National Students for Justice in Palestine is planning a "Week of Rage" during the anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks on Israel. This is to mark "a year of genocide in Gaza," according to the anti-Israel group. A recent Instagram post from NSJP says in part: "For over 11 months now, the Zionist entity, with the backing of the U.S. and our universities, has committed a horrific assault on the nearly 2 million Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip."
Dr. Zachary Marschall, editor in chief of Campus Reform, tells AFN there is a stark difference in those who are pro-Palestine and those who are pro-Israel.
"… Anyone who thinks there's two sides to this conflict doesn't know what they're talking about," he states bluntly. "Every time there is a pro-Palestine so-called 'demonstration,' it ends up being violent and incendiary. Every time there is a pro-Israel one, it is peaceful and patriotic for America as well."
Marschall, however, sees a positive trend: the anti-Israel forces on campuses across the nation, he contends, seem to be a little disorganized at the moment.
"So, I think the 'Day of Rage' and what's going to happen around the anniversary is going to tell us a lot about how the rest of the academic year is going to unfold," he predicts.
In addition, Marschall points out similar events announced to occur in September did not happen as scheduled. For example, protests were supposed to occur Thursday of last week (9/26) and at Emory on Friday.
"And to the best of our people's reporting on the ground in Georgia, those events are postponed," he reports. "So, I think a lot of universities that are now instituting, implementing these policies around violent protests, bans, and new rules – I think that might be throwing the students off."
And while Marschall suggests the public should expect the worst, "don't be completely shocked if it doesn't end up being as widespread as it was last Spring. I think we're starting to see the organization and the resolve of these student terrorists weaken a little bit, which is a very positive trend."
The NSJP "Week of Rage" is scheduled for October 7-11.
