Anti-Israel protesters at many of America’s universities have been consulting with and sometimes trained by left-wing groups and activists, some of which have ties to support of terrorism, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
Protesters at universities across the country have consulted with groups like National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP) and Samidoun: Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, in some cases resulting in months of training, planning and encouragement, according to the WSJ. Administrators and police have battled pro-Palestinian protesters in recent days at schools like Columbia and the University of California, Los Angeles, in some cases calling in officers with riot gear using tear gas and flashbangs.

Students at Columbia attended a “teach-in” run by former members of the Black Panthers prior to protesting, who educated them about handling internal disputes in political movements and discussed the parallels between gentrification in Harlem and the conflict between Israel and Palestine,

“We took notes from our elders, engaged in dialogue with them and analyzed how the university responded to previous protests,” said Sueda Polat, graduate student and organizer in the pro-Palestinian encampment at Columbia, told the WSJ.
The NSJP, which has over 300 chapters across the country, has been involved in the organization of many pro-Palestinian demonstrations on college campuses as of late, according to the WSJ. The group has utilized social media to give advice to protesters, like covering their faces and how to deal with police and protests, as well as calling for universities to divest from Israel.
Columbia held “Resistance 101” training in March for students, which included a guest speaker from controversial Canada-based group, Samidoun, which celebrated Hamas’ attacks on Israel on Oct. 7 that sparked the recent conflict, according to the WSJ. The school opposed the event, twice banning it due to organizers’ ties to terrorism, with students hosting it virtually anyway, resulting in several suspensions.

Hamas’ initial attack on Oct. 7 of last year killed roughly 1,200 people, and the group still holds both Israeli and American hostages. The U.S. State Department has recognized Hamas as a terrorist organization since 1997.
A group of law firms representing victims of recent Hamas attacks launched a suit on Thursday against the NSJP and the American Muslims for Palestine, arguing that the groups worked to propagandize and advance Hamas’ goals.
RICO
“RICO”
Not with this administration. They would be alienating a big portion of their voting base. Now if these were Conservatives involved, then the administration would be all over them.
No doubt.
They know the routine too well.
I can’t wait to use all these new tools the left sought to use against us against them!!!
RICO for any protest!
and the best one is we can now shoot unarmed protestors like Ashli Babbit was shot!
Color me shocked. This is part of a bigger plan. To be specific, a push for a communist revolution.
Anti-Israel protests cause global warming. All that marching causes global warming. Where is Greta so she can stop all these protests. How dare they protest and cause global warming. Remember the science is settled.
Yep!
Someone installed a large video screen at UCLA and is running footage from the October 7 attacks.
Here’s a website with the footage - most of it made by the attackers who were proud of their actions that day.

I’ve noticed that a handful of the identified leaders are long time, well known commies.
Anyone surprised by that has not been paying attention.
This is the fruit of the commie long march to institutional control. It has resulted in 90% of industry/institution being controlled by commies, Marxists and their sympathizers.
Wonder is the trainers were really Black Panthers and not New Black Panthers. The NBP makes the BP look moderate.
So they should have the Dem convention rioters well trained by then
Groovy
Burn, baby burn
Surprised??
