CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 11, 2025
THERE’S NOTHING LIKE THREATENING TO DEPRIVE A UNIVERSITY OF FEDERAL MONEY TO GET THEIR ATTENTION. COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IN NEW YORK HAS BEEN ALLOWING ANTI-SEMETIC DEMONSTRATIONS ON ITS CAMPUS SINCE THE MASSACRE AND KIDNAPPING OF ISRAELIS ON OCTOBER 7, 2023.
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS THREATENED TO WITHHOLD $400 MILLION IN GRANTS TO THE UNIVERSITY IF ADMINISTRATORS DON’T PUT A STOP TO THEM. TO EMPHASIZE HOW SERIOUS HE IS, A PALESTINIAN ACTIVIST AND FORMER STUDENT HAS BEEN ARRESTED BY ICE AGENTS. MAHMOUD KHALIL, ADVOCATES “THE TOTAL ERADICATION OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION.”
SUDDENLY, COLUMBIA OFFICIALS ARE WANTING TO HAVE TALKS WITH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ABOUT HALTHING THESE DEMONSTRATIONS THAT FOMENT HATE AGAINST JEWS AND ISRAEL. MANY JEWISH STUDENTS SAY THEY FEEL UNSAFE ON CAMPUS.
IMAGINE IF THESE DEMONSTRATORS WERE WHITE SUPREMECISTS, OR ANTI-GAY. YOU KNOW CAMPUS POLICE WOULD HAVE MOVED IN. TOLERATING ANTI-SEMETISM MEANS GETTING MORE OF IT THAT CAN EVENTUALLY LEAD TO VIOLENCE, EVEN MURDER. THE HOLOCAUST IS PROOF ENOUGH OF THAT FACT. THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL. THE LACK OF MONEY CAN CAUSE A UNIVERSITY TO WISE-UP. I’M CAL THOMAS.
