Hundreds of activists attempting to march into Gaza this week in an attention-seeking, anti-Israel stunt were arrested and deported by Egpytian authorities before they made it to Gaza.
Around 200 activists from 80 countries were detained by Egyptian authorities on Thursday, according to one of the activists organizing the march, the Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/egypt-gaza-activists-march-blocked-rafah-sinai-917954d224c95b12f2550f5bde7f92af">reported</a>. Most of those arrested and deported were Algerians and Moroccans, while some were from the United States, Australia, Netherlands, France, and Spain. On Friday, dozens more anti-Israel activists were detained or deported as authorities stopped vehicles along the Sinai Peninsula, which leads to Rafah, according to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/egypt-deports-dozens-more-foreign-nationals-heading-march-gaza-2025-06-13/">Reuters</a>.
Israel warned on Wednesday that the march posed a threat to regional security and instructed its military to prevent any demonstrators from entering Gaza, The Times of Israel <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/egyptian-authorities-detain-hundreds-of-activists-planning-march-to-gaza/">reported</a>. The Israeli government urged Egypt &#8220;to prevent the arrival of jihadist protesters at the Egypt-Israel border,&#8221; arguing that they “would endanger the safety of [Israeli] soldiers and will not be allowed.”

A spokesman for the anti-Israel demonstrators said the marchers would wait for more clarity from the Egyptian government before attempting to march into Gaza. Libyan authorities stopped more demonstrators traveling with an aid convoy on Thursday before they reached the Egyptian border. Libya urged demonstrators to “engage in proper coordination with the official Libyan authorities through legal and diplomatic channels to ensure the safety of all participants and uphold the principles of solidarity with the Palestinian people.”
The arrests and deportations of the anti-Israel activists attempting to enter Gaza came days after Israeli forces <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/greta-thunbergs-flotilla-circled-by-israeli-forces-en-route-to-gaza?author=Kassy+Akiva&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=IDF+Intercepts+Greta+Thunberg%E2%80%99s+Freedom+Flotilla%3A+%E2%80%98The+Show+Is+Over%E2%80%99">detained</a> leftist activist Greta Thunberg and 11 of her pals, who were trying to reach Gaza on a &#8220;Freedom Flotilla.&#8221; Israel <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/israel-to-show-greta-thunberg-graphic-footage-of-hamas-october-7-massacre?author=Kassy+Akiva&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Israel+To+Show+Greta+Thunberg+Graphic+Footage+Of+Hamas%E2%80%99+October+7+Massacre">showed</a> Thunberg some of the footage from Hamas&#8217; brutal attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, before <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/greta-thunberg-deported-from-israel-after-selfie-yacht-intercepted?author=Nathan+Gay&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Greta+Thunberg+Deported+From+Israel+After+%E2%80%98Selfie+Yacht%E2%80%99+Intercepted">deporting</a> her and her fellow anti-Israel activists.
After Israel wiped out much of Hamas&#8217; leadership and took control of Gaza, the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) began handing out food and aid to people who remain in the Gaza Strip. Earlier this week, Hamas killed eight people working for the GHF in an attack on a bus that was en route to one of the aid distribution centers, The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hamas-kills-5-workers-for-u-s-backed-gaza-aid-program-in-bus-attack-others-feared-kidnapped">reported</a>.
“We condemn this heinous and deliberate attack in the strongest possible terms,” GHF said in a statement to The Daily Wire. “These were aid workers. Humanitarians. Fathers, brothers, sons, and friends, who were risking their lives every day to help others.&#8221;

Anti-ICE rioters, according to the latest reports from the Los Angeles Police Department, have been coordinating their efforts in part by communicating via two-way radios to share the locations of and actions taken by law enforcement, military, and federal agents.
Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin shared the latest details he&#8217;d received from the LAPD in an X post on Monday, reporting that dozens had already been arrested on a number of different charges and that at least five officers and police department horses had been injured while attempting to quell the unrest.
&#8220;NEW: LAPD announces that they made 50 arrests during the riots over the weekend, including charges for attempted murder w/ a Molotov cocktail, &amp; assault w/ a deadly weapon on an officer. Five officers and five LAPD horses have sustained minor injuries, and crowds were using hand held radios to communicate law enforcement movements to eachother, LAPD says,&#8221; Melugin posted.

The LAPD&#8217;s confirmation of coordinated action among the protesters lent credence to multiple reports claiming that the riots only look chaotic on the surface — and that underneath, they are well-organized and well-funded and being executed by people who have been well-trained.

Retired Army Colonel Kurt Schlicter assessed the situation in a <a href="https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2025/06/09/the-la-chaos-is-an-illusion-and-trump-will-not-fall-for-it-n2658455">Townhall column</a> published Monday, where he said that the chaos was all just &#8220;an illusion&#8221; meant to scare and intimidate people into compliance.
&#8220;This is not a battle of cops versus rioters; it is a battle between narratives. Most people see regime media video of Third World savages waving the tacky banners of their garbage homelands, lighting fires, hassling cops, and doing other things consistent with being barbarians, and think that Los Angeles is in chaos and therefore get scared,&#8221; Schlicter wrote. &#8220;The idea behind this color revolution – it is organized and planned, not spontaneous or genuine – is to intimidate normal people into submitting and embracing the politicians associated with its goals in the hopes that it will stop. This is the work of the Democrat Party; the rioters are its useful idiots, acting to support the party’s goals while it&#8217;s maintaining deniability.&#8221;
A thread from @wokal_distance laid out the strategies employed by coordinated protests — strategies designed first to ultimately ensure that law enforcement has no reasonable alternative to using force, and then to ensure that when they do use force, they are on camera and the protesters on the front lines put the most sympathetic faces possible (babies, the elderly) on the movement.
&#8220;The riots happening in LA are not organic or spontaneous. They&#8217;re designed to look chaotic to cover up the fact that they&#8217;re well funded, exceptionally organized, and carried out by well trained activists using intelligent, highly developed tactics,&#8221; the thread began.

Michigan Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel dropped all charges against seven University of Michigan students on Monday, a twist that shocked defense attorneys after Nessel had pushed for felony charges against the anti-Israel protesters.
The seven students faced misdemeanor charges of trespassing and felony charges of resisting and obstructing police stemming from an anti-Israel protest on Michigan&#8217;s campus last year, The Detroit Free Press <a href="https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2025/05/05/michigan-attorney-general-dana-nessel-drops-all-charges-university-michigan-diag-protesters/83452242007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. The courtroom, which was packed with people supporting the anti-Israel students, erupted in cheers and chants of &#8220;Free Palestine&#8221; when it was announced that the charges had been dropped.
Last September, Nessel pushed for the felony charges against the students, which could have put them behind bars for up to two years if they had been convicted. The attorney general alleged that the protesters used &#8220;physical force to counter&#8221; police officers who were attempting to clear them out of the area.
Nessel, who is Jewish, was pressured to recuse herself from the case last month as critics alleged that she was biased against Muslims. Nessel said that a letter from the Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor defending her amid the accusations influenced her decision to drop the charges. The Democratic attorney general claimed that the letter — which said that Nessel &#8220;has a strong history of uplifting those in both the Muslim and Arab American communities&#8221; — was inappropriate.
&#8220;We have learned that a public statement in support of my office from a local nonprofit has been directly communicated to the court,&#8221; Nessel said. &#8220;The impropriety of this action has led us to the difficult decision to drop these charges.&#8221;
The defendants, Oliver Kozler, Samantha Lewis, Henry MacKeen-Shapiro, Michael Mueller, Asad Siddiqui, Avi Tachna-Fram, and Rhiannon Willow, were also surprised by the decision and will now walk away from the charges in this case. Lewis, who said she faces charges in a separate case over another protest, mocked the attorney general, saying that &#8220;the possibility of recusal was going to be so embarrassing for Nessel that she just couldn&#8217;t bear it.&#8221;
&#8220;And so while all of us, and that includes all of you, refused to cower, she did. And that just goes to show that the bullies and badges and the top pig are just cowards,&#8221; Lewis told a group of her supporters.
The University of Michigan called in police to <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/police-break-palestinian-camp-university-michigan-rcna153229" target="_blank" rel="noopener">break up</a> an anti-Israel encampment on its campus last May as university leadership faced calls to push back on antisemitism at the school. Michigan was one of the numerous universities where anti-Israel students set up camp in the spring of 2024, disrupting campus life and forcing schools to ask law enforcement for help in dispersing the protesters.

Prosecutors on Thursday filed felony charges against 12 pro-Palestinian protesters who allegedly broke into a Stanford University administration building last year, causing extensive damage that could now land them behind bars for up to three years.
Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen charged 11 current or former Stanford students and one other individual with felony vandalism and felony conspiracy to trespass.
On June 5, 2024, police arrested 13 people alleged to have been involved in breaking into and subsequently barricading themselves inside the Stanford president’s office that morning, demanding that the university boycott and divest from companies associated with the Israeli government.
“Dissent is American. Vandalism is criminal,” Rosen <a href="https://da.santaclaracounty.gov/stanford-protesters-charged-destructive-building-takeover">said</a>. “There is a bright line between making a point and committing a crime. These defendants crossed the line into criminality when they broke into those offices, barricaded themselves inside, and started a calculated plan of destruction.”
The protesters face up to three years and eight months in prison, plus restitution payments if convicted.
Most of the 3,000+ individuals arrested at pro-Palestinian demonstrations last year <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/us/stanford-protesters-palestine-felony.html">faced</a> misdemeanor charges or had their cases dismissed, according to the New York Times.
Prosecutors said protesters attempted to scrub their involvement by deleting messaging apps from their phones after their arrest. Investigators said they found evidence that they had preemptively surveilled the building, studied security patterns, and assigned specific roles in the break-in.
Police <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/education/5244334-pro-palestinian-protesters-stanford-felony-charges/">recovered</a> backpacks containing hammers, chisels, crowbars, and goggles from the scene. The damage inside included broken windows, disabled security cameras, and fake blood splashed throughout the offices.
&#8220;Whenever you have multiple people working together to commit a crime, it&#8217;s much more dangerous to the public,&#8221; Rosen stated. &#8220;Speech is protected by the First Amendment. Vandalism is prosecuted under the Penal Code.&#8221;
Red graffiti appeared on campus buildings the same morning with messages like &#8220;Pigs Taste Best Dead&#8221; and &#8220;Death to Israehell.&#8221;
Stanford is among dozens of schools currently under investigation by the Trump administration regarding their handling of anti-Israel protests. The university had previously imposed its own sanctions, including two-quarter suspensions for student protesters.
Rosen emphasized that he does not wish to see the Stanford protesters serve prison time despite the serious charges.
Rather than contending with a lengthy legal battle, Rosen instead proposed sentencing the vandals to community service in the Santa Clara County Sheriff&#8217;s work program if they pleaded guilty, where they would clean highways or government buildings.
&#8220;This is kind of biblical,&#8221; Rosen said. &#8220;You trashed a building, so your punishment should be cleaning things up.&#8221;
Stanford spokeswoman Dee Mostofi said the university respects Rosen&#8217;s charging decisions, noting that Stanford had already imposed its own sanctions on student protesters, including two-quarter suspensions, delays in degree conferrals, and community service hours.

Odai al-Rabei, a 22-year-Gazan who has been involved in anti-Hamas protests, was abducted from Gaza City, tortured, and murdered by terrorists before being returned to his family home, according to his family.
Graphic images of al-Rabei’s mutilated body went viral on social media showing the extent of the torture by Hamas’s al-Qassam brigades terrorists.
Odai’s family was <a href="https://x.com/HowidyHamza/status/1906079616747315281">seen in a video</a> accusing a “sinful, rogue group affiliated with the Qassem Brigades” of the act, adding that “they dragged him and tortured him to death with all kinds of hard tools.”
The family added that the “unjust criminals” should face an “iron fist.”
“Odai fasted Ramadan, he prayed, and he read the Quran,” the family added. “We call on all human rights organizations and institutions to stand in support of the people of Gaza against these criminals. O Allah, take revenge.”
At his funeral procession, thousands of participants voiced their rage chanting, “In spirit and blood we’ll redeem you, Odai,” and “Out, out, out! Hamas out!” <a href="https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-848143">according to the Jerusalem Post</a>.
<a href="https://x.com/HowidyHamza">According to</a> Palestinian activist Hamza Howidy, in Odai’s last video posted to social media, he spoke about Hamas terrorizing his family and shooting his brother. 
Gazans <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rare-anti-hamas-protests-erupt-in-gaza-as-residents-call-for-peace">took to the streets</a> three days last week all around the strip, calling for an end to Hamas rule, in a rare display of opposition to the terrorist group. Protesters marched through Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza carrying white flags, demanding Hamas end its rule, and calling for the Israeli hostages to be released.
Israeli Prime Minister <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/netanyahu-hamas-gaza-protests-israel">Benjamin Netanyahu said</a> the rare anti-Hamas protests in the streets of Gaza over the past two days are proof that Israel’s policies are working.
“In recent days, we have seen something we have never seen before — public protests against Hamas rule in Gaza,” Netanyahu said in the Knesset, <a href="https://www.jns.org/netanyahu-gaza-protests-against-hamas-proof-our-policy-is-working/">Jewish News Syndicate reported</a>. “This shows that our policy is working.”
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz praised the protesters and encouraged others to join in, calling it the “only way to stop the war.”
“Learn from the residents of Beit Lahiiya, as they did, you should also demand the removal of Hamas from Gaza and the immediate release of all Israeli hostages,” Katz said. “This is the only way to stop the war.”
He added that military operations will soon spread in Gaza, which may require more evacuations from combat zones.
“The plans are ready and approved. Hamas is risking your life and will make you lose your homes and more and more land that will be added to the Israeli defense array,” Katz said.
The protests marked the first time Gazans had taken to the streets to call for peace since January 2024, though those protests were smaller.
In recent weeks, Israel <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/israel-eliminates-dozens-of-top-hamas-leaders-following-ceasefire-collapse">eliminated</a> more than a dozen Hamas leaders, many of whom were key to maintaining Hamas’ control over Gaza’s population, beyond just its militant operations.
In addition to air strikes, IDF troops have begun ground activities in central and southern Gaza to create a buffer zone between the north and south of the strip.
“We eliminated tens of thousands of terrorists and senior murderers,” Netanyahu said while speaking during a debate in the Knesset, which his political opposition is able to call once a month. “As long as Hamas persists in refusing to release our hostages, the pressure we apply will become stronger and stronger. This includes capturing territories and other moves I will not elaborate on here.”
Netanyahu’s comments build on Katz’s threat to annex part of the Gaza Strip if Hamas continues to refuse to release the 59 hostages held by the terror group.
“I have instructed the IDF to seize additional areas in Gaza, evacuate the population, and expand security zones around Gaza to protect Israeli communities and IDF soldiers,” Katz said, <a href="https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-847025">according</a> to The Jerusalem Post. “The more Hamas persists in its refusal to release the hostages, the more territory it will lose, which will be annexed to Israel.”

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had a stop on her book tour interrupted when anti-Israel protesters began heckling her, forcing host Katie Couric to pause their interview for a short time.
Pelosi was speaking with Couric at the New York City cultural center 92NY when protesters began shouting at them from the crowd, prompting the California congresswoman to push back, calling for a moment of prayer for the hostages who still remain in the hands of Hamas terrorists.

Pelosi was in the midst of explaining to Couric that part of the inspiration behind her book, &#8220;The Art of Power,&#8221; had been her &#8220;grave disagreement&#8221; with then-President George W. Bush on the Iraq War, and protesters used that to pivot to their own message.
&#8220;Nancy I&#8217;m glad you disagreed with the Iraqi war, but you do not disagree &#8230;&#8221; someone shouted from the audience, but the crowd began to boo, briefly drowning out the protester. A short time later, the same person could be heard shouting, &#8220;There&#8217;s children dying in Gaza.&#8221;
Pelosi waved off the criticism, saying, &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry about that, I&#8217;m from San Francisco, I&#8217;m used to this. They&#8217;ll get what they want, because all the press will say that I got interrupted.&#8221;

The former House Speaker then called on the audience to pray for the safe return of the hostages remaining in Gaza, in the custody of Hamas terrorists: &#8220;Let us bow our heads for the hostages, and be prayerful about the hostages, which they never mention.&#8221;
Pelosi has been heckled by anti-Israel protesters on several occasions, and has continued to defend President Joe Biden&#8217;s policies regarding the ongoing Israel-Hamas War.
&#8220;He has been very concerned about a two-state solution for the region. He has been such a strong supporter of humanitarian assistance for the people of Gaza,&#8221; Pelosi <a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2024/10/24/pelosi-book-talk-interrupted-by-protests/">said</a> in Massachusetts, despite the fact that Hamas has repeatedly stood in the way of any two-state solution and is the reason that much of the aid sent to the region does not get to the people of Gaza.
&#8220;We don&#8217;t want any children killed. There has to be a resolution of conflict that is not as savage as war,&#8221; she continued.

CHICAGO—A ragtag coalition of communists, anti-Israel demonstrators, revolutionary feminists, and more have descended on the Windy City to attack the Democratic Party and Vice President Kamala Harris from the Left.
The <a href="https://www.marchondnc2024.org/">March on the DNC</a> is comprised of more than 150 extremist groups that “support terrorism and/or identify as Marxist, communist, or anarchist,” <a href="https://capitalresearch.org/article/protests-and-chaos-at-the-democratic-national-convention-part-1/">according</a> to the Capital Research Center. Members of the coalition have praised Hamas, pushed for a communist revolution, and called for political violence. On Monday, members of the group toppled a <a href="https://x.com/FrontlinesTPUSA/status/1825655701370540310">barricade</a> outside the convention.

On Sunday, a group called “Behind Enemy Lines,” <a href="https://x.com/TheTonus/status/1825327471153344695">handed flyers out</a> at a smaller protest before the start of the convention. The extremist organization isn’t shy about its willingness to use violence to achieve its political goals.
“In Behind Enemy Lines, we strive to approach all of our political work with the discipline and seriousness required in the struggle against imperialism,” <a href="https://behind-enemy-lines.org/who-says-protesting-should-be-safe/">reads an article</a> on the group’s site. It goes on to praise the use of violence by Leftists during the Black Lives Matter riots.
“To borrow an example from some comrades: hundreds, if not thousands of protests against police killings took place in the summer of 2020,” the group says. “None of them were as effective in delivering a message than the burning of the 3rd Police Precinct in Minneapolis in a spontaneous outpouring of the rage of the masses, all done without group chats or the leadership of ‘experienced activists.’”
The protest attracted a wide range of different extreme Leftists, including one protester who openly sided with the terrorist organization Hamas, holding a sign that read “Armed resistance is the only answer. End Israel, stand with Hamas.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">

The Capital Research Center’s investigation indicates that this protester’s opinion may be commonplace among the other demonstrators. The group found that “the extremist groups have ties to or have expressed support for 19 foreign terrorist organizations,” including Hamas, Hezbollah, the Muslim Brotherhood, the Communist Party of the Philippines, and the Taliban, among others.
Monday’s protest, which began at Chicago’s Union Park, was primarily focused on the Israel-Palestine conflict, with the far-Left demonstrators accusing the Democratic Party, “genocide Joe,” and “killer Kamala,” of being complicit in genocide. Attendees heard from Dr. Cornel West, a leftwing activist and political candidate, who slammed the Democrats while speaking to The Daily Wire.
“Shame on the Democratic Party who can’t meet a low moral litmus test of calling genocide into question, you can’t deny it. Quit enabling it,” West said after giving a speech.

Other radical elements in attendance included the Revolutionary Communist Party, which distributed flyers blasting Harris as a “mass murderer and mass incarcerator” before calling on people to “seize on this rare opportunity to build up the basis for revolution.”

Police Superintendent Larry Snelling <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erlSGEz3Qwk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told reporters</a> on Tuesday there had been <a href="https://apnews.com/article/democratic-convention-chicago-protests-war-gaza-f064683535bbbe93231d31ecc2dbafc7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">13 arrests</a> on Monday, including at least 10 related to the breach.
The arrests revolved around instances of criminal trespassing, resisting and obstructing, as well as aggravated battery of police officers, Snelling added.
Snelling also said police had a conversation with the Secret Service and the location where the protesters had broken through was &#8220;fortified&#8221; to prevent another breach.

The first day of the DNC featured speeches from former Secretary of State and failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, First Lady Jill Biden, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and others.
President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>, who was pressured by allies to end his 2024 bid, rounded out the lineup with remarks touting his record and promoting Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a> to be his successor.
As he delivered his remarks, Biden appeared to go off script when <a href="https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1825747000509284840" target="_blank" rel="noopener">talking</a> about trying to reach a cease-fire deal in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza and securing the release of hostages.

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld mocked a pro-Palestinian protester over the weekend who disrupted another one of his comedy shows in Australia, saying that they just gave more money to a Jew in order to insult him.
The incident happened as Seinfeld was performing in Melbourne at the Rod Laver Arena on Saturday night when the group interrupted and claimed that he supported &#8220;genocide.&#8221;
&#8220;Oh, you&#8217;re back. They&#8217;re back! The protesters are back! I&#8217;ve missed you!&#8221; Seinfeld responded as the crowd began to boo the protesters. &#8220;Oh, you&#8217;re not doing well. It&#8217;s so hard for you. Yes, listen, dude, listen, let me explain something, you and I are in the same business.&#8221;
&#8220;We&#8217;re in the same business. Our business is to get people to see things the way we see,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;The problem is you&#8217;re in the wrong place. &#8230; You hear how well I&#8217;m doing? This is what you want. You want to do well, like I am, looking at the people here to hear me, look at what happened to you.&#8221;
He said that if he went to a sporting event and tried to do his comedy routine that he would be booed just like the protesters were getting booed at the comedy event.
&#8220;I think you need to go back and tell who&#8217;s ever running your organization, &#8220;We just gave more money to a Jew,'&#8221; Seinfeld later added. &#8220;That cannot be a good plan for you. That&#8217;s not what you want! That&#8217;s the whole problem! You got to come up with a better plan.&#8221;

Seinfeld had a similar run in with anti-Semitic protesters earlier this month when he was performing at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney.
“We have a genius ladies and gentlemen. He’s solved the Middle East. He’s solved it!” Seinfeld mocked. “It’s the Jewish comedians, that’s who we have to get.”
The crowd cheered as Seinfeld mocked the heckler, who chanted the genocidal anti-Semitic slogan “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” as they were escorted out of the venue.
“Go ahead, keep going,” he taunted the heckler. “They’re going to start punching you in about three seconds, so I would try and get all of your genius out so we can all learn from you.”
“It’s a comedy show, you moron!” Seinfeld added. “Get out of here.”

Several climate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/protesters" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protesters</a> briefly disrupted the PGA Tour&#8217;s Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, on Sunday.
Video posted to social media showed the demonstrators run onto the 18th green and release a red or white powdery substance as players watched.

Images from the venue showed that some of the demonstrators wore a white shirt that read &#8220;NO GOLF ON A DEAD PLANET.&#8221;
A climate group called Extinction Rebellion took responsibility for the incident, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/23/sport/protesters-disrupt-travelers-championship/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to</a> CNN.
Cromwell police said each protester was charged with first-degree criminal mischief, first-degree criminal trespass, and breach of peace.
ESPN <a href="https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/40415755/pga-tour-travelers-delayed-protesters-storm-18th-green" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a> that the protesters were released on a bond of $5,000 and are scheduled to appear in court on July 1.

<a href="https://www.cbssports.com/golf/rankings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">First-ranked</a> golfer Scottie Scheffler, who ended up winning the event, said players were <a href="https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/40415755/pga-tour-travelers-delayed-protesters-storm-18th-green" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;grateful&#8221;</a> that law enforcement responded so fast.
&#8220;When something like that happens, you don&#8217;t really know what&#8217;s happening, so it can kind of rattle you a little bit,&#8221; he said.
Scheffler added that he and a fellow golfer, Tom Kim, &#8220;both tried to calm each other down so we could give it our best shot there on 18.&#8221;

Code Pink protesters reportedly swarmed the home of CNN anchor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jake-tapper" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jake Tapper</a>, calling him a &#8220;war criminal&#8221; and accusing him of supporting &#8220;genocide&#8221; — and his kids responded by waving from the porch and playing &#8220;The Star-Spangled Banner.&#8221;
A <a href="https://x.com/thestustustudio/status/1804243281133363491" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> that circulated via X on Friday showed the protesters in keffiyehs, at least one of whom carried a bullhorn, as they stood on the street outside a house and shouted at the residents inside. The protester with the bullhorn named Tapper specifically, claiming that he was &#8220;one of the most negligent, pathetic, complicit, cowardly, lying, and cruel reporters on the CNN team.&#8221;
They went on to claim that Tapper had &#8220;spewed Israeli propaganda&#8221; and had refused to refer to the deaths of civilians in Gaza as a &#8220;genocide.&#8221;
Tapper&#8217;s kids, whose faces are blurred in the video, could be seen standing on a balcony and waving to the protesters — while they blasted the national anthem.
&#8220;We hope you&#8217;re proud,&#8221; the protester with the bullhorn yelled back. &#8220;You may be laughing now, but one day you will realize the damage that your dad has caused and I promise this big house won&#8217;t be worth it. You&#8217;re waving and you&#8217;re watching and you think it&#8217;s really funny, but the truth is — is that it&#8217;s really sick, okay?&#8221;
&#8220;You should walk away,&#8221; the protesters continued to yell at the kids. &#8220;Your dad&#8217;s a war criminal. War criminal! War criminal! Your dad is lying and killing.&#8221;

They went on to claim that Tapper had lied about the Gaza hospital — which was actually struck by a rocket fired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists, despite the efforts of many to blame Israel.
The protesters concluded by complaining that Tapper was willing to call Russia&#8217;s actions in Ukraine a genocide, but not willing to use the same terms to describe what was happening in Gaza.
Tapper previously complained about the campus protests — led by anti-Israel student groups and agitators — that had taken over colleges all across the country, noting that he was forced to give airtime to the protests that he could have been giving to Gaza.
&#8220;We’re covering these protests and covering free speech versus security on campus. This is taking room from my show that I would normally be spending covering what is going on in Gaza,&#8221; Tapper said at the time. &#8220;I don’t know that the protesters are, from a media perspective, accomplishing what they want to accomplish. I’m actually covering the issue and the pain of the Palestinians and the pain of the Israelis.&#8221;

Here&#8217;s a little ancient history that&#8217;s suddenly become relevant again. 39 years ago this month, just ahead of the summer solstice, the Battle of the Beanfield took place in Wiltshire, England. This wasn&#8217;t a &#8220;battle&#8221; in the traditional military sense. It was a violent confrontation between a convoy of around 600 New Age hippies, and roughly a thousand police officers. 
The police officers were there to enforce an injunction preventing the hippies from holding a festival at Stonehenge. That injunction was necessary because, just one year earlier, around 100,000 hippies had — as hippies tend to do — caused tens of thousands of dollars in property damage to trees, fences and several archeological artifacts in the area, including Stonehenge itself.
So, in 1985, the authorities understandably wanted to prevent any more hippie carnage from being inflicted on Stonehenge. They set up a roadblock several miles away to turn the &#8220;New Age travelers&#8221; away. That&#8217;s when, according to the BBC, &#8220;Police said they came under attack, being pelted with lumps of wood, stones and even petrol bombs.&#8221; 
Of course, to this day, the hippies maintain the police were the aggressors. That&#8217;s probably not true, but it certainly appears that the police officers used significant force once mayhem broke out. At one point, the police reportedly threw fire extinguishers and stones at the hippies to keep them from fleeing. In any event, ultimately, two dozen people were hospitalized, and more than 500 hippies were arrested. By most accounts, the Battle of the Beanfield marked the single largest mass arrest in the history of England, at least since World War II.
I mention the Battle of the Beanfield because it illustrates a couple of things. First of all, it demonstrates an obvious point, which is that the use of force by police officers does indeed deter lawlessness. You don’t have to endorse all of the tactics the police used that day in order to see that. In the years after the Battle of the Beanfield, there were still some hippies who tried to throw a festival at Stonehenge for the summer solstice, but it was nothing like what happened in 1985. For the most part, the hippies got the message loud and clear.
The other important takeaway is that, for whatever reason, Stonehenge has long been an object of fixation for antisocial, anti-civilization, anti-human weirdos. Most likely, the interest stems from the mystique of the whole construction. Stonehenge was constructed more than 5,000 years ago without the benefit of the wheel, and it&#8217;s still unclear to archaeologists exactly how the builders pulled that off — or even who exactly the builders were. It&#8217;s one of the most impressive monuments ever built in human history, so it kind of makes sense that listless, uninteresting people would latch onto Stonehenge in a desperate attempt to imbue their own lives with more meaning.
That brings us to the events that took place at Stonehenge yesterday. 
A couple of vandals associated with the group &#8220;Just Stop Oil&#8221; — one aged 73 and the other aged 21 — charged towards Stonehenge and began blanketing it with some kind of orange powder paint. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="001 Spray Paint Stonehenge" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RtBSvmkv2WM?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>
&nbsp;
As you can see, it fell to a tourist to stop these two people from defacing Stonehenge. There were no police officers nearby to immediately detain them, so a random guy on vacation had to step up to preserve one of the most famous structures in the entire world. We&#8217;ve seen this again and again. When vandals <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/national-archives-rotunda-evacuated-climate-activists-dump-pink-powder-case-holding-us-constitution" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dumped</a> pink powder on the case containing the U.S. Constitution at the National Archives Rotunda in February, no security guards lifted a finger to stop them. Late last year, activists with Just Stop Oil were able to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/14/just-stop-oil-activists-throw-soup-at-van-goghs-sunflowers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">throw</a> soup on a Van Gogh painting, then glue themselves to the wall, all without anyone intervening. And of course, on too many occasions to count, these kinds of activists have obstructed traffic with impunity. They get away with it so consistently because, at some level, they have the tacit endorsement of the state.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1391-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h4>
I&#8217;ve covered these brats extensively before, but even with all those other incidents in mind, this latest attack on Stonehenge is especially egregious to me. Defacing a monument as ancient as Stonehenge is really an attack on humanity. The fact that Stonehenge is still standing is a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness that&#8217;s hard to comprehend even to this day, thousands of years later. The only people who would want to deface or destroy Stonehenge and erase the evidence of humanity&#8217;s accomplishments are people who despise humanity itself. It&#8217;s the same reason why climate activists want everyone to stop having children. It&#8217;s the same reason they want to &#8220;end fossil fuels&#8221; and crash the global economy. They&#8217;re not really concerned about global temperatures rising by a degree or two. They want humanity to go extinct.
In comments to the media, Just Stop Oil has denied all of this. They&#8217;ve claimed that this orange cornflour paint is going to wash away in the rain, so it&#8217;s not really vandalism. Of course, Just Stop Oil has made that same claim before when they vandalized several other monuments, and it&#8217;s turned out to be false. 
Additionally, there are apparently 80 <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/uk/crime/article/two-arrestedjust-stop-oil-protesters-spray-stonehenge-orange-paint-99fp2gf2t#:~:text=Nearly%2080%20species%20of%20lichen,sea%20cliffs%2C%20according%20to%20Richards." target="_blank" rel="noopener">species</a> of lichen on Stonehenge that might be dead now, including rare species that scientists wanted to preserve. They&#8217;re still trying to figure out the precise extent of the damage. And even if it does all wash away, they still have no right to use an ancient monument as a platform for their delusional political statement. So even if the paint ultimately does come off, the point remains the same: these activists are fundamentally anti-human — and they&#8217;re becoming increasingly emboldened. In a video message, the 21-year-old Stonehenge attacker — who apparently identifies as nonbinary — explained why they/them/zim/zir decided to deface the monument. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="002 Plan for Stonehenge" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ceHz547ZHQI?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>
A few things to note here. First of all, there&#8217;s something physicians refer to as the &#8220;gestalt.&#8221; That includes a person&#8217;s general appearance, tone of voice, and the like. And the gestalt is a little concerning here. For starters, this person is whispering for some reason, which comes off as a little unsettling. On top of that, this nonbinary activist is also wearing a Patagonia shirt, even though Patagonia <a href="https://www.patagonia.com/climate-goals/#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admits</a> on its website that its vast array of suppliers — by necessity — relies on fossil fuels to conduct operations. They emit something like 200,000 metric tons of CO2 every year. So I guess we&#8217;re meant to conclude that ending fossil fuels is important, except when nonbinary University of Oxford students need a nice sweater vest or t-shirt. Then fossil fuels are okay. 
Of course, every accusation is really an admission with these people. When these activists warn of death and destruction and devastation on an &#8220;immeasurable scale,&#8221; they’re actually revealing precisely what groups like Just Stop Oil want to happen. It&#8217;s what they know will happen if Western nations stop producing fossil fuels, which supply an overwhelming majority of the world&#8217;s energy. We&#8217;ll be taken over by China in about a week. Civilization as we know it will come to an end.
For some reason, that appears to be what a significant number of young people now want to see happen. They&#8217;ve been indoctrinated into a nihilistic death cult. And on social media, many of these young people are now celebrating what just happened at Stonehenge. On Twitter, Oli London posted an <a href="https://x.com/olilondontv/status/1803529776969167156?s=46" target="_blank" rel="noopener">image</a> of a blue-haired British archeologist with &#8220;she/they&#8221; pronouns who wrote that the attack was &#8220;well done.&#8221; More than 10,000 people liked that particular tweet, which gives you some indication of how popular the sentiment is.
It&#8217;s not hard to see why this is becoming a trend. For one thing, there&#8217;s a lot of money in it. 
As Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dark-money-fund-poured-millions-dollars-eco-activist-groups-blocking-highways-destroying-famous-art" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> late last year, the Beverly Hills, California-based, Climate Emergency Fund, or CEF, sent roughly $4 million in grants overseas in 2022 alone: &#8220;The most sizable slice [of these grants was] wired to U.K. climate activists. The largest beneficiary of CEF&#8217;s funds appeared to be Just Stop Oil, a British activist group that has repeatedly made headlines for stopping traffic and disrupting public places across the UK.&#8221; And this is just one dark money group based in the United States.
So that amateur quality, creepy video you just saw from the nonbinary activist may have been amateurish on purpose. In reality, Just Stop Oil is an extremely well-funded operation. They could&#8217;ve sprung for better production quality if they wanted to. So-called &#8220;environmental activism&#8221; is now a very big business, and a lot of people are making a lot of money on it from sources we can&#8217;t identify.
That could be one reason the whole movement is attractive to young people, many of whom are now looking for jobs. On top of that, of course, government officials all over the world have become propagandists who indoctrinate young people as a matter of course. 
Here for example is New York governor Kathy Hochul warning of an impending heat emergency in the city:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="003 NY Gov hot weather" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aI7MUNVFr2k?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>
&nbsp;
The central claim that Kathy Hochul is making — that New York has never before seen temperatures that feel like 100° — is completely false. It&#8217;s so obviously false that you can disprove it with about five seconds of Googling. According to the National Weather Service, the highest temperature ever <a href="https://www.weather.gov/media/okx/Climate/CentralPark/extremes.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recorded</a> in New York City&#8217;s Central Park was 106° Fahrenheit, all the way back in July of 1936. And that&#8217;s the actual temperature, not the heat index. 
Before that, there was a heat wave in 1896 that killed more than 1,000 people, as temperatures exceeded 90°. The National Weather Service reports that the warmest month on record in New York was all the way back in July of 1999. And in several years since, New York has hit 100° on several occasions.
So what Kathy Hochul is saying is wrong for about a million reasons. But she said it anyway because she knows it&#8217;s effective. People hear what she&#8217;s saying — especially young people — and they believe it. They become activists and loyal voters for the Democrats. And unless they&#8217;re met with force, as they were at the Battle of the Beanfield, some of those activists will continue to deface priceless historical artifacts to attract attention to their nihilistic death cult. They will continue to block roadways, preventing people from going to work and ambulances from transporting patients. Appeasing these cultists simply does not work. That much is now very clear. If we want to have any monuments or any history left at all, we need to take the threat as seriously as the British did in 1985, and shut them down.
