What we are witnessing throughout the nation right now is truly sad. At colleges and universities all over the United States, crazed protesters are setting up encampments, attacking Jewish students, replacing the American flag with the Palestinian flag, and illegally occupying buildings. Unfortunately, these protests are likely to become even more heated in the days ahead because Israel is preparing to make a really big move. No matter how negotiations for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza turn out, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is promising that the IDF will go into Rafah and eliminate the Hamas forces that are hiding there…

Netanyahu said Israel would enter Rafah, which Israel says is Hamas’ last stronghold, regardless of whether a truce-for-hostages deal is struck. His comments appeared to be meant to appease his nationalist governing partners but it was not clear whether they would have any bearing on any emerging deal with Hamas.
“The idea that we will stop the war before achieving all of its goals is out of the question,” Netanyahu said, according to a statement from his office. “We will enter Rafah and we will eliminate Hamas’ battalions there — with or without a deal, to achieve the total victory.”
When this operation takes place, pro-Hamas protesters all over the U.S. will go completely nuts.
Of course there are many that would argue that they have already gone completely nuts.
On Tuesday, rabid pro-Hamas activists at Columbia University actually took over one of the most important buildings on campus…
Student protesters at Columbia University declared Tuesday morning that they have taken over a building near the campus’s South Lawn, raising the prospect of further turmoil at the Ivy League institution. The school responded by threatening to expel the students who occupied the building. Protesters and authorities are facing off on campuses across the nation, with arrests made and encampments closed at Cal Poly Humboldt, UNC Chapel Hill, the University of Florida and elsewhere.
Activists have barricaded all entrances to Hamilton Hall, and they are displaying a Palestinian flag from one of the windows…
Dozens of protesters took over a building at Columbia University in New York early Tuesday, barricading the entrances and unfurling a Palestinian flag out a window in the latest escalation of demonstrations against the Israel-Hamas war that have spread to college campuses nationwide.
Video footage showed protesters on Columbia’s Manhattan campus locking arms in front of Hamilton Hall early Tuesday and carrying furniture and metal barricades to the building, one of several that was occupied during a 1968 civil rights and anti-Vietnam War protest on the campus. Posts on an Instagram page for protest organizers shortly after midnight urged people to protect the encampment and join them at Hamilton Hall.
What in the world do they hope to accomplish by doing this?
One student that witnessed the occupation of the building is using the term “lawless” to describe what is happening…
Columbia junior Jessica Schwalb described the campus to CBS News as “lawless. Utter ancarchy.” She said demonstrators in Hamilton Hall “zip-tied the doorhandles together and then broke the windows, bashed the windows with hammers and put these metal bike locks around the door handles. They put the bike lock on the first set of doors is what I saw and then they were bringing tables, the heavy black metal tables from the eating area that’s right in front of Hamilton Hall, and had a group of people push them up against the door handles as a barricade and then people were also bringing furniture from Hamilton Hall to barricade inside.”
We haven’t seen anything like this in a long time.
Columbia was once one of our finest institutions of higher education, but now it has become an incubator for far-left radicals.
One attorney that is involved in suing Columbia is alleging that there have been “straight-out calls for the genocide of Jews” during the protests that have been happening at the university…
