A Dangerous Movement

A new Wall Street Journal report adds yet more evidence that these radical Hamas Youth protests are not “organic” or spontaneous events. These students were trained for months by extremist groups, including National Students for Justice in Palestine and the Black Panthers.

Students at Columbia University also tried hosting a training session with a group called Samidoun, which is known for supporting terrorism and violence. Columbia officials twice banned the group from campus. So, students held the training seminar on Zoom. When Columbia administrators learned of the Zoom meeting, they suspended several students.

This is a very dangerous movement. The evidence is all there. These are the shock troops of what many on the left hope will become an un-American revolution. Anyone with a shred of decency who is involved with these pro-Hamas protests is being used.

Several commentators have noted the prevalence of masks among the student radicals. Participants in the civil rights movement weren’t known for wearing masks. Anti-war protesters against the Vietnam War didn’t routinely don masks.

Masks are meant to intimidate and threaten people. If you hear commotion outside your home and see people in masks, your first reaction will be, “These people intend to harm me.”

By the way, many jurisdictions in America have laws against wearing masks while engaged in illegal activities. Those laws were passed specifically because KKK members covered their faces when they were intimidating blacks.
