Of course his arguments backfired BIGLY ... he's a Democrat (i.e., ignorant and infantile) and so he has absolutely no solid ground to stand on regarding his emotional outburst. But, I'm feeling really generous, this morning ... I will offer him a D- for his feeble efforts.
Shadi Hamid seems to think people are unhappy with Pro-Hamas protesters on college campuses because they are pro-Israel. Huh.
Surely it has nothing to do with Jewish students being attacked, stalked, terrorized, and harassed so much that some campuses have closed classes for the rest of the year and are now going virtual.
It's because people are just sympathetic to Israel.
Right.
Shadi Hamid (@shadihamid) ~ Here's the test. If you're pro-Israel, and students formed a tent encampment in solidarity with Israel, would you support the police forcefully removing them? I think we know the answer. You'd be much more sympathetic to the protesters, because you agree with their cause.
Here’s the test. If you’re pro-Gaza, and students formed a human chain to physically keep a Jewish student from attending classes, would you support the police forcefully removing them?
Pretty sure we know the answer.
Shoshanna Keats Jaskoll (@skjask) ~ {Replying to @shadihamid} If they called for the murder of all Palestinians from the river to sea to globalize the intifada, cheered on terrorists, blocked Muslims from classes, surrounded them, intimidated them, terrified them off campus, I'd rip the tents down myself.
Okay ... Reasoned Logic - 1; Shadi Hamid - 0.
But it's peaceful and stuff.
Meara (@MillennialOther) ~ {Replying to @shadihamid} Buddy, I don’t care what side you are on, if you set up an encampment dedicated to literally calling for the extermination of an entire group of people, you reap what you sow. This is not a difficult concept.
Okay, now it is ... Reasoned Logic - 2; Shadi Hamid - 0.
Anna Gát (@TheAnnaGat) ~ {Replying to @shadihamid} If they acted in a way that called for violence against others, then yes.
Updated score is now ... Reasoned Logic - 3; Shadi Hamid - 0.
And, apparently, poor lil' Shadi didn't like the ass-whoopin' he was receiving, so he had to dig his hole that much deeper ...
Watch what he does here:
Shadi Hamid (@shadihamid) ~ There's no evidence that students have been forcefully prevented or blocked from entering classrooms. And it's unclear how a tent encampment would restrict that ability. As for "calls for violence":

Moreover, it's unclear to me how extreme incidents that aren't representative of the encampment—and didn't even happen on the encampment—would justify generalizing to the entire group and dismantling the encampment.
Dude. We have SEEN THE VIDEO.
Ironic how since he's sympathetic to Hamas ... sorry ... GAZA ... that he's defending them this way after claiming people who support Israel would do just that.
Democrats are always forgetting about and being dismissive of actual video and audio evidence that is out there for all to see and hear for themselves.
Savannah (@BasedSavannah) ~ {Replying to @shadihamid} There’s video evidence of it, you Hamas terrorist supporter. Your lies don’t change facts.
Ooooh ... now poor lil' Shadi is just gettin' bitch-slapped by the facts ...
Ahem.
Scottergate (@Scottergate) ~ {Replying to @shadihamid} I don't support any encampments, but the genocidal Anti-Semites that you support are the only ones doing it.
Tough crowd.
MoodyRedhead (@moodyredhead) ~ {Replying to @shadihamid} Here's a test for you: would protesting pro-Israel students be shouting "Death to America" or "From the river to the sea"? There's your answer.
His gotcha FLOPPED.
But hey, nice try.
Yeah, for a ...
... anyway.
