Activist Murdered in Gaza Dispute Between Jihadists and Hamas
The group that kidnapped Vittorio Arrigoni wanted Hamas to release their leader

Hamas police officers found the body of Italian Vittorio ("Victor") Arrigoni on Friday in the Gaza Strip, only hours after an al Qaeda-allied group opposed to Hamas announced that they'd kidnapped the 36-year-old pro-Palestinian activist and journalist. The group, Tawhid and Jihad, released a YouTube video on Thursday showing a bound and blindfolded man identified as Arrigoni and threatening to kill Arrigoni by Friday at 5 pm if Hamas didn't release the group's leader, Hesham al-Saeedni, according to CNN. The video also called Italy an "infidel nation whose armies are still present in Muslim lands."
College Protesters Do NOT Want the Participation Trophy As They Seek Amnesty From Their Actions
WELP, SO SORRY, but consequences are a thing that happens when you run around advocating support for HAMAS and pretending like HAMAS did not start the whole mess. We have not seen a single 'protestor' advocate for the return of hostages. We have not seen a single one of them even admit that the retribution HAMAS is receiving is because HAMAS started it by taking hostages and then killing, torturing, and raping those hostages as well as the fact they have not yet returned all of them. Honestly, we highly doubt we ever do.
Most people on X (formerly Twitter) seemed to be on the same page with us as well.
Has anyone heard of police using tear gas and rubber bullets to clear Hamas supporters from any college campus this week?
George Soros is paying student radicals who are fueling nationwide explosion of Israel-hating protests
George Soros and his hard-left acolytes are paying agitators who are fueling the explosion of radical anti-Israel protests at colleges across the country.
The protests, which began when students took over Columbia University’s Morningside Heights campus lawn last week, have mushroomed nationwide.
Copycat tent cities have been set up at colleges including Harvard, Yale, Berkeley in California, the Ohio State University and Emory in Georgia — all of them organized by branches of the Soros-funded Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) — and at some, students have clashed with police.
The SJP parent organization has been funded by a network of nonprofits ultimately funded by, among others, Soros, the billionaire left-wing investor.
At three colleges, the protests are being encouraged by paid radicals who are “fellows” of a Soros-funded group called the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR).
Anti-Israel protesters sue Columbia, claiming they’re the real victims
A pro-Palestinian group has filed a federal lawsuit against Columbia University — saying anti-Israel protesters with the extremist group Students for Justice in Palestine are the ones being harassed on campus.
The complaint comes as Jewish community leaders and Jewish students have spoken out to say they do not feel safe at the Ivy League school with hundreds of protesters camping out in tents on the lawn, prompting university administrators to allow students to take their classes online for the rest of the year.
Stunning and Brave: Pro-Hamas Protesters Suddenly Beg to Go Home When Police Show Up (Watch)
Listen to the cheers as they are all hauled away in buses for booking. More than any media pundit, this video will tell you what America -- yes, even in New York City -- thinks about these lawless, anti-American, antisemitic protesters.
But hang on ... we take it back. This video, posted by Nicholas Fondacaro of the Media Research Center, is the absolute cherry on top of a delicious sundae of justice last night.
(Warning: There is some NSFW language in the video below.)
BAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. We've been watching that on a loop many times and it never gets less beautifully hilarious.
'It's FINALS. I want to GO HOME.'
Guess she should have thought of that before she decided to join the global intifada, huh?
Globalize the FAFO. We love it. Chef's kiss for that comment.
Some in the crowd that the police barricaded inside HAMILTON Hall (no matter what the pro-Hamas crowd tried to rename it) claimed to be from the press. And it's true, some DID have press credentials.
But, like the stringers from the Associated Press who participated in the October 7 Hamas massacre, that didn't mean that they weren't part of the 'revolution.'
These Pussys will NEVER Win a Civil War
I always get my way when I start a conversation with the police with F*** Y**
Welcome to pre-election summer protest season. The New York Times ran a non-paywalled story yesterday headlined, “Columbia Said It Had ‘No Choice’ but to Call the Police.” New York sure sent a lot of cops this time. And the cops had a cool truck they probably don’t get to use very often, that lets them stroll right into a building through the second floor window, whenever ‘student protestors’ illegally occupy campus and block the doors:
A little after midnight Monday night, agitated Columbia University protesters smashed a window to get into Hamilton Hall and then barricaded the doors. An unlucky janitor on the night shift caught in the building was released by occupying students yesterday; ironically, given the whole Hamas situation, the protestors held the poor janitor for a few hours as a hostage. After a long, frustrating day of failed negotiations, it only took an hour for the New York Police Department to de-occupy the Hall around 9pm last night.
Here’s what the Hamilton Hall ‘blockade’ looked like from the outside. It was a disappointing effort from the Ivy Leaguers. Maybe MIT students could have engineered something more impressive looking:
Mind you, Columbia University was originally founded as King’s College on a Royal Charter from good old King George II, well before the American Revolution. The American rebels changed the school’s name to Columbia after evicting the British. Columbia was New York’s very first college — and the fifth in the original 13 colonies.
It used to have a strong academic record. Ninety-six Nobel Prize winners graduated from Columbia — a record second only to Harvard.
But how times change! Nowadays, Columbia’s highly-diverse student body is more interested in building trashy barricades than winning Nobel prizes. In fairness, these protestors are not, presumably, the smartest students at the school. Don’t cancel me, I’m just saying.
It seems the students also did a little redecorating whilst occupying Hamilton. I guess their parents never taught them to leave a place looking better than when they arrived. From the UK Daily Mail:
Here’s another view from inside the Hall, where the energy-drink addled twenty-somethings seem to have gone on some kind of rampage, like a pack of wild chimpanzees that just found a crate of Red Bull:
I’ve been reliably informed the British plan to ask for King’s College back.
The skeptical Times was obviously yearning for a good old-fashioned police-batter-students story. But it quoted Columbia’s president who explained, “the group that broke into and occupied the building is led by individuals who are not affiliated with the university.” Outside agitators. Probably Soros-funded.
It might be the first time in history this has ever happened, or maybe something got distorted in the reality matrix the last time they fired up CERN, but President Trump and Columbia’s president both agreed, these are fake protests:
CLIP: Trump tells Hannity the protests are organized (0:27).
In his call to Hannity last night, President Trump focused less on all the fancy camping tents, but rather on all the identical protest signs: "I think you have a lot of paid agitators, professional agitators, when you see signs that are identical, they are being paid by a source. They're made by the same printer. "
It’s not just the protestors who seem to be working together. In the clearest sign of a coordinated narrative we’ve seen since the start of the Proxy War, every major corporate media platform ran all protest, all the time news yesterday. You’d think there was nothing else going on in the world besides some overfed, privileged American kids avoiding studying, none of whom could tell you who is the president of Hamas even if you offered them a free iPhone upgrade.
Behold this morning’s 100%, wall-to-wall protest coverage in the New York Times:
It’s anarchy!
As the Times’ headlines suggest, there were protest stories from several schools across the country. The trashing of Hamilton Hall was pretty tame compared to others. There were some escalating stories about protestors grappling with police, and even fights between protestors and counter-protestors, and launching fireworks into crowds. Corporate media delightedly covered all the chaos in multiple articles run with tons of pictures in long magazine formats.
Corporate media are experts at ignoring a story. So this intense coverage suggested they really like this protest story for some reason. Behold, the new Summer of Protest! And it’s just getting started. Recall that, last election season, the summer protests really only got going by August. Remember the dramatic videos of the fiery, nighttime Kenosha, Wisconsin protest where Kyle Rittenhouse defended himself? Good times. That was August 25, 2020 — almost September.
Or at least, that seems to be the goal. It’s not quite the same. This time the police so far are being allowed to do their jobs and clear the students and outside agitators. But all it would take is one George Floyd-style “police brutality” incident and things could change. So keep your seat belts on! 2024 has lots more left to give.

SO GOOD: UCLA Hamas Simps Cry That Police Won't Protect Them While Demanding the Police Be Abolished
Those confrontations were spawned by pro-Hamas "protesters" assaulting a Jewish student earlier in the day and holding another hostage for an hour. Videos of both incidents have since gone viral. All of this occurred near the school's illegal "encampment," where tents have been set up amid "Palestinian" flags and banners with genocidal slogans plastered on them.
Laughably, despite their continued illegal trespassing and violent actions, the Hamas supporters decided to hold a press conference on Thursday issuing a list of demands and complaints. What was one of their complaints? That police didn't intervene to protect them.
As Bill Melugin points out, one of the demands of the pro-Hamas "protesters" before Tuesday night's extracurriculars was to abolish the police. You quite literally can not make this stuff up. The same people who are actively breaking the law, from trespassing to committing acts of violence, are mad that the police didn't rush to their rescue when other students finally had enough and struck back.
Of the 300 Pro-Hamas Agitators Arrested at Columbia, Most Weren't Students
“There were individuals on the campus who should not have been there. They were people who are professionals and we saw evidence of training,” Adams continued.
Adams called it a “global problem” as young, impressionable students are being brainwashed by professional protestors who are “radicalizing our children.”
“I’m not going to allow that to happen as the mayor of the city of New York,” he added.
A Soros charity awarded $1 million in grants to the Al Mezan Center for Human Rights— an anti-Israel think tank that was behind the “One child is killed or injured every 10 minutes in Gaza" campaign.
The Soros grant provided the pro-terrorism groups with the necessary funds to recruit students to join their pro-terrorism movement.
WATCH: NYPD Tears Down Palestinian Flag at CUNY and Hoists the Stars and Stripes and It Is Glorious
Pro-Palestinian protesters at the City College of New York had removed the American flag from the flagpole at the start of their protests two weeks ago and raised the Palestinian flag. After the NYPD swarmed the CUNY campus and began arresting dozens of protesters, several cops began to take down the Palestinian flag.
They were none too gentle about it either.
Then, NYPD Deputy Commissioner, Operations Kaz Daughtry and several other officers raised the American flag.
Frat boys at UNC Chapel Hill surround American flag in protection as pro Palestine mob runs wild
Patriotic frat boys valiantly protected an American flag on the campus of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill even while being pelted by water bottles from pro-Palestine protestors.
Footage emerged on social media showing the group of male students from the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity holding onto the stars and stripes during a Tuesday protest. Pro-Palestine groups lobbed bottles of water at the group who clutched the flag as they were screamed at by masked protestors.
One person was seen carrying an Israel flag as others threw objects and water at him as the group held the flag high so as not let it touch the ground.
Despite the best efforts of the hardy group, the protestors eventually managed to hoist the Palestine flag on the Chapel Hill campus.
Still, the men's action drew attention online with a GoFundMe set up for the frat that has raised more than $228,000.
Armed 39-Year-Old Arrested at Anti-Israel Protest at University of South Florida
Granted, it is still too early to jump to conclusions about who Othman is. But the fact that he was armed and other people were talking about bringing weapons means that what I said yesterday about flat-out pogroms occurring right here in America could very well happen.
Don't believe me? Fox 7 reported that after Travis County police cleared out the University of Texas in Austin and arrested 80 people, they uncovered stashes of guns (yes, guns), chains, mallets, and bricks around the encampment. Furthermore, 45 of those arrested were not in any way affiliated with the Longhorns, either as students, faculty, or staff.
"This is calculated, intentional, and, we believe, orchestrated and led by those outside our university community," the university said. That much is starting to become obvious, which is why Congress is looking to investigate these protests.
The question, then, is who is behind this frenzy of antisemitism we've seen on college campuses these past couple of weeks?
While I am not discounting these protests being the end result of colleges breeding indoctrinated leftist morons who come back to bite them in their collective hindquarters, nothing about them seems to have formed organically. Someone has to be buying and setting up these fancy tents (North Face ain't cheap, you know) and providing these weapons.
By the way, did you also see that one of the people at the Columbia protest was Nahla Al-Arian, wife of Sami Al-Arian, who was busted way back in 2005 for raising money for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad?
Things that make you wonder.
