The clip below begins with an update about how the pier building is proceeding outside of Gaza. It is supposed to be a landing spot for humanitarian aid. Israelis are supposed to control one facet‚ the US another‚ and the Gazans (Hamas) the other. The problem is that Hamas will regard anyone besides themselves as […] The post Houthis Claim Victory as US Leaves to Build Hamas’s Pier appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

“Morning Joe” host Mika Brzezinski raised the specter of the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill during Tuesday’s broadcast‚ saying that as they devolve into chaos and violence‚ the anti-Israel protests on college campuses have taken on the same look. Brzezinski addressed the issue with her guest‚ the Anti-Defamation League’s Jonathan Greenblatt‚ who said that anti-Semitism has risen dramatically on college campuses as the protests grow into “Gaza Solidarity Encampments.” In some cases — a few of which have been caught on video — masked protesters have physically blockaded Jewish students and refused to speak with reporters.

What a terrible example for our students.” pic.twitter.com/9v0296agsZ — Citizen Free Press (@CitizenFreePres) April 30‚ 2024 Brzezinski‚ upon viewing footage of some of the protests‚ made the connection to January 6. “That’s the place we’ve all been sitting in‚ watching this‚ going‚ ‘What the hell is going on&;#63; What are these universities doing&;#63; Why aren’t they doing something&;#63;’ And I’ll echo the horror that this does look like January 6th. What a terrible example for our students‚” she said. Brzezinski went on to warn that if they persisted in such actions — especially if things escalated to more vandalism and even violence — the students risked throwing away everything they’d worked for in getting to college‚ as universities have begun to threaten protesters with suspensions and even expulsion. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “I think these college students obviously are missing the part where they need to see what’s going on across the country with these protests‚ that it’s now in the realm of violence‚ it’s in the realm of hatred whether some are peaceful or not‚” Brzezinski continued‚ suggesting that they engage in debate on the issues rather than participating in protests and violence. “They need to watch the news and look at all the different arguments and be adults or start learning to be adults.” Brzezinski is not the first to draw a comparison to January 6. Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo made the point several days earlier‚ wondering why people were not as angry about the anti-Semitic protests as they had been about the Capitol riot.

A “mob descended” on journalist Ami Horowitz when he brought an American flag into the anti-Israel encampment at the City University of New York‚ yet he was the one who ended up detained by the police‚ he tells The Daily Wire. Horowitz says that he was attacked by the pro-Hamas mob three different times and was detained and questioned by police‚ all while his attackers were allowed to continue occupying the campus‚ undisturbed by the authorities. “Before I had a chance to even wave the flag – I just took it out – this mob descended upon me‚” Horowitz told The Daily Wire‚ explaining that more than a dozen people joined in on the “brutal” and “crazy attack.” “It began with punches to the torso‚ to the kidneys‚ and one to the private parts‚” he said. “I ran back a second time‚ they grabbed me again. This time there weren’t any punches thrown‚ but two guys grabbed me in an armlock and dragged me off the property‚ threw me down. I went back in a third time‚ this time more punches were thrown‚ one to the throat‚ a headbutt. We grappled a whole bunch.” Journalist @AmiHorowitz went to @CUNY with an American flag. Immediately‚ violent extremists stole his flag and assaulted him. The police detained him‚ and ordered him not to return to the protest with his “different views.” pic.twitter.com/YVa2AWzrYo — Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) April 30‚ 2024 Once authorities intervened‚ however‚ it was Horowitz‚ not the attackers‚ who was detained. “Security and the police showed up and then they detained me‚ which I thought was very odd‚” Horowitz told The Daily Wire‚ saying he was told he would be arrested if he returned to the campus with or without a camera. Audio obtained by The Daily Wire reveals police justifying their actions. An officer told Horowitz after he was detained that they were “trying to give these kids a space to protest peacefully.” When Horowitz responded‚ “That’s the problem‚ they’re not‚” police blamed him. “They are peaceful until they feel like their space is being invaded‚ because they feel like this is their fight‚” the officer went on to say about the protesters on the public university’s campus. Horowitz says no action was taken against his attackers‚ even after he laid out what happened. “Even after I explained what happened‚ they didn’t go back out to grab these guys – knowing I have it on video because I told them I had‚ this was all filmed‚” Horowitz said. “They didn’t say‚ let’s look at the footage‚ and let’s go grab these guys. They were still out there.” Horowitz said their actions show that the protesters hate America just as much as they hate Israel. “If you did a Venn diagram of those who hate Israel‚ and those who hate America‚ they’d be concentric circles‚” Horowitz said. “It’s the administration‚ the professors … they’re feeding this garbage into the minds of these students. These students look up to these professors. It’s garbage in and garbage out.” The attack on Horowitz comes as several New York universities have been taken over by similar encampments. Columbia University gave anti-Israel protesters multiple deadlines to clear out before police would be authorized to remove their encampment‚ but backed down three different times before announcing yet another deadline‚ which the Columbia protesters disobeyed. Protesters at the university have now barricaded themselves in Columbia’s Hamilton Hall. #NOW Hamilton Hall is officially OCCUPIED after protesters and students STORM into Columbia University Building‚ breaking windows and barricading inside.

Barbra Streisand has been called out for asking actress Melissa McCarthy if she had joined the celebrity fad and was taking “Ozempic” to lose weight in a since-deleted Instagram post. McCarthy made a post on social media showing a cute picture of her in a mint green dress while walking with pal Adam Shankman on April 29. She captioned it‚ “Pastels only to honor the incredible [matthewbourne13] at the [ctgla] gala last night with this fella [adamshankman] &;#33;&;#33; Thiiiiis much closer to my dream of dancing on stage.” In the comments section‚ the 82-year-old actress/singer wrote‚ “Give [Shankman] my regards‚ did you take Ozempic&;#63;” The post has since been deleted‚ but screenshots of the comment are all over social media‚ with some people suggesting the “Funny Girl” star thought she was sending a direct message [DM] and didn’t realize her post was public. Omg…this comment from Barbra Streisand. Yes‚ it’s real‚ but she’s deleted it. pic.twitter.com/icINE1XqI4 — Yashar Ali 🐘 (@yashar) April 30‚ 2024 “Bless her‚ she thought she was in the DMs‚” one TikToker wrote. Another person on X agreed‚ writing‚ “Omg somebody please teach Barbra Streisand how to send a DM.” Others suggested it was “rude” and “nasty‚” RadarOnline noted. “Wow really&;#33;” one Instagram user wrote. “What happened to not talking about Bodies&;#33; As a mother of a daughter that’s not ok‚ we as women need to not focus on appearance.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Another person responded‚ “I’m so totally taken aback that you could ask her that on Social Media for all to see&;#63; I love and adore you‚ truly‚ but that disappointed me.” While a third person wrote‚ “Did you actually just have the audacity to ask her that&;#63;&;#33; Especially right out here on social media&;#33;” Then there were those on social media who just cracked jokes about what Streisand did‚ Glamour magazine noted. “Barbra Streisand receives Tony Award for Best Special Theatrical Event for her groundbreaking‚ fearless work on Instagram‚” one person wrote sarcastically. Another person added‚ “Oh my God‚ Barbra‚ you can’t just ask people if they’re on Ozempic&;#33;” with a GIF from “Mean Girls.” And then there was the comment from someone defending Streisand‚ suggesting it was just something an “80-year-old New York woman” would say. “I really don’t think Barbra Streisand was trying to shade Melissa McCarthy‚” one person said. “I just think Barbra is a New York woman‚ they don’t beat around bushes.” Following reports of a backlash against the superstar‚ Streisand responded on X that‚ “OMG I went on Instagram to see the photos we’d posted of the beautiful flowers I’d received for my birthday.” “Below them was a photo of a friend Melissa McCarthy‚ who I sang with on my Encore album‚” she added. “She looked fantastic&;#33; I just wanted to pay her a compliment. I forgot the world is reading.”
