Former President Trump railed against ongoing anti-Israel unrest plaguing college campuses and cities, saying the radicals should be treated by the government “the same way as they do the J6 hostages.”
“It’s Biden’s backers that seem to be funding what’s going on with the Palestinians. Probably not Palestinians, they’re agitators — bad agitators, really bad. And I think our government ought to find out who they are, where they’re from, and treat them the same way as they do the J6 hostages,” Trump said outside the courtroom, referring to protesters who breached the Capitol in Washington, D.C., Jan. 6, 2021.
“You got to treat them the same way. These are agitators. They’re really hurting our country. It’s happening all over the country and cities.”
The NYPD arrested more than two dozen protesters outside the Met Gala Monday evening as a protest devolved into chaos. It included agitators burning an American flag and vandalizing a historic World War I memorial. The protest follows mass demonstrations on college campuses since last month, with students and outside agitators establishing anti-Israel encampments and demanding their schools divest from Israel amid a war that has raged in the Middle East since Oct. 7.

“You saw what happened last night at the Metropolitan Museum. These are agitators. And in some of the colleges, I think it’s about 20% student and 80% others. So, this is a big problem. And they better nip it in the bud. And it’s a problem from the left, not from the right. This is a problem from the left.”
The college protests are associated with groups tied to far-left organizations backed by dark money and liberal mega-donor George Soros, Fox News Digital previously reported. Namely, the National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP) has had a large presence amid the protests on Columbia University’s campus, as well as on the campuses of UCLA, Tufts and the University of Texas at Austin.
