Jews Have Been Driven Off Of Campus At Columbia University As Violent Pro-Hamas And Anti-Israel Protests Threaten To Spread Across Nation

Student demonstrators at Columbia University have forced Jews off campus, as tensions rose on the campus at the epicenter of pro-Palestinian anti-Israel protests across US colleges.

A storm is brewing on college campuses across America, to quote Uncle Billy from ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’, it’s shaping up to be a squall. Nearly all the Jewish students at Columbia University have been driven off campus due to the violent threats and incendiary rhetoric coming from the pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian rioters at the school. The Declaration of Independence says “Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble…” Once things turn ugly, the protest has become a riot, and that is not protected by our Constitution.

“And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.” Matthew 27:37 (KJB)

If you are old enough to remember the protests on college campuses over the Vietnam War, then much of what you’re seeing right now is eerily reminiscent of that time. You will also remember that when other agitator factions entered into the mix, things got real violent real fast, and people started dying. If present trends continue, I would have to believe that we are getting close to that scenario once again. The presidential conventions for the GOP and DNC are in July and August respectively, and it’s a pretty fair bet that these riots will be present during those gatherings.

Columbia University on edge as talks collapse over Gaza protests

FROM BREITBART NEWS: Police arrested around 275 people on four separate campuses in the United States over the weekend, with the White House calling on the growing protests in recent weeks to remain peaceful. Columbia University said Monday that many Jewish students have left its campus and it demanded that the protestors’ encampment must be cleared, adding that Columbia would not divest financial holdings linked to Israel — a key demand of demonstrators.

Students pushed back, vowing to defend their camp on the New York institution’s main lawn, despite the threat of suspensions and disciplinary action from the college. As of midday only students with university ID cards were free to walk onto campus, AFP observed.

Columbia University classics professor Joseph Howley told AFP the school’s statement Monday amounted to yielding to outside political pressure. He said Columbia is “affirming the false premise that the mere presence of political speech on behalf of Palestine is a threat to Jews like myself.”

He called such a position “absurd and dangerous.”

Protests against the Gaza war, with its high civilian death toll among Palestinian civilians, have posed a challenge to university administrators trying to balance free speech rights with complaints that the rallies have veered into anti-Semitism and hate speech.

For almost two weeks now a wave of protests against Israel’s war in Gaza has swept across US university campuses, coast to coast, after beginning at Columbia. Around 100 protesters were arrested there April 18. Footage of police in riot gear and summoned by university officials to break up rallies have been viewed around the world, recalling the protest movement that erupted during the Vietnam war.

At University of California, Los Angeles skirmishes broke out Sunday between pro-Palestinian protesters and supporters of Israel. These nationwide rallies have reignited debate on freedom of expression, anti-Zionism and what kind of language or behavior amount to being anti-Semitic.

The Gaza war started when Hamas militants staged an unprecedented attack on Israel on October 7 that left around 1,170 people dead, according to an AFP tally of Israeli official figures. Palestinian militants also took roughly 250 people hostage. Israel estimates 129 remain in Gaza, including 34 the military says are dead. READ MORE
