Watch: AOC Sends Signal to College Protesters, Within Hours Mob Forces Columbia to Take Drastic Action

TRIANGLE, VIRGINIA - APRIL 22: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is introduced before U.S. President Joe Biden takes the stage on Earth Day at Prince William Forest Park on April 22, 2024 in Triangle, Virginia. Sanders joined Biden as they announce a new seven billion dollar "Solar For All" program with the Environmental Protection Agency as well as an American Climate Corps initiative, while commemorating the 54th anniversary of Earth Day, started in 1970 to raise awareness and support for environmental protection.

What part of “Never again” do they not understand?

For decades, the two words have been used as a declaration that nothing like the Holocaust of the 1930s and ’40s would ever again be visited upon the world’s Jews.

Never. Again.

That’s why Israel was reconvened.

“Never again” was once a common phrase on the campuses of leftist universities with large numbers of Jewish students and faculty.

Not anymore.

America’s elite universities are being torn apart by pro-Palestinian activists — foreign and domestic — launching vicious demonstrations against Israel’s defense of itself following the Hamas terrorist attacks on Oct. 7.

And, no surprise here, the vitriol is not limited to Israel — it is targeting Jews. Some receive abuse just walking down the street.

One woman, a Columbia graduate student wearing an Israeli flag, said she was hit with anti-Semitic hostility upon exiting a New York City subway, according to National Review.

“I can tell you in the past 30 seconds that I got off the train I was called a ‘Zionist b****,'” she said. “I’ve been called a ‘genocidal b****.’

“I’ve been called 30 other forms of ‘genocidal b****’ within the last 30 seconds just walking over to the street. And that’s very typical of an experience for a Jewish student on this campus today.”

The woman told of a fellow student spit upon “just because she looks Jewish.”

We’ve seen this before. Not just in Germany, but for centuries, almost as long as there have been Hebrews on God’s Earth.

Now New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has chimed in on the campus rallies against Israel. So has a fellow Democrat, Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman.

Since Ocasio-Cortez always seems to be on the wrong side of history, she, of course, favors the pro-Palestinian demonstrations.

Fetterman, who continues to surprise despite his party affiliation, is opposed.

AOC celebrated the anti-Israel protests while speaking Monday at an Earth Day event in Virginia with President Joe Biden.

“It is especially important that we remember the power of young people shaping this country today of all days, as we once again witness the leadership of those peaceful student-led protests on campuses like Columbia, Yale, Berkeley and many others,” she said.

The leftist congresswoman has at least one fan in a powerful place.

“Representative Ocasio-Cortez of New York — you know, I learned a long time ago: Listen to that lady. Listen to that lady,” Biden said.

In the wake of Ocasio-Cortez’s comments, the ugliness intensified at Columbia and spread south to the campus of New York University, where demonstrators clashed with police.

As things continued to escalate, Columbia announced Monday night that classes would be hybrid through the end of the spring semester.

“Safety is our highest priority,” the university said in a memo to students and faculty — seemingly acknowledging how unsafe Jewish students have been feeling.

While AOC celebrated the supposedly “peaceful protests,” Fetterman had a different view.

“These protests are antisemitic, unconscionable, and dangerous,” the senator said in a Sunday post on X.

He called upon Columbia President Minouche Shafik to “do your job or resign.”

I fully agree with the White House—these “protests” are antisemitic, unconscionable, and dangerous.

Add some tiki torches and it’s Charlottesville for these Jewish students.

As Shafik testified before Congress last week, protesters were on campus chanting, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” and accusing Columbia of supporting genocide, according to National Review.

Before the House Workforce and Education Committee, the university president said she had not witnessed any “anti-Jewish” demonstrations on campus.

Rather, Shafik allied herself with Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ocasio-Cortez’s close political ally and fellow “squad” member, who said the campus demonstrations are focused only on the issues of pro-war and anti-war.

So far, I’ve heard no one in the current turmoil voice the words “Never again.”
