Former US President Donald Trump recently slammed down the anti-Israel protests erupting all across the campuses of the country as a radical revolution and bowed to deport foreign students’ protestors if he wins the upcoming presidential elections. According to a US national daily, Trump, while speaking at a donor event in New York called the demonstrators part of radical revolution and promised to crush all pro-Palestinian protests on US college campuses.
He also praised the New York Police Department for clearing the campuses at the Columbia University and other cities needed to follow suit saying it has to be stopped now, in an apparent reference to the anti-Israel protests. “One thing I do is any student that protests, I throw them out of the country. You know, there are lot of foreign students and as soon as they hear that they’re going to behave, Trump said on May 14, 2024.
“If you get me elected, and you should really do this, if you get me re-elected were going to set that movement back 25 to 30 years, he added. An American media agency cited donors who were present at the event. Speaking behind close doors, the former president also said that he supports Israel’s right continue its war on terror and boasted of his White House Policies towards Israel.
Meanwhile, the Trump Campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt blamed US President Joe Biden for empowering the protestors. “Joe Biden has sided with radical leftist democrats like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Talib and empowered anti-Semitic protestors destroying our college campuses and threatening to undermine our democracy, Leavitt said. President Trump will side with Jewish Americans and American citizens, period and will not tolerate terrorist sympathizers on our college campuses.
Previously Trump had publicly vowed to clamp down on anti-Israel protestors. Weeks after the October 7, Hamas attack, Trump pledged to deport the Resident Aliens who joined the Jihadi Protests. “If you hate America, if you want to abolish Israel, if you sympathise with jihadists, then we want you are not going to be getting in our country,” Trump said reported an American media agency.
“I will cancel all the student visas of Hamas Sympathizers on college campuses and resident aliens who join in pro-Jihadi protests, he went on. “Come 2025 we will find you, and we will deport you,” he said. In the recent meeting Trump again supported Israel’s right to continue its attack on Gaza. “But now, I am the only one that says, and a lot of people don’t even know what October 7, 2023 is all about, he said.
