NYPD removes the Palestinian flag and raises the US flag in its place at CUNY.
For those beginning to despair that anybody would do anything about the unrest, even anarchy, gripping university campuses across the country, it was a sight for sore eyes: after clearing out the student protestors and their encampment at City University of New York this week, the NYPD pulled down a Palestinian flag and restored the Stars and Stripes to its rightful place on a college flagpole.
By Wednesday morning, cops had retaken Hamilton Hall with admirable military precision and minimal violence, arrested 119 of the occupiers and tossed the detritus of the encampment into dumpster trucks. The Washington Post calculates 1,700 have been arrested in the past two weeks. The right to free speech and to protest , which no sensible person is denying, has deteriorated into violence, destruction, intimidation and brute anti-Semitism.
'This is not complicated,' university authorities said. 'The University is not day care and we do not treat protestors like children. They knew the rules, they broke the rules and they'll face the consequences.' All is now largely quiet on the Florida campus front.So have many in Congress, including some Democrats, appalled by the anti-Semitism endemic in the protests, and even some in the liberal-left media.
Speaking for just a few minutes, he issued platitudes about the lawlessness of 'destroying property', notably mentioning 'islamophobia' in the same breath as 'anti-Semitism', before making a swift exit. He didn’t identify a single university by name and defended the right to protest.The Biden campaign thinks, rightly, that their man can't be re-elected without the votes of the young.
Shameless Joe doesn't want to make things worse by overly scolding the student protestors. For some reason he thinks the pro-Palestinian views of the privileged, entitled elite currently cosplaying as Gazan refugees in makeshift encampments are representative of young people in general. So far, he's managed to wipe out $160 billion worth of student loan debt for 4.5 million college graduates, about 10 percent of all outstanding student loans.
There is no sign that any of this is working for Biden. Nor can we be sure that the student protests have passed their peak. After all, we are dealing here with a phenomenon of the Democrats' own making.
