&#8220;You&#8217;re funded by China,&#8221; Hawley said. He asked the crowd to answer whether China was committing a genocide against the Uyghurs but did not get a straight answer. Hawley also pressed them to stop taking money from Beijing, but was told he was getting off-topic.

Jewish students were reportedly left begging for police protection when Rutgers University President Jonathan Holloway fled a town hall event, flanked by security.
Bethany Mandel shared video of the event, in which students wearing and waving keffiyehs chanted anti-Israel slogans. Jewish students, who had come to the town hall to ask officials about their own safety on campus, were left standing in the room with students who were calling for the destruction of Israel.
&#8220;Tonight at @RutgersU the President held a town hall with students. It devolved into anarchy, and he fled with half the police present. Jewish students who came to ask about how the admin would keep them safe on campus were left to beg the remaining police to escort them out,&#8221; Mandel captioned her video on X.

&#8220;As you can hear, students are chanting genocidal slogans calling for intifada and the destruction of the Jewish state. Jewish students were left among this crowd unprotected,&#8221; Mandel continued.

Mandel, who is an alumna of Rutgers herself, referenced the &#8220;RU Screw&#8221; — an unapologetic move by the school&#8217;s administration that left students holding the bag. &#8220;In 2024, the RU Screw has worsened, and now means leaving Jewish kids alone in a room full of people screaming for their genocide,&#8221; she added.
Several others commented on the scene that played out at Rutgers as well – and one shared video of the event from another angle.

Chaos At Rutgers As Univ. Prez Flees Protest, Leaves Jewish Students Begging For Police Protection: Report

Hamas

Rutgers University

Many dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters blocked the President Joe Biden&#8217;s motorcade route from the White House to the U.S. Capitol on Thursday night ahead of his State of the Union address.
The far-left demonstrators were protesting the U.S.&#8217;s support for Israel, which has been waning because of weakness from the Biden administration, in the wake of Palestinian terrorists with Hamas murdering 1,200 people during the October 7 terrorist attack. Thousands more were wounded, hundreds were kidnapped, and a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-n-finds-clear-and-convincing-evidence-that-rape-happened-on-october-7-continues-to-happen-to-hostages">campaign of rape</a> was unleashed upon Israeli women.
The protesters held signs and wore shirts with various phrases, including &#8220;Biden&#8217;s Legacy = Genocide&#8221;, &#8220;Homes Not Drones&#8221;, &#8220;Not In Our Name&#8221;, &#8220;End The Blockcade On Gaza&#8221;, and &#8220;Ceasefire&#8221;.
A person holding a megaphone screamed, &#8220;The corporations get to have more rights than us and the people in Gaza! Shame! Shame! Shame! Criminal!&#8221;

&#8220;Come out for a public rally &amp; mass direct action this Thursday, March 7, at 6 PM ET to protest Genocide Joe&#8217;s war crimes in the belly of the beast, ahead of his State of the Union address,&#8221; the post added. &#8220;Let&#8217;s raise our voices loud and clear at Lafayette Square outside the White House. Our People&#8217;s State of the Union rally will demonstrate that the U.S. public demands a permanent ceasefire now and an end to arming Israel with our tax dollars.&#8221;
&#8220;NOT ANOTHER NICKEL, NOT ANOTHER DIME, NO MORE MONEY FOR ISRAEL&#8217;S CRIMES!&#8221; the post claimed.

Fetterman has repeatedly riled the far left, progressive wing of the Democrat Party — particularly in recent weeks — primarily over his support for Israel and his assessment of the chaos at the U.S. Mexico border.
Shortly after the October 7th attacks, perpetrated by Hamas terrorists against Israeli civilians, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pathetic-and-rank-anti-semitism-john-fetterman-risks-the-wrath-of-his-own-party-to-support-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fetterman papered his entire Senate office</a> with the missing posters of Israelis who had been kidnapped and taken into Gaza during the initial attack. He said at the time that those posters would remain on his wall until the hostages were released.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sit-this-one-out-fetterman-blasts-south-africa-for-accusing-israel-of-genocide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fetterman</a> also lashed out when South Africa accused Israel of &#8220;committing genocide&#8221; at The Hague.
&#8220;Who are … they really fighting?&#8221; Fetterman asked of Hamas. &#8220;It’s a group of cowards. They hide in tunnels; they hide behind civilians. They attack, kill, mutilate children, women; and they do that. Stop talking about proportion on that. They shot their best shot on October 7, and they would have taken more lives if they could have … but they couldn’t do it.&#8221;
&#8220;And now let’s also talk about that: Now we’re talking about genocide,&#8221; he continued, turning to the topic of South Africa. &#8220;And now, South Africa now, is bringing that kind of a trial. Maybe South Africa … ought to sit this one out when they’re talking about criticizing Israel. Sit it out!&#8221;

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> was not at the White House — he <a href="https://twitter.com/ChrisDJackson/status/1746228831306793117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">traveled</a> to Camp David earlier in the day — but that did not stop the large crowd from getting rowdy outside the barriers following <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/01/13/march-for-gaza-dc-rally-israel-hamas-war/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a nearby rally</a> in support of a ceasefire in Israel&#8217;s war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
&#8220;During the demonstration near the White House complex Jan. 13, a portion of the anti-scale fencing that was erected for the event sustained temporary damage.

Pro-Palestinian protesters vandalized New York City&#8217;s flagship public library in Manhattan on Thanksgiving, and the clean-up process could cost up to $75,000.
The enormous building on Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street, known for its iconic lion statues out front, was defaced with red handprints, stickers, and green spray paint during at least three separate protests over the last few weeks.
The most damage was done on Thursday when hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters demonstrated during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
“On Thanksgiving, individuals involved in a protest engaged in a shameful act of vandalism to the Library’s flagship Stephen A. Schwarzman building, a space devoted to the open exchange of ideas and intellectual debate,” New York Public Library spokeswoman Jennifer Fermino <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/11/24/palestinian-protesters-arrested-macys-thanksgiving-parade/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The Washington Post.
The flagship library building is named for Stephen A. Schwarzman, a Jewish businessman and philanthropist who donated $100 million in 2008 for the library&#8217;s expansion.
Some of the graffitied structures are delicate carved pieces that may have to be replaced if crews cannot remove the paint without damaging them, Garrett Bergen, director of facilities for the library, <a href="https://gothamist.com/news/new-york-public-library-facing-steep-graffiti-cleanup-costs-after-protests" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Gothamist.
“It is too early to say the costs of fixing the damages but the repair costs for all could be between 60k and 75k,” Fermino <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/11/26/metro/ny-public-library-facing-75k-cleanup-after-pro-palestinian-protesters-vandalism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the New York Post.
The NYPD ended up arresting 34 protesters, including some who spray-painted “Free Palestine” on the library&#8217;s pillars. Library display boards outside the building were <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/11/26/metro/ny-public-library-facing-75k-cleanup-after-pro-palestinian-protesters-vandalism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">also</a> vandalized with green and red paint — the colors of the Palestinian flag — and the words &#8220;Free Gaza.&#8221;
Some protesters also briefly disrupted the parade by gluing their hands to the pavement on its route. Several wore white jumpsuits drenched in fake blood and <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/11/23/metro/pro-palestinian-protesters-glue-their-hands-to-street-disrupting-macys-thanksgiving-day-parade/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bearing</a> words like “colonialism,” “consumerism,” “ethnic cleansing,” and “fascism.”

Police <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/11/24/palestinian-protesters-arrested-macys-thanksgiving-parade/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> four people allegedly connected to the library vandalism were criminally charged with resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration, trespassing, and disorderly conduct. The other 30 people arrested were issued summons for trespassing.
The library&#8217;s vandalism comes in the wake of budget cuts due to New York City&#8217;s illegal migrant crisis.
Earlier this month, Mayor Eric Adams (D) slashed the city&#8217;s budget in several areas, including public libraries, policing, and sanitation.
“Migrant costs are going up, tax revenue growth is slowing, and COVID stimulus funding is drying up,” Adams <a href="https://gothamist.com/news/libraries-summer-school-police-and-composting-face-cuts-amid-nyc-budget-crisis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement.
The library spokeswoman <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/11/24/palestinian-protesters-arrested-macys-thanksgiving-parade/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a> that the library “strongly supports the right to protest” but said the &#8220;steep budget cuts&#8221; have already affected the library&#8217;s service and the vandalism will be &#8220;costly to repair.&#8221;
Libraries across the city have already <a href="https://pix11.com/news/local-news/nyc-public-libraries-shutter-weekend-service-due-to-mayor-adams-budget-cuts/#:~:text=Library%20officials%20expect%20more%20budget,result%20in%20deeper%20service%20impacts.&amp;text=The%20elimination%20of%20Sunday%20service,service%20will%20be%20Nov.%2026." target="_blank" rel="noopener">shuttered</a> on Sundays in response to the budget cuts.

Yet another arm of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/democratic-party" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democratic Party</a> got rattled by nearly 1,000 anti-Israel protesters at a convention held in Sacramento, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/california" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California</a>, on Saturday.
Demonstrators &#8220;barged&#8221; into the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center and opened doors to let in more people, a security breach that prompted officials to clamp down and nix some events scheduled for the evening, <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-11-18/california-democratic-party-convention-locked-down-amid-anti-israel-protests" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to the Los Angeles Times</a>.
&#8220;Due to circumstances beyond our control, and for the safety and security of our delegates and convention participants, we are canceling tonight’s caucus meetings, hospitality suites, and VoteFest taking place at the convention center,&#8221; said Shery Yang, the communications director for the California Democrats.
Protesters reportedly marched around the convention center with &#8220;Free Palestine&#8221; signs, chanting for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and criticizing President Joe Biden over his administration&#8217;s support of Israel in its fight against Hamas after terrorist attacks on Israeli soil last month. Demonstrators reportedly blocked delegates from entering and exiting the building.
At one particular event — a U.S. Senate candidate forum — protesters staged a sit-in, and a small group disrupted Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Katie Porter (D-CA), who have not called for a Gaza ceasefire but did not interrupt Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), who ended her remarks by calling for a ceasefire, <a href="https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/article282015778.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">per The Sacramento Bee</a>.
Naomi Goldman, a Democrats for Israel California board member, said she was &#8220;eagerly anticipating meaningful comment from my party on hate speech and violence targeting the Jewish community,” adding, “as well as a total denunciation of what delegates did to disrupt our assembly, and how it will ensure safe inclusive spaces for everyone who hold a diversity of opinions.”

Fatima Iqbal-Zubair, chairwoman of the California Democratic Party Progressive Caucus, said the organizers shut down the convention because &#8220;a lot of protesters kind of went in and they weren&#8217;t able to check them,&#8221; reported <a href="https://www.kcra.com/article/pro-palestine-demonstrators-interrupt-california-democratic-convention-in-sacramento/45882783#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">local NBC affiliate KCRA 3</a>. Talking about &#8220;civil disobedience,&#8221; Iqbal-Zubair added that a &#8220;disruption has to happen in a democracy for something drastic to change.&#8221;
The chaotic display in Sacramento took place just days after demonstrators calling for a ceasefire in Gaza clashed with police at the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/democratic-national-committee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democratic National Committee</a> (DNC) headquarters in Washington, D.C.
U.S. Capitol Police said those demonstrators were &#8220;not peaceful&#8221; and ignored orders to move back from the building. In the ensuing standoff, six officers were injured — including getting pepper sprayed and being punched — and one person was arrested for assaulting an officer, the Capitol Police <a href="https://www.uscp.gov/media-center/press-releases/uscp-statement-unlawful-demonstration-outside-dnc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said.</a>
Another event, this one planned for this weekend in Oregon, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/oregon-democratic-party-cancels-meeting-over-credible-threat-of-pro-palestinian-protestors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">got canceled</a> by the state Democratic Party over concerns about being interrupted by pro-Palestintian protesters.

An unidentified House Democrat reportedly told Axios that Wednesday evening&#8217;s pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Washington, D.C., had been more frightening than the Capitol breach that took place on January 6, 2021.
According to multiple reports, pro-Palestinian protesters forced lockdowns at the Democratic National Committee and House office buildings, clashing with police as they demanded a ceasefire in the ongoing war between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas.
At least one Democratic lawmaker reportedly drew a comparison to the January 6th riot on Capitol Hill, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2023/11/16/dnc-lawmakers-evacuated-house-offices-lockdown-israel-hamas-war-protest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">telling Axios</a> that the events &#8220;scared me more than January 6.&#8221; When the House member attempted to leave the DNC, &#8220;someone sent out word for people to come [back] and police said it&#8217;s not safe. Police were wearing gas masks &#8230; this was not peaceful.&#8221;
Capitol Police apparently agreed with that assessment, calling the demonstration &#8220;unlawful&#8221; and saying, &#8220;We have handled hundreds of peaceful protests, but last night’s group was not peaceful. The crowd failed to obey our lawful orders to move back from the DNC, where Members of Congress were in the building.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/black-friday-gift-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING GUIDE</a>
&#8220;When the group moved dumpsters in front of the exits, pepper sprayed our officers and attempted to pick up the bike rack, our teams quickly introduced consequences – pulling people off the building, pushing them back, and clearing them from the area, so we could safely evacuate the Members and staff,&#8221; the statement continued. &#8220;Six officers were treated for injuries, from minor cuts to being pepper sprayed to being punched.&#8221;

Wednesday evening&#8217;s violent protest — which reportedly involved around 150 pro-Palestinian activists — came just one day after nearly 300,000 gathered on the National Mall to show solidarity with the Jewish people and stand with Israel.
At that event, there were no reports of violence or conflicts with police — and the only reports of vandalism were <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/gaza-will-win-painted-tents-march-israel-1843745" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anti-Israel slogans</a> and slurs <a href="https://wpde.com/news/nation-world/graffiti-pro-march-israel-rally-washington-dc-national-mall-us-captiol-hamas-jewish-middle-east-conflict-war-palestine-death-toll-biden-hostages-gaza-israelis-palestinians-bowser-security-anti-defamation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spray-painted</a> on portable toilets and an EMT tent that was set up for attendees.

Several college campus rabbis spoke out over the weekend, addressing the dramatic spike in brazen anti-semitic protests and demonstrations that have spread like wildfire since the October 7th terror attacks perpetrated by Hamas in Israel.
In New York City for Brooklyn&#8217;s annual Chabad event, several <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/11/12/news/rabbis-on-front-lines-at-woke-antisemitic-us-colleges-describe-campus-hotbeds-of-hate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spoke to The New York Post</a> about the fact that college campuses across the country are becoming more and more dangerous for Jewish students.
Rabbi Levi Haskelevich has served for more than two decades as the Chabad rabbi at the University of Pennsylvania, and he told the Post, &#8220;It’s been disturbing, unnerving — it’s been a shock to students to see that kind of immediate chutzpah, where the demonstrators came out even before the blood dried up, to shout with such audacity on the campus with no qualifications at all.&#8221;
Haskelevich was seen in a recent video helping a Jewish student to put on <a href="https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/1918251/jewish/What-Are-Tefillin.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tefillin</a> — &#8220;a pair of black leather boxes containing Hebrew parchment scrolls;  a set includes two—one for the head and one for the arm&#8221; — while protesters march past, some just inches away, shouting &#8220;Free, free Palestine!&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;We have students who are into their PhDs who said from the moment of the attacks they could not find a safe place on campus,&#8221; Haskelevech added.
&#8220;Many, many students have close friends that suddenly don’t understand or don’t appreciate or don’t affirm what they’re going through in terms of their sense of mourning, in terms of their sense of pain,&#8221; Yale University Chabad Rabbi Meir Chaim Posner said of the Hamas attacks last month. &#8220;And then in the weeks after, they’ll find a close friend who is actively supporting Hamas.&#8221;
Anti-semitic demonstrations have risen dramatically since October 7th, when Hamas terrorists breached the border and slaughtered more than 1,400 Israelis — men, women, children, and even infants — many of them civilians. They injured thousands more and kidnapped another 200 or more, taking them into Gaza. Recent reporting suggests that the hostages — a few of whom are believed to be American citizens — are being held in Hamas&#8217; vast spiderweb-like network of tunnels beneath Gaza.

A mob of pro–Palestinian protesters attempted to kick in a door at Grand Central Station in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york-city" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York City</a> on Friday night as demonstrators throughout the city tore down American flags and vandalized buildings.
The demonstrations were part of a “flood Manhattan for Gaza” protest organized by the pro-Palestinian groups Within Our Lifetime and the City University of New York for Palestine. In the aftermath of the Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel, pro-Palestinian protests have popped up throughout the U.S. 
New York Post reporter Steven Vago <a href="https://twitter.com/Vagoish/status/1723155175022485835" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared images</a> and videos of the unruly protest, which eventually prompted authorities to temporarily shut down Grand Central Station. In one video from Vago, a group of men holding Palestinian flags can be seen trying to kick in the doors outside of the train station.

Protesters also placed a sticker on a Dior store in Manhattan that said “Resist Colonial Power By Any Means Necessary,&#8221; one photo shows. Another photo showed police congregating outside of a Starbucks store after a couple protesters yelled, “Burn down Starbucks.”
A New York Daily News reporter was also harassed by pro-Palestinian protesters with one yelling “F*** you Zionist pig.” The New York Times was targeted as well with protesters smearing fake blood on the doors outside its office. 
One demonstrator scaled a street post and ripped down several American and U.N. flags before being arrested by police while another person burnt an Israel flag. 
“Go the f*** back where you came from! You feel a certain way? Go back to where the f*** you came from!” one person <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/11/10/metro/anti-israel-protesters-burn-israeli-flag-splatter-fake-blood-on-ny-times-building/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> a group of pro-Palestinian protesters.

New York City Police told one group in the road to move to the sidewalk or be arrested.

Multiple people were arrested by police, but the total number has yet to be released. 
Pro-Palestinian protests have taken places up in cities across the world in the wake of the Hamas terrorists attacks against Israel that left 1,400 Israelis dead and thousands wounded.

If you watch enough cable news, you start to realize there are a handful of bankable segments. These are segments that describe some outrageous behavior, which the media presents as shocking. They&#8217;ll all pretend to be very concerned by it. But in fact, this behavior happens all the time, and the media loves it when it happens, because it lets them fill air time on slow news days.
There&#8217;s maybe no more obvious example of this phenomenon than so-called &#8220;protests&#8221; by climate activists. Every time purple-haired climate nuts deface a historic work of art, or throw paint on the side of a building, it&#8217;s usually good for a quick 2-minute segment on cable news and a few viral posts on social media. &#8220;Why are those theater kids so upset with the Mona Lisa?&#8221;, befuddled panelists will ask themselves. &#8220;Why are the Oberlin sophomores at the Sunrise Movement surrounding that politician who&#8217;s just trying to get to his car? They sure are crazy!&#8221;
This kind of thing happens constantly. At this point, you can only roll your eyes when you see it.
And you&#8217;ve been seeing a lot of it lately. A few days ago, for example, climate activists <a href="https://apnews.com/article/just-stop-oil-national-gallery-climate-protest-venus-painting-3c403a36f14cb4ac2521ddf9d70f3654" target="_blank" rel="noopener">smashed</a> the glass protecting Velazquez&#8217;s Venus painting in London&#8217;s National Gallery. And before that, just a few weeks ago, protesters <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/08/24/climate-protest-arrest-dinosaur-natural-history-museum-smithsonian/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">glued themselves</a> to signs in the National Museum of Natural History in Washington. There are many more examples, but the point is, these climate lunatics act out and deface property all the time. And then there&#8217;s some angry news segments about it and then everyone moves on.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1260-fed-up-man-shoots-climate-activists-blocking-highway-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h4>
This is the familiar cycle. Radicals who are fixated on climate change, almost all of whom are severely mentally ill, are treated as nuisances. In fact, we often pity them, because they obviously have no idea what they&#8217;re talking about, nor do they remotely understand how to persuade others to join their cause, and they are in general hopelessly deluded. 
But the truth — which no one wants to say out loud, for some reason — is that these climate activists are not simply nuisances. They are, instead, a mortal threat to sane people everywhere. They are enemies of civilization who endanger the lives of innocents. If you don&#8217;t believe that, or if that sounds too extreme, consider this story from 24-hours ago, which corporate media in the United States has not covered at all. As the Telegraph <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231108111056/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/11/08/paramedic-life-or-death-emergency-just-stop-oil-protest/">reported</a>, the group &#8220;Just Stop Oil&#8221; gathered at London&#8217;s Waterloo bridge, where they blocked an ambulance carrying a patient with a &#8220;life-or-death&#8221; injury. Here&#8217;s what that looked like:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Ambulance held up in Just Stop Oil Waterloo Bridge protest" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mJa7l6UiYQQ?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
According to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231108111056/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/11/08/paramedic-life-or-death-emergency-just-stop-oil-protest/">the Telegraph</a>, in this episode, &#8220;An ambulance arrived with blue lights and sirens but was held up in traffic for ten minutes. The driver of the ambulance told The Telegraph: &#8216;I am responding to a life-and-death emergency — I am going to pick up a team from Guy’s hospital to save someone’s life at another hospital but can’t get through.'&#8221;
Apparently, this ambulance driver was on his way to another hospital on behalf of a patient whose lungs had stopped working, someone who needed urgent medical attention. So, as the Telegraph reported, the ambulance driver, &#8220;pleaded with police officers to let him through on multiple occasions as he became increasingly angry. Officers said they were working to let him through as quickly as they could as activists lay on the ground.&#8221;
In this case, as far as I can tell, the patient in the ambulance survived, thankfully. But ask yourself this question: Why haven&#8217;t you heard this story? How many reports have you heard about climate activists tossing paint in museums? Why is the media reporting about that, and not the people these climate activists nearly killed?
It&#8217;s worth answering that question, especially since, unfortunately, people have died during — and perhaps because of — these unhinged climate protests. Here&#8217;s one example, which also received zero attention from our media. A year ago this month, a cyclist in Berlin died after climate activists <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63517102" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prevented</a> her from getting to the hospital. As the BBC reported, the 44-year-old woman was hit by a concrete truck. And then, &#8220;The fire service says a specialist rescue vehicle was delayed by traffic because of a climate protest held by a group called &#8216;Last Generation&#8217;.&#8221; A senior Green Party figure condemned the climate protesters after the woman&#8217;s death, saying, &#8220;Anyone who risks the health and life of others loses all legitimacy and also harms the climate movement itself.&#8221;
What&#8217;s left unsaid here — and what really needs to be said — is that anyone who blocks traffic is &#8220;risking the health and life of others.&#8221; They are guilty of reckless endangerment at a minimum, and murder if someone dies as a result of their little blockade. It is little different, morally, from someone who goes outside and starts firing a gun into the air at random targets. Maybe they won’t hit anyone. Maybe they aren’t trying to hit anyone. But they are doing something incredibly reckless, with total disregard for the damage it may cause.
But that&#8217;s not how these people are being treated. Instead, with very few exceptions, police officers are allowing climate activists to blockade roads with total impunity. That&#8217;s been <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12728101/kenneth-darlington-panama-climate-change-protesters-shoot-dead.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">happening in Panama</a> for the past three weeks. As The Daily Mail reports, &#8220;Road blocks set up by protesters have caused up to $80 million in daily losses to businesses, according to Panama&#8217;s association of company executives, with schools closed nationwide for over a week and more than 150,000 medical appointments missed.&#8221; These protesters are blocking a major thoroughfare — the Pan-American Highway, roughly 50 miles west of Panama City.
The point of this &#8216;protest,&#8217; apparently, is that Panama&#8217;s government signed a deal with a Canadian company, giving them 20 years&#8217; worth of mining rights. Whatever the motivation is, these blockades are clearly putting people&#8217;s lives in danger. When more than a hundred thousand medical appointments are being missed, and businesses are suffering $80 million in losses per day, then you are engaging in a violent protest. There is no other way to frame it. When people miss medical appointments, they tend to get sicker. And some of those people might die. On top of that, store owners who lose money every day are going to be forced to make up the revenue in some other way, which might expose them to personal risk that we can&#8217;t possibly account for. This is what happens when the rule of law breaks down. This is why the rule of law is so important.
But, for whatever reason, authorities in Panama never did clear this blockade, at any point in the past three weeks. They allowed these protesters to prevent people from accessing medical care, from getting to their jobs, and from getting anywhere else they wanted to go. What happened next? 
Well, on Tuesday, a 77-year-old man named Kenneth Darlington — who&#8217;s apparently an American lawyer with dual citizenship — decided he had enough. He got out of his car, approached the blockade, and then shot two of the climate protesters dead. Here&#8217;s a clip of the moment leading up to the shooting:

There are a bunch of news reports describing Kenneth Darlington&#8217;s actions as &#8220;horrific&#8221; and “shocking.” The New York Post, for example, had this headline about the incident: “American lawyer, 77, busted in Panama after gunning down two eco-protesters blocking highway in shocking video.” But that’s not really true. Yes, he did gun down two eco-protesters, but there’s nothing shocking about it, if you’ve been paying attention. What he did is obviously wrong, it’s murder plain and simple, and cannot be condoned. But shocking?
No, in fact, the only thing really surprising about Kenneth Darlington&#8217;s reaction is that he&#8217;s the first person to react this way, in the face of a completely unreasonable, sustained blockade of a road that thousands of people depend on for their livelihoods. We&#8217;ve seen suggestions that people have had enough of this kind of thing, to be sure. A few weeks ago, for example, a tribal cop in Nevada <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12462413/Nevada-tribal-cop-activists-truck-hit-review.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">plowed through</a> one of these climate blockades, and made some arrests. For a very long time, Left-wing protesters have been harassing, accosting, intentionally inconveniencing and interfering with normal people trying to go about their day. They have obstructed ambulances and other emergency vehicles. They have vandalized and destroyed. They have intentionally added stress, hostility, and ugliness to the world.
To be clear, nothing I&#8217;m saying is intended to endorse Darlington&#8217;s actions. The point here is not to encourage anyone else to respond the way he did. I wish this hadn’t happened. I wish those people were never in the road to begin with. I wish that when Darlington pulled the gun, they had responded like sane people, and realized that they had pushed this man too far, and simply gotten out of the road, where they had no right to be in the first place. I wish it had played out differently, but it didn’t.
Instead, what I&#8217;m saying is that it was always inevitable that something like this would happen eventually. The Ruling Class can only suspend law enforcement for so long, and so arbitrarily, until a Kenneth Darlington appears and takes matters into his own hands. And now that this precise scenario has happened, I&#8217;m betting it won&#8217;t be the last time. People are increasingly fed up and exhausted. Even the response to this incident on social media shows that. These leftist protesters are intentionally pushing people to the brink. Regardless of your politics, you can hopefully agree: That&#8217;s not a smart thing to do. It’s especially a dumb thing to do on a highway.
Road rage incidents are pretty common all over the world. People get stressed out in traffic — unreasonably so — and often they lash out and do drastic things. This is why it’s a really bad idea to flip somebody off in traffic because you’re mad they cut you off or whatever. You don’t know who is in that car. You don’t know what kind of day they’re having. You don’t know what kind of life they’re having. You don’t know how on edge, how fed up, how completely and totally done with your bull**** they might possibly be. That’s not to say you deserve to have them pull up beside you and open fire, you don’t deserve to be killed for waving your middle finger around, but if that’s the response you get, it can’t be denied that you could have easily avoided it by making better choices in the moment. 
Now imagine blocking an entire road full of traffic, and effectively giving the middle finger to hundreds of stress out commuters all at once, who are just trying to get home from work, or get to wherever else they’re going. You’re asking for trouble.
There is an image of Kenneth Darlington making the rounds on social media. It became an instantly famous picture.

You can see Darlington, standing there point the gun, right after he fired it. It’s a fascinating picture in many ways. A picture worth a thousand words, as they say. The most interesting thing about it is Darlington’s expression. He’s not screaming. He doesn’t look enraged. He doesn’t have the expression of a man who has gone totally insane. Instead he looks exhausted. He looks tired. He looks like a man simply fed up. There are a lot of people like that in the world today. People who just want to live their lives, and yet they find, every step of the way, forces intentionally trying to make their lives worse and more difficult. People who have watched the total breakdown of law and order, and who have been pushed to the brink, and over it, because of it. That’s not an endorsement of Darlington’s actions. It’s just an observation about the state of the world.
And it’s a state that has been engineered by the people in charge. Whether in Panama or the U.K. or this country, the authorities take a pretty lackadaisical, overly tolerant approach to Left-wing protesters engaged in these kinds of disruptions, or doing things even worse than blocking traffic. If they wanted to protect human life, preserve order, and prevent outcomes like this, you&#8217;d think they&#8217;d crack down on the people blockading highways, vandalizing artwork, et cetera. You&#8217;d think they&#8217;d make sure the Pan-American Highway wasn&#8217;t shut down for the better part of a month. But the authorities are not doing any of that — which can only lead you to the conclusion that they don&#8217;t want to preserve order at all.

Shooting

On Sunday, an elderly Jewish man attending a pro-Israel rally in Thousand Oaks, California, was killed after being allegedly hit in the head with a megaphone wielded by a pro-Hamas protester.
Normally, such an event might spur a nationwide conversation about anti-Semitism and the costs of radical rhetoric. After all, according to the White House, a national conversation regarding “Islamophobia” has been made necessary by the murder of a 6-year-old Palestinian Arab child in Illinois.
But no.
There has been no such conversation about any “climate of hate.”
That’s for one reason and one reason only: the people doing the hating versus the people who are hated.
Those doing the hating are fans of Hamas, both radical Muslims and fellow travelers on the Left. Those being hated are Jews. And, as everyone of sophisticated moral bent knows, Muslims — being disproportionately brown and disproportionately poor and the majority in dozens of materially underperforming countries globally — are victims. And Jews — being highly-educated and high-earning and the majority in precisely one, materially successful state, Israel — are victimizers.
That’s the math. Brown or poor equals oppressed. White or successful equals oppressor. And being a member of the oppressed means you are a victim, no matter how evil you are.
That is precisely why Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, a raging Jew-hater, is now being treated as a victim in the legacy media. Tlaib is a sitting congresswoman, which means that by any standard, she is successful.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1846-the-cry-terrorist-strategy-of-hamas-supporters-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
But she is also brown and hates the West, which means she is a member of the oppressed class.
And this means that she can spout blood libels; she still maintains Israel bombed a hospital in Gaza, despite all evidence to the contrary. It means she can call for the utter destruction of the state of Israel, pushing the slogan “from the river to the sea” — and the genocide that inevitably entails. It means she can blame Israel for Hamas’ attack on Israeli civilians, while claiming moral equivalence between a group who burns babies alive and a group who attempts to avoid civilian casualties. It means she can spend her career hobnobbing with open terror supporters. It means that she can claim, falsely, that Israel is engaged in “genocide” and threaten President Biden over that false claim.
And then, when called on her lies and her Jew-hatred, she can shed crocodile tears.
That’s precisely what happened yesterday when a resolution sponsored by Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-house-votes-to-censure-democrat-rashida-tlaib-for-supporting-genocide-of-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called for her censure</a>. McCormick’s resolution censured Tlaib for “promoting false narratives regarding the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and for calling for the destruction of the state of Israel.” 
This resolution, according to Tlaib and her allies, is oppression.
She is the victim.
Tlaib is a cry-bully. To be more specific, she’s a cry-Hamasnik. She supports the most egregious atrocities known to man, but hides behind her religion to claim immunity, and then weeps about her supposed victimhood. She cried when she spoke to Congress; she claimed on X (Twitter) that she was being silenced, writing, “I am the only Palestinian American serving in Congress, and my perspective is needed here now more than ever. I will not be silenced and I will not let anyone distort my words. I’m from Detroit, where I learned to speak truth to power, even if my voice shakes.”
That’s an odd take, given that pretty much every major member of the Democratic Party rushed to her defense. Hakeem Jeffries, Democratic Minority Leader, blamed “Extreme MAGA pushback” for blowback against the terrorist-supporting Tlaib.
Rep. Debbie Dingell of Michigan tried to claim that “from the river to the sea” is actually just open to interpretation, like a piece of abstract poetry — a piece of genocidal abstract poetry, but abstract poetry nonetheless.
Tlaib’s anti-Semitic fellow Hamas squad members joined in on the fun and games, claiming victimhood on Tlaib’s behalf. Fellow Jew-hater Ilhan Omar screamed about the unfairness supposedly suffered by the disreputable Tlaib. Cori Bush, the BLM congresswoman from Missouri, joined the club too, ranting in typically <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/is-she-high-cori-bush-delivers-unhinged-rant-blames-congress-for-slavery-in-defense-of-rashida-tlaib" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unhinged fashion</a> about the horrors of supposed “Islamophobia” against Tlaib.
Tlaib’s tactic is Hamas’ tactic writ small. Hamas started this conflict by murdering 1,400 Jews, including babies, children, women, and men. They still have 240 people kept in bondage in Gaza as their hostages. They openly brag about hiding rockets and terrorists beneath civilian centers. They are so open about it that even CNN anchors like Jake Tapper notice.
But when Israel inevitably kills civilians in the process of targeting terrorists, Hamas sheds the falsest of tears.
And the world falls for it.
Because the oppressor/oppressed narrative is all-consuming, all-powerful.
This narrative outweighs decency. And it outweighs truth.
So, there will be no conversations about “tone” or “hate speech” or the obvious Jew-hatred evident on the streets of America’s major cities — at least not with regard to Tlaib. There will be serious-minded conversations about how the evil MAGA movement is spreading “Islamophobia.”
And stepping out of line will not be tolerated.
That, presumably, is why after Senator Elizabeth Warren issued a tweet decrying anti-Semitism, she was forced to rush out another tweet decrying “Islamophobia.” That is why the media are so studiously avoiding any language that might blame the killing of a Jewish man in Los Angeles on Hamasniks who allegedly slam elderly men in the head with bullhorns.
The headline from the New York Times read: “Jewish Man Dies After Altercation at Dueling Protests in California.”
The headline from ABC News read: “Elderly Jewish man dies after confrontation with pro-Palestinian protesters in Westlake Village.”
The BBC News’ headline read: “Jewish man dies after dispute at duelling Israel-Palestinian protests.”
The narrative must be protected at all costs. The victimizers are the victims. The oppressors are the oppressed.
And as we all know, the victims and the oppressed must be excused for all of their myriad evils.
