Take Down American Flag, Replace It With Palestinian Flag
What more do we need to show us that the current campus demonstrations are not really “pro-Palestinian” but anti-Semitic and anti-American?
Most of the demonstrators, unless they are from the Middle East themselves, could not point out Gaza or the West Bank on a map. Of course, they probably could not point out Illinois either, so that doesn’t say much. But now we have more proof.
Demonstrators at UNC, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, took down an American flag and replaced it with a Palestinian flag. Fraternity brothers replaced the American flag and protected it for an hour despite cans and bottles thrown at them. Then they sang the National Anthem. They do call it Chapel Hill, after all, and not Hamas Hill.
There is nothing “pro-Palestinian” about disrespecting the American flag or assaulting Jewish students. It is just anti-American and anti-Semitic. It’s past time we recognized that and acted accordingly.
