Antisemitic and anti-American "protests" continued on Sunday as pro-Hamas supporters occupied areas of Columbia University and Yale University. In one case, a young Jewish student was stabbed in the eye before being told by campus police that there was nothing they could do.

With a further escalation of violence from the terrorist supporters all but inevitable, Columbia's rabbi went so far as to tell Jewish students to go home and not return until order was restored.

“Al-Qassam, you make us proud, take another soldier out”
“We say justice, you say how? Burn Tel Aviv to the ground”

"Al-Qassam" refers to the military wing of Hamas while "Hamas, we love you" is pretty self-explanatory. These people aren't "anti-Zionist." They just want to murder Jews and at the heart of their desire is a supremacist movement that has been coddled and encouraged by the "intellectual" left.
Pro-Hamas Columbia students chant shocking slogans at @Columbia:

For months, the Biden administration has given public credence to the "pain" and "suffering" of pro-Hamas protesters, doing nothing to discourage their illegal activities and thirst for violence. Undergirding that has been the dangerous far-left ideology of "oppression" which supposes anyone poorer and less successful must be the victim of "colonization" and "marginalization." In other words, the ends always justify the means for the "oppressed."
There is a testing of the waters going on. The crowds of pro-Hamas supporters want to know how far they can push the boundary because they have no intention of stopping with Jews on college campuses. Their goal is cultural and political domination.
That reality has finally started to peak through the blinds of the White House, and a condemnation was put by one of Joe Biden's handlers.
BREAKING: White House statement on anti-Israel protests at Columbia University:

“While every American has the right to peaceful protect, calls for violence and physical intimidation targeting Jewish students and the Jewish community are blatantly Antisemitic, unconscionable, and…
"While every American has the right to peaceful protect, calls for violence and physical intimidation targeting Jewish students and the Jewish community are blatantly Antisemitic, unconscionable, and dangerous – they have absolutely no place on any college campus, or anywhere in the United States of America. And echoing the rhetoric of terrorist organizations, especially in the wake of the worst massacre committed against the Jewish people since the Holocaust, is despicable. We condemn these statements in the strongest terms."
First of all, where is Biden? Why is he not dealing with this directly? This is a man who has spent years claiming a relatively small antisemitic protest in 2017 spawned his run for the presidency. Yet, he's too busy vacationing in Delaware to directly speak against the largest explosion of antisemitism in the United States in decades? That simply doesn't compute, and it says that Biden is completely insincere.
Further, condemning "these statements in the strongest terms" is meaningless. You can't baby terrorist supporters and expect them to moderate. They don't care about words. They only understand actions and consequences. Biden lacks the moral courage to go past tepid finger-wagging, and even that is undermined by his foreign policy of appeasing Hamas and Iran.
The president sowed the seeds of this disgusting antisemitism in a cheap, shallow attempt to retain voters in places like Michigan. He is now reaping what he sowed. The toothpaste isn't going to go back into the tube easily.
I suspect this is going to get far worse, and America's leaders are not willing to do what is necessary to turn the tide. Buckle up.
