Ami Horowitz, a journalist, was violently attacked by a mob of anti-Israel protesters at CUNY’s City College of New York while he was waving an American flag. The incident was caught on video, showing Horowitz being assaulted by the protesters. He claimed that he did not provoke the attack and was simply carrying the flag to expose the level of hate within the encampments. Despite not mentioning anything about Israel or being Jewish, he was verbally and physically assaulted by the protesters.
Horowitz stated that the protests were driven by anti-Israel and anti-American sentiment, with many of the protesters showing animosity towards both countries. He highlighted the connection between those who hate America and Israel, noting that they often belong to the same group. While some protesters were students, there were also older individuals, including an apparent imam, who participated in the attack. Horowitz criticized the city officials for tolerating and protecting these violent individuals.
The journalist emphasized the need for a crackdown on the aggressive campus agitators and expressed his frustration with President Biden’s remarks that seemed to excuse the behavior of the protesters. He called for immediate action to restore order and protect American values. After seeking medical attention for his injuries, Horowitz discussed the danger posed by protesters who aim to undermine the Western way of life, using Israel as a pretext for their anti-American sentiments.
Horowitz condemned the protesters for attacking him simply for carrying an American flag on a campus that all American taxpayers contribute to. He criticized the protesters as thugs and animals who hate America and want to destroy the country. Despite the physical assault he endured, Horowitz remained resolute in his support for American values and denounced the system that allows such hate to fester unchecked. The Post reached out to the protest organizers and CUNY for comment, but there was no response provided in the article.
