While it certainly hasn’t been a quiet summer, considering Donald Trump was almost assassinated, Joe Biden appeared barely sentient at the presidential debate and was forced to the side by Madam Pelosi, and Kamala Harris suddenly became the greatest politician who ever lived in the eyes of the corporate media.
But there was one thing we didn’t see, and it was a nice miss: unhinged pro-Hamas protests on our nation’s campuses. Students and organizers took off on their summer break and hopefully found something productive to do. Unfortunately, however, the new academic year starts up again soon, and the extremists have been busy making sure they’re ready for more destruction:
Demonstrators say all forms of protest are still on the table, despite the more than 2,000 arrests so far, as students try to figure out a new strategy to demand their schools divest from Israel, among other goals.
“What we will see [is] the students will continue their activism, will continue doing what they’ve done in conventional and unconventional ways. So not only protests, not only encampments, kind of any — any available means necessary to push Columbia to divest from from Israel,” said Mahmoud Khalil, student negotiator on behalf of Columbia University Apartheid Divest.
“And we’ve been working all this summer on our plans, on what’s next to pressure Columbia to listen to the students and to decide to be on the right side of history,” Khalil added.
I always wonder: what parent is shelling out these obscene tuitions so their kid can go trash property, spew venom, and harass Jewish students? My kiddos try any of that, they’ll be looking for someone else to support their education.

Will the colleges and universities react differently this time, or will many just let demonstrators run wild?
Harvard is rearranging deck chairs while its reputational ship sinks. @Columbia you have a chance to not repeat @Harvard failure:
-Commit NOW and PUBLICLY to serious enforcement of codes of conduct.
-BAN masking at protests.
-BAN student groups that openly incite violence… https://t.co/cVcECPRFvG— Columbia Jewish Alumni Assoc. (@CU_JewishAlumni) August 4, 2024
Some of the poor darlings are still facing consequences for their crimes. Khalil’s sense of entitlement is astonishing as he believes universities should agree to all sorts of demands and allow protesters to create their chaos without disciplinary action:
“We have several students who are still suspended and some of them waiting for a hearing from the university. The university is not taking actions in any of these cases, really, so we have tens of students in limbo,” Khalil said. “They don’t know if they will be able to attend school next semester. They’re not sure if they can benefit from university housing, register for classes, any of that, and it has been, for some of them, it has been four months already.”
Poor innocent students, they just wanted to camp out.
But have they learned anything? Nope. Many are apparently just going to keep on doing what they’ve been doing:
But he [Khalil] added that the fear of more repercussions isn’t stopping students from bigger plans to keep the Palestinian cause top of mind on their campuses.
“We’re considering a wide range of actions, throughout the semester, encampments and protests and all of that,” he said.
Great, just what we need—more antisemitism. Don’t you kind of feel like telling them, “Put out that cigarette, cut your hair, and get a job?”
My bet is that Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris will cheer them on and claim that the protests are “mostly peaceful” when many of them will likely be anything but.
