The Israeli PM Netanyahu on Wednesday "condemned" pro-Palestinian protests at universities in the US as “horrific”, saying the demonstrations “have to be stopped”, as he categorized students as antisemitic.
“Antisemitic mobs have taken over leading universities,” he claimed.
“What is important now is for all of us, all of us who … cherish our values and our civilisation, to stand up together and to say, ‘enough is enough’,” Netanyahu said.
With almost dangerous lack of knowledge, Analyst Erick Stakelbeck and Bears for Israel vice Sharon Knafelman discuss "anti-Israel protests" across American campuses on Fox News.
In this report, the students protesting the war in Gaza on U.S. college campuses get compared to the early Nazi movement the 1930's.
Stakelbeck adds that if these "pro-Hamas terror sympathizers" were able to get their hands on a Jewish student, they would do bodily harm.
