The best line: stop hand-wringing and take action.

Hand wringing won't help here. It shouldn't be THAT difficult to find out who the cadres are that began organizing the pro-Hamas turnout on October 8th, right after the massacre and rapes and kidnaps. A lot of that organizing got done on campuses, and a few of those cadre types need to be heavily investigated, arrested and charged. Moreover, their affiliations and their sources of funding need to be publicized. About time that the student no-nothings began to open their eyes and see who is using them, and for what ends. Today's CNN online featured two items -- (1) a condemnation posted by the Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs bemoaning the "harsh" treatment of protesting students on some of the US campuses and (2) an article announcing that Iranian rapper Toomaj Salehi has been sentenced to death --- to DEATH -- for protesting in 2022. The cynicism and manipulation know no bounds. Time for sleepwalkers in Columbia, Yale and elsewhere to stop mouthing "from the river to the sea" and be, finally, shaken awake. Really awake this time.
