A Hezbollah symbol was apparently spotted this year at Princeton’s pro- Palestine “protest”, prompting widespread criticism.
Myles McKnight, a past Princeton University student, uploaded a photo to the social media platform X on Thursday that shows student “protesters” boldly seated next to the banner of the Shi’ite terrorist organization Hezbollah.

The picture prompted large backlash, including from Sen. Ted Cruz, who bluntly tweeted the term” Shameful” alongside the spectacular pic.

Another followed suit with their own criticism.
Look:
If they feel that way, they may visit Lebanon and engage in combat there.

$ 1, 000 indicates that a talent playing the guitar at Princeton is ignorant of what the flag is. These are our best and our brightest.

Hezbollah killed 241 US assistance people in 1983. This is not only anti- Israeli or antisemitic. It is anti-American and offensive.

Individuals who support organizations with such aggressive narratives worry a lot about how well they comprehend the consequences of their choices.

Journalist Nedal Al-Amari was one of the students ‘ toughest critics.
” The terrorist Hezbollah flag has been raised in American universities” , , he tweeted Friday. Some irrational students support this criminal organization in the same way that ISIS, as Hezbollah extremists have killed thousands of Syrians and displaced complete cities.
In a number of nations around the world, including the United States, Hezbollah has been designated as a criminal business. So, each student who raises the Hezbollah symbol in a university should be kicked out. Some individuals “do not uphold the laws of the nation that has aided them and extended a helping hand to them,” he continued.
Look:
In British universities, the extremist Lebanon symbol has been raised. Some idiotic students support this criminal organization in the vein of ISIS, despite the fact that thousands of Syrians have been killed and whole cities have been displaced by Hezbollah terrorists.

Princeton is one of several colleges where pro- Palestine, Hamas- sympathy students have been , “protesting” and demanding that school leaders divest from Israel.
As originally documented, these “protesters” have thus far been seen , harassing Jews, intimidating Immigrants, scaring Jews, spitting at Jews, assaulting Jews, and more.
Some of the slogans heard at these “protests” include the subsequent:” Kill all the Zionists”,” We want one Egyptian state”,” From the valley to the sea”,” Zionists hardly allowed around”, and” Go back to Poland”.
” Activists” have reportedly also called for more Oct. 7th- like terror strikes.
The Hezbollah symbol may have been the final blow, but the corporation is a recognized foreign terrorist organization.
According to Newsweek,” The Hezbollah activity has long been associated with Iran, and it is a significant component of the casual” Axis of Resistance” organization that fights Israel and the United States in the Middle East.”
Since Hamas ‘ October 7 invasion attack and Israel’s following offensive into the Gaza Strip, the group has engaged in persistent cross-border battles with Israeli forces, according to Newsweek.
Hamas and Hezbollah are sanctioned international criminal businesses by the U.S. State Department. People providing material support to an FTO is subject to penalties, restrictions and/or prison. Someone giving aid and comfort to a U. S. army is committing crime. photograph. twitter.com/U6PGZk96eV

The White House has, for its part, said everything so much about the Hezbollah symbol spotted at Princeton. To its record, the presidency has at least at least condemned all racist slogans being sung in Princeton and other institutions.
While every American has the right to peaceful opposition, calls for physical harassment and assault against Jewish students and the Jewish society are clearly racist, intolerable, and dangerous, according to assistant press secretary Andrew Bates, who issued a statement about a week ago.
However, the condemnation came DAYS after the “protests” erupted and only after massive complaints from Jews nationwide. Some of the “protests” have turned into full- fledged encampments/occupations. But not so at Princeton.
According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, the university quickly stopped an attempt to tent tents and start an encampment at Princeton, and two graduate students were detained and accused of trespassing.
