Imagine a Hamas massacre a la Oct. 7 on American soil. That’s what these jihadis, and their useful idiots, want.
“Jewish City Council members call on CUNY to act after protesters rally to ‘bring the war home,’” by Jackie Hajdenberg, JTA, September 5, 2024:
New York City Council members are calling on CUNY to act after multiple Hillel events have been protested by anti-Israel activists calling to “bring the war home.”
One of the CUNY campuses, Baruch College, told the New York Jewish Week it condemns the protests and is committed to student safety. But in a reflection of the challenges facing the 25-campus public college system, Baruch’s statement noted that the protest took place in a public space, limiting the steps the university could take to combat it.
The Hillel centers at Baruch as well as Hunter College were both recently picketed with identical banners reading “Bring the war home” and “Hillel go to hell.” The banners also featured an inverted triangle, a symbol of Hamas, as well as a picture of an assault rifle.
On Tuesday, as Jewish students dined at a kosher restaurant in midtown Manhattan as part of a Hillel-organized back-to-school event, they were protested with the same banners by an organized group whose students are affiliated with CUNY. Video from the protest posted by the Hillel also showed the small group of protesters singling out the Hillel’s director, chanting “Ilya Bratman what do you say? How many kids did you kill today?”
“At what should have been a warm welcome for new students at our annual Welcome Back Dinner at the kosher restaurant Mr. Broadway in midtown, we were met with hate instead,” Baruch Hillel posted on Instagram. “This is the reality Jewish students are facing today on American college campuses.”
Bratman, executive director of Baruch Hillel, which operates as a seven-college consortium within the CUNY system, did not respond to the New York Jewish Week’s request for comment. But Felix Matos Rodriguez, the CUNY chancellor, criticized the protest in a statement and said CUNY was investigating.
“I was deeply disappointed to learn demonstrators disrupted a Hillel welcome dinner for students from CUNY and universities across the City, turning an event designed to help freshmen acclimate to college life into a disruptive hate-filled display that has no place in our city,” he said. “We are investigating Tuesday night’s incident and will not hesitate to enforce CUNY disciplinary actions, as appropriate, if any of the demonstrators are members of the CUNY community. The safety of everyone in our community remains our top priority.”…

The time for “talking” and reasoning is done. Rabbi Meir Kahane wrote in one of his books, “every Jew a .22.” It’s now time for that!

Preferably a .22 magnum.

Rodriguez is probably full of it. We’ve all heard this type of empty rhetoric a hundred times before, such as “We’re investigating,” We’re monitoring,” “There will be consequences,” etc. Almost certainly, nothing will happen to these thugs. Nothing.

CUNY: Pro-Hamas demonstrators protest Hillel events, carry banners saying ‘Bring the war home’
………………………………………….
“Bring the war home”–in other words, kidnap, rape and murder Jews *here in the West*, like the attack in Israel on 10/7. Just horrifying.
