Like mother, like daughter: Ilhan Omar’s firstborn booted out of college for anti-Semitism



In the case of Ilhan Omar and her daughter Isra Hirsi, the apple truly doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Hirsi stole the spotlight on MSNBC after being kicked out of Barnard College for her actions related to anti-Israel protests on campus.

“Do other student groups have this kind of target on their back, or do you feel that you are being targeted because of the fact that it is in solidarity with Palestinians and against what Israel is doing to Palestinians?” the MSNBC host asked Hirsi.

“This is 100% targeted,” Hirsi replied, telling the host that counterprotesters don’t “receive the kind of disciplinary warnings that many of our fellow organizers receive just for being seen at these protests.”

Hirsi also claimed that there were counterprotesters spraying “chemical weapons,” which some have traced to a student who had fart spray.

Dave Rubin is fed up, calling MSNBC a “Hamas-run television network” and a “cesspool of evil.”

“First off, the counterprotesters come there with American flags and Israeli flags, and they’re peaceful and they sing songs like the National Anthem, things like that. They’re not calling to exterminate anyone or kill anyone or destroy a country,” Rubin says.

“But ultimately, she has to be the victim,” he scoffs.

Rep. Ilhan Omar's daughter learns the hard way that actions have consequences after arrest at anti-Israel Columbia protest



Isra Hirsi, the 21-year-old daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), is not happy that her actions have consequences.

Last week, Hirsi was one of more than 100 students arrested for setting up and participating in the "Gaza Solidarity Encampment" on Columbia University's campus.

The anti-Israel protest remains ongoing, forcing Columbia to cancel in-person classes on Monday. The protest, moreover, is reportedly threatening the safety of Jewish students. On Sunday, Rabbi Elie Buechler, a prominent Jewish leader who works at the university, said police "cannot guarantee Jewish students’ safety in the face of extreme antisemitism and anarchy."

After her arrest, Hirsi revealed she had been suspended from Columbia University's Barnard College, a consequence that school leaders warned of the day before the arrest.

In a new interview with Teen Vogue, Hirsi explained the panic that set in after she learned the consequences of her actions are real.

"When I got to 1 Police Plaza, my roommates had brought me a bag of clothes because they knew that I was likely evicted. We were reading our email and it said we had 15 minutes to go get our s*** if we wanted it, and we'd have to go with a public safety escort," Hirsi said.

"I was like, 'I'm not going to do that.' But I was a little bit frantic, like, 'Where am I going to sleep? Where am I gonna go?' And also all of my s*** is thrown in a random lot. It’s pretty horrible," she added.

According to Hirsi, she hasn't been officially banned from campus or expelled, but she is suspended.

"I don't know when I can go home, and I don't know if I ever will be able to," she said. "I haven't formally been evicted. I haven't been sent a 'move out' email, but they've just said that I can't get in, whatever that means. I have like four shirts, two pairs of pants."

"I cannot go to the dining hall. I sent them an email like, 'Hey, I rely on campus for my meals, I rely on my dining plan,' and they were like, Oh, you can come pick up a prepackaged bag of food, a full 48 hours after I was suspended. There was no food support, no nothing," Hirsi explained of her consequences.

Despite her comments, Hirsi is not homeless, and she is not going hungry. She is, after all, the daughter of a sitting congresswoman.

That congresswoman, on the other hand, is "enormously proud" of her daughter for "pushing her school to stand against genocide."
