Despite warnings from university administrators that such speech and demonstrations would not be permitted‚ an unauthorized pro-Hamas protest erupted on Columbia University’s campus on Wednesday. Israeli Columbia professor Shai Davidai — who has previously sounded the alarm regarding openly anti-Semitic activity at the prestigious school — shared some details about the event in a thread posted to X‚ noting that the university still appeared reluctant to take even the smallest steps to put a stop to it. “An UNAUTHORIZED pro-Hamas protest‚” Davidai began. “By refusing to hold the organizers accountable‚ Columbia is sending a big f*** you to every Jewish and Israeli student‚ faculty‚ or staff. The President of Columbia needs to be held accountable.” Everything is so egregious‚ I don't even know where to begin. So let's start with this: Here is one of the main organizers‚ riling up the crowd by telling them that there is nothing more honorable than dying for a noble cause. Where have I heard that one before? pic.twitter.com/fGlgbMRWVA — Shai Davidai (@ShaiDavidai) January 24‚ 2024 He then shared the first of several videos‚ which featured a speaker who told the crowd that there was “nothing more honorable than dying for a noble cause.” “Where have I heard that one before?” he asked. The next video featured a chant calling for the genocide of all Jews and the elimination of Israel as a Jewish state. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “From the river to the sea‚ Palestine will be Arab‚” he quotes the speaker as saying. “According to this person‚ my 93 year old Jewish grandmother and 4 year old Jewish niece do not have a right to exist in Israel. So much for ‘peaceful’ protests.” Here's a third organizer at @Columbia‚ calling for an armed resistance in NYC! Remember: during the 5 years of the 2nd Intifada in Israel‚ there were 144 suicide bombing. Almost 700 Israeli civilians were murdered. How is it OK to call for killing civilians in the U.S? pic.twitter.com/5QGKnRbbJf — Shai Davidai (@ShaiDavidai) January 24‚ 2024 A third organizer riled the crowd further‚ calling for “armed resistance.” ”How is it OK to call for killing civilians in the U.S.?” Davidai asked. Remember: EVERYTHING you just saw is against @Columbia's rules. 6 weeks ago‚ the President of @Columbia said that speech like this "will not be tolerated." Well‚ guess what? Not only does she fucking tolerate it‚ she is REFUSING to do anything about it. pic.twitter.com/hh86HxzIUj — Shai Davidai (@ShaiDavidai) January 24‚ 2024 Davidai shared one additional video of the chants‚ after which he again pointed out that everything said and done at the protest was in violation of stated university policy. “Remember: EVERYTHING you just saw is against @Columbia’s rules. 6 weeks ago‚ the President of @Columbia said that speech like this ‘will not be tolerated.’ Well‚ guess what? Not only does she f***ing tolerate it‚ she is REFUSING to do anything about it.” Davidai then stated that the university was aware of who was leading the protests‚ saying that alumni and donors — as well as prospective students — should be paying close attention to the school’s repeated failure to address anti-Semitic protests and demonstrations.

A House panel has scheduled a meeting to prepare articles of impeachment for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of the border crisis. The Homeland Security Committee picked 10 a.m. ET on Tuesday‚ January 30‚ to hold a session to mark up articles of impeachment against the Biden administration official for “high crimes and misdemeanors” after releasing several interim reports and wrapping up hearings last week. “Over the last year‚ the House Committee on Homeland Security conducted a comprehensive investigation into the causes‚ costs‚ and consequences of the unprecedented crisis at America’s borders‚ holding 10 hearings‚ publishing six reports totaling roughly 400 pages‚ and conducting extensive interviews with chief patrol agents for the U.S. Border Patrol‚” Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) said in a statement on Wednesday. “Our thorough and fair investigation exposed Secretary Mayorkas’ abuse of power and refusal to comply with the law. In November‚ 201 Democrats voted to refer articles of impeachment against the secretary to our Committee and‚ having completed impeachment hearings earlier this month‚ we plan to mark up those articles next week‚” he added. All sorts of political wrangling has permeated the effort‚ whether its Republicans disagreeing over whether to quickly try and impeach Mayorkas or follow “regular order‚” or Democrats in the House panning the impeachment proceedings as a “political stunt.” The White House has gone as far as to claim the endeavor is “unconstitutional” while Mayorkas himself has been working with Senate negotiators on devising a border security deal coupled with aid for U.S. allies and clashed with the committee over giving testimony during the hearings. “This unprecedented process‚ led by extremists‚ is harmful to the Department and its workforce and undercuts vital work across countless national security priorities‚” the Homeland Security Department said in a recent memo about the impeachment effort that was sent to The Daily Wire and other members of the media. “Unlike those pursuing photo ops and politics‚ Secretary Mayorkas is working relentlessly to fix the problem by working with Republican and Democratic Senators to find common ground and real solutions.” The memo added‚ “Members of Congress serious about addressing these challenges should oppose this baseless impeachment that is going nowhere and instead work with the Department to keep America safe by properly funding DHS’s vital missions and reforming our broken immigration laws.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP There is a bipartisan appetite in the House for changing the status quo‚ even if there is disagreement on how to address the border crisis amid a surge in crossings and blue cities around the country getting overwhelmed with migrants. Fourteen House Democrats broke ranks and joined with most Republicans in voting to denounce the Biden administration’s “open-borders policies” last week. Green said over the weekend that he believes there will be enough support to ultimately impeach Mayorkas when it comes to a House floor vote. “In the Committee’s impeachment hearings‚ members received testimony from top legal officials that detailed how Secretary Mayorkas has failed to uphold his oath of office‚ how his actions and decisions rise to the level of impeachable offenses‚ and how his misconduct is costing states across the country‚” Green said in his statement on Wednesday. “We also heard from Americans grieving the consequences of Secretary Mayorkas’ refusal to comply with the law and his abuse of power‚ which has cost American families countless innocent lives‚” the chairman continued. “This Committee has conducted extensive oversight and passed historic legislation to secure the border. However‚ the final remedy for dealing directly with Secretary Mayorkas’ willful and systemic disregard for the rule of law is impeachment. After three years of this crisis and a year of investigations and proceedings‚ we must move forward with accountability.”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis backed Texas Governor Greg Abbott this week as he fights against the Biden administration to secure Texas’ border with Mexico to stop millions of illegal aliens from flooding into his state. DeSantis’ statement comes after the U.S. Supreme Court sided with the Biden administration this week‚ ruling that it could cut through or remove sections of razor wire that the Texas National Guard has placed along the border to stop illegal immigration. “If the Constitution really made states powerless to defend themselves against an invasion‚ it wouldn’t have been ratified in the first place and Texas would have never joined the union when it did‚” DeSantis wrote on X. “TX is upholding the law while Biden is flouting it. FL will keep assisting Texas with personnel and assets.” If the Constitution really made states powerless to defend themselves against an invasion‚ it wouldn’t have been ratified in the first place and Texas would have never joined the union when it did. TX is upholding the law while Biden is flouting it. FL will keep assisting… https://t.co/qOJY2zT1hG — Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) January 24‚ 2024 Abbott said on Wednesday that Biden’s failures to secure the border “imposed by Article IV‚ § 4 has triggered Article I‚ § 10‚ Clause 3‚ which reserves to this State the right of self-defense.” “For these reasons‚ I have already declared an invasion under Article I‚ § 10‚ Clause 3 to invoke Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself‚” he concluded. “That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary. The Texas National Guard‚ the Texas Department of Public Safety‚ and other Texas personnel are acting on that authority‚ as well as state law‚ to secure the Texas border.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP DeSantis weighed in earlier in the week after the Supreme Court sided with the Biden administration by allowing the government to take down the razor wire. “Texas is trying to enforce our laws and uphold our sovereignty while the federal government is disregarding the law and ignoring its responsibility to protect our borders‚” he said. “What an upside down world.” The Supreme Court is siding with the Biden administration against Texas by allowing the federal government to take down razor wire on the border.
