(PJ Media) You don’t really believe that those protests sprang up from nothing to engulf the nation, do you?
According to an investigation by the Wall Street Journal, activist individuals and groups — some of whose experience goes back to the 1960s — had been helping to plan and train students in protest tactics going all the way back to March 2023.
At Columbia University, student organizers consulted with National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP) as well as Black Lives Matter and other left-wing groups experienced in organizing protests.
The students researched past protests at Columbia, as well as the history of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. They attended a “teach-in” conducted by veterans of the Black Lives Matter protests.
“We took notes from our elders, engaged in dialogue with them and analyzed how the university responded to previous protests,” said Sueda Polat, a graduate student and organizer in the pro-Palestinian encampment at Columbia.
As early as October, NSJP was promoting a “day of resistance” with protests at colleges. It appears that the nationwide network of loosely connected radical-left activist groups that activates every time there’s a “cause” to agitate for latched on to the divestment issue promoted by NSJP and ran with it.
Where are they getting the money?
A representative for Wespac, Robert Herbst, said, “Wespac has not coordinated, trained or strategized with protest participants, nor do we support organizations that have supported violence, antisemitism or terrorism.”
At a planning session for the protests at Columbia last March, the student organizers heard from activists from the Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network (“Samidoun”). The Vancouver British Columbia-based group celebrated the October 7 attack on Israeli civilians and gave the lie to Wepac’s pious denials of supporting terrorism.
Samidoun coordinator Charlotte Kates said, “There is nothing wrong with being a member of Hamas, being a leader of Hamas, being a fighter in Hamas. These are the people that are on the front lines defending Palestine.”
The stupid children they are weaponizing in their genocidal fight with Israel don’t have a clue.
The Journal reports that “The German government banned the group last November after saying it supported terrorism and antisemitism, and incited the use of violence to enforce political interests.”
