Across the nation last week, radical leftists rallied to support the murderous thugs of Hamas on numerous college campuses.
That wasn’t just in the Ivy League or other pricey elite schools. In the Sunshine State that list included the University of Florida, Florida State University, and the University of South Florida.
As concerns about the safety of Jewish students on these campuses grow, former President Donald Trump called for the pro-Palestinians on these left-wing campuses to get the boot.

“What happened in Israel was barbaric!” Trump said Saturday on his social media platform, Truth Social. “Now American Universities are allowing or enabling the open hatred against Israel and America!”
“Instead of educating our young Americans, Deans stand idly by while subversive groups are calling for a National Day of Resistance,” he added. “Not only is this antisemitic, it is also anti-American.”
“Students have begged Deans to throw these subversive groups off campus. We banned Nazis, banned Communists, it is about time that we remove these antisemites from our schools or is the Cancel Culture only used against Conservatives?”
Trump’s comments come after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and others who were demanding that pro-Hamas students be held accountable for backing thugs who murdered more than 1,300 Israelis and wounded thousands more.
On Friday, the Tallahassee Democrat reported that DeSantis wanted college presidents to do more to ensure the security of Jewish students.

“The behavior we have witnessed [from Hamas sympathizers] is unacceptable,” Jeremy Redfern, the governor’s press secretary, told the Democrat. “University officials must step up and protect Jewish students from threats of violence and intimidation.”
“Governor DeSantis expects nothing less than the full enforcement of Florida laws by those empowered to do so.”
The governor’s office was responding to a letter from GOP Rep. Randy Fine, who is Jewish.
“We say Florida is the best place in America for Jews,” Fine wrote. “It’s time to prove it. Right now. Today. These children must not spend one day more surrounded by these animals.”
“Any student participating in the rallies of these organizations must be treated like a student screaming the n-word and calling for Black students to be lynched. They would be expelled.”
Fine specifically cited a state law DeSantis signed in 2019, which makes it illegal and akin to other forms of discrimination to participate in “calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews.”
Another voice who weighed in for tougher sanctions of anti-Israel leftist protester was conservative journalist Christopher Rufo, whom DeSantis appointed to the board of New College in Sarasota.

“Conservatives need to create a strong association between Hamas, BLM [Black Lives Matter], DSA [Democratic Socialists of America], and academic ‘decolonization’ in the public mind,” he said Friday on X, formerly Twitter.
“Connect the dots, then attack, delegitimize, and discredit. Make the center-left disavow them. Make them political untouchables.”
