Cornell University student threatened to stab and rape Jewish students and ‘shoot up’ school, prosecutors say
A 21-year-old Cornell University junior was charged Tuesday for making online threats to Jewish students at the Ivy League school, authorities said.
Patrick Dai, a junior at Cornell, faces a charge of posting threats to kill or injure another using interstate communications, federal prosecutors in the Northern District of New York said.
In a post in an online discussion board, prosecutors said, the student allegedly threatened to "shoot up" a campus building. In another post, he said he he would "stab" or "slit the throat" of Jewish men, and rape or throw off a cliff Jewish women he encounters on campus, according to the prosecutors.
He also said he would behead Jewish babies and threatened to "bring an assault rifle to campus and shoot all you" Jewish people, prosecutors said, attributing the words to Dai.
The entire situation is a dumpster fire. Hamas resorting to random acts of violence instead of a targeted attack dooms their cause. Giving in to terrorism sends the message that it is an effective strategy, encouraging more of it. Israel's reaction is almost as bad. Everyone is being punished for the actions of a few. The antisemitism from people like this hurts the Palestinian cause too.
Hamas is not Fatah. Hamas has one cause - staying in power. And Israeli retribution is exactly how they plan on staying in power.
Hamas has always been a terrorist organisation, they've never had a legitimate wing. They use religion as an excuse for being a vicious murderer.
They are no better then ISIS
Pretty sure bombing refugee camps and humanitarian corridors are objectively worse, as are cutting off all food/water/power/aid to the open air prison they've been running for decades is worse than what hamas' is doing.
Obligatory not supporting attacking civilians, but Hamas can't do much except random acts of violence. They're probably one of the worst armed militant groups in the past 100 years.
