Leftist comedian Michael Rapaport, in his usual fashion, went after pro-Hamas protesters who have been staging anti-Israel protests and rallies at universities across the country. The issue has gained national prominence since the beginning of the war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
In a video posted on X, formerly Twitter, the comedian did not mince words, predicting that the antics of the pro-Hamas activists will push American voters to elect former President Donald Trump in November.
Warning: Profanity
“You know, it’s going to be great when d*** stain Donald Trump, gets elected, and I ain’t saying I’m voting for him, but when he does win, and he’s going to win, the screaming and yelling that you f****** p**** a** … miserable motherf****** on college campuses are doing now, the screaming that you’re doing at Jews, about ‘Free Palestine’, the screaming that you’re doing at Zionists is going to be nothing compared to the screaming you’re going to be doing come November when d*** stain Donald Trump wins the presidency because of you.”
He concluded by affirming that he dislikes the former president, but that he “can’t wait to see those f****** protests come November.”
Each and every one of you anti-Jewish and 'Israel ain't got nothing to do with me' people.
Rapaport’s comments come after law enforcement had to break up protests in which pro-Hamas students formed encampments on the campuses of Yale and Columbia University. Several protesters have been arrested for trespassing.
This development comes against the backdrop of nationwide pro-Hamas protests that cropped up after Hamas ignited the war by launching a surprise attack on Israel on October 7, killing over 1,000 men, women, and children.
Police began removing anti-Israel protesters from an encampment on Yale’s campus early Monday after a week of protests calling for the university to divest from military weapon manufacturers.
At least 47 protesters were arrested as police looked through tents set up in the encampment near Beinecke Plaza, Yale Police Chief Anthony Campbell told the Yale Daily News reported. Beinecke Plaza is where more than 250 agitators had gathered Sunday night.
Protest organizers told the paper that at least some of those arrested are students.
Campbell told the Yale Daily News that the arrested protesters would be charged with trespassing, a Class A misdemeanor, and would be released once they are processed.
These particular demonstrations have been going on over the past week, and in some cases, they even escalated into violence.
At Yale, a pro-Hamas protester stabbed a Jewish female student journalist in the eye using a Palestinian flag.
The demonstrations have been rife with antisemitic chants and calls for violence against the Jewish people.
Protesters have called for an intifada and the death of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. One Jewish Columbia University student was told to "kill yourself" and repeatedly kicked in the stomach during the protests, while a Jewish Yale student was reportedly stabbed in the eye with a Palestinian flag.
The demonstrations highlight the growing problem of antisemitism on campus since the October 7 terror attacks and the frustration many younger voters feel towards the Biden administration over its support for Israel.
Rapaport, who is also Jewish, is a staunch supporter of Israel and has railed against the pro-Hamas elements in the country. In November, he did another video in which he indicated that President Joe Biden would lose his vote if he failed to address these protests.
