At Columbia, Pro-Israel Crowd Yells Go Back To Gaza! At Pro-Palestinian Students"The pro-Israel demonstration Thursday was helmed by a group of far-right Christian nationalist figures. Sean Feucht, the prominent MAGA pastor and musician, was the main organizer of the Unite for Israel rally. Feucht is closely tied to a slew of prominent Republican lawmakers, once bestowing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis with a Defending Freedom award at a Miami Let Us Worship event, meeting with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Capitol Hill, and praying over former President Donald Trump in the Oval Office. He has appeared multiple times on Fox News, is a regular on Steve Bannons War Room podcast, and is close with Jack Posobiec, the far-right influencer who has a history of making antisemitic remarks."
"Eventually Feucht led the march to the Columbia gates on Amsterdam Avenue, where a larger crowd of pro-Israel demonstrators not affiliated with Feuchts grouphad gathered. The NYPD threatened over a loudspeaker to arrest the demonstrators for obstructing pedestrian traffic if they didnt clear the sidewalk outside the gate, but police eventually allowed the demonstration to carry on."
"One pro-Israel protester from Brooklyn, 47-year-old Ayton Eller, held a sign calling for a boycott of Columbia Hamas University. When HuffPost asked Eller what he thought of the Jewish Columbia students taking part in the pro-Palestinian encampment, he called them traitors and self-hating Jews. "
Much more at the article worth reading.

(955 posts)From the beginning, whether it was Havard, Columbia, etc., it was a fucking stunt to make public universities and the president bad. Netanyahu and the far-right here in the US share a lot of the same things. If these guys love Israel so much, why don't they move there?

(955 posts)The funny thing is, Islam, Christianity, and Judaism all see Jerusalem as a sacred place, dating back hundreds/thousands of years. But therein lies the problem. When you have three major religions clashing over the same place, this is where things end up. But again, you're right, it's all a fantasy ruse.

Part of that fantasy is that the Jews must convert or die.
