Hamas, Iran Praise anti-Israel College Protests in US: 'Leaders of the Future'

By: Samantha Kamman – The Christian Post; christianpost.com

An official with the Palestinian terror group Hamas and the supreme leader of Iran have praised the growing college campus protests in the United States against Israel’s military offensive in Gaza, including pro-Hamas demonstrations at Columbia University that have driven fear into the hearts of Jewish students. 

Columbia University in New York City announced a shift to hybrid classes after protestors set up a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” last Wednesday. This led to the arrest of more than 100 people after Columbia University President Minouche Shafik authorized police to clear the camp. The demonstrators resettled the encampment, and there have been multiple reports of Jewish members of Columbia’s community feeling unsafe due to the encampment. 

The demonstration has prompted calls for the Biden administration to take away the school’s federal funding and discipline the demonstrators, which some say should include revoking the visas of the students expressing support for terrorist groups.

On Wednesday, Izzat Al-Risheq, a member of Hamas’ political bureau, accused the Biden administration of violating student and faculty rights, claiming that they are only rejecting “the genocide that our Palestinian people are the subjected in the Gaza Strip at the hands of the neo-Nazi Zionists.”
