Protest at Columbia

The recent wave of protests erupting at Columbia University has brought to light a stark reality: Americans are fed up with bankrolling the atrocities in Gaza and their government's insatiable appetite for perpetual warfare. Governor Kathy Hochul's recent visit to Columbia, purportedly to combat "anti-Semitism" and ensure public safety, fails to grasp the deeper sentiment of her constituents and America at large. The protestors, far from singling out Jewish students, are aiming their dissent at the Biden administration, Speaker Johnson, and both major political parties. These demonstrations decry the continued funneling of resources into the war machinery of Israel and Ukraine, prioritizing military-industrial interests over the welfare of the American populace. The outcry extends beyond Columbia's campus, rippling through institutions like Northeastern University, MIT, Emory College, University of Texas, and University of California. These diverse protests underscore a mounting frustration with Biden's handling of the Israel-Gaza conflict, posing a significant risk of alienating his core supporters.
