The American flag was re-raised at City College of New York after anti-Israel protesters removed it and replaced it with a Palestinian flag at the Harlem Heights campus.

Video from Wednesday morning captured members of the NYPD standing atop the base of the flagpole as they worked to remove the four-color flag, ripping it from the rope before tossing it to the ground.

The American flag was subsequently raised back up during an impromptu ceremony along with a speech from NYPD Deputy Commissioner Kaz Daughtry.

Notorious anti-Israel demonstrator Lisa Fithian, who got $300 a day to teach protest 101, spotted among Columbia rioters

“An incredible scene and proud moment as we have assisted @CityCollegeNY in restoring order on campus, culminating in raising Old Glory once again on their campus flagpole,” Daughtry wrote on X.

The Palestinian flag had been flying at CCNY since protesters raised it last week when they set up an encampment at the public institution.

Protesters clashed with police at the Harlem CUNY campus Tuesday night, fighting cops who tried to break up the protest and throwing garbage at them.

Dozens were arrested outside City College.

What's the point? It reminds me of an old saying.

Math courses are meant to teach math. Science courses are meant to teach science. And liberal arts courses are meant to teach you that the liberal arts course was important.

"...toss away Palestinian flag in iconic moment after quelling City College pro-terror protest."

Has the NYPD started an investigation on them yet?

Unfortunately, yes. If you recall after 9/11, it was more than just Obama's pastor Jeremiah Wright saying things like "God da** America".

It’s a small step in the right direction, but it’s a step.

There is no Palestine, only colors of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, white, red, black and pale green. These events are a precursor to those ahead.
Foreshadowing of the pale green horse was revealed during the Arab spring of 2011.

Blessed are those who dwell in the shelter of the Most High. They rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I stand with Israel.

Plus, the guys who did the Pali-flag-trashing / Old-Glory-raising were “men of color”

There goes the “America is a white patriarchy” narrative ...

NYCPD - you folks rule! Please keep it up, since your group and the firefighters appear to be the only sane folks in the city.

You are right.

Note: I do not mean all black people follow this.
It still happened.

Even Obama after laughing and tilting his head back with Michelle as they listened, condemned this phrase later to look good in the media.
