NYC's chief DA unlikely to prosecute pro-Hamas university trespassers

Matt Margolis informs everybody of what won't shock anybody who knows Alvin Bragg cares more about petty accusations against Donald Trump than about serious crimes:
On Wednesday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg refused to say whether he will prosecute the pro-Palestinian rioters who broke into and took over Hamilton Hall at Columbia University.

Bragg is currently prosecuting Donald Trump for an alleged campaign finance violation that is normally tried as a misdemeanor offense and would normally result in a fine as a felony. In addition to elevating the misdemeanor offense to a felony, the statute of limitations on the alleged crime had passed. On top of that, nondisclosure agreements are not illegal.

Despite Bragg's overzealousness to go after Trump, he was unresponsive to inquiries from the Daily Caller regarding potential charges for pro-Palestinian rioters arrested on Tuesday. The New York Police Department (NYPD) arrested 119 rioters at Columbia University on Tuesday evening, as well as 173 at a City University of New York (CUNY) protest, where students also took over an administrative building.
There's only so many articles like these where the people the news site tries speaking to refuse to offer any comment, if at all. In any case, it won't be a surprise if it's all swept under the rug, and the perpetrators are never prosecuted at all, nor required to post any bail to be released from custody.

Besides the above news, here's another very sad part of this whole scandal over at UCLA, where similar horrors have occurred: This isn't shocking either, but does compound the sad path on which the USA is headed, with Islam becoming more common anywhere and everywhere. Particularly chilling has got to be when Republican-led states allow the Religion of Peace to gain serious footholds, like in Ohio, as mentioned earlier.

In another related issue, Lee Smith addressed fraud-in-chief Joe Biden's efforts to prevent Israel from getting rid of Hamas and rescuing hostages:
Reports are circulating that the Israelis are planning an operation in Rafah to eliminate the last Hamas stronghold in Gaza. If so, the Netanyahu government will be acting against the very public wishes of the Biden administration, which has spent the last half year moving heaven and earth to save a terrorist organization from destruction. Bizarrely, the White House’s statements and actions show that Hamas’ survival is more important than the security of a traditional American partner, Israel; more crucial to American interests than the preservation of the U.S.-led order of the Middle East; more precious than the dozens of American lives that Hamas ended on Oct. 7; more valuable than however many Americans and Israelis are still alive in the terror army’s tunnels.

Why? As the money and prestige that the U.S. has invested month after month in protecting Hamas demonstrate, the Biden administration sees the terror group as a valuable asset.

A day after the massacre, before Israel’s campaign against Hamas even began, Secretary of State Antony Blinken wrote that he was encouraging the Turkish government’s “advocacy for a cease-fire.” It makes no difference that the tweet has since been deleted, since the White House has produced no shortage of evidence since that its top priority is to deter Israel from defeating Hamas, by increasing Israel’s vulnerabilities at every turn, and conditioning aid on Israel adopting a purely defensive posture.

The Biden administration has stopped Israel from entering Rafah by demanding it produce plans to protect the civilian population, piously insisting that “even one civilian death is too many.” That would be a hard task in any military scenario, but given that Hamas hides among noncombatants, the White House’s policy openly reinforces the terror group’s political and military strategy.

The president abdicated America’s historical role of vetoing anti-Israel activity at the U.N. Instead, the U.S. delegation abstained from a key Security Council resolution in March demanding an immediate cease-fire—thereby putting America’s diplomatic weight behind Hamas’ demand that it should be allowed to keep its hostages and continue ruling Gaza. The White House then sanctioned Israeli civilians on the West Bank for crimes dreamed up by left-wing pro-Palestinian organizations, while ignoring a Palestinian terror wave aimed at murdering Jewish civilians who were guilty of crimes like stopping at a red light, buying gas, and herding sheep. Much of the false reporting supporting the pro-Hamas offensive is channeled through U.S. Army Gen. Michael Fenzel. The U.S. Security Coordinator for Israel and the Palestinian Authority are spending taxpayer resources to build a Palestinian terror army on the West Bank that may soon be repurposed for Gaza, too.

By compelling Jerusalem to “surge” food aid and energy to Gaza, the White House broke Israel’s siege, and demanded an ally resupply its adversary at wartime. Whenever Israel goes on the offensive, Biden and aides publicly threaten to stop resupplying arms. After Iran’s massive missile and drone attack last month, administration officials let on that if Israeli retaliatory strikes exceeded meager U.S. limits, the White House would hobble Israel’s air defense systems. Thus, the Israelis were forced to adopt the battle-tested American military strategy of bombing sand.
Joel Pollak also talks about this disturbing interference, which cannot be allowed to continue. What makes Biden and company's attempts to interfere with rescue operations is that a strong majority of USA citizens feel Israel should finish the job in Rafah (Hat tip: Jihad Watch), where many of the hostages are thought to be held:
A strong majority of American voters believe that Israel should move forward with a military operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah to finish the war against Hamas, according to a Harvard CAPS/Harris poll published on Monday [April 29].

Survey respondents responded to a prompt asking, “Should Israel move forward with an operation in Rafah to finish the war with Hamas, doing its best to avoid civilian casualties even though there will be casualties, or should it back off now and allow Hamas to continue running Gaza?”

While willingness to support an Israeli operation in Rafah correlated with age (older respondents viewing such an operation more favorably than younger respondents,) even among the youngest respondents, those aged 18-24, 57% said Israel should move forward with a Rafah operation.

In contrast, 84% of respondents aged 65 and above said the same.

Additionally, respondents who reported that they followed Israel closely were far more likely than not to support a Rafah operation. Among these survey respondents, 77% said that Israel should move forward with an operation in Rafah.
Biden and company - along with the demonic army of pro-Hamas protestors at universities - are going to have to recognize that even the wider USA public wants the job in Rafah to be completed, and chances are even in Europe, there's plenty who do too.

Update: in France, the pro-Hamas demonstrators occupying universities were cleared away by police in possibly less time than it took in the USA.

Update 2: it's also been noted that many of the left-wing trespassers at the colleges weren't even studying there.
