The <i>New York Times<\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/04\/30\/us\/politics\/biden-columbia-protests-israel-antisemitism.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">calls him<\/a> a &#8220;bystander,&#8221; and the president has forsaken the bully pulpit for strongly worded statements meted out through various spokesmen. &#8220;The president believes that forcibly taking over a building on campus is absolutely the wrong approach,&#8221; the spokesman, John F. Kirby, told reporters hours before officers cleared the hall. &#8220;That is not an example of peaceful protest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Good to know. The chaos engulfing the campuses is but a first foretaste of the bitter cup which will be proffered to Biden at the Democratic convention this summer, when the same protesters, with degrees from the same &#8220;elite&#8221; institutions bring their &#8220;peaceful&#8221; protest tactics to Chicago intent on wreaking havoc.<\/p>\n<p>Biden wants to blend into the curtains. In a mirror image of his approach to the Israel-Hamas war, Biden aims to straddle the unbridgeable divide between the lawless and the law abiding, the intolerant and the tolerant, the virtuous and the contemptible. &#8220;I condemn the anti-Semitic protests,&#8221; he said late last month. &#8220;I also condemn those who don\u2019t understand what\u2019s going on with the Palestinians and their\u2014how they\u2019re being\u2026 .&#8221; He didn\u2019t finish the sentence.\t<\/p>\n<p>Biden is, of course, not taking a strong stand because the left wing of his own party, already inflamed by his mealy-mouthed support for Israel, is actively participating in these protests. Reps. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) dropped by to fist bump the Columbia campers. Biden can\u2019t afford to alienate them further, and like Columbia\u2019s president Minouche Shafik, will soon realize you can\u2019t reason or negotiate with a mob.<\/p>\n<p>The president\u2019s choice is to act in the national interest and pay a political price or to continue to hide under his desk and be forced, like Shafik, to pay the same price later\u2014with interest.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For over a week, anti-Israel and anti-Semitic protests on university campuses have dominated headlines.
