How can universities that allow rioting call themselves elite institutions?

To all U.S. university and college presidents and boards who have tolerated the violent student mobs on your campuses because you refused to call police immediately: Where’s the punishment for student rioters?
You reap what you sow. You cannot have some socialist-communist professors and expect law-abiding students. Violence and destruction is their method. Then communism will be in total control and the people will be their slaves.
Your students don’t even know how to choose good (Israel) over evil (Hamas, who attacked Israel) so how can you call yourselves elite institutions of higher learning when you allow student mobs to threaten Jewish students, police and others? You’re allowing the destruction of campus property and the loss of classroom time.
If Hamas is an organization of honor, when and where is the release of 130 hostages, including two small children? Don’t forget, three or four are our American hostages.
Would you like to be forced to accept Hamas’ hospitality where you live in a hellhole and are frequently being beaten (or even raped) as the hostages are?
Isn’t this treason when you are supporting evil Hamas, an enemy of the U.S. that wants to destroy America?
