Trump told donors he will crush pro-Palestinian protests, deport demonstrators
Source: Washington Post (gift link)
Former president Donald Trump promised to crush pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses, telling a roomful of donors a group that he joked included 98 percent of my Jewish friends that he would expel student demonstrators from the United States, according to participants in the roundtable event with him in New York.
One thing I do is, any student that protests, I throw them out of the country. You know, there are a lot of foreign students. As soon as they hear that, theyre going to behave, Trump said on May 14, according to donors at the event.
When one of the donors complained that many of the students and professors protesting on campuses could one day hold positions of power in the United States, Trump called the demonstrators part of a radical revolution that he vowed to defeat. He praised the New York Police Department for clearing the campus at Columbia University and said other cities needed to follow suit, saying it has to be stopped now.
Well, if you get me elected, and you should really be doing this, if you get me reelected, were going to set that movement back 25 or 30 years, he said, according to the donors, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to detail a private event.

(97,629 posts)We women, lgbtq, immigrants, et all and our very Democracy will be taking that hit as well and it seems she and her followers dont care. She is ignorant to the threat and of trumps plans for Gaza if he should win. So yeah!!!! Lets not vote for the man that is actually trying to end this. To be pellucidly clear here, Joe Biden is NOT the President of Israel and he is trying his best to diplomatically solve this situation as a a foreign leader.
She may have a D after her name but she is not a serious Democrat. I only support real Democrats that actually care for every American and do our best to support our allies.

She should be smart enough to know Trump isn't a friend to either the Palestinians or the Israelis, or anyone who isn't a rich white protestant male willing to kiss his butt.

(12,977 posts)Human rights Prof. Hassan Abdel Salam has spent the past seven years teaching his students at the University of Minnesota about genocides around the world. On the last day of his class on global Islamophobia in April, he said he was quitting the classroom to oppose what he described as genocide in Gaza by helping lead the "Abandon Biden" movement to defeat the president in November.
"It was very emotional," Abdel Salam said. "I just need to throw myself and put all my energy into this ... and I feel like huge change can happen."
It's not the change you' want, moron. More at sarisataka's post - https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218977956
And this is a professor -- worse, a professor at a university where I took 13 courses, in my long-time home state of Minnesota.

He can try to revoke the American citizenship of immigrants, like Omar or Abdel Salam - above. And good luck with this.
I would like to see the book thrown at the ones from Dearborn who chanted Death to America.. Send them to Gaza, or Tehran or Damascus where they can join others.

But there will always be those who will cut off their nose to spite their faces.

(7,920 posts)are actually middle of the road, gentle Jews who think the 'pro-Palestine' protestors are more about the horrendous killing of innocent civilians rather than being anti-Israel and anti-Jewish?
