Trump supports police removing pro-Hamas demonstrators from campuses

Catherine Salgado notes that Donald Trump has addressed the disturbing issue of pro-Hamas demonstrators clogging up campuses, and Trump impressively sides with law enforcement on the subject:
Donald Trump emphasized the fact that it is the political left, not the right, responsible for the new Nazism that is driving antisemitic riots on college campi.

Students and off-campus agitators have joined in rioting and pro-jihadi encampments that led to hundreds of arrests by law enforcement. In comments to the press quoted by Breitbart, which he made before entering the Manhattan courthouse, Trump expressed his support for police arresting pro-Hamas protesters.

“These are radical left lunatics,”
he emphasized. In separate comments made last month, Trump previously addressed the argument, one supported by years of rejected offers, that the Palestinians will not accept peace with Israel and a “two-state solution.”

Trump told reporters, “I’m so proud of New York’s finest. They’re great, great people, too. I know so many of them. They’re incredible. They did a job at Columbia. And likewise, in Los Angeles, they did a really good job at UCLA.”

He continued by noting that the Biden administration and its federal law enforcement has been targeting alleged right-wing extremism while left-wing extremists scream terrorist slogans in the streets.

“This is a movement from the left, not from the right. The right is not the problem despite what law enforcement likes to say,”
Trump stated. “The FBI director said that he worries about the right. Don’t worry about the right; the right is fine. Worry about the left because this is a movement from the left.”
Congress has opened an investigation into the matter of universities that tolerate antisemitism:
The Republican House of Representatives is tasking no fewer than six committees to investigate antisemitism on college campuses, with federal research grants and other funding at stake.

The administrators who are under fire from all sides for the protests that have roiled college campuses in recent weeks have brought this down on themselves. They tolerated antisemitic behavior for years, passing it off as a free speech issue
. Meanwhile, Jewish students were intimidated and threatened. The schools did nothing, even after Jewish students went to them asking for help.

“We will not allow antisemitism to thrive on campus, and we will hold these universities accountable for their failure to protect Jewish students on campus,”
said House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) at a news conference.

Johnson visited Columbia University this week and echoed the complaints of many Jewish students there, saying “the anti-Jewish hatred was appalling.”

Since this is an election year, the GOP's sights are set on uniting their own fractured party and dividing the Democrats by bringing the issue of campus antisemitism into the political debate. The plan is to saturate the airwaves with pictures of Palestinians supporting Hamas terrorists and the Democrats defending their "right" to spout hate speech.
Former Harvard president Larry Summers says he's dismayed at all the antisemitism that's flooded campuses, and lawsuits being filed are correct. Of course, when it comes to violent incidents, students should decidedly turn first and foremost to police sources, and not rely immediately upon college staff, as recent incidents make clear. There's moments where one has no choice but to go for the really serious paths in order to deal with serious issues.
