Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has lauded the New York Police Department’s raid on a Columbia University building occupied by anti-Israel students on Tuesday night, calling the protesters “raging lunatics and Hamas sympathizers.”
Speaking at a campaign rally in Wisconsin, Trump said, “New York was under siege last night,” and commended the police officers for arresting around 300 protesters. “It was a beautiful thing to watch,” he added.
Trump also criticized the Biden administration’s plan to accept some Gaza refugees, saying, “Your towns and villages will now be accepting people from Gaza and various other places.” The crowd responded with boos.
According to CBS News, internal government documents reveal that US officials have been discussing options to resettle Palestinians displaced by the Gaza conflict, pending screening tests. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that the Biden administration is exploring a plan to relocate Palestinian refugees with family ties to Americans.

He’s right
Trump
They are not “lunatics”. People who advocate or attempt to carry our genocide are not insane. They are evil, racist and a danger to all humanity (even if most of humanity is too distracted or too bigoted to notice). But they are not insane.
And granting asylum to anti-Hamas residents of Gaza, at least temporarily, would be a good public policy. This would probably include any Christian or secular Muslim. These people alive and well, and hopefully working to overthrow Hamas, would benefit the United States and Israel, whereas their being shot or hanged by Hamas in no way helps us.
