LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In recent weeks, the corridors of higher education have echoed with chants of protest and the clash of ideas, as fervent student activists have taken to the streets, demanding change and challenging the status quo.

Among the myriad voices clamoring for attention, one particular assertion has sparked controversy and ignited debate across the internet: the claim that "Hamas influencers at universities are smelling like Antifa."

Jesse Watters' controversial remarks and the USC incident

Jesse Watters, known for his provocative commentary on Fox News, stirred the pot with his recent remarks, suggesting a nexus between the Palestinian militant group Hamas and the anti-fascist movement Antifa, particularly within the confines of university campuses.

"One incident that has fueled this perception occurred at the University of Southern California (USC), where tensions escalated during what was dubbed 'Arab Spring Break'," Watters stated, highlighting the events that unfolded on campus. "Radicals at USC swarmed police and blocked their squad cars from leaving the scene after arresting a bunch of wannabe jihadis."



 

Jesse Watters' insights into campus dynamics

The emergence of what Watters terms "Hamas influencers" on college campuses raises questions about the nature of student activism and the influence of external agendas.

"But these Hamas influencers are starting to smell like Antifa," Watters remarked, drawing a parallel between the two groups.

"The protests are happening on college campuses whether the colleges want them or not," Watters pointed out. "Universities shouldn't be surprised by these insurgent cells popping up on their grounds. They've made fostering these anti-American ideas a key point of their curriculum."

"New York's renowned Fashion Institute of Technology, not traditionally a haven for political activism, tried to shut down a protest that was starting on their grounds, but outside reinforcements showed up and forced their way inside to support the budding encampment," Watters recounted, illustrating the complexities of campus dynamics.

Twitter reactions reflect concerns over funding and allegiances

Twitter reactions to Jesse Watters' claims and the events at USC reflect a spectrum of concerns and suspicions.

One user said, "They're being paid. Look at the likes of the GS organizations. That is who is behind all of it."



 

Another added, "And....if arrested, who is bailing them out????"



 

One user commented, "They are the new antifa."



 

One said, "Who’s paying them? I wonder if they’re paying their fair share of taxes?"



 

One user replied, "Hamas is evil. These spoiled brats have no idea."
