Anti-Semitism is the gift that keeps on giving to Donald Trump!
 They're baaaaaaack at Columbia University, this time occupying the
library 5/7/2025, and protesting on the street in front of various
campus buildings.
 It's so odd that this doesn't happen in places outside the top 3 media
markets.

 As long as Trump can point to this, he'll continue to yank student visas
of people who are NOT causing trouble while patting himself on the back
claiming to crack down on anti-Semitism.
 In the meantime, the protestors are effectively keeping Hamas in power
which means there's no solution for the starving people of Gaza.
 Keeping Hamas in power IS NOT a solution for Palestinians. Getting rid
of them and freeing the hostages -- any that are still alive -- must be
a prerequisite for actual peace.
 Both Trump and the protestors are in the wrong.

I don't understand: What would you like Trump to do? Leave the protesters alone to spew their nonsense?
Also, there's a comment I've seen under various videos that implies that visa students who aren't causing trouble are not as innocuous as they might seem: Radical islamists are the snakes in the grass; moderate Muslims are the grass.
I know that the Koran calls for all Muslims to bring all non-Muslims to Allah. I *don't* know how seriously "moderate" Muslims still take that demand of their religion. Do they all secretly believe it and work for it or is some significant percentage of them happy to practice tolerance to other religions (and the irreligious)? It's very hard to know what is in someone's heart.
