Security Expert Warns Campus Anti-Israel Groups Are Becoming More Radicalized

“I’m really concerned because I’ve seen this movie before”

Mitch Silber reminds us that when the campus radicals of the 1960s saw that their protests weren’t doing anything, they morphed into terrorists.

From the Times of Israel:

Echoes of the radical 1960s

“I’m really concerned because I’ve seen this movie before,” said Mitch Silber, executive director of the Community Security Initiative (CSI). CSI is a joint UJA Federation of New York and Jewish Community Relations Council of New York (JCRC) initiative to safeguard the greater New York City Jewish community.

Silber served as director of intelligence analysis at the New York City Police Department before joining CSI. Today, he teaches about terrorism at the university’s School of International and Public Affairs and said he sees parallels between the current anti-Israel groups on campus and the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), a group in the late 1960s that among other things opposed US involvement in Vietnam.

“They protested and protested but nothing changed regarding US foreign policy. Eventually, some students peeled off to form the Weather Underground, and they turned to domestic terrorism,” said Silber.

“Now, more than a year into the protests, the encampments, the building takeovers, nothing has changed. They aren’t getting it done and the retraction by CUAD shows they are getting more radical. We are on the same trajectory,” Silber said.

According to an online list, CUAD groups include overtly pro-Palestinian groups, but also clubs seemingly unconnected to the Gaza war, such as Columbia Queer and Asian, BOSS Barnard Organization of Soul and Solidarity, Reproductive Justice Collective, Global Learning Exchange, Third Wheel Improv and Columbia Chicanx Caucus.

Those on the more radical trajectory include anti-Israel groups such as Students for Justice in Palestine, Jewish Voices for Peace, and other members of CUAD who have participated in training sessions with outside groups such as Within Our Lifetime and activists in the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network.

That’s because they have always been the exact same group of people, albeit a new generation. Same as the “Stop Oil” morons and the BLM and AntiFa losers.

They protested and protested but nothing changed regarding US foreign policy.
Baloney. It was never about changing policy to suit the sensibilities of a few idiot students. It was always about undermining our gov’t, in general. It was always a Soviet funded movement with the ultimate goal of bringing violence to America to instigate the “revolution of the proletariat” and such. This movement is THE. EXACT. SAME. ONE.

And, just as it was then (though never actually coming to that), the best way to handle these folks is with Minutemen. No, I don’t mean multi-warhead nuclear missiles (though I wouldn’t turn down that offer out of hand if they were targetted properly). I mean with John Q. Public physically removing them from public spaces and shooting whatever of them decide to go full Billy Ayers. Remind them that – unlike the countries of old the commies targeted – we ARE the country they are trying to destroy, and we don’t take kindly to that.
