You don\u2019t have a right to go after other students based on their ethnicity. And we\u2019re gonna ensure that that\u2019s upheld in the state of Florida.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, if you look around the country, you have a lot of elite colleges and universities that have allowed themselves to become overrun with encampments, graffiti, as well as a lot of really nasty anti-Semitism at Columbia,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPro-Hamas activists stormed buildings, took cleaning staff hostage, and destroyed iconic academic halls.

At Portland State, the library was taken over and subsequently trashed by vagrants who weren\u2019t even students of the university to begin with. And we see some of the chants that are done at these universities, such as, \u2018From the river to the sea.\u2019 Some are saying, \u2018We don\u2019t want no two-state.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said that those who chant things like \u201cfrom the river to the sea\u201d want a second Holocaust against the Jews and are calling for Israel to be wiped off the map.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis continued bashing the pro-Hamas protesters at other schools: \u201cYou also see really <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/despicable-two-nba-fans-banned-indefinitely-after-spitting-dumping-popcorn-on-players\/\" title=\"\u2018Despicable!\u2019: Two NBA Fans Banned Indefinitely After Spitting, Dumping Popcorn On Players\">disrespectful behavior<\/a> at UNC, agitators removed the American flag and replaced it with a Palestinian flag. Now, how disrespectful is that to people that have fought and died for this country? At George Washington University, some of these agitators desecrated a statue of the father of our country, George Washington.

So why would you have people who aren\u2019t even students hijack your university for their agenda? That makes no sense whatsoever. So we\u2019ve seen a lot of failures of leadership. We\u2019ve seen some of these schools get overrun. That is not happening here in the state of Florida. You are going to behave appropriately, or if not, you\u2019re gonna be shown the door.
