This should have been the case from the beginning. If these groups targeted any minority group besides Jews, they would have been shut down instantly.

Time to ban pro-Palestine (Hamas) groups on campus, just like KKKCollege is a place where differing viewpoints and ideas should flourish and clash, but institutions have long had a responsibility to avoid formal recognition of hate groups such as the KKK or the Nazi Party. Today, in the wake of growing pro-Palestinian terror, groups supporting that terror should be added to this list.In recent years, since the American campus protests in support of Hamas’ terror attack on October 7, 2023, some colleges like Columbia University have canceled recognition of some pro-Palestine groups such as Students for Justice in Palestine, but it’s not enough.After 31-year-old Elias Rodriguez allegedly murdered Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky two Israeli Embassy staffers on Wednesday night in Washington he can be seen on video yelling, “free free Palestine” in exactly the 60s style, sing-song cadence that echoes across our campuses.On those campuses we also hear a call to “globalize the intifada,” precisely the call answered by Rodriguez. The intifada, after all, is an invitation to murder civilians in the name of Islam. Why would any American university allow itself to be associated with that?These schools may argue that it is possible to be a pro-Palestinian group on campus without advocating for violence, that only fights for fairness, but that is not what “from the river to the sea means,” it means the destruction of Israel and the killing of Jews.How much daylight is there between a movement that would presumably eradicate all Jews in the Levant in the name of Palestinian birthrights and one that would kill minorities in the name of racial purity?The pro-Palestinian movement has many similarities to the banned KKK, both groups cast themselves as ethnic victims, both embrace terror tactics, both wear masks and symbols of violence from the white hood to the green Hamas headband, and obviously both hate Jews, but claim they only hate “what Jews have done,” or something.Neither group has any place on any college campus.
