Americans have been shocked to see progressive college students protest Israel on campuses. These anti-Israel activists have thrown away any semblance of not being Hamas backers. In many cases, they openly advocate for the very evil embraced by this terror group.
Presidents of universities are experiencing tremendous backlash for refusing to end these protests—which are becoming increasingly hostile against Jewish Americans.
New York Mayor Eric Adams condemned the movement, calling it anti-Semitic. He vowed that the NYPD would be quick to intervene, should these protesters break the law. It looks like one New York school has had enough—and they called in the calvary.
From The Post Millennial:
Over 150 students and faculty were arrested at the anti-Israel protest at NYU on Monday night. They were demanding that NYU divest from Israel and shut down the school’s Tel Aviv campus…They called their camp one of “Gaza Solidarity,” and a university spokesperson said that there had been multiple incidents of antisemitism reported, though details were not provided, per NYU’s Washington Square News. NYU requested the presence of the NYPD. They arrived at 8:30 pm and by 9 pm, the Gaza Camp was cleared.
The battle between Democrats and progressives is growing more intense. New York University called in the NYPD to arrest over 150 students who were demonstrating against Jews and the nation of Israel.
Many more protests are taking place on college campuses. What had once been a call for a ceasefire in the Gaza war has turned into an openly anti-Semitic movement. These Hamas-backing progressives are forcing Democrats to take sides, the very thing the party was too scared to do.
New York Mayor Adams condemned the protests as “anti-Semitic.” Other Democrats will soon be forced to say the same. Progressives aren’t merely asking for Israel not to fight in Gaza. They are spreading the same slogans and views as Hamas, which calls for the destruction of Israel and the death of Jews everywhere.
Democrats are now joining Republicans in calling for progressive college presidents to resign. It is unclear how long these protests will last. But it does seem clear that the far left will not stop in its anti-Israel agenda. Even as more enemies turn on the one Jewish nation in the world, American progressives become increasingly hostile.
Key Takeaways:
- New York University called in the NYPD to arrest anti-Semitic protestors.
- Far-left college students are becoming increasingly anti-Semitic in their movement.
- Democrats are starting to turn on progressives, who are openly siding with Hamas.
