How to handle the pro-terrorist protests

As colleges across the nation dither and fret over how to deal with violent, pro-terrorist protesters, they should look to University of Texas President Jay Hartzell for a clue. Despite Austin's reputation as an island of leftist insanity inside an ocean of Texas rationality, Hartzell was having none of the aggressive anti-Semitic antics seen elsewhere. When protesters refused to follow the rules, he called in the cops and had over 30 of them arrested.
Hartzell said in a statement:
"Today, our University held firm, enforcing our rules while protecting the Constitutional right to free speech. Peaceful protests within our rules are acceptable. Breaking our rules and policies and disrupting others' ability to learn are not allowed. The group that led this protest stated it was going to violate Institutional Rules. Our rules matter, and they will be enforced. Our University will not be occupied."
Hear, hear! I'd suggest putting him in charge of Harvard, but he probably wouldn't want the demotion.
For those defending people who are threatening Jewish students while shouting their support of the mass murderers of Hamas (like our President), here are two good points:
Several commentators have asked how the universities would react if they had extremist mobs on their campuses shouting the same kind of slurs and threats against black people that they're aiming at Jews. And Tyrus on "The Five" made the excellent observation that there should be no such term as "pro-Hamas." If you're publicly shouting your support of this known terrorist group, you're just "Hamas." And you should be treated accordingly.
Sidenote: Dana Perino said on Fox News that the NYPD reported that many of these anti-Israel "protesters" being arrested aren't undergrads but are 25-29 years old. So they're either professional agitators or they're proving my theory that it takes a long time in one of our institutions of higher learning to become that stupid.
As always, the Babylon Bee nailed it:
Related: I'm sure it will warn the black little hearts of all the over-indulged radical morons at Columbia University to know that their support of Palestinian terrorists has not gone unappreciated. Palestinian terrorists have declared their support for the Columbia protesters, too.
I'd say that should make them think twice about whom they've aligned with, but I don't believe they're capable of thinking even once.

Biden's own "fine people" remark is last straw; Dershowitz pulls away from Democrat Party
Apr 23, 2024
One thing we've always known about my friend, Prof. Alan Dershowitz: he is as loyal as they come. For some reason, when it came to the Democratic Party, no matter what the Democrats did, no matter how conniving and tenuous their legal arguments, how hateful and abusive their rhetoric, how damaging their policies, and how brazen and sociopathic their leaders, the longtime liberal civil rights champion was always rock-solid loyal to them come Election Day. He proudly voted the straight-party Democrat ticket, no matter what. He had always "identified" as a Democrat, and that was it.
The anti-Israel protests erupt

The latest: When police tried to disperse protesters at NYU, some turned violent and started throwing bottles, resulting in mass arrests, and it's about time (but does anyone want to venture a guess as to how many minutes they'll spend behind bars? Or if they've already been released?)

Iran attacks Israel
Apr 15, 2024
Saturday evening, Iran finally made good on its years of threats and launched a direct attack on Israel, sending 185 drones and 110 missiles. Fortunately, the drones were slow-moving and between Israel's defenses and the aid of US and UK forces, they were all shot down. There was only one casualty, a seven-year-old Arab Bedouin Muslim girl who was struck on the head with shrapnel in Arad. I want it known that I am as sick and furious about that innocent little girl's senseless death as I am about the deaths of Israelis at the hands of Iran-funded terrorists.
Shocking Betrayal
Mar 26, 2024
In what can only be considered a shocking betrayal of our closest ally in the Middle East, the Biden Administration refused to veto a UN resolution demanding an unconditional ceasefire in Gaza. The resolution didn't even call for Hamas to release its hostages (who include AMERICANS) as a condition of the ceasefire.
