Former US President Donald Trump praised the New York Police Department (NYPD) on Wednesday for detaining hundreds of anti-Israel protesters at Columbia University and City College of New York the previous night, the New York Post reported.
New York was under siege last night. But the police came in and in exactly two hours everything was over. It was a beautiful thing to watch. New York’s finest. And they went in – they knocked it out – and they were incredible. They did a great job.
NYPD arrested about 300 protesters in raids on two campuses.
The rally in Wisconsin was Trump’s first major campaign event since his criminal trial in Manhattan over alleged hush payments to porn star Stormy Daniels began on April 15. The former president also held a rally in Michigan on his day off from court, where he denied the allegations against him.
“Every one of these fake cases is bulls. Every single one of them. Terrible. As you know, I’ve come here today from New York City, where I’m being forced to sit for days on end in a kangaroo courtroom with a corrupt and conflicted judge, enduring a Biden sideshow trial at the hands of a Marxist district attorney … who’s taking orders from the Biden administration.”
Trump claimed the charges against him were “an assault on the constitutional rights of all Americans.”
The ultimate verdict on this travesty will not come in a courtroom, it will come at the ballot box. And the American people are going to find crooked Joe Biden guilty of trying to destroy our country.
Meanwhile, children in Gaza thanked students from the US and Canada for their support. The children in the city of Deir al-Balah waved placards that read:
“Thank you to the brave students in American universities. Thank you for standing with Gaza.”
Since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war on October 7, 2023, more than 34,500 Palestinians have been killed, mostly women and children, with thousands more injured in massive destruction and severe shortages of basic necessities, Arab media report.
According to the UN, more than six months after the Israeli war began, large areas of Gaza were lying in ruins, forcing 85 per cent of the enclave’s population to flee their homes amid a devastating siege of food, clean water, and medicine.
Israel is also facing genocide charges at the International Court of Justice following accusations from South Africa. Turkey also intends to join the charges. An interim ruling in January ordered Israel to stop acts of genocide and take measures to guarantee humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza.
