What's happening on college campuses isn't about Gaza. It's not about Israel. It's about America, which the terrorists of the Tentifada hate and want to destroy. Defund, deport, expel, arrest, and take this national security threat seriously.
I've been telling you. Are you paying attention? This is not about Jew. Not about Israel. It’s about overthrowing America.

You can't kidnap babies. You can't rape women. You can't murder civilians. I mean, what CAN you do to express your pride in Palestine? I mean, other than stand up to its despotic overlords, like literally every other Arab nation has done these last few years.
You can’t protest peacefully. You can’t boycott. You can’t hunger strike. You can’t hijack planes. You can’t block traffic. You can’t throw Molotovs. You can’t self-immolate. You can’t heckle politicians. You can’t march. You can’t riot. You can’t dissent. You just can’t be.
