On Friday, November 17, we witnessed pro-Hamas UNC students gathering at the Wilson Library, chanting slogans and waving signs condemning Israel for defending itself in a war started in a barbaric, surprise assault by Hamas that included beheading children, gang rapes, burning people alive, and taking hostages ranging in age from infants to elders.
In a move that was disturbingly reminiscent of Hitler Youth Nazi marches from the 1930’s, the pro-Hamas mob (ordered to wear masks by their leaders) then marched to the South Building while chanting “Intifada, Intifada,” which is a call to attack and kill Jews.
They then blocked the staff of the South Building from doing their jobs for several hours, and bragged about it on social media afterwards.
If you’re as outraged as we are at this behavior being allowed to go unchecked at the flagship campus of the UNC system, please email UNC President Hans and Chair, Board of Trustees, John P Pryer
