University of Michigan protesters call for ‘Intifada,' demise of Israel: ‘A call to murder Jews'

2023-01-15

[NY Post] Social media users were shocked and outraged over a recent anti-Israel rally put on by pro-Palestinian protestors at the University of Michigan this week.

The question is whether this was the bright idea of the Muslim Students Association (Muslim Brotherhood), BLM/Antifa (Black Bloc anarcho-communist syndicate), or the local Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS, a project of the PLO) chapter before pulling in the others because it’s all about intersectionality nowadays.

Clips of the protest depicted marchers, chanting "Intifada, Intifada! Long live the Intifada" a call to violent overthrow of the Jewish state inspired by Palestinian riots and rebellions against Israel in the late 80s, early 90s, and early 2000s.

"There is only one solution!" a female marcher was seen chanting, as the crowd behind her responded, "Intifada! Revolution!

Marchers, seen walking around the Ann Arbor campus screaming into bullhorns and waving Palestinian flags, were also heard chanting the infamous anti-Israel call to arms: "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!"

Media reported that the antisemitic rally was held to protest Vice President Kamala Harris’ Thursday visit to the campus, where she gave a speech on climate policy, and student activism. The protestors appeared to be standing against U.S. government support for the state of Israel.

Another video depicted the marchers outside of campus building in which Harris was giving her speech, saying, "Not another nickel, not another dime, no more money for Israel’s crimes."

The blatant call to overthrow Israel disturbed prominent Twitter users, who were stunned that such sentiment was expressed so freely on a major American college campus.

Jewish Journal columnist Blake Flayton tweeted, "At the University of Michigan, a call to murder Jews."

Rep. Jared Moskovitz, R-Fla., spoke to the shocking nature of the rally, tweeting, "Using Hitler’s word ’solution’ is intentional here. Israel has a right to exist. We will never compromise that. The Jewish people have a right to exist. We will ensure."

Free Beacon reporter Joe Gabriel Simonson mocked the protesters, tweeting, "Loser activists think this is an intifada."

The Manhattan Institute’s Ilya Shapiro put out a snarky comment about the protest, stating, "It’s because @UMich spends only $18 million annually on DEI."

Former Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas,

Eh? Senator Cruz beat “Beto” O’Rourke to retain his seat in 2018. He’s the ranking member on the Senate Commerce Committee, as well as happily causing trouble on Foreign Relations, Judiciary, and several others.

national security advisor Boris Ryvkin condemned the rally, writing, "Terrifying. Echoes of what happened in Charlottesville, except the violent anti-Semites are cut from a different cloth. I expect major media to give this the saturated, wall-to-wall coverage it gave that event with the WH, Democratic leaders and the Squad members condemning it."

Mediaite reporter Isaac Schorr remarked, "Not making the best case for your ability to handle your own state, kiddos."

Popular conservative account AG tweeted, "I don’t think most people truly comprehend the level of hate and hostility for Jewish students in several of the top liberal Universities because the school administrations tend to support/enable this stuff."

Hollywood producer and The Spectator columnist Daniella Greenbaum Davis empathized with the Jewish students at University of Michigan. She tweeted, "The first and second intifada saw terrorists brutally murder innocent civilians. Can’t even imagine being a Jew on Michigan’s campus right now."

Author Samuel Rosenfeld tweeted, "Sickening... @UMich."

#3 "Israel has a right to exist. We will never compromise that. The Jewish people have a right to exist. We will ensure."

"The white people have a right to exist. We will ensure."

Funny how Jewish people will 100% agree with the first but will say the second is anti-Semitic and must be immediately censored lest the word get out.

Since Liberal Universities already expel students for racist remarks. Shouldn't these students be given the same application of Justice?

#1 How many were there? Who organized the protest? Did faculty participate? Were they all students or did they include Somalis from Hamtram? Usual lousy reporting.
