Pro-Hamas protests are violently erupting on college campuses across the country creating unsafe environments for Jewish students and bringing terrorism to American college campuses. Larry O'Connor weighs in on this episode of America Uncanceled.
“It’s the lunatics running the asylum,” summed up O’Connor.
Protests on the Columbia University campus are especially receiving attention for the protestors’ violent attack on and occupation of an academic hall. University administrators need to be held accountable and federal funding pulled for those colleges that have facilitated these protests and other antisemitic activities.
“This is programmed and planned and coordinated, and it usually helps the Left out. The difference, though, is the American people now are weary of this, number one. We’re done with it, and they picked the wrong issue. I think they really overplayed their hand here, thinking that Americans in some way sympathize with the residents of Gaza. We sympathize with Israel. We know who the good guys are here,” O’Connor commented.
Recent polls indicate Americans are more sympathetic to the Israeli and American hostages that Hamas is continuing to hold than to the Palestinians, and the threats from major university donors to pull funding reinforces this. Many universities have seriously damaged their reputation and endowment and in order to recover, need to start from scratch and reinstate freedom on their campuses.
