CUNY: Pro-Hamas protestors assault journalist carrying American flag, he is detained, they aren’t

By

They don’t just hate Israel. They hate America, too. They’re determined to destroy both. Our public officials are largely on their side, or desperately afraid of them.

“A Journalist Was Assaulted By A Pro-Hamas Mob. Police Detained Him, Not His Attackers,” by Spencer Lindquist, Daily Wire, April 30, 2024:

A “mob descended” on journalist Ami Horowitz when he brought an American flag into the anti-Israel encampment at the City University of New York, yet he was the one who ended up detained by the police, he tells The Daily Wire.

Horowitz says that he was attacked by the pro-Hamas mob three different times and was detained and questioned by police, all while his attackers were allowed to continue occupying the campus, undisturbed by the authorities.

“Before I had a chance to even wave the flag – I just took it out – this mob descended upon me,” Horowitz told The Daily Wire, explaining that more than a dozen people joined in on the “brutal” and “crazy attack.”

“It began with punches to the torso, to the kidneys, and one to the private parts,” he said. “I ran back a second time, they grabbed me again. This time there weren’t any punches thrown, but two guys grabbed me in an armlock and dragged me off the property, threw me down. I went back in a third time, this time more punches were thrown, one to the throat, a headbutt. We grappled a whole bunch.”

Once authorities intervened, however, it was Horowitz, not the attackers, who was detained.

“Security and the police showed up and then they detained me, which I thought was very odd,” Horowitz told The Daily Wire, saying he was told he would be arrested if he returned to the campus with or without a camera.

Audio obtained by The Daily Wire reveals police justifying their actions. An officer told Horowitz after he was detained that they were “trying to give these kids a space to protest peacefully.” When Horowitz responded, “That’s the problem, they’re not,” police blamed him.

“They are peaceful until they feel like their space is being invaded, because they feel like this is their fight,” the officer went on to say about the protesters on the public university’s campus.

Horowitz says no action was taken against his attackers, even after he laid out what happened.

“Even after I explained what happened, they didn’t go back out to grab these guys – knowing I have it on video because I told them I had, this was all filmed,” Horowitz said. “They didn’t say, let’s look at the footage, and let’s go grab these guys. They were still out there.”

Horowitz said their actions show that the protesters hate America just as much as they hate Israel.

“If you did a Venn diagram of those who hate Israel, and those who hate America, they’d be concentric circles,” Horowitz said. “It’s the administration, the professors … they’re feeding this garbage into the minds of these students. These students look up to these professors. It’s garbage in and garbage out.”…

Comments

  1. It’s the end of the end times and a spiritual evil is grabbing people and the spiritual evil has a physical manifestation.

    • Yes. Plain to see.
      The video of the attack on Mr. Horowitz, reminds me of the verses in the Gospels which describe the physical attack on Jesus when the mob tried to throw Him off the cliff.
      And when the mob came, escorted by police, to arrest Him.

    • Not sure it’s the end of TIMES. There are still a hell of a lot of AMERICAN VETERANS in this country who still know how to fight and WILL STAND UP FOR AMERCA and OUR FLAG. Keep your powder dry my fellow VETS.

  2. I have watched a lot of his videos and when he’s pretending to collect money and support for evil, the students are more often than not, on the side of evil.

    The video shows he was assaulted by a mob. There should be something he could do to have the thugs prosecuted for assault with intent.

    I hope Mr. Horowitz is okay and no lasting harm was done to his person.
    It’s possible to read his frustration in his words printed above.
    And the police are supporting terror and evil. Police are supposed to guard against crime and violence, but they are supporting it by not arresting the people in the video.
    Jesus said, there would be an “increasing of lawlessness”….and what He said is happening all around us.

    • Like so much of the video out of Sadiq Con’s London where only patriots get arrested.

      • Yes. Reminds me of Isaiah’s words, fifth chapter, verse 20.
        All over the world.

  3. Ironic how This occurs mostly in liberal DEMONcRAT “ruled” areas.

    Come to the ozarks and try this, I promise it will not end well for YOU.??????

    • Or they should try that in texas,where real men live and everyone carries. Have you noticed there is not much terrorism in texas ?

      • Serial killer Israel Keyes had quite a bit to say about why he didn’t try to add to his body count while in Texas. It’s instructive and illuminating. He was, in fact, arrested there by a rookie cop who read bulletins and kept his eyes open, after he’d repeatedly evaded notice in Alaska.

    • These idiot protestors do not realize that they are unwittingly advocating for an insidiously forming DEMONOCRACY. Hedonistic and dull witted,these cretinous wooden blocks are clueless about their own hand forming a society that will lead them to an abyss full of unintended consequences.

  5. Americans are NOT being told Revelation 18 by their pastors. Nor 2Thessalonians 2nd Chapter. Oh well spiritual blindness is a judgement on those who disbelieve.

  6. This is exactly what happens in London, when pro-Hamas people demonstrate, spewing hate. The police are afraid of them.

    • Are the cops actually afraid, or are they Nazi filth? Just wondering.

  7. Instead of one individual going by himself, he should try going with some witnesses.

  8. Two ”men” dressed in islamic dress and a skull cap are pushing an American off Campus…
    Are they American or outsiders as that’s not normal Campus Student dress.

    • Or as former NPR reporter Juan Williams would say, “muslim garb”.

  9. Same in the UK. Any time the slim scum kick off, anyone else in the area arrested instead.
    Same with the afro animals.

  10. The police witnessed a man being assaulted by a mob. They removed the victim and did nothing against the attackers. There should have been arrests for assault.
