FULL DISCLOSURE: it is mandatory due diligence to inform the reader of the following personal nexus to the existential topic at hand, despite the more than obvious, long-standing, rampant anti-Semitism coursing throughout academia — currently, much of which is couched under support for Hamas, that is, despite its Islamic jihadi/genocidal/barbarism!
DOUBLE NEXUSES
AS to Cooper Union: the heretofore premiere college for budding, ambitious architects (and related design fields), yes, it was the prominent address where a much-loved brother-in-law graduated from. A son of Holocaust Survivors (Auschwitz), he felt honored to be immersed within its esteemed halls learning his future craft — only to witness today’s young Islamic Nazis chasing Jews down the very same halls in a threatening and menacing manner!
IT was due to its stellar program that he became an owner of one of the most respected architectural practices in New York City and beyond. Moreover, he even taught upcoming architectural/design students at related NYC institutions too, Parsons School of Design among them — some of whom went onto achieving their own coveted, award-winning success.
AS to the NYPD: the intersection within is as personal as it gets….allowing this investigative journalist/Islamic jihadi terrorism expert certain access that media-types would salivate over.
UNARGUABLY, as soon as Comrade De Blasio took over the helm and decimated/castrated the NYPD — from its well-earned status as the national gold-standard in policing, in tandem with the entire city apparatus, and the totality of the fabric of NYC — it was anticipated (by pie-in-the-sky liberals) that Mayor Adams would restore the NYPD to its former glory. In a nutshell, he is all talk and no action! Bluster-like. Puffed-chest.
MOST significantly, take the latest report re the “NYPD to the rescue” with less than a pinch of salt. Indeed, they have been neutered….relegated to “hands-in-the-pockets” policing….and treated like pariahs by officialdom in charge, no less.

Videos posted by author Melanie Notkin, “Jewish students were threatened about one hour ago at @cooperunion in NYC!! These videos were sent to me from the scene. Verified.”
Individual posting of the videos:
“Pro-Hamas rally at @cooperunion – Their people were trying to bang down cafeteria doors where they knew a group of Jewish students were working. I know the source of these videos. 1/3”
“The people at the pro-Hamas rally could see the Jewish students through the @cooperunion NYC glass windows. They were banging on the windows in this video. That’s when they decided to try to get into the cafeteria (1st video) 2/3″…”This is the pro-Hamas rally calling for an intifada revolution. My source told me they also chanted“Free Palestine from the river to the sea” – which means to annihilate Israel and the Jews. @cooperunion NYC”
Video of the pro-Hamas mob from another vantage point posted by a Jewish Cooper Union student (not clear if he personally took the videos):
“The hallways of @cooperunion today. This is not ok. @cooperunion please protect your students”
“Here is more footage from today at @cooperunion This is the life for Jewish/Israeli college students”
“Just spoke with the Uncle of one of the Jewish students barricaded in the Cooper Union Library by the Hamas Terrorists, His nephew refused to go out through the tunnels- he was led out the front door by a huge number of NYPD surrounded by the Hamas thugs.”
Viral message, “BREAKING NOW: my sources tell me several Jewish students @cooperunion are currently locked in the school library as a pro Hamas rally outside of the cooper Union building learnt the Jews were afraid and sitting in the library, then brought the protest inside and are barricading all exits. Police have been called for 40 min and are afraid to get involved. Security locked the students in as they are worried they cannot protect the Jews rn.”
Students for Justice in Palestine reportedly behind the protest:
“I can also report that earlier today, I saw a confirmed weekly guidelines email sent out by “Students for Justice in Palestine” advising members to partake in “Bird dogging,” which the document defined as following other students around & not responding privacy & space”
