Police have arrested more than 2,000 people during pro-Palestinian protests at college campuses across the United States in recent weeks, according to an Associated Press tally Thursday.
The big question now is will these college riots that seek to destroy Israel and the Jews break out from being only on college campuses and begin to appear in the downtown streets like the riots of 2020 did before them? It all depends on how much more funding that George Soros is willing to give them, I suppose, because he is the main one behind it all. Joe Biden today finally took a position on the riots, condemning them, but only after Trump had called him out for staying mostly silent.
“They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.” Psalm 83:4 (KJB)
The situation is politically complicated for Biden, who is already facing blowback from portions of his base over his handling of the Israel-Hamas war. Thousands of voters have cast protest ballots against Biden in Democratic primaries, and a CNN poll released over the weekend showed Biden trailing Trump among young voters. The longer the riots go on, the more it benefits Trump and his efforts to win re-election. Israel is also showing signs that a ceasefire may not be in the offing, and that will certainly extend the rapidly-worsening situation.
At least 2,000 people arrested at pro-Palestinian protests on US campuses
FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS: Demonstrations — and arrests — have occurred in almost every corner of the nation. But in the last 24 hours, they’ve drawn the most attention at the University of California, Los Angeles, where chaotic scenes played out early Thursday when officers in riot gear surged against a crowd of demonstrators.
Hundreds of protesters at UCLA defied orders to leave, some forming human chains as police fired flash-bangs to break up the crowds.

At least 200 people were arrested, said Sgt. Alejandro Rubio of the California Highway Patrol, citing data from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Rubio said they were being booked at the county jails complex near downtown Los Angeles. UCLA police will determine what charges to bring.
Later Thursday morning, workers removed the barricades and dismantled the protesters’ fortified encampment. Bulldozers scooped up bags of trash and tents. Some buildings were covered in graffiti.
Tent encampments of protesters calling on universities to stop doing business with Israel or companies they say support the war in Gaza have spread across campuses nationwide in a student movement unlike any other this century.
The demonstrations began at Columbia University on April 17, with students calling for an end to the Israel-Hamas war, which has killed more than 34,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, according to the Health Ministry there. Israel launched its offensive in Gaza after Hamas militants killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took roughly 250 hostages in an attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7. READ MORE
