Important Takeaways:

• Netanyahu said Israel would enter Rafah, which Israel says is Hamas’ last stronghold, regardless of whether a truce-for-hostages deal is struck. His comments appeared to be meant to appease his nationalist governing partners but it was not clear whether they would have any bearing on any emerging deal with Hamas.
• “The idea that we will stop the war before achieving all of its goals is out of the question,” Netanyahu said, according to a statement from his office. “We will enter Rafah and we will eliminate Hamas’ battalions there — with or without a deal, to achieve the total victory.”
• What we are witnessing throughout the nation right now is truly sad. At colleges and universities all over the United States, crazed protesters are setting up encampments, attacking Jewish students, replacing the American flag with the Palestinian flag, and illegally occupying buildings.  Unfortunately, these protests are likely to become even more heated in the days ahead because Israel is preparing to make a really big move.
• When this operation takes place, pro-Hamas protesters all over the U.S. will go completely nuts.
• [The occupation of a building at Columbia University]
• One student that witnessed the occupation of the building is using the term “lawless” to describe what is happening…
  • Columbia junior Jessica Schwalb described the campus to CBS News as “lawless. Utter anarchy.” She said demonstrators in Hamilton Hall “zip-tied the doorhandles together and then broke the windows, bashed the windows with hammers and put these metal bike locks around the door handles. They put the bike lock on the first set of doors is what I saw and then they were bringing tables, the heavy black metal tables from the eating area that’s right in front of Hamilton Hall, and had a group of people push them up against the door handles as a barricade and then people were also bringing furniture from Hamilton Hall to barricade inside.”
• At Portland State University, students have actually been trying to take over the entire school library…
  • Officials at Portland State University in Oregon closed the campus Tuesday citing an “ongoing incident at library.” The school asked police to help remove dozens of protesters occupying the building. Last week the university paused seeking or accepting gifts or grants from Boeing pending a review of weapons sales to Israel.
• Down in Texas, authorities are taking a much different approach to these protests.
• Police are using flash bangs and pepper spray against pro-Hamas protesters, and dozens are being cuffed and hauled away…
• Sadly, this is just the beginning.
