College students spark outrage by honoring the ‘Martyrs’ of Palestine

Students at the University of Washington and across the country at Georgetown University gathered to praise the Hamas terrorists who butchered 1,300 Israelis over the weekend, launching the region into a bloody war.

At the University of Washington, video footage captured several Jewish students in tears as they pleaded with an administrator to put a stop to the pro-Palestinian rally, at which students condoned violence against Israel and the Jewish people. ‘They want our people dead. They want us killed,’ sobs one student to an administrator who appears to be listening, but indicating that there is noting he can do. ‘How are you allowing this? Why aren’t you putting a stop to this?’ she asked through uncontrollable tears. ‘Please end it. Please,’ she begged.

The event at the campus’ red square had been advertised by a radical student group who said their goal was to ‘uplift the just Palestinian resistance’ and ‘condemn the settler colonial state of Israel.’ Flyers for the event featured a drawing of a paraglider similar to the ones that militant Hamas terrorists used last Saturday to fly into southern Israel and massacre scores of innocent concert-goers.

A different video taken in red square shows pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian protestors facing off against one another, as anger from both sides boiled over and face-to-face confrontations broke out. At Georgetown University in Washington, DC, students held a vigil for the Palestinian martyrs who died over the weekend killing Israelis. ‘Glory to our Martyrs,’ read one sign hung directly above another that read: ‘Justice = Peace.’ ‘Do you support decolonization as an abstract academic theory? Or as a tangible event?’ read one sign written by the group Students for Justice in Palestine.

The students endorse the barbaric weekend attacks as a ‘tangible’ step toward ‘decolonization.’ Jonathan Neman, a Georgetown graduate and the co-founder and CEO of Sweetgreen, commented on the post: ‘As a Georgetown alum this makes me very sad to see.’ Neman is one of the CEO’s who said he supported hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman’s request that Harvard University unmask the identities of the students who signed a letter in support of the Palestinian cause – including the Hamas attacks – in order to ensure they are never hired by his company.

Anti-Israel demonstrations have popped up at virtually all elite US colleges in the time since Hamas terrorists attacked the Jewish state in a coordinated land and air attack on Saturday morning. The indiscriminate killing of women, children, the elderly, and innocent men alike involved decapitation, burning families alive, and rampages through peaceful kibbutzim, in which entire communities were annihilated.

At New York City’s Ivy League University, Columbia, a 24-year-old Israeli student was physically assaulted Wednesday night. At Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, an associate professor cheered on Hamas’ brutal attacks, calling Saturday’s massacre an ‘ extraordinary day. ‘

Soon after the attacks in Israel began, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared the country was once again at war with its hostile neighbor and that the mission is to wipe every Hamas member off the face of the earth.

The IDF has since launched a number of counteroffensive attacks, including some 6,000 bombs that have been launched at Gaza.
