Leftist Response to Hamas Attacks
- Thread starter GURPS
- Start date
Oh, Portland. This morning’s top story comes from the Times of Israel, since U.S. media found the story too obscure to publish. The Times’ headline yesterday read, “Portland pro-Palestinian group claims it torched 17 cop cars.” First off, torching a fleet of cop cars is NOT domestic terrorism. That label is reserved for Christians protesting abortion clinics. And sane people:
As the image above shows, apparently Portland’s anarchistic Antifa groups have their own website and a blog. Porlanders, try to follow me here, but you can use the website to find the criminals.
Anyway, according to the manifesto claiming responsibility, Antifa, who was so very active during the 2020 Summer of Protest supporting black folks, has unfolded a different section of its utility knives, and now supports radical religious jihadi muslims in Palestine. Not everyday Palestinians, mind you. They like the terrorist ones. Not only that, they claimed their attack supported native Americans and black folks and students and even anarchical heroes of history. Here’s what the “Rose City Brigade” said in its statement:
Makes sense. I mean, if you’re going to burn up a whole fleet of police cars, you might as well pile in as many different groups as you can. Portland’s anarchists did, stretching all the way back to 1886 to find comrades to share in the sweet anti-cop glory.
The putatively untraceable May 2nd website post (no arrests have been made) went on to provide a lengthy list of suggestions for student protestors, about how to make their pro-Palestine protests even more violent. “If the cops come,” the Rose City Anarchists encouraged students, “don't just resist arrest, fight them!” It relied on simple logic: “They will hate you and beat you if you're peaceful or violent, and it is time to be violent!”
As a lawyer, I should pause at this point to suggest students should consider ignoring Antifa’s advice, and cooperating when confronted with tense, anxious law enforcement officers authorized to use deadly force to uphold the law. Especially when you act violent.
But I’m not sure what the Antifans were worrying about in any case. The students, the Portland Library Free Palestine Occupation Operation (PLF-POO), taught the Millar University Library a lesson it won’t soon forget:
Sadly, students have lost access to their library, which is closed for the remainder of the year, boarded up. But the protest violence against school property has had an effect, turning the tide: a spokesvehicle for the surviving Portland police car fleet said it gives up, it will accede to the anarchists’ demands as soon as it can figure out what the they are.
It’s been a week since the preemptive po-po burning. Local Fox-12 reported this weekend that cleanup efforts were underway after three days of mostly-peaceful protests at Portland State University, its library, and nearby businesses. The protests are now over. They’ve re-opened Portland U.’s campus. Except for the library. Which wants to let the protestors know it is very sorry and please don’t occupy it again.

Media ignores Portland attacks; Chinese scientists editing Ebola DNA to make it easier to transmit; corporate media freakout over fast food inflation; and Iowa joins Texas against Biden; and more.

Maybe they were EVs that all asploded at the same time
Either that or a false flag. The coppers love them some false flags.
Pro-Hamas Freaks Win Hearts and Minds By Vandalizing a WWI Memorial and Burning an American Flag
There are two ways to look at this. If you're optimistic, you could assume that these people are alienating Americans with their actions. That's certainly what I hope is taking place. I can't imagine most people see this insanity and think it's a good thing. Certainly, it's not in doubt which political party has fomented the breakdown of respect and order in society.
Then there's the most pessimistic viewpoint, which is to note that the 2020 BLM riots didn't cost Democrats anything in the following two election cycles. Americans have very short attention spans, and there's still a lot of time before November arrives. If things calm down in the streets and on college campuses (and Israel is likely to win the war in the next few weeks now that the Rafah invasion has begun), then much of the chaos will be forgotten. That's what Democrats are counting on, at least.
Meanwhile, you've still got people like Bill Kristol mumbling about a right-wing "authoritarian movement" that doesn't exist while left-wing authoritarians shout their crazed, violent desires right out in the open.
He punched everybody BUT the load mouthed bitch.
No, I think the short bitch with side buzz cut at the end was the one shouting.
Is Soros Buying Universities’ Silence on Anti-Semitic Agitators?
Both the New York Post and Politico have reported on Soros’ connections to the groups leading the anti-Israel protests. And now, an MRC Business investigation exposed how Soros has also given at least $34,638,060 to the nine universities that have made headlines for their slow response to anti-Semitic protests and riots, as well as their ineffectual or possibly even sympathetic administrators.
Among the recipients of Soros funding connections were Columbia University, Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of North Carolina (UNC), University of Southern California (USC), City University of New York (CUNY), the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and, of course, the University of California Berkeley from 2016 to 2022.
Soros also poured money into media and journalism-related initiatives at several of these schools, including $2,399,360 to Harvard, $1,827,560 to Columbia, $366,369 to UNC and $125,000 to CUNY.
The accusations of anti-Semitic sentiments at Harvard, MIT, UPenn and Columbia were so severe that all four presidents of these universities have been called to testify before Congress. The presidents of UPenn and Harvard resigned in disgrace due to their failure to address campus anti-Semitism. Former Harvard President Claudine Gay also failed to clearly condemn the anti-Semitic phrase “From the River to the Sea,” which calls for the genocide of the Jewish people. The president of Columbia only allowed police to clear out trespassing anti-Israel agitators after they barricaded themselves inside a building, trashed it and prevented people from going in or out.
Report: Pro-Hamas Campus Agitators Trained with Communists in Cuba
ADN America named Manolo De Los Santos, a far-left activist believed to have incited the storming of Columbia University’s Hamilton Hall in late April, as having deep ties to the Castro regime and its figurehead president, Miguel Diaz-Canel, with a long track record of political activities in Cuba spanning multiple years.
De Los Santos is the executive director of The People’s Forum, a far-left organization that is highly sympathetic to the Cuban and Chinese Communist Parties and which describes itself as “an incubator of movements for the working class and marginalized communities.”
ADN America noted that its report coincides with a report that the New York Post published on Sunday that said that The People’s Forum has been urging anti-Israel protesters at campuses to “rekindle the bloody Black Lives Matter riots of summer of 2020.”
The People’s Forum is one of several far-left organizations at the forefront of the wave of anti-Israel protests that erupted following Hamas’s unprecedented October 7 attack on Israel that left more than 1,200 dead and hundreds taken hostage.
ADN America reported that The People’s Forum organized a protest in Times Square, New York, one day after the October 7 attack, where attendees celebrated Hamas’s actions while waving signs that contained antisemitic slogans and imagery.
According to a 2015 interview, De Los Santos was born in the Dominican Republic and moved to the South Bronx, New York, with his family when he was five years old. The far-left activist reportedly first visited Cuba in 2006 through Pastors for Peace, an organization that is part of the National Network on Cuba (NNOC), a coalition of pro-Castro regime organizations in the United States.
At Cuba’s Matanzas Evangelical Seminary, De Los Santos conducted Marxist-driven liberation theology studies — an ideology that experts describe as a creation of the Russian KGB “to enroll Latin leaders” in the erstwhile Soviet Union’s espionage operations.
“[De Los Santos] has been traveling to Cuba since at least 2009 and has been prominently featured in the Cuban-regime press for almost a decade,” ADN America stated in its report.
Ohio AG Dave Yost: Pro-Hamas Protesters Could be Prosecuted Under KKK Law
There are similar state laws, such as a 1953 Ohio law that “makes it a fourth-degree felony for two or more people to commit any crime together ‘while wearing white caps, masks, or other disguise,” a Columbus NBC affiliate reported.
Yost’s letter says, in part (original emphasis):
Yost urged educators to make students aware of the law and penalties.
Pro-Hamas “encampments” have appeared on dozens of campuses throughout the country, using antisemitic rhetoric
They posted videos of their occupation, describing the piled-up chairs blocking the hall as a "thesis." There was also a picture painted on the wall of Leila Khaled, who was a plane hijacker, as a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), "a secular Palestinian Marxist–Leninist and revolutionary socialist organization." You can watch the occupiers' video here on X.
They were demanding that the school declare the "Israeli Occupation of Gaza as genocide," and that the school divest from companies that are "implicated in sustaining Israeli Apartheid."

We also learned that day from campus police that most of what they found outside of personal belongings would be sent to the dump.
Queen City News reporter Sydney Heiberberger tweeted that the encampment came down "QUICK" once they got started in the early morning hours on Tuesday:
The very next day, the Usual Suspects held a press conference and decried their allegedly awful treatment by administrators and police, claiming that suspensions were handed out and that "UNCC’s actions are making everyone less safe."
UNCC issued two statements after the encampment was cleared, with the first saying that the actions taken by some of the protesters were "not free speech" and that "they disrupt campus operations and pose a threat to campus safety."
The second one went into far more detail, and sent a signal to those who were considering putting up another encampment and disrupting the education of other students that it would not be tolerated. Not surprisingly, UNCC pointed out that the "peaceful protesters" the media keeps telling us about were not peaceful after all despite UNCC's attempts to try and work with them. Perhaps even worse was what they did with a mattress:
In other words, FAFO.
