    Ironically, one might describe MAGA as a political movement in which politics has been replaced by religion.

    Or more simply, as a political movement with a thick religious veneer of dubious quality.

    I think that's what makes his articles so fun to read. It's obvious that he loved writing it!

    Indeed, only the infestation and plague of the Academia is with the Progressive cult.

    Dr. Mordechai Keidar is the recognized expert on the Middle East, Islam etc.
    Highly regarded and respected scholar. He is featured on Islamic TV stations in some Arab countries as well.

    The future plans of Hamas are actually his analysis, the video is in Hebrew, so I didn't post it.
    But here is a short clip of his interviews in English.



    Here is a longer one, if one wants to get a different understanfing.

    "Intifada" on campus: Pro-Palestinian protesters barricade themselves in a building at Columbia University
    Dozens of protesters broke into the Hamilton Hall, blocked it with furniture and hung a Palestinian flag and a "Palestine be free" sign. The institution, which began suspending students who refused to vacate the protest camp, limited access to students and faculty only. Dozens arrested in protests on campuses across the US.

    The lesson for administrators is to clear out a protest the moment you see a tent.

    This tent protest thing seems kind of strange to me. Maybe I'm just more familiar with the protests from the 60's and 70's where there was mostly just marching or standing around. Sometimes they would stop traffic but the police would break those up pretty fast. The tent camps are occurring on property so it's trespassing. That seems like it could usually be resolved fairly quickly?

    Multiple dults are preventing protesting students from speaking with non protesters.
    As soon as trying to approach a protester for discussion the older adults get involved and prevent students from talking to others.
    I visited one such protest where pro Pali and pro Isra clashed.
    I thought I'm in West Bank.
    The protesters look like Palestinians youth rioters in West Bank,
    And the older adults seem to be some kind of organizers.

    "Spineless administrator" is a trope for a reason.

    Here in NYC the "spineless administrators" have given ultimatum deadlines, and then allowed deadline after deadline to slide, doing nothing other than say the equivalent of "I really, really mean it this time!"

    Um. Just clearing out an encampment immediately might not be the best idea. The confrontation can easily turn violent. Sometimes violence is necessary to preserve public order but escalation can have unpredictable consequences.

    The New York City Police Department released a video showing a professional "protest consultant" who was seen on other social media videos instructing a mob of anti-Israel agitators as they took over Hamilton Hall at Columbia University overnight Monday.

    New York City Mayor Eric Adams spoke about outside agitators during a press conference Tuesday evening.

    "What should have been a peaceful protest, it has basically been co-opted by professional outside agitators. We were extremely cautious about releasing our intel information because our goal was to ensure the safety of the students, the faculty, and without destruction to property," Adams said. "We have sounded the alarm several times before about external actors who attempted to hijack this private protest."

    I too read about that prior to the police moving in. I figured it won't be a complete and real story until after we see who all got arrested and the police interview the detained individuals.

    Deputy Commissioner Tarik Sheppard shows the chains used to secure Hamilton Hall at Columbia University. "This is not what students bring to school. This is what professionals bring to campuses and universities."

    I've seen people use that kind of chain on bikes. But it is just silly BS anyway. Obviously someone went to the hardware store and bought those just to chain up all the doors. It proves and shows absolutely nothing.

    Note: I'm glad the police cleared out Hamilton Hall. That is a good thing in my opinion. I just checked CNN website. No news articles yet doing any analysis of who was arrested. The longer it takes, the more likely it is nothing to write about and the stories about professional protestors, ANTIFA , etc. is just all paranoid BS.
