Legal Insurrection by William A. Jacobson Saturday, April 27, 2024

University Presidents “have participated in the creation of a monstrous movement on campuses that uses targeting of Jews and Israel as an organizing mechanism”

My interview on The Daily Signal Podcast: “They have participated in the creation of a monstrous movement on campuses that is anti-American, anti-Western, anti-capitalist, and that uses targeting of Jews and Israel as an organizing mechanism…. It is a tear down the statues ideology. It is remove names from buildings ideology. It is a deconstruction of our society. It is very reminiscent to me of a Khmer Rouge in Cambodia sort of ideology, where you go back to Year Zero.”

I appeared Daily Signal Podcast on April 24, 2024, hosted by Virginia Allen. I’ve been on the DS podcast many times, and I appreciate how Virginia makes the guest the spotlight, not the host.

Here’s the segment as written up by the DS, What’s Behind Antisemitic Protests on College Campuses:

    Pro-Palestine protests on the campuses of some of America’s most elite colleges have resulted in hundreds of arrests and led Columbia University in New York to move classes online for the remainder of the semester.

    The anti-Israel protests at Columbia University, Yale, and New York University aren’t just representative of an “antisemitic movement,” but a “fundamentally an anti-Western and anti-American movement,” Bill Jacobson says.

    Jacobson, a Cornell University law professor and the founder of Legal Insurrection and the Equal Protection Project, joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain who or what is driving the antisemitism on America’s college campuses.

    Jacobson points to the activist organization National Students for Justice in Palestine as the organizing force behind the current protests.

Suspected ISIS member lived in US as migrant for over two years despite global wanted notice

A suspected ISIS member lived in the US for two years despite a global effort to find him.

The 33-year-old Uzbek man, Jovokhir Attoev was recently arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Baltimore due to alleged links with ISIS, according to two US officials. Attoev crossed the border into Arizona and was apprehended by Border Patrol in February 2022, but at the time, neither Customs and Border Protection nor ICE could find any untoward information on him. He was subsequently released inside the US on bond.

However, in May 2023, Uzbekistan issued an international notice stating that Attoev was wanted in his home country for his alleged affiliation with ISIS. It wasn't until March 2024, almost a year later, when the US government was reviewing Attoev's application for asylum, that officials discovered the notice from Uzbekistan and connected it with the man residing in Maryland.

Following this discovery, ICE arrested Attoev on April 17 in Baltimore. According to the ICE website, he is currently in custody in Pennsylvania and is awaiting trial in an immigration court next week in New Jersey.

Biden admin condemned for considering plans to accept Palestinian refugees: ‘A nation committing suicide’
'Now Biden wants to import people who supported the murder and rape of Israelis,' Senate Republicans' X account posted

White House contemplating welcoming refugees from Gaza: Report
Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., joined 'Fox & Friends' to discuss the Biden administration's handling of unrest stemming from the war in Gaza as police arrive on multiple college campuses overnight.

Commentators criticized the Biden administration for considering plans to accept Palestinian refugees from Gaza.

Senior officials across several federal U.S. agencies have discussed in recent weeks the details of potential options to accept Palestinians from Gaza who have immediate family members who are American citizens or permanent U.S. residents, according to internal federal documents reported by CBS News. One proposal involves using the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program to bring Palestinians with U.S. connections who have escaped Gaza and entered neighboring Egypt.

"In terms of the refugee admissions program ... we are constantly evaluating policy proposals to further support Palestinians who are family members of American citizens and may want to come to the United States," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during Wednesday afternoon's briefing.

Saving Hamas
The Palestinian terror organization refuses to release hostages while clinging to its last stronghold in Rafah. So why is the Biden administration throwing the full weight of the U.S. government at Israel to prevent it from routing Hamas?
by Lee Smith

Reports are circulating that the Israelis are planning an operation in Rafah to eliminate the last Hamas stronghold in Gaza. If so, the Netanyahu government will be acting against the very public wishes of the Biden administration, which has spent the last half year moving heaven and earth to save a terrorist organization from destruction. Bizarrely, the White House’s statements and actions show that Hamas’ survival is more important than the security of a traditional American partner, Israel; more crucial to American interests than the preservation of the U.S.-led order of the Middle East; more precious than the dozens of American lives that Hamas ended on Oct. 7; more valuable than however many Americans and Israelis are still alive in the terror army’s tunnels.

Why? As the money and prestige that the U.S. has invested month after month in protecting Hamas demonstrate, the Biden administration sees the terror group as a valuable asset.

A day after the massacre, before Israel’s campaign against Hamas even began, Secretary of State Antony Blinken wrote that he was encouraging the Turkish government’s “advocacy for a cease-fire.” It makes no difference that the tweet has since been deleted, since the White House has produced no shortage of evidence since that its top priority is to deter Israel from defeating Hamas, by increasing Israel’s vulnerabilities at every turn, and conditioning aid on Israel adopting a purely defensive posture.  ...

To fight the mythical famine, Biden is sending thousands of U.S. troops to build a $320 million pier to resupply Hamas—an arrangement that will turn American forces into human shields to deter Israeli military operations against the terror organization.  ...

The key fact is this: The regional order that Trump restored has long been part of the formula that ensures continued U.S. domestic peace and prosperity. To put it another way, the moves made by Obama and now Biden are not primarily about destabilizing the Middle East. Rather, they are designed to destabilize the United States. ...

Israel's defeat is necessary to ensure that Obama's fundamental transformation of America will never be undone. If Israel wins, then so does the America Obama and his cronies seek to destroy.

Colorado county ordinance would prevent taxpayer funds to assist illegal immigrants

The ordinance will prohibit the appropriation of funds for the purchasing property for providing “emergency sheltering of illegal aliens.”

Weld County commissioners gave their initial approval for an ordinance preventing taxpayer funds to assist illegal immigrants, a move they say is "aimed at countering misinformation."

In a 5-0 vote, the commissioners repealed and reenacted an ordinance regarding general and special funds. Two other public readings of the ordinance must take place before the board formally votes to adopt the change.

Kevin Ross, chairman of the commissioners, said the ordinance was necessary to provide transparency on county expenditures.
