While there’s been all sorts of wild speculation about the sources of the pro-Hamas riots, we do know two things…
1. They mostly come out of high-end schools (if the campus doesn’t have a course on Queer Shakespeare theory, it probably won’t be able to mount a Hamas encampment.)
2. They come from campuses with a lot of foreign students.
Now, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the State Department has pulled over 300 student visas to rein in the riots. While the cases of some foreign terrorist supporters, most notably, Momodou Taal, who urged taking a cue from Hamas, and Mahmoud Khalil, a key figure in an organization that called for the murder of Jews, and ‘Death to America’, the numbers are apparently much higher.
“It might be more than 300 at this point. We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visas,” Rubio said.
Of course as we all know, pulling a visa and getting a foreign national out of the country can be too different things. America is full of foreign nationals who are here illegally and the Hamas supporters who have been busted by ICE are fighting their cases in court and through the media, while others may try to lay low, but a message is being sent.
