Progressive activists have been protesting against Israel, in favor of Hamas, on college campuses across America for too long.
In New York, several colleges have been overrun by encampments. At Columbia, students even took over a building.
The damage done is in the hundreds of millions. Jewish students have been targeted and put into danger.
This from thepatriotjournal.com.
The city has apparently said, ‘Enough is enough.’
The NYPD cracked down on the protests, arresting many agitators from Columbia and other schools. But when activists tore down the American flag to put up the Palestinian flag, Communist/Globalist Mayor Eric Adams read them the riot act.
From Fox News:
New York City Mayor Eric Adams lauded the NYPD on Wednesday after officers swept through anti-American and anti-Israel mobs at two major college campuses overnight, locking up hundreds of agitators.
He then ripped into the ‘despicable’ academic environment that allowed the groups to fester…
Adams, a former NYPD captain, told reporters:
My uncle died defending this country, and these men and women put their lives on the line—and it’s despicable that schools will allow another country’s flag to fly in our country.
So blame me for being proud to be an American, and, I [thank], Commissioner Daughtry for putting that flag back up. We’re not surrendering our way of life to anyone.
Mayor Adams had previously called out against the “antisemitic” slogans and signs being used.
But this day, these words, his actions:
[S]howed a shocking level of patriotism when he
denounced anti-Israel activists who have protested
in favor of Gaza and Hamas on college campuses.
After protesters removed the American flag to raise the Palestinian flag, New York police “put their lives on the line” to restore the Stars and Stripes.
The mayor praised their bravery and restoring law and order to the city.
Adams said he was proud to be an American—
a strong tone we rarely see from Leftists these days.
The mayor further condemned universities for allowing this “despicable” environment that led to this chaos.
Progressive college students quickly adopted an anti-Israel stance, as a result of the despicable attitudes of far-left professors who fed them a pro-Palestinian, Marxist ideology.
[W]hen the protests first erupted last fall,
the[college] presidents of top schools did nothing.
Some of them even seemed to defend the hateful rhetoric being spread.
Now, what we have here is We the People expressing our Patriotic disgust.
[M]ore and more Americans are pushing back on what
has become an anti-American, antisemitic movement.
God speed to Conservatism and to the Take Back of our Constitutional Republic.
