Ivy League anti-Israel agitators’ protests spiral into ‘genuine terrorist organization’, professor warns
Charlie Hart: There’s real change happening there…I look at kids in college and try to imagine how they end up in this situation. I think it starts with their concern for Palestinian children. Of course, everyone is worried about the children of Palestine. Anyone who cares about Palestinian children wants to destroy Hamas. Because Hamas is the biggest problem for Palestinian children. they are a terrorist organization. …The problem with these students is that they don’t go read. They haven’t learned anything about history. they don’t know anything. That is why they are led to their moral equivalency with liars like AOC and President Biden. It’s not even moral equality. It’s like moral ambiguity, or any kind of disregard for morality. And in the end, these children end up supporting terrorists and openly supporting terrorist organizations. [saying] “Go back to Poland, burn down Tel Aviv, and Hamas, we love your rockets.” This is insane. … Political leaders too, university campus The leaders do not respond with absolute ferocity to quell this. I think this shows that we are in an amazing position in America today, both politically and academically.

“Today is also a day to remind us of the power of organizations and what we can achieve. [when] Young people, climate change advocates, labor activists and workers of all backgrounds come together to demand a future. We all deserve it. It’s especially important that we don’t forget the power of young people who are shaping this country today,” Ocasio-Cortez said alongside President Biden at an Earth Day event on Monday.
“I remember the days when I could once again witness the leadership of peaceful student-led protests on campuses like Columbia, Yale, Berkeley, and many others.”
