Why does Robert Harrington condemn “Islamophobia” along with antisemitism? There is no threatening or attacking Muslims going on at a level that is comparable to the recent threats and attacks on Jews, and that’s a good thing. But victimhood is currency in our absurd age, and Harrington knows it could be harmful to his professional health to fail to remunerate Muslim.
Antisemitic mob take over NYC Subway and send chilling message to all Jews on board.
“Raise your hand if you’re a Zionist.
This is your chance to get out.”

“Anti-Israel protester who told ‘Zionists’ to ID themselves on subway now hides face from press after arrest following weeks-long manhunt,” by Joe Marino, Amanda Woods, Carl Campanile and Emily Crane, New York Post, June 26, 2024:
The anti-Israel protester who allegedly stormed a Big Apple subway car and demanded that “Zionists” raise their hands was arrested Wednesday following a weeks-long manhunt, cops said.
Anas Saleh, 24, of Staten Island, turned himself in with his attorney at around 9.30 a.m. after the NYPD released a wanted poster last week with his face splashed across it in the wake of the hate-filled incident at Manhattan’s Union Square station.
Saleh was spotted wearing a face mask as he left the NYPD’s Transit Bureau District 2 in Lower Manhattan — flanked by several people who attempted to shield him from press photographers using scarves and black umbrellas.
He was charged with attempted coercion and released with a desk appearance ticket, authorities said.
Saleh, who is believed to have worked as a research tech at Weill Cornell Medicine’s Rhee Lab, was quickly outed as the alleged perp on social media, with Jewish activist groups also circulating his image on social media in a bid to track him down.
The school’s dean, Robert Harrington, addressed the antisemitic subway saga in a letter fired off to Cornell employees – but stopped short of mentioning Saleh by name or his arrest.
“We condemn antisemitism in the strongest possible terms. Hate speech or actions of any kind, whether anti-Semitic or Islamophobic, are not tolerated by our community,” Harrington said in the statement Wednesday.
“We are fully cooperating with the NYPD investigation, as well as conducting our own internal review, in the incident. If any employee is confirmed to be involved in this incident, appropriate action will be taken.”
It wasn’t immediately clear if Saleh was still employed there as of Wednesday, but his biography page on the lab’s website appears to have been deleted.
Saleh also appeared to have scrubbed his own social media presence last week before turning himself in to cops.
The saga unfolded back on June 10 when Saleh allegedly entered the southbound 5 train at Union Square and started chanting, “Raise your hands if you’re a Zionist, repeat after me, this is your chance to get out.”…

What is stunning about all of this is that it is the authorities who are overseeing these developments and encouraging them with their insanely against incumbent populations policy. Even the Arab emigrants has the good senses to say NO but our governments cannot put enough of these dangerous people in our midst with our money backing the entire thing I might add.

First amendment allows him to be an arrogant asshole. Would have loved to see his reaction if a group of Israeli special forces guys put their hands up. Then said raise your hands if you just bidened your shorts.
Time to defund Cornell. And we need to create the peoples unamerican activities comittee. Make everyone from school bullies with rich dads to the president accountable vs the constitution and bill of rights. The US used to be a pretty decent place to live. Now cops ignore crimes if you are the right sort of criminal. Everyone top to bottom needs to be judged against the same set of rules applied even handedly. Not applied based on who got voted in.

One should never ever mess with Israeli special forces.

The brazenness of this mozlom is breathtaking. Of course this mongrel had a bunch of Islamic domestic terrorist aboard the subway with him. He… felt “Safe” spewing his IslamoNazi hatred because he knew, no one, was gonna punch him in the face. Rewind to 30-40 yrs ago NYC… and he wouldn’t have said “Boo!” On that train.
Time to revoke American citizenship to these soldiers of Allah and kick these carpet kisser out forever. God bless Israel ?? and the USA ??

Time for all men to regain their manhood and stand up against the muslim terrorisers. The muslims were sexually harassing a young russian lady On the video you can see the men hitting the muslims while they cried for mercy. They then threw the muslims off the running train
bagsgroove says
The guy looks like a muslim bumboy.

Daniel Penny was a former U.S. Marine that was riding a NYC subway when a man boarded and began threatening passengers. This went on for a time until Penny got up, grabbed the man and applied a neck hold the US military teaches it’s recruits.
The man struggled until the stoppage of oxygen to his brain caused unconsciousness, Penny kept applying pressure to ensure the safety of himself and passengers. The mentally ill man died as a result.
Penny was found guilty of murder by the corrupt NYC prosecutors despite the altercation and events leading up to it being caught on security video.
Even after that, were I in Penny’s place or if a Muslim like this man was near me acting erratic I’d do the exact same thing Penny did and take my chances with the corrupt NYC prosecutors.
Rarely says
How “corrupt”?
Did someone pay the prosecutors to push the case? Was the jury compromised as well? How about the judge?
Just because you don’t like the verdict or that charges were laid in the first place doesn’t mean that anyone involved was corrupt.
Or are you just parroting Trump?
somehistory says
You should listen to Glenn Beck tell about the prosecutor who was in a high office, but went to a lower level in order to ‘get Trump’ as letitia james promised to do. and the “judge” who has a daughter who works hand in glove with the people wanting Trump to go to prison.
And the statute of limitations was ignored; the “case” was filed in State Court but it would have been a Federal crime….which the SEC said wasn’t.
Seems you just don’t like Mr. Trump.
HENRY says
Save your idiotic questions for idiots.
James Lincoln says
Rarely,
If not “corruption”, how would you explain the verdict in that case?
Incompetence?
somehistory says
One little step toward some ‘justice’ in NYC. Will he actually be punished? Or is the arrest and ‘desk ticket’ just for show, for public consumption?
bragg or one of his cohorts should be all over it….but will anyone see that this mozlum thug meets some justice?
When he walks the streets, people should point at him and laugh.
somehistory says
Learn and flash American Sign for “yellow” when he is recognized.
Dov Berrol says
Yet another jihadi who probably got into the USA on a student visa from Cornell. Time to end these student visas offered to people from Muslim countries. Ever wonder why the annual list of top 500 universities worldwide rarely includes a university in a Muslim country? The Arab states prefer to pay for their jihadis to study at prestigious western universities in order to plant more warriors here to conquer more infidel lands.
