Shadi Hamid seems to think people are unhappy with Pro-Hamas protesters on college campuses because they are pro-Israel. Huh.
Surely it has nothing to do with Jewish students being attacked, stalked, terrorized, and harassed so much that some campuses have closed classes for the rest of the year and are now going virtual.
It's because people are just sympathetic to Israel.
Right.
Here's the test. If you're pro-Israel, and students formed a tent encampment in solidarity with Israel, would you support the police forcefully removing them? I think we know the answer. You'd be much more sympathetic to the protesters, because you agree with their cause.

Here’s the test. If you’re pro-Gaza, and students formed a human chain to physically keep a Jewish student from attending classes, would you support the police forcefully removing them?
Pretty sure we know the answer.
If they called to murder all Palestinians from river to sea to globalize the intifada, cheered on terrorists, blocked Muslims from classes, surrounded them, intimidated them, terrified them off campus, I'd rip the tents down myself.

But it's peaceful and stuff.
Buddy, I don’t care what side you are on, if you set up an encampment dedicated to literally calling for the extermination of an entire group of people, you reap what you sow.

This is not a difficult concept.
If they acted in a way that called for violence against others, then yes

Watch what he does here:
There's no evidence that students have been forcefully prevented or blocked from entering classrooms. And it's unclear how a tent encampment would restrict that ability. As for "calls for violence": https://t.co/w2NTpE4JPC. Moreover, it's unclear to me how extreme incidents that…

Dude. We have SEEN THE VIDEO.
Ironic how since he's sympathetic to Hamas ... sorry ... GAZA that he's defending them this way after claiming people who support Israel would do just that.
There’s video evidence of it, you Hamas terrorist supporter. Your lies don’t change facts.

Ahem.
I don't support any encampments, but the genocidal Anti-Semites that you support are the only ones doing it

Tough crowd.
Here's a test for you: would protesting pro-Israel students be shouting "Death to America" or "From the river to the sea"?

There's your answer.
His gotcha FLOPPED.
But hey, nice try.
