Several hundred NYPD cops stormed onto Columbia University’s campus on Tuesday night to oust a pro-terror mob that illegally took over an academic building amid ongoing anti-Israel protests on campus.

The cops are expected to arrest the group that barged into Hamilton Hall early Tuesday morning in a drastic escalation of the protest at the Ivy League school, according to police sources.

OMG the Theatrics!

Justice minister says protest over Israel-Hamas war at his home crossed a line … So what’s the point of Junior vote whoring the Islamists?

OTTAWA – Justice Minister Arif Virani says protesters who took their cause to his home over the weekend crossed a line.

A few dozen pro-Palestinian protesters showed up at Virani’s Toronto-area home on Saturday, waving flags and placards with his photo on them at the edge of his driveway.

Virani told reporters on his way into a cabinet meeting Tuesday that he believes in the right to “lawful and peaceful protest,” which the Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees.

US says Israeli army units violated human rights

The US state department has found five units of the Israeli military responsible for gross violations of human rights in individual incidents, but says they will continue to receive US military backing.

All the incidents involved took place outside of Gaza before the current war.

Israel took corrective action in four units, giving “additional information” on the fifth, the department says.

This means all the units remain eligible for US military assistance.

Netanyahu: IDF will enter Rafah ‘with or without a deal’

The Israel Defense Forces will enter the Hamas stronghold of Rafah in southern Gaza irrespective of the outcome of hostages-for-ceasefire-and-terrorists talks, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday.

“The notion that we will stop the war before achieving all of its goals is out of the question,” said the premier during a meeting at his office in Jerusalem with the Heroism Forum, which represents bereaved IDF families, and the Tikva Forum for Families of Hostages.

Pro-terror rioters smash their way into Columbia University academic building in latest campus chaos

A huge mob of masked pro-terror rioters violently broke into an academic building at Columbia University and seized it early Tuesday – rebranding the iconic hall named after founding father Alexander Hamilton and draping it with a Palestinian flag.

Dozens stormed into Hamilton Hall and sealed themselves in shortly before 1 a.m. – with some using metal barricades, chairs and tables to block others from getting inside, footage posted on social media shows.


McGill requests ‘police assistance’ over pro-Palestinian encampment

McGill University says it has “requested police assistance” about the pro-Palestinian encampment on its lower field.

“We informed participants that this encampment was not authorized and gave them time to gather their belongings and leave the premises,” McGill said Tuesday. “However, most have chosen to remain. As we worked through the steps, we also engaged in dialogue with representatives of McGill students.”

The university says it failed to reach a resolution with the student demonstrators and “decided to take the final step in our protocol.”

Attorneys inside and outside the administration urge Biden to cut off arms to Israel

A coalition of lawyers domestic and abroad — including at least 20 that work in the Biden administration — are calling on President Joe Biden to halt military aid to Israel, arguing that its actions in Gaza do not comply with U.S. and international humanitarian law.

They plan to send a letter arguing their case to Attorney General Merrick Garland and general counsels across the administration in the coming days. In the letter, obtained by POLITICO, the lawyers contend that Israel likely violated U.S. statutes including the Arms Export Control Act and Leahy Laws as well as the Geneva Conventions prohibiting disproportionate attacks on civilian populations.

Ottawa man who lauded Hamas pleads guilty to breaking bail conditions

Ottawa Man

OTTAWA – The Crown is asking a judge to consider an Ottawa man’s pro-Hamas comments at a Toronto protest to be an aggravating factor in sentencing for breaching the bail conditions of an unrelated charge.

The Crown says Mohammed Assadi was supposed to be living under house arrest with his sister in Ottawa while out on bail on an assault charge.

Gaza vs. Ukraine: Selective Outrage at America’s Colleges

It has been more than two years since Russia invaded Ukraine. If the latest predictions are correct, Russia may emerge victorious from this war in the coming months. They will probably do so by toppling the Ukrainian government and turning Ukraine into something similar to Belarus: a Russian protectorate.

It has also been about six months since Israel launched its invasion of Gaza. Their overall intention is to eradicate Hamas and secure a new government that is not hell-bent on destroying Israel. So far, they have not accomplished that goal, but the overall impression from a variety of news sources indicates that their victory is only a matter of time.

U.S. Campuses: Grooming Terrorists

While protesters at Columbia University and Yale University celebrate Hamas and its “resistance” (a euphemism for violence and terrorism), Arabs have been ridiculing the “pro-Palestinian” demonstrators on American college campuses. For these Arabs, including some Palestinians, there is nothing “pro-Palestinian” about supporting the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist group, whose members slaughtered 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped more than 240 others on October 7, 2023.

McGill calls pro-Palestinian camp illegal, levels accusations of antisemitism at protesters

McGill University on Monday declared a pro-Palestinian encampment on its campus, which grew significantly but remained peaceful over the weekend, illegal and denounced alleged antisemitic behaviour among protesters.

In a statement Monday, McGill said the growing encampment violates the university’s policies and the law. It said it discussed “conditions in place to ensure safety as well as a timeline to remove the tents” with lawyers for McGill students but that students “did not bring any proposals or suggestions to further the dialogue.”

Stop Importing Foreign Hatred

After the October 7 attacks, thousands took to American streets to celebrate. Some explicitly praised the heinous acts of rape, beheading, and kidnapping of civilians. Among these demonstrators were many noncitizens, including those on student visas. Universities such as MIT refrained from suspending students who neglected their classes in order to protest, seeking to protect those students’ immigration status.

Hard habit to break for our politicians, they like the votes.

Hostin Backs Pro-Hamas Camps: ‘Anti-War Protests’ Against ‘Apartheid’

Finally, back from their spring break, Monday was the first day the liberal ladies of ABC’s The View were able to spout off about the anti-Semitic, pro-Hamas encampments sweeping across college campuses. Staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host, Sunny Hostin (the descendant of slave owners) didn’t disappoint as she threw her lot in with the students chanting for the murder of Jews. She decried those who told the truth about the students and whined about the anti-Semitic designation.

Israel reduces number of hostages to be released in Hamas deal to 33 – report

Israel has reduced the number of hostages it demands to be released in the first phase of a hostage deal with Hamas to 33, according to a Monday Kan News report.

According to a New York Times exclusive, Israel initially sought to release 40 hostages, including women, children, the seriously ill, and female soldiers. However, a revision occurred partly due to Israel’s belief, as indicated by one official, that some of the 40 captives may have died while in captivity.
