The media and Democrats want you to believe that the campus riots were free from outside agitators, but you should not necessarily believe that story like you did with Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and the myth about Joe Biden’s competence. More than 45% of protesters arrested at Columbia University and the City University of New York were not affiliated with either university. And I would be willing to bet Democrats no longer try to hide their hatred of Jews and Israel. There were professors at both universities who stirred up trouble during the riots.
Being anti-Semitic is practically a prerequisite for hiring purposes at American universities. Democrats no longer try to hide their hatred of Jews and Israel. And they would love you to believe that the riots were made up of nothing but college students in order to protect the radical elements below their roof. And their ties to those same groups. Except for the members of “The Squad.” They hate Jews and Israel, but at least they are honest about it.
“Students inside the encampment began to warn us that outsiders among them were planning to take over a building,” City College President Vince Boudreau wrote in an email Wednesday to students and faculty:
VISIT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELWhen students briefly occupied an administrative building on the City College grounds in Harlem Tuesday night, he said, campus public safety entered it and arrested 31 protesters, none of whom were City College students. Of the 31 individuals arrested, five were affiliated with CUNY as students or employees, while at least 10 were not residents of New York State, Boudreau said.
Columbia President Minouche Shafik in a memo Wednesday also blamed “protests that have persistently mobilized outside our gates” for making many students feel “uncomfortable” and “unwelcome.”
Columbia history professor Mae Ngai told Al Jazeera that protests at the university were led by students and that politicians were the outside agitators.
“They’re the outsiders trying to tell our university how to run its affairs,” she told the outlet.
Student protesters who spoke at a news conference Wednesday outside CCNY called the involvement of outside agitators a “myth.”
That’s what leftists claim. Data from the arrests shows that about a third of those arrested were “students” over the age of 30, according to the New York Daily News.
Mayor Eric Adams said that his belief that the protesters were influenced by “outside agitators” was based on his own “gut reaction” to what he thought was happening at the protests.
“They came back, substantiated on the Columbia grounds and other grounds that there were those that were professionals who participated in training, participated in some of the activities,” he said.
The outsiders were well-schooled in co-opting a mob without the mob even being aware of it. That’s the sign of professional agitators.
It’s not just happening in New York. The University of Texas cited its own statistics to suggest that outsiders co-opted the protests.
“The University of Texas learned Tuesday that, of the 79 people arrested on our campus Monday, 45 had no affiliation with UT Austin,” the university shared in a statement Tuesday.
“These numbers validate our concern that much of the disruption on campus over the past week has been orchestrated by people from outside the University, including groups with ties to escalating protests at other universities around the country.”
There’s no “setting the narrative” this time. The evidence, although circumstantial, points explicitly at a network of pro-Palestinian agitators who were either already in place at campuses around the country or who migrated to campuses once the opportunity presented itself.
A “myth,” indeed.
