Soros.
So this is starting to look like more than an isolated protest. It&#8217;s looking more like a broader and more general astroturfed effort to destabilize the country and stoke racial resentment, with the full endorsement of the Democratic Party.
There are some pretty clear signs that some of these students understand that, too.
Take the group called &#8220;Columbia University Apartheid Divest,&#8221; or CUAD. That&#8217;s a large coalition of more than 116 groups — including JVP — that are organizing the occupation at Columba Right now. Some of those groups include the &#8220;Columbia University Black Pre-Professional Society,&#8221; and &#8220;White Coats 4 Black Lives.&#8221;
You might be wondering why exactly a group of med students and other &#8220;pre-professionals&#8221; who support BLM also happen to be in lockstep in opposition to Israel and in support of Hamas. How exactly are these interests so perfectly aligned?
If you ask these students, they&#8217;ll probably tell you what Ilhan Omar&#8217;s daughter would tell you. She&#8217;s a student at Columbia who was just arrested for participating in this illegal encampment, and she&#8217;s also an avowed BLM activist. They would all say that they&#8217;re just really interested in defending allegedly marginalized people, wherever they may be — here or in Gaza. And that probably is what many of these students believe. They see anyone who&#8217;s non-white as a marginalized person. They see this as conflict between “whiteness” and marginalized people of color. For them, this is a struggle against white power structures and systemic racism and colonialism. Whiteness is the real villain here. Ask them and they will tell you this.
In reality does the war in Israel having anything to do with whiteness or systemic racism or anything like that? Of course not. But that’s how they see it. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t care. At least they certainly wouldn’t care as much as they do. There was no occupation of university campuses over the Ukraine invasion. That’s because, though leftist’s like to pretend they care about Ukraine, when it comes down to it both parties are equally white. There’s only so much sympathy they can really have for white people, even the ones in Ukraine.
But things start to get a little confusing when you look at other groups that have signed onto this collective at Columbia. They <a href="https://cuapartheiddivest.org/our-coalition">include</a> the &#8220;Columbia Queer Alliance,&#8221; the &#8220;Queer Graduate Collective,&#8221; and my personal favorite, the &#8220;Student Organization of Latines&#8221; — or “SOL.&#8221; Those are groups that, if they stepped foot in Gaza, would immediately be stoned to death. Hamas doesn&#8217;t exactly take kindly to the sorts of people who call themselves queer. So it&#8217;s a little harder to explain their membership in this coalition. But it becomes less difficult if you see these protests as many Democratic Party leaders see them — which is yet another opportunity for the Democratic Party and their various activist groups to terrorize millions of people and derail the national conversation in an election year.
It&#8217;s not exactly surprising that colleges, once again, are ground-zero for this effort. Universities have been fomenting this kind of radicalism for decades, and now they&#8217;re reaping exactly what they&#8217;ve been sowing. None of these universities deserve our sympathy. And for that matter, none of them deserve the benefit of student loan forgiveness programs, either. If anyone should pay for these students&#8217; loans, it&#8217;s the endowments of these schools, which are now so dysfunctional that it borders on comical.
Here for example are protesters late last night at Columbia, talking about dispersing into platoons so they&#8217;ll be harder to arrest:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="003 Defend The Protest Encampment" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gVQSjamk0gU?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
They&#8217;re comrades in arms, ready to fight for whatever the cause of the day is. As Aaron Sibarium points out, these protesters want to make it as difficult as possible for the police to remove them — so that when they are removed, they can claim to be victims. That is their overriding motivation here.
What they may not know, although it&#8217;s pretty obvious at this point, is that they&#8217;re not simply idiots. In an election year, they&#8217;re useful idiots. And in the next few months, the party that controls the government right now is going to take full advantage of them.

A pro-Palestinian passenger berated Democratic New York City Mayor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/eric-adams" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eric Adams</a>, slamming him over his support for Israel, as he flew home from Miami after speaking at the 2024 Concordia Americas Summit.
Adams was in Florida to speak about the migrant crisis and the impact on local communities when border states transported illegal immigrants to self-described &#8220;sanctuary cities&#8221; like New York City — but the topic quickly turned to Israel when he boarded a plane to head for home.

&#8220;Why are you even in Miami? You know there are people being arrested there? People are homeless in New York. People cannot afford food. You keep cutting the education budget so that you can fund the police. That’s all you care about, funding the police. Everything is underfunded because of you.&#8221;

Adams recently issued a public statement on the anti-Semitic protests at Columbia University — which have gotten so heated that the University president switched the campus to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/demand-a-refund-critics-slam-columbia-univ-as-anti-israel-protests-force-hybrid-classes-until-years-end" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remote and hybrid classes</a> for the remainder of the semester &#8212; warning students that police &#8220;will not hesitate to arrest&#8221; protesters if they deem it necessary.
&#8220;I am horrified and disgusted with the antisemitism being spewed at and around the Columbia University campus — like the example of a young woman holding a sign with an arrow pointing to Jewish students stating &#8216;Al-Qasam’s Next Targets,&#8217; or another where a woman is literally yelling &#8216;We are Hamas,&#8217; or another where groups of students are chanting &#8216;We don’t want no Zionists here&#8217; — and I condemn this hate speech in the strongest of terms,&#8221; Adams said.

NYC Mayor Harassed On Plane Over Support For Israel

Faculty members at Morehouse College, one of the country&#8217;s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), are worried about a planned commencement speech by President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> planned for next month amid student protests over the Israel-Hamas war.
Kendrick Brown, the provost and senior vice president for academic affairs at the college in Georgia, wrote an email to staff that said he &#8220;received an inquiry from concerned faculty about rumors they were hearing about President Biden’s selection as the 2024 Commencement speaker,” <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe-biden/biden-speak-morehouse-college-commencement-rcna148870" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to NBC News</a>.
A virtual meeting was planned for Thursday &#8220;to extend an opportunity for faculty with different perspectives on the selection of our Commencement speaker to ask questions and make comments,&#8221; Brown wrote, adding that students &#8220;also will engage&#8221; with college President David Thomas. He concluded, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/23/politics/joe-biden-morehouse-college/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">per CNN</a>, &#8220;Please know going into this conversation that the College does not plan to rescind its accepted invitation to President Biden.&#8221;
The speech is <a href="https://twitter.com/Morehouse/status/1782917316457488412" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scheduled</a> to happen on Sunday, May 19, on the college&#8217;s Century Campus. It would come as Biden is running for another term in the White House and polls show that young, black voters are <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-campaign-performs-damage-control-as-black-voters-break-away" target="_blank" rel="noopener">not as energized</a> about him as they were in 2020 and may be warming up to former President Donald Trump. Biden also has plans to <a href="https://www.stripes.com/branches/army/2024-04-23/west-point-biden-commencement-cadets-army-13634051.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">speak</a> at West Point&#8217;s graduation on May 25.
Morehouse students <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19sfxl1eZWg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who spoke with WXIA-TV</a>, an NBC affiliate in Atlanta, shared mixed reactions to the commencement speech plans. One sophomore reportedly told the news outlet that he does not support the president speaking at the college, citing the Biden administration&#8217;s support of Israel amid its months-long fight against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. &#8220;At the end of the day, this is kind of like something that&#8217;s on his political agenda to kind of maybe get more young, black voters,&#8221; he added.

The letter said Morehouse should &#8220;reconsider its attachment&#8221; to Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., who attended the school and held the stance that &#8220;war is a hell that diminishes&#8221; humanity, if it does not rescind its invitation to Biden.
Anti-Israel protests have sprung up on college campuses around the country, including <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/demand-a-refund-critics-slam-columbia-univ-as-anti-israel-protests-force-hybrid-classes-until-years-end" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbia University</a>, leading to arrests and suspensions.

So far, the White House has not given any indication that Biden will skip the commencement speech at Morehouse. His deputy press secretary, Andrew Bates, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/23/politics/joe-biden-morehouse-college/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> reporters on Tuesday that the &#8220;president looks forward to speaking to graduates on their special day and thanking their parents, friends, and loved ones for all of their support.&#8221;

Historically Black College Frets Biden Speech As Campus Tensions Rise Over Israel-Hamas War

College

Georgia

Joe Biden

A Qatari representative to the Arab Parliament, Essa bin Ahmad Al-Nassr, reportedly recently said that there can be &#8220;no peace or negotiations&#8221; with Israel and that Hamas&#8217; October 7 terrorist attacks were only the prelude to Israel&#8217;s destruction.
The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) <a href="https://www.memri.org/tv/qatar-shura-council-member-essa-nassr-october7-introduction-annihilation-zionist-state-no-peace-prophet-slayers">translated</a> his remarks that were posted Monday on social media. According to the Qatari Shura website, he was promoted in Qatar&#8217;s military to an assistant commander of the Emiri Guard for Intelligence and Security at the rank of brigadier general.
He also holds positions on the Financial and Economic Affairs Committee and the Cultural and Media Affairs Committee, among others.
His remarks come as President Joe Biden has largely relied on the Qataris to try to negotiate with Hamas to release the Israeli and American hostages that it kidnapped on October 7. While some hostages have been released, many remain in captivity or have been <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2023/10/09/israel-hamas-hostage-death/">killed</a> while in Hamas custody.
Biden has since <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-demands-israel-enact-immediate-ceasefire-against-hamas-terrorists-seems-to-blame-israel-for-hostages-not-being-freed">appeared</a> to blame Israel for the hostages not being released and has demanded that they enact an &#8220;immediate ceasefire&#8221; in-exchange for nothing from Hamas.
&#8220;There can be no peace or negotiations with the Zionist entity, for one reason and one reason only: Their faith does not allow for negotiations,&#8221; Al-Nassr claimed, according to a translation provided by MEMRI. &#8220;Rather, it (condones) deception, the violation of agreements, and lies. Indeed, over 22 years have passed since the Arab Initiative was introduced, and they are yet to accept it. They only accept one thing — killing. They are the slayers of the prophets.&#8221;

&#8220;The Al-Aqsa Flood operation is only the prelude to the annihilation of the corruption that the Zionist entity has spread in the land for the second time,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Inshallah, this will spell the beginning of the end for their state, once they have gathered in the land of Palestine, as Allah says in the Quran: &#8216;And we said to the Children of Israel, dwell in the land, but when the second of the warnings came to pass, we gathered you together in a mingled crowd.'&#8221;
He concluded: &#8220;Indeed, they are gathering together in the Land of Resurrection, the land of Palestine, the land where the next generation will fight, whether we like it or not. As-Salaam Alaikum and Allah’s blessings.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/columbia-university" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbia University</a> is under fire yet again after a memo went out late on Monday informing all students and staff that remote or hybrid learning would be the standard until the semester ends.
The announcement came as anti-Israel and anti-Semitic protests have created an environment — on Columbia&#8217;s campus and at other colleges such as Yale — where Jewish students <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/columbia-rabbi-warns-of-extreme-antisemitism-advises-jewish-students-to-return-home-asap">do not feel safe</a>. After protesters chanted slogans calling for the genocide of Jews and the destruction of Israel — and one protester was seen holding a sign calling on Al Qasam (the militant wing of the terrorist group Hamas) to target fellow students who carried Israeli and American flags — classes initially were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/columbia-university-moves-to-remote-learning-as-campus-rancor-puts-jewish-students-on-edge">switched to remote</a> for the day on Monday.
But by Monday afternoon, as tensions had not cooled, the Office of the Provost put out <a href="https://provost.columbia.edu/news/guidelines-teaching-student-accommodations-and-staff-campus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new guidance</a> for the remainder of the term:
<blockquote>It’s vital that teaching and learning continue during this time. We recognize conditions vary across our campuses and thus are issuing the following guidelines:
Morningside main campus: All courses hybrid &#8211; classroom technology permitting &#8211; until the end of each school’s Spring 2024 semester with the following carveouts and further details below.
Arts/Practice-based programs: in-person with generous accommodations supported by school deans and staff.
Medical Center and Manhattanville: in-person operation as usual, but granting accommodations based on religious reasons, or approved disability accommodations.</blockquote>
&#8220;If the class does not permit adapting to the remote offering format, we encourage faculty to provide other accommodations liberally to students who have requested support for virtual learning this week,&#8221; the memo continued, also encouraging support staff to work from home if at all possible.
Critics slammed Columbia for moving to remote/hybrid learning, saying that the school had chosen to cave to the protesters rather than dealing with them.

‘Demand A Refund’: Critics Slam Columbia Univ. As Anti-Israel Protests Force ‘Hybrid’ Classes Until Year’s End

'Demand A Refund': Critics Slam Columbia Univ. As Anti-Israel Protests Force 'Hybrid' Classes Until Year's End

Jewish

Tova Friedman was just six years old when she walked out of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/visiting-auschwitz-and-why-it-matters-today" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Auschwitz</a>, and after dedicating herself to teaching others about the horrors of the Holocaust, she issued a stark warning to those who seem unwilling to crack down on the anti-Semitism rearing its head on college campuses in the United States.
Friedman made an appearance Tuesday on Fox News, where she predicted inevitable &#8220;tragedy&#8221; if something was not done to stop the growing &#8220;cancer&#8221; of anti-Semitism.
Responding to videos of protesters — on Ivy League college campuses like Columbia and Yale — telling Jewish students to go back to Poland and actively cheering on the brutal actions of Hamas terrorists, Friedman called the imagery &#8220;shocking.&#8221;
&#8220;It is shocking! It is utterly shocking! You know, when I walked out of Auschwitz with my mother, walking through these gates, and I thought — I was six and a half, and I was a very adult six and a half, not like a child, you know? And I said I will never, never have anybody call me a dirty Jew or anything else again. I am free now,&#8221; she said.
It was another five years before Friedman would see the &#8220;promised land&#8221; of the United States — and now, she worries that &#8220;tragedy&#8221; will befall her new country if nothing is done to stop the hatred.

&#8220;I just want to say that if this isn’t contained and if they don’t think about it, what is going to be the end product? What is the end product of any hatred and prejudice? It is death to somebody. Could be death to themselves. Death to their opponents. Because we didn’t stop Hitler,&#8221; she said.
&#8220;That type of behavior and anger and hatred can only end up in tragedy. Tragedy for everybody. Not only tragedy for the Jews, God forbid, tragedy for themselves, which is — it’s going to be a terrible clash. We have to find a way to stop it. I think of it as a virus or like a cancer,&#8221; Friedman concluded. &#8220;If you don’t stop it early, it kills the body.&#8221;

Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cori-bush" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cori Bush</a> (D-MO) got some serious backlash after she attempted to parlay her personal experience protesting in Ferguson, Missouri, into a defense of the anti-Israel — and often anti-Semitic — protests sweeping across college campuses like Columbia University.
Bush, who has often touted her &#8220;street cred&#8221; as a protester in Ferguson, claimed that she had witnessed firsthand what happened when protests were &#8220;infiltrated&#8221; by people who wanted to make them appear violent and lawless.
&#8220;As a Ferguson activist, I know what it’s like to have agitators infiltrate our movement, manipulate the press, &amp; fuel the suppression of dissent by public officials &amp; law enforcement. We must reject these tactics to silence anti-war activists demanding divestment from genocide,&#8221; she posted via X.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
But as many critics were quick to point out, the protests in Ferguson were based on a lie — &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-media-is-still-lying-about-michael-brown-9-years-later-heres-why" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hands up, don&#8217;t shoot!</a>&#8221; — claiming that 18-year-old Michael Brown had not been attempting to attack police officer Darren Wilson and take his gun when he was shot and killed.
In the weeks following Brown&#8217;s death, protesters attacked police and burned their own city to the ground — destroying businesses and decimating property values. Despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary — including an assessment made by former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-loony-documentarian-loses-mind-after-hes-frank-camp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Attorney General Eric Holder</a> — many, like Bush, still maintain that Brown was &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sitting-members-of-congress-and-more-commemorate-ferguson-police-shooting-by-lying-about-it" target="_blank" rel="noopener">murdered</a>.&#8221;

Bush&#8217;s defense of the anti-Semitic campus protests mirrored almost exactly the words of Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ilhan-omar-tries-to-defend-columbia-protesters-and-her-daughter-and-it-backfires-immediately" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ilhan Omar</a> — whose daughter was among those arrested at Columbia University for instigating the protests.
&#8220;Throughout history, protests were co-opted and made to look bad so police and public leaders would shut them down. That’s what we are seeing now at Columbia University,” Omar claimed. “The Columbia protesters have made clear their demands and want their school not to be complacent in the ongoing Genocide in Gaza. Public officials and media making this about anything else are inflaming the situation and need to bring calmness and sanity back.&#8221;

Television host Mike Rowe unloaded on the anti-Semitic protesters that have swarmed Ivy League college campuses like Columbia University and Yale, saying that he hadn&#8217;t seen any reports of trade-school students &#8220;calling for the extermination of Jews.&#8221;
Rowe shared his thoughts in a lengthy X post, arguing that parents dismayed by what they saw on college campuses should consider throwing their support and funding into programs like his mikeroweWORKS Foundation instead.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
For a guy who runs a foundation that sends young people to trade schools all over America – trade schools where I’m pleased to report, no one is calling for the extermination of Jews – today’s headlines are once again offering another excellent reason to consider redirecting…
&mdash; The Real Mike Rowe (@mikeroweworks) <a href="https://twitter.com/mikeroweworks/status/1782515467556696120?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 22, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;For a guy who runs a foundation that sends young people to trade schools all over America – trade schools where I’m pleased to report, no one is calling for the extermination of Jews – today’s headlines are once again offering another excellent reason to consider redirecting whatever financial support you might earmark for the Ivy League, to the mikeroweWORKS Foundation,&#8221; Rowe began. &#8220;Why? Because the Ivy League has truly lost its mind.&#8221;
Rowe went on to mention the chaotic scene at Columbia — where &#8220;a noisy rabble of thugs and bullies calling for the eradication of Israel&#8221; had forced the university president to implement <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/columbia-university-moves-to-remote-learning-as-campus-rancor-puts-jewish-students-on-edge" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remote learning</a> to keep Jewish students safe.
&#8220;If I had a kid at Columbia, I’d be livid,&#8221; Rowe continued. &#8220;It’s simply mind-boggling that the president of this university would rather consign her students to another crucible of remote learning, than permanently expel the protesters. I mean, seriously, what does it take to get expelled from Columbia?&#8221;
Rowe went on to quote several of the Jewish students who said they had been berated by protesters. &#8220;&#8216;They yelled at us to go back to Poland, said we have no culture, and chanted, Strike, strike Tel Aviv,&#8217; said one terrified student,&#8221; Rowe quoted. &#8220;Followed by, &#8216;Burn Tel Aviv to the ground,&#8217; &#8216;Go Hamas, we love you, we support your rockets, too.'&#8221;
&#8220;In a now-infamous image, one demonstrator appeared before a group of counter-protesters holding Israeli and American flags with a sign pointing in their direction that read, &#8216;Al-Qasam’s next targets.&#8217; That’s what you get for $68,000 a year at Columbia – an administration who cowers in the face of thugs and bullies, and a university president who would rather make your kids try to learn off campus, than take a truly hard line with those students calling for the murder of Jews,&#8221; Rowe continued. &#8220;For the love of God, expel them. Calling for murder is not protected speech.&#8221;

Rowe then pivoted back to his own foundation, which provides scholarships for &#8220;hardworking men and women who will keep the lights on, water running, and air flowing — people who will show up early, stay late, and bust their asses to get the job done.&#8221;
&#8220;In the meantime, mikeroweWORKS is accepting applications for our next round of work ethic scholarships. Deadline is the end of the month,&#8221; Rowe concluded. &#8220;It’s worth noting that the careers we’re training people for cannot be taught, or preformed, remotely. It’s also worth mentioning that we accept donations year-round and spend the money we take in with great discretion. You can apply for a scholarship, or donate, at <a href="http://www.mikeroweworks.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mikeroweWORKS.org</a>.&#8221;
