Are you ready for a healthy dose of schadenfreude? Because pro-Hamas students at Columbia just provided one of the most hilariously satisfying videos of the week.

Setting the scene, chaos broke out at the left-wing Ivy League university on Wednesday, and as of this writing, things were continuing to spiral out of control as nightfall arrived. Multiple buildings were illegally occupied throughout the day, including the Butler Library, which was promptly “renamed” the “Basel Al-Araj Popular University.” According to the protesters, they were liberating it “for the people.”
So yeah, there’s no real question about who these people are and what they are supporting.

Students trying to study for final exams were blocked from entering, and a large police presence responded to the incursion. That’s when something incredible happened. Instead of trying to force the pro-Hamas lunatics to flee the scene, which is the typical tactic with these criminal protests, the police locked them inside. Suddenly, the brave occupiers, who had taken over the building just hours earlier and vowed to stay, started to freak out. Chants of “let us out” could be heard while the pro-Hamas imbeciles pushed against the doors to try to break free.

The police reportedly refused to let anyone leave unless they provided identification, likely so they could have a record of who trespassed for possible future charges. Unfortunately, trying to arrest everyone given the size of the crowd would have been next to impossible.
To be sure, what’s in that video is absolutely pathetic. These are people who want to pound their chests and play tough, but the moment their lawlessness might cost them something, they demand to be able to flee the consequences. That’s not how the real world works. But there’s something else I want you to notice.
How does Islamism spread its influence, given its complete failure to carry out its desired conquest militarily? It does so by feigning victimhood in Western society. That’s how they get hundreds of non-Muslims to take over buildings and rename them after terrorist-supporting radicals. That manipulation is purposeful, and it’s been very successful. That should scare normal Americans because the more this is allowed to continue, the worse it will get. Islamism is a cancer. It doesn’t win overnight, but it spreads and gradually destroys everything it touches.

In the end, Pro-Hamas activists in the United States, just like the real Hamas in Gaza, are cowards. They’ve been coddled by society and believe they can lash out with impunity. To this point, they’ve been mostly correct due to feckless, biased prosecutors in places like New York City. The only way to stop this is for that to change. In the meantime, we can at least laugh at how stupid they are.
