WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?
Powerline ^ | 29 Apr 2024 | John Hinderaker

So who is behind the kill-the-Jews campus protests that, as Steve noted earlier today, have panicked Congressional Democrats who fear a political debacle as in 1968? Consistent with the retro nature of the protests, the organizers appear to be largely left-wing retreads, with a financial assist, it is reported, from one or more Soros entities.

Take, for example, Charlotte Kates. Kates has been prominent in the Columbia protests:

Radical anti-Israel activists told Columbia students, “There is nothing wrong with being a fighter in Hamas” — weeks before the campus exploded in pro-Palestinian protests.

In a two-hour tirade to the hardest core of anti-Israeli activists at Columbia and its sister college, Barnard, Charlotte Kates, international coordinator of Samidoun, the Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, said, “These [Hamas] are the people who are on the front lines defending Palestine and fighting for its liberation.”

Kates gets around. Most recently she was in Vancouver, where she praised Gaza’s October 7 massacres...

Charlotte Kates, the international coordinator for the allegedly Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-affiliated (PFLP) Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, led demonstrators in a chant proclaiming “Long live October 7.”

“We stand with the Palestinian resistance and their heroic brave action on October 7,” Kates said in her speech on the steps of the Vancouver Art Gallery.

What possesses people like this? Hamas would repeatedly rape her and then murder her, yet she supports them. I just don't get it.

Obviously someone is financing them b/c none of them have jobs.

Someone is paying them to protest, camp out and scream into microphones for hours on end.

She should raise money to send the Palestinians to Iran.

Plenty of land in Iran.

Plenty of sympathy and support in Iran.

I think the answer is in your question, actually.

Some, more than likely. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

Some are probably just idiots who have had “a cause, being part of a protest” romanticized by Leftist professors” - so they latch on to any rebellious thing that they can.

Communism possesses them. The PFLP has always been a communist front group.

White commie lady isn’t worried about getting raped or killed by her fellow travelers.

I hear a lot of them are being paid by Soros and FJB’s imported Muslims from Afghanistan and our open borders. Like Laura Loomer said it’s only a matter of time …she has seen them walking the streets of New York. I think New York and this country needs to pass a law that if you’re going to protest masks should be prohibited. A law needs to be passed regarding this situation because they can’t be identified immediately. I’m pretty sure our military took pictures of the Afghanistan POS when they were being processed. So there is identification it’s just a matter of removing their head covering and face masks. But as you and I know our Congress our judicial branch and the DC EVIL SWAMP are worthless! Now you know why the globalist were pushing so hard for the masks. Coincidence my behind you know they have an evil strategy plan and it’s working perfectly. I never thought the American people would be this spineless. To have been alive when my mother and mother-in-law lived in America. Yes, we had our problems our prejudice, but not to the point where the media has exploited it and now people believe it. World War II showed what American men were made out of. You had 16-year-olds registering to go to war . You had a line around the building at the recruiting centers. Yes, that was America back then. I miss it so much. COLLEGE ARE EFFIN CANCER TRASH!!! So sad!

how many of these “protesters” crossed into our country in the last year through Mexico or biden flew in. This is an invasion. These “protests” have nothing to do about Jews, Hamas and Israel.... it just an a tool, an excuse trying to bring about conflict with law enforcement and Nation Guard to increase violence and create excuses for more and more major violence.

The financial assist comes from the money that valerie jarrett sent to Iran. The mullahs send this to Soros’s kid who deducts his commission and hires smelly hippie thugs.

I call this a real Win/Win situation.

The Iranians obviously love the Palestinians because they support them.

Iranian families could show their support by taking a Palestinian family into their home.
