Madam Kovarian: You appear to be closing down, Dorium. What have you heard?
Dorium: That you pricked the side of a mighty beast, Madame Kovarian, and entirely failed to run. I admire your courage. I should like to admire it from afar.
Madam Kovarian: We’ve been waiting a month. He’s done nothing.
Dorium: Do you really think so? There are people all over this galaxy that owe that man a debt. By now, a few of them will have found a blue box waiting for them on their doorstep, poor devils.
Colonel Manton: You think he’s raising an army?
Dorium: You think he isn’t? If that man is finally collecting on his debts, God help you, and God help his debtors.
Colonel Manton: Why?
Dorium: Colonel Manton, all those stories you’ve heard about him, they’re not stories, they’re true. Really. You’re not telling me you don’t know what’s coming?

Doctor Who, A Good Man Goes to War 2011

A lot of people have talked about “consequences” for the various Student “protestors” but there is one set of consequences that nobody seems to have considered.

The basis for this set of consequences is inadvertently made by, Victor Davis Hanson, who continues to be a national treasure, in his latest piece as he nails the single most important take-away from these campus protests:

Remember, the protests started on October 7, not on October 27, when the IDF went into Gaza. At that point, campus and street protests merely changed from euphoric triumphalism on the news that Hamas had slaughtered, decapitated, mutilated, raped, or kidnapped hundreds of Jews (“exhilarated,” a Cornell professor gushed of the carnage), to furor and violence. So after three weeks of celebrating dead Jews, the street protests grew furious only when the IDF finally began fighting back and destroying Hamas, even as its terrorists cowardly hid beneath mosques, hospitals, and schools to ensure enough collateral damage to incite pro-Hamas Western throngs.

This raises an important question about these “spontaneous protests” that nobody seems to be asking:

To what degree where were they actually coordinated with the Hamas attack, that is, where they PART of attack, planned to demoralize Israel and gather support for the slaughter of Jews as it happens?

This is an important consideration because if they were an integral part of the Hamas attack, then those participating in them are in fact Hamas.

Why is this important? Let’s turn back the clock to October 12th and this speech by Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu (emphasis mine):

“We saw the beasts. We saw the barbarians we are facing,” Netanyahu said in a televised address, according to The Times of Israel. “We saw a cruel enemy” which was “worse than ISIS.”

“How staggering the atrocity. How great the pain,” Netanyahu said. “We are fighting with full force, on every front, we have gone onto the attack. Every member of Hamas is a dead man.”

Bibi didn’t put a limit on who these Hamas members are, where they were or if they materially participated in the attack, if you’re Hamas you’re dead and given the amount of Israeli soldiers who have tried to bring this about, I suspect the Jewish state is not going to be all that picky over any person who proudly proclaims themselves Hamas.

Do I think that means that IDF soldiers are going to suddenly turn up at US campus’ and start killing students? No, Israel is going to have plenty to do in cleaning up the mess in Gaza they will be tied up for years.

That being said Israel as a state has a long memory and if they haven’t raised October 7th to the level of the Holocaust to them it’s just a tiny bit below it. If you don’t believe me ask those who served as guards in the death camps or those involved in the 1972 Olympic attack. Ask them if the Jewish state ever forgot.

If you’ve been arrested and your name taken down don’t doubt for one minute that the best intelligence agency in the world will know that name. Odds are if your just some dumb kid who doesn’t know better they’ll pass on you, remember your name but pass on you. The worst you’ll face is a blacklist at particular jobs and companies, but if you’re an organizer if you had a hand in this, if the Mossad decides for one moment that you were part of the overall plan right from the start, well I’d be very careful if I travel outside of the US from this point on because I suspect your name is now on a list to die.

You’ve declared yourself Hamas and Israel is going to take you at your word.

It might take 5 years, it might take 10 years it might take 20 years but when it comes to long term revenge we Sicilians have nothing on Israel. I don’t care how much the Arab states are paying you. I don’t care how much George Soros or the Tides foundation or Arabella have kicked in. I don’t care how comfortable a life they’ve given you. Speaking as a guy working long hours and struggling financially who can only dream about getting something like the $8K for one days work that some of those folks got, let me say this.

I wouldn’t trade places with you for all the treasure on earth.
