Students at NYU Anti-Israel Protest Haven’t the Faintest Idea What They are Doing

By

Just as many have suspected, not all of those impassioned student protesters know what they are protesting. Some of them have just let slip, as they were being interviewed by journalists from the New York Post, that they haven’t the faintest idea what they are supposed to be opposing. Robert Spencer wrote about this briefly here, and more on this comical confusion can be found here: “Anti-Israel protesters at NYU admit they have no idea what they’re protesting: ‘I wish I was more educated,’” by Emily Crane, New York Post, April 25, 2024:

Two Columbia University students who rushed to join NYU’s violent anti-Israel rally are going viral after admitting they had no idea what the protest was about — and wished they were “more educated.”

The unidentified students rattled off their clueless rationale on the steps of the NYU campus in downtown Manhattan as a slew of NYPD cops clad in riot gear stood in the background, as seen in footage viewed more than 3 million times since being shared by former Mayor Rudy Giuliani late Wednesday.

“I think the main goal is just showing our support for Palestine and demanding that NYU stop … I honestly don’t know all of what NYU is doing,” one admitted when asked about the protest’s purpose.

“Support for Palestine”? Sounds innocuous, but what the chants are really calling for? “From the river to the sea/Palestine will be free” means the eradication of the Jewish state, the expulsion or killing of all of its Jewish inhabitants, and the replacement of Israel by a twenty-third Arab state. Do these protesters understand the meaning of what they have been taught to mindlessly repeat? And what about the other chants, such as “End Genocide Now,” which falsely accuses Israel of the gravest of crimes? Do they even know what the word “genocide” means? And when these student protesters praise Hamas for its “resistance,” do they know that they are praising a terror group whose operatives on October 7 raped, tortured, mutilated, and murdered 1,200 Israelis, and kidnapped another 260? When 3,000 Hamas members swooped into Israel in cars, on motorbikes, on paragliders, to engage in their orgy of killings, was that an act of “resistance”?

An unnamed Columbia University student gave her bizarre rationale when she was being interviewed on the steps of the NYU campus.

A slew of NYPD cops clad in riot gear stood in the background.

Asked if there was “something NYU is doing,” the student meekly replied: “I really don’t know, I’m pretty sure they are…”

Yes, of course. NYU must be doing “something” objectionable — that’s why there are students now objecting — but she “really doesn’t know” what it is. But if other people think there should be a protest on the NYU campus, she’s “pretty sure they are” doing it for a good reason. Hers not to reason why, hers but to scream and cry. And I suspect a great many other students now making life so unpleasant on campuses across America are equally clueless, and equally determined, despite their ignorance, to shout their slogans, flaunt their keffiyehs, and wave their Palestinian flags.

Those Columbia students, with their vague and bland little souls, just knew they should be joining the NYU students. That’s what protesters are supposed to do — support one another. They weren’t sure what exactly was the gravamen of the charges against the NYU administration, but were sure it must have been important: “something to do with Israel.” What, exactly? Oh, gosh, you know, we’re not exactly sure. But it is very important that we join the crowd to show just where we stand, even if we don’t quite know what it’s all about. Some one will let us know.

Extraordinary popular delusions and the madness of crowds.

Nothing more need be said.

  1. A conspiracy is an agreement between two or more people (human or legal) for an unlawful purpose or to use unlawful means for an otherwise lawful purpose, and any overt act by ANY participant in furtherance thereof. It is NOT required that a participant know the details; only that the participant share the goal. “The knowledge of one is the knowledge of all. The acts of one are the acts of all.” The case United States v. Gary Greenough (1985) from the Southern District of Alabama is an excellent statement of conspiracy law. Every person who joins in the goal of interfering with interstate commerce by blocking streets or college campuses is equally guilty and should be prosecuted and convicted for violation of the Hobb’s Act, 18 United States Code Section 1951 et seq. See, United States v. Dan Alexander (1985) Both cases are available online for free by searching their full names.

    • Thank you of course you are correct. Problem is the existing people in charge of our legal system get to choose when and who will be charged with a crime rather than applying the law equally to all.

  2. They are following their puppet-master in trying to deligimiza Isael and dehuminza Jews as prelude to Holocaust II.

    They don’t have the discicline and technical might of the Nazis but they do have an overabundnace of ignorant hatred and oil & gas and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

  3. Such ignorance on the part of the anti-Israel “student protesters” is no surprise at all.

    Little do those non- Muslim young people on Campus at NYU and other universities and colleges throughout the United States who are against Israel and hold up signs that read “Free Palestine: have know idea or understand that history reveals that the ancient Philistines recorded in the Bible and history came from the Greek Islands and some parts of the mainland Greece. They have no connection, at all, the to the Arab /Muslim of modern times who called themselves the “Palestinians.”

    From those ancient people, the Philistines, the word “Palestine” .came into being.

    There is no genuine ethic group or race who are the “Palestinians.”

    Early in the last century a anyone living in that land, Arab or Jew, who lived in that land was called a ”Palestinian.”

    Only after 1964 did the Arab/Muslims start to refer to themselves , exclusively , by the word “Palestinian.”

    The reason for that is that they felt that by giving themselves that title they would appear to have some kind of valid claim on that land.

    Indeed , there never was a “Palestinian state.”

  4. It’s sad and even tragic that those naïve and brainwashed young college and university students non–Muslims Americans throughout the United States, who are protesting against the State of Israel and who likewise greatly favor Hamas are people who are ,rightly , described ,as the “useful idiots” of the leaders of Hamas and their jihadist members who are dedicated to the cause of conquest for the cause of Islam.

    Those Americans who aren’t Muslims the stooges of those Hamas chefs and the other Muslim terrorist, For those of Hamas view all people who are not Muslims as inferior creatures to them and refer to them .

    Behind their backs as , “Kafirs,” which is the Islamic derogatory term for “disbelievers”

    It’s tragic that those non-Muslims pro-Hamas America protesters against Israel are so very deluded by Hamas that this Islamic terror / murder organization so easily manipulates and uses them as their tools.

    Those poor young people are ,truly, their useful idiots.

  5. There is obviously something terribly wrong with a those young people on campus who aren’t Muslim who nevertheless admire and support that vicious dangerous and deadly jihad entity ,Hamas. It might be that they had been deceived, as in lead astray by misinformation by the propagandists for Islam. ?

    They, sadly, are confused or outright ignorant or both on the subject of Israel and the religion of Islam with its Muslim terrorist organizations.

    Those people must not be aware of the wicked dangers of that demonic jihad entity, Hamas, with is jihadists, have no limits, at all, to its cruel heinous and vile horrendously horrific Islamic evils that it so maliciously and murderously commit.

  6. This is the quality of a 2024 liberal “collige iducashun”. Jan 5 2025 they need to lose their national accreditation. And be forced to pay back all student costs from the day they started at the college.

  8. Yes, our future leaders led by disassterous present (leladers?) I am 95 and was raisxed in an erss all this would have been unheard of.. Sure we were going through some growing plains. bussing, segregration, educational opporfnuity nd mush more. Butalof this was growig pains,not treasonous activity. KEN

  9. Both of the students in this interview are sadly a fair example of what’s out there being manipulated to the max without realising what they are being asked to support, abuse of any kind is wrong and they are being abused.

  10. According to the feature article:

    QUESTION: “Why are you protesting?”

    PROTESTER #1: “I don’t know. I’m pretty sure there’s something about Israel [turns to other person] Why are we protesting?”

    Conclusion:

    1. Protest.

    2. Then later, find out why you were protesting.

    • Though these girls are clueless about the Israel-HamAss conflict, they seem good-hearted and attractive (despite accessories such as the nose ring).

      And yes, they seem blissfully unaware that girls like themselves were raped and butchered at the Nova Music Festival and in the kibbutzim in Israel on October 7th.

  12. Women who protest in Iran get hung. The islamic republic of Iran supports hamas. These women support hamas. I cant even begin to explain that.

    Girls like this need to begin their transition to a muslima way of life. A life that will be much different than the lifestyles and traditions Western women have been blessed to enjoy.

    Just take comfort in the fact that for every one of her there are thousands and more females against her.

    • Where are the modern day suffragettes? Out of the West. from the West 100 years ago?

      What are the girls waiting for. When will they do something anything in opposition to this crazed ideology? Today there is a greater threat to women than there ever has been in the past,.
