WATCH: AOC Faces Backlash After Celebrating Campus Protests Against Israel

For years, the phrase “Never again” has served as a reminder and a promise that the Holocaust, one of the most horrific events in human history, would never be allowed to happen again. It is a powerful declaration that has inspired and motivated the reconvening of Israel, a country created to ensure the safety and security of the Jewish people. However, it seems that these two words no longer hold the weight they once did, especially on the campuses of elite universities in America.

Over the past few weeks, pro-Palestinian activists, fueled by foreign and domestic influences, have launched violent and aggressive demonstrations against Israel’s defense of itself and its citizens. These protests have not only targeted the country but also its people, and the vitriol being spewed is specifically aimed at Jews. Reports have surfaced of Jewish students being verbally and physically attacked, with one graduate student at Columbia University claiming she was called a “Zionist b****” and a “genocidal b****” simply for wearing an Israeli flag.

This is not a new phenomenon. Anti-Semitism has been present for centuries, and its ugly head is now making itself known on the streets of America. It is not just Israelis or Jews who are being targeted, but anyone who supports them. Even a simple walk down the street can result in physical and verbal assaults for those showing any support for Israel. And yet, while the situation continues to escalate, Democratic officials like New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have the audacity to applaud these “peaceful protests.”

During an Earth Day event with President Joe Biden, Ocasio-Cortez praised the student-led protests on campuses like Columbia, Yale, and Berkeley, claiming they are shaping the country.

But in reality, these protests are anything but peaceful. As the ugliness continues to spread, Columbia announced that classes would be hybrid for the rest of the semester due to safety concerns. This is a clear acknowledgment of the unsafe nature of these protests and the danger they pose to Jewish students.

While Ocasio-Cortez continues to support and encourage these anti-Semitic protests, Democratic Senator John Fetterman has taken a stand against them. He has called out Columbia’s president, Minouche Shafik, for not doing enough to stop the violence and has even called for her resignation. Shafik, who recently testified before Congress, claimed she had not witnessed any “anti-Jewish” demonstrations on campus. Instead, she chose to align herself with Rep.

Ilhan Omar, one of Ocasio-Cortez’s close allies, who has downplayed the anti-Semitic nature of these protests and claimed they are focused on the issue of pro-war and anti-war.

It is shocking and disheartening to see Democratic officials like Ocasio-Cortez and Shafik downplay the seriousness of these protests and ignore the blatant anti-Semitism fueling them.

The phrase “Never again” seems to have lost its meaning to them, as they continue to support and enable actions that go against everything it stands for. As the situation on college campuses becomes increasingly volatile, it is time for all Americans to stand up against these dangerous and discriminatory demonstrations. Enough is enough, and we must never let history repeat itself.
