Trump knocks Biden on anti-Israel protests

Former President Donald Trump has slammed anti-Israel protests raging on college campuses as a “disgrace” while putting the blame on President Joe Biden.

According to Fox News, Trump said “What’s going on at the college level … Columbia, NYU and others are a disgrace. And it’s really on Biden”.

The former President made the remark outside the courtroom ahead of entering Manhattan court on Tuesday.

“He’s got the wrong words. He doesn’t know who he’s backing. And it’s a mess. And if this were me, they’d be after me, they’d be after me so much, but they’re trying to get him a pass. And what’s going on is a disgrace to our country. And it’s all Biden’s fault, and everybody knows it. He’s got no message, he’s got no compassion and doesn’t know what he’s doing,” Trump continued, adding Biden is the “worst president in the history of our country.”

DAILY POST reports that antisemitism has intensified on the campuses of some of the United States’ most elite universities in recent days.

This includes protesters on Columbia’s campus saying that Jewish students were Hamas’s “next targets” amid ongoing demonstrations.

More than 100 students were arrested on Columbia’s campus last week, while dozens more were arrested on Yale’s and NYU’s campuses this week.

Some students were reported to have also established encampments on campus demanding their schools completely divest from Israel.

A rabbi at Columbia had warned Jewish students to vacate campus due to antisemitism.

“Al-Qassam you make us proud, kill another soldier now,” protesters on Columbia’s campus were seen chanting over the weekend, referring to the military wing terrorist organization Hamas.

On his part, Biden told reporters Monday that he condemned the antisemitic protests.

“I condemn the antisemitic protests. That’s why I have set up a program to deal with that. I also condemn those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians,” the President said.

However, Trump said in his comments on Tuesday that Biden is “no friend of Israel” or the “Arab world.”

“It all starts with Joe Biden. The signals he puts out are so bad. And I can tell you he’s no friend of Israel, that’s for sure. And he’s no friend of the Arab world either.”
