“Seven charges including assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.”
Not only are we importing terrorists and terror supporters at record rates, but some libertarians have decided to argue that terror supporters can’t be deported because that’s unconstitutional. Washington D.C. came under assault from pro-Hamas mobs and the violence continues to grow.
At an event on the UMass campus calling for Hamas to release the hostages, Efe Ercelik, a Turkish Muslim student from Istanbul, came after a Jewish student.
Police reports allege an angry, slur and stereo-type assault following the event on the campus of UMass Amherst. Efe Ercelik of Amherst was arraigned on seven charges including assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
According to the UMass Amherst Police Department report, just before 4:00 p.m. on Friday Ercelik aggressively approached two students who attended the solidarity event, using expletives and derogatory stereotypes and slurs toward Jewish People. He then allegedly punched and kicked a victim before taking a small Israeli flag out of their hands and destroying it.
Two other people corroborate the person’s account, police said. One of them said Ercelik kicked her hand as she tried to break up the attack.
Ercelik then took a small Israeli flag the person had been holding and destroyed it,” the report said. He allegedly walked into the Student Union building and stabbed “the remains of the flag” with a chef’s knife, the report said.
The administration responded swiftly by defending pro-Hamas protesters and warning about Islamophobia.
“What this student is accused of is reprehensible, illegal, and unacceptable,” the statement from Perdomo-Ahmed and Parham reads, “Let us be clear, these were the actions of an individual who did not speak for nor act on behalf of a group or anyone other than themselves. Peaceful advocacy and protest must and will be protected on our campus.”
“Antisemitism, Islamophobia, or any form of bigotry have no place in our community, and we are committed to ensuring our community’s engagement with opposing viewpoints is maintained in a respectful manner.”
Let us be clear, hatred of Jews has nothing to do with a movement that exists to hate and kill Jews.
Shelly Perdomo-Ahmed, a DEI hack, dedicates a good chunk of her statement to a pro forma condemnation of attacking Jews followed by a defense of the hateful movement behind the violence, and an attempt to give equal time to Islamophobia after a Muslim man attacked Jewish students..
Is it normal to explain that a Klansman’s attack on a black person is not reflective of the KKK? But when it comes to Islamic violence and anti-Israel hate, that’s the norm.
No wonder this happened at UMass.

Her last name says it all, imo.
People like her are the kind who would blame the victim of rape for not liking the rapist and saying he had a stinky odor. She would say personal body odor is a choice of the rapist’s culture and not liking it is a phobia; which is not allowed.
The Jewish students who were attacked, had property stolen and destroyed, are not allowed to dislike the scum who attacked them. The dislike they may feel, is so much worse than the injuries they suffered.

Good call. An Ahmed would say: “Islamophobia, or any form of bigotry have no place in our community, and we are committed to ensuring our community’s engagement with opposing viewpoints is maintained in a respectful manner.” Because appointing oneself to diagnosis mental illness in billions of people who oppose a violent supremacist ideology is the obvious response to hate crimes by muslims against Jews.

In case ya haven’t noticed, moslems are known to attack any who are not of their particular cult, including other moslems, whenever Jews are not available or have demonstrated their capacity for tenfold retaliation.
If I were a Jew attending a university, I would be armed and any attacker would risk fatal wounds. But seeing as I already carry a handgun at all times that is moot.
Wellington says
Friends don’t let friends send their children to colleges and universities in America any longer because with few exceptions colleges and universities in America have become intellectual sewers, sucking up huge amounts in tuition fees and graduating tons of America haters, Jew haters and even haters of the very parents who have sent their children to these loathsome indoctrination centers.
Screw higher education. Become an electrician, an auto mechanic, a plumber, etc. A better choice. A saner choice. A more productive choice. A far less expensive choice. A far more decent choice. And let what’s left of the rot which is higher education in America wither on the vine. This would indeed be an optimal choice. Hey, imagine no more Harvard or Yale. A beautiful sentiment, no?

Wellington, following your advice could put money, honestly earned , in their pockets and they could have a sense of self-respect; and contributing to answering people’s needs. That gives the normal person a lot of satisfaction.
Westman says
Knowing you were a former educator, Wellington, it must be difficult to see the degeneration of American education. You are right, the seeds of the nation’s destruction are being sown by education institutions at the same time an oversupply of useless degrees are being issued.
The University of Massachusetts Amherst: “Antisemitism, Islamophobia, or any form of bigotry have no place in our community”
Really?
Got a Quran on campus? Got antisemitism and Judeaophobia. Try reading it.
James Lincoln says
Westman,
Wellington is also an attorney.
A highly educated individual with a brilliant mind, it must’ve pained him deeply to make his post.

Why is it that attacks such as highlighted in the article are very rare on those campuses?

UMass has always been a third rate school. They let in all of the riffraff and imbeciles and this is what they get. Typical public school.

Norman Gardner Gardner says
Every time a Jewish person is attacked the woke people attempt to say anti semitism and Islamophobia are unacceptable. I don`t see Jews attacking Muslims, it is always Muslims who are the perpetual aggressors . Don`t conflate an equivalence between them. Muslims are a cancer in our society, and a very hateful and untrustworthy group save for a few .

Why are they not marching for the Kurds of northern Syria, the Armenians of Artsahk, or the occupation of Constantinople?
