Last year we watched racist Democrat students using mob violence on college campuses to harass and physically attack Jewish students and campus employees while leftist college Presidents sat on their hands and refused to stop the violence. The mainstream media was preoccupied with the J-6 Capitol incursion and completely ignored these attacks on the Jewish community. The Democrat prosecutors refused to prosecute the perpetrators of violence against the Jewish people. Finally, some of the victims of the Democrat violence are going to court to obtain some justice against the lawbreakers.
Last year, several janitors at Columbia University in New York City were overwhelmed and imprisoned by Democrat students and agitators who were angry at Jewish people because of the Israeli response to the Hamas slaughter of innocent Israelis.
Two janitors, Mario Torres and Lester Wilson, were working at Columbia’s Hamilton Hall when students in masks rushed into the building and barricaded the exits. The organized protestors at first told Torres to leave but he refused to leave his work post. After he realized the protestors were becoming “violent and threatening,” Torres attempted to leave the building. The protestors refused to allow him to leave the building and they accused him of being a “Jew-lover” and a “Zionist.”
Torres was then manhandled and he began to fear for his life. During the evening, Torres noticed that the protesters were highly organized.
Earlier in the evening, one of the groups went on X and called its supporters to “MOBILIZE TO COLUMBIA NOW.” An hour later the protest groups broke into the building.
This incident precipitated an occupation that took weeks to end. The leadership of Columbia was paralyzed and unable to protect Jewish students from the violent protestors.
Imagine if some South African white student had violently occupied a building at Columbia and terrorized minority students and called them “__igger lovers.” Do you think the leadership of Columbia would have taken weeks to end the harassment?
In a similar case, several students and professors at UCLA are suing protest groups under the KuKluxKlan Act of 1871 alleging that anti-Israel groups “plotted, coordinated and executed a common plan to deprive {the students and professors} of their rights and to “subject plaintiffs to racial intimidation and violence to stir up race hatred at UCLA.”
These lawsuits will bring to light how the Democrat Party and their leaders aided the antisemetic thugs who harassed Jews across our country.
It is ironic that, since Trump took office, the harassment of Jews on college campuses has become almost non-existent. No additional laws were passed! The racist thugs knew at the time that the Democrats would not stop them from harassing and intimidating Jews.
THE SAME THUGS KNOW BETTER THAN TO TRY THAT BEHAVIOR WHILE TRUMP IS PRESIDENT!
