Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu angrily denounces protests on U.S. college campuses as “horrific” and demands that government authorities make them stop
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu released a fierce video message Wednesday, saying that “what’s happening in America’s college campuses is horrific.”
“Antisemitic mobs have taken over leading universities. They call for the annihilation of Israel. They attack Jewish students. They attack Jewish faculty,” he said. “This is reminiscent of what happened in German universities in the 1930s. It’s unconscionable. It has to be stopped. It has to be condemned and condemned unequivocally. But that’s not what happened. The response of several university presidents was shameful.”
Netanyahu spoke as American college students are continuing to hold anti-Israel demonstrations Wednesday around the nation. Arrests were made at NYU, Columbia, USC, and the University of Texas, among others, reportedly as many as 200 campuses holding protest demonstrations.
“Now, fortunately, state, local, federal officials, many of them have responded differently but there has to be more. More has to be done. It has to be done not only because they attack Israel, that’s bad enough, not only because they want to kill Jews wherever they are, that’s bad enough, it’s also when you listen to them, it’s also because they say not only, “Death to Israel. Death to the Jews,” but “death to America,’” Netanyahu said. “And this tells us that there is an antisemitic surge here that has terrible consequences.
The Israeli prime minister said the world was witnessing an “exponential rise of antisemitism throughout America and throughout Western societies as Israel tries to defend itself against genocidal terrorists, genocidal terrorists who hide behind civilians.”
“Yet it is Israel that is falsely accused of genocide, Israel that is falsely accused of starvation and all sundry war crimes. It’s all one big libel,” he added. “But that’s not new.”
He concluded his message by saying “So I ask all of you, Jews and non-Jews alike, who are concerned with our common future and our common values to do one thing: stand up, speak up, be counted. Stop antisemitism now.”
I am horrified. You parents paid good money, that the average joe American taxpayer is probably fixing to have to pay, for these dumb kids to be social justice warriors. I am astounded at the ignorance in education!!! And America’s governing ignorance too. They have no clue what they are protesting!!! And government has no clue what they are doing either!
American Christians are just as appalled! This is nothing but “mob rule” being allowed, with few, if any, consequences! The majority of those have no idea what Hamas, what Islam, stands for. They just hear the lies, and think they’re being so noble, when, in fact, they are nothing more than “useful idiots”, ” brown shirts” for yet more totalitarian savagery! They believe they know all there is to know, and are fools in their ignorance! Neither are they willing to hear truth spoken to them; they have made up their minds and do not wish to he others dairy actua facts! These campus disruptions should have been stopped cold way back in the late ’50s, when they 1st started happening here!
