Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., blasted the United Nations on social media platform X for failing to condemn Hamas<\/a> for months after Oct. 7 while voicing concerns about how the U.S. has treated anti-Israel agitators.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“UN: Unwilling to condemn Hamas who killed, raped, mutilated and tortured more than 1,000 Israeli babies, children, women, and elderly,” Fetterman wrote, adding “Also UN:” followed by a headline from Reuters that declared U.N. rights chief Volker Turk was “troubled by treatment of pro-Palestinian protesters at U.S. universities.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Turk, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, on Tuesday condemned American police for “disproportionate” action against anti-Israel protesters on U.S. college campuses in recent weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The University of California, Los Angeles campus devolved into anarchy overnight<\/a> Tuesday as anti-Israel protests escalated into a clash between opposition groups, prompting police intervention. In New York City’s Columbia University, police stormed Hamilton Hall, which agitators had occupied and barricaded, and forcibly removed the students from the building.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I am concerned that some of law enforcement actions across a series of universities appear disproportionate in their impacts,” Turk wrote in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Incitement to violence or hatred on grounds of identity or viewpoints \u2013 whether real or assumed \u2013 must be strongly repudiated,” he continued. “We have already seen such dangerous rhetoric can quickly lead to real violence.”<\/p>\n

Turk insisted that any violence should be addressed on a case-by-case basis rather than through broad measures that “impute to all members of a protest the unacceptable viewpoints of a few” and that “responses by universities and law enforcement need to be guided by human rights law, allowing vibrant debate and protecting safe spaces for all.”<\/p>\n

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY: \u2018NO CHOICE\u2019 BUT TO CALL NYPD, BUILDING OCCUPATION BELIEVED TO BE LED BY OUTSIDE AGITATORS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“U.S. universities have a strong, historic tradition of student activism, strident debate and freedom of expression and peaceful assembly,” T\u00fcrk said. “It must be clear that legitimate exercises of the freedom of expression cannot be conflated with incitement to violence and hatred.”<\/p>\n

Turk in the days after the Oct. 7 attack condemned the taking of hostages<\/a> and “horrifying mass killings by members of Palestinian armed groups,” though has not outright condemned Hamas itself. In February, he claimed that “all parties” in the Israel-Hamas conflict have committed “clear violations of international human rights and humanitarian laws, including war crimes and possibly other crimes under international law.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres echoed the sentiment, declaring, “It is essential in all circumstances to guarantee the freedom of expression and the freedom of peaceful demonstration, but at the same time it is obvious that hate speech is unacceptable.” Guterres further argued that university authorities themselves should “properly manage” the situation.<\/p>\n

The United Nations has failed to adopt measures <\/a>that would condemn Hamas for its Oct. 7 attack on Israel, often due to vetoes by the Security Council from members such as Russia. Guterres has individually condemned the terrorist attacks against Israel, “for which there can be no justification,” he has said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

American universities have started to take stronger measures to try and clamp down on protests that have spread across campuses as the war in the Gaza Strip drag out past the six-month mark.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ivy League universities, most notably Columbia, have served as a significant flashpoint for protests, which have also popped up on campuses in California and Texas. The University of Texas, Austin suspended the Palestinian Solidary Committee<\/a> after several students were arrested.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prior to clearing out Hamilton Hall, <\/a>Columbia had limited access to its campus<\/a> and locked some of the buildings after protesters had stormed the hall and barricaded the doors using metal gates, wooden tables and chairs, and zip ties.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Footage showed the protesters in New York smashing windows,\u00a0unfurling a Palestinian flag<\/a>\u00a0over a window, and chanting: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” and “Palestine will live forever.” Students have demanded the university divest their financial support of Israel and adopt a policy of transparency with its investments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Administrators insisted that the safety of students remained their “paramount” concern, adding their thanks for “patience, cooperation and understanding.”<\/p>\n

Neither Guterres or Volker’s offices responded to a Fox News Digital request for comment by time of publication.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
