Columbia Protests have gotten so bad, the school finally admitted there were calls for murdering Jews. They left out the persistent chant, "Go back to Poland” and open praise for H@mas.
The picture of a young girl holding a sign, "Al-Qasam's next targets," is Isabella Giusti, who was raised by Millionaires on a $2.25M home, that looks like a plantation, in historic Savannah, Georgia. Of course she is desperate for a scapegoat. Jews are the easy one.

I have to repost this oped before it becomes old news. I’ll keep my intro short and to the point: Arab refugees deserve better than Palestine Supporters. I’m sick of repeating this line. There’s just endless evidence that the civilians of Gaza are hurt the most by Palestine Supporters and the idea of a Palestinian state. Zionism actually benefits when these groups threaten Jews in the US and lead to more aliyah.

Arabs deserve better than a Sharia, welfare state, with a history of child suicide bombings. I’m not afraid to say it. If you care about Arab refugees, Gaza, and innocent civilians, you should scream it at the top of your lungs.

Original post: https://www.newsweek.com/message-gazan-campus-protesters-youre-hurting-palestinian-cause-opinion-1894313 The author, Hamza Howidy, is a real civilian from Gaza. You can see pictures of him living in Gaza. You can talk to him and hear his voice. He has easily accessible social media.

Of course, since the Palestine Supporters know absolutely nothing about Hamza, their response comes straight from their textbook: Deny, say it’s hasbara, yell overtly racist slurs, and insist that H@mas are heroes. To prove the author was 100% right about how Palestine Supporters are deluded and don’t respect Arab lives at all, here’s “flockks” on Reddit, with the top voted comment on a post about this oped, despite being a person who’s frequently praised H@mas:

A baseless argument from a Palestine Supporter grasping for something??? No surprises there.

here’s samples of flockks comments adjacent to this comment, to really prove the author was entirely right about people like flockks who are desperate to blame the Jews:

This is such a painfully stupid comment. Not one detail is correct. It is 100% illegal to be in gay in Gaza and the West Bank today. I personally know lesbians who were beaten up in Ramallah, the most liberal Arab-occupied city in the Levant, and they were just glad they weren’t arrested after the lynching. They beheaded people for being gay in Hebron in 2023. H@mas accused their last leader of being gay before killing him. The criminalization of homosexuality in the Middle East is because of Sharia Law, which the Brits allowed. Sharia law predates British and Ottoman rule and any honest historian knows this.
The article itself, which flockks clearly didn’t read, mentions Mahmoud Ishtiwi ffs. Learn to read, bro.

Again, just an insanely stupid comment. It has +45 on Reddit. This cult is criminally stupid and filled with pathalogical liars.

This is what it always boils down to: Palestine Supporters are an illiterate movement that brag about not reading.

The same person who insists that the protesters are not pro-H@mas, praising H@mas as “lesser evil.”

It is wild how the Palestine Supporters are so aware that their cause is known for necrophilia and child suicide bombings, they often blurt out lines like this. Nobody brought up babies in ovens. The Palestine Supporters just can’t help themselves but evoke the imagery from their fantasies, then lament it didn’t happen.

You got to be a real “Palestine Supporter” to find this funny. Just terrible people. Really, horrible people.

Message From a Gazan to Campus Protesters: You're Hurting the Palestinian Cause | Opinion

By Hamza Howidy; Palestinian from Gaza City; Apr 25, 2024

Protests are spreading across the United States at college campuses, where university students are gathering in the name of Palestinian rights and occupying campus spaces with tents. Sadly, not everyone who purports to support Palestinians is truly interested in safeguarding our rights.

It pains me to say this as a Palestinian from Gaza. As my home is destroyed and too many killed, I never thought I would find myself criticizing those speaking up. And yet, I cannot be silent about what I am seeing. The truth is that the manner in which many gather to voice their support for Palestinians does more to hurt our cause than help it.

You know what would help the Palestinians in Gaza? Condemning Hamas' atrocities. Instead, the protesters routinely chant their desire to "Globalize the Intifada." Apparently they do not realize that the Intifadas were disastrous for both Palestinians and Israelis, just as October 7 has been devastating for the people of Gaza.

They should be speaking up for the innocent victims of Hamas—both Palestinian and Israeli. Instead, they endorse Hamas's ideology with posters announcing resistance "by any means necessary" and chants of "from the river to the sea," effectively glorifying the Al-Qassam brigades, Hamas' military wing, whose ideology is entirely based on the elimination of more than 6 million Israelis from the land.

I assumed individuals who initiated these slogans were uninformed about what they were advocating for. I saw the LGBTQ flag frequently flown among people chanting lines from Hamas's charter, and I initially wanted to educate them, to warn them that the group they are honoring would most likely toss them from the top of a building or murder them like they did to Mahmoud Ishtiwi, a Hamas commander accused of homosexuality. Hamas harasses women who don't cover their heads. Hamas tortures those who demonstrate against their authoritarian rule, as they did me when I protested.

All of this seems to be lost on the people who have named themselves our allies, to our misfortune.

Hate speech on college campuses starting with the one at Columbia has recently reached a frightening pitch. I've seen people yelling antisemitic things at Jewish students, including "Jews go back to Poland" and other horrible phrases. It has deteriorated to the point that Jews are no longer attending university classes due to the current hostile environment, and they are attending their classes online to avoid the demonstrators.

It's unconscionable. But it's not just the antisemitism that has me despairing. It's the hypocrisy. Where were these caring young people when Hamas took over Gaza and slaughtered hundreds of Gazans, or when Hamas held 2 million Gazans captive for more than 17 years? Why didn't they speak out about the fact that Hamas led Gazans into this conflict, which resulted in more than 30,000 dead and 80,000 injured, according to Gazan municipal authorities? Where were they when Hamas's failed missiles claimed the lives of hundreds of Gazans on October 17, or when Hamas murdered young people in order to steal aid and resell it to Gazans at massively inflated prices?

The only conclusion that can be drawn from these demonstrators' silence concerning Hamas' atrocities and their antisemitic chanting is that they are not concerned with protecting Palestinians. They are out in their tents because of a hatred of Jews and Israelis.

As a Gazan and as a Palestinian, I want the protesters and the organizers of these protests to know that their hateful speech harms us. The Jewish person or Israeli you are intimidating during your rally may be the granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor or a family member of an Israeli slain or abducted by Hamas on October 7. These folks would be your partners if the protests were about achieving lasting peace and justice for Palestinians and Israelis.

I do not accept hateful speech or terrorist chants, and all of these foolish dreams about eradicating Israel are disgusting—and will never be achieved. Both of us—Palestinians and Israelis—are here to stay.

But the protesters aren't interested in peace. Some of the groups have been blocking Palestinian peace activists like me—and I am from Gaza, the very place they claim to care about! Instead of blocking peace activists, they should be inviting us to join these protests and guide them in the right direction—a place without hatred with a focus on calling for the release of the hostages who have been held captive by Hamas for more than 210 days.

If the protesters cared about Palestinians, they would have one central demand: Hamas must surrender, because we have all suffered from Hamas and can no longer live under the rule of a terrorist group. Only then can a ceasefire be achieved.
