'American Friends for Hamas' asks Portland college students for donations to 'destroy Israel' — and the woke youngsters are only too happy to help

May 26, 2021

Ami Horowitz — a creator of digital shorts that throw conservative light on sociopolitical issues — is at it again.

What are the details?

Horowitz decided to pay a visit recently to left-wing bastion Portland State University to pose as a worker for "American Friends for Hamas" — a made-up group — who asks students to pledge donations in order to assist the terrorism-loving organization to carry out its mission to "destroy Israel."

And boy, did Horowitz lay it on thick for the camera.

"We're not your father's terrorist organization," he told students without a hint of tongue in cheek. "We've kind of evolved beyond that. It's still kind of what we do, but we've kind of rebuilt and rebranded ourselves and, you know ... Hamas is where it's at!"

Horowitz even added the telltale rolling tongue on the "H" for extra Middle Eastern authenticity.

He proceeded to tell students that his group was raising money to help "fund operations against Israel" — and that they were looking to hit "soft targets" in "civilian populations" such as cafes, schools, hospitals, and places of worship to "make 'em feel it."

And no students seen in the video ran for the hills upon hearing Horowitz's genocidal pitches.

"That's the only way you can fight back, really," he said.

Horowitz even likened a "suicide bomber" to "kind of like the poor man's F-15."

"Right, right," one student responded in apparent agreement.

'We're looking to destroy Israel'

Further on in the open-air chats, Horowitz described "American Friends for Hamas" as "next-level BDS" — the acronym for the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement — and "we're looking to wipe Israel off the map … we're looking to destroy Israel."

He added that "we don't want just Gaza, we want to have all of Israel."

Incredibly Horowitz also told at least one student that "to get peace you first gotta destroy some stuff, you know?"

How did students react?

There was no apparent pushback from students on the video Horowitz produced.

"I actually have been learning in this last school year about everything that's going on over there," one student told him. "So, I like the sound of what you're doing, it sounds like the right thing to do."

Another student said, "I'm totally against the Israeli genocide."

The video captured a number of students pledging to "American Friends for Hamas" in relatively small dollar amounts — all for the cause of killing off Israel. Horowitz wrote in a Fox News op-ed that it took him only about an hour to raise "hundreds of dollars for Hamas."

Would that be the same crowd of students who want taxpayers to cover their student loan debt?

So these students are supporting a foreign terrorist group. Expel them, then throw the book at them.

Another student said, “I’m totally against the Israeli genocide.”

"Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."

I believe it refers to the fact that while the Roman soldiers knew they were killing a convicted man they DIDN'T know they were nailing up the Son of God, they couldn't understand that even though they had been given the word.

What gets me here is that these "students" know exactly what destroying Israel means but all the noise in their Social Media echo chambers declares that genocide and murder are ok as long as those being killed are Jews. Ugly stuff and scary.

Just strip them all naked, put them all in a big room, lock the doors and pump in the gas. Maybe then they’ll begin to understand the history of the people they seem to hate so much.

If I lived in Portland I would move. That place is making news for terrible things every day. This is a US state and sounds like a third world country. Riots constantly. If anyone here lives there I don’t mean your bad people I hope you get out of there. Place has gone to hell. Businesses burned down and people getting killed and hurt for no reason other than the politicians have picked that place to let it happen. Get the leaders if Oregon out of office. Surprised the people there haven’t done something about it.

An Antifa food cart for rioters sourced about $300,000 via gofundme, and disappeared.
