The anti-Israel agitators were actually outsiders – and the schools could not have handled it worse

For many Americans, the words “outside agitators” evoke memories of southern segregationists complaining about northern civil rights workers organizing black Americans.
But times and issues change and those same words now have a very different connotation.
This time they are used by police and northern mayors, some of them black, to refer to professional radicals who helped start the antisemitic, pro-Hamas riots plaguing colleges across the country.
Mayor Adams early on accused “outside agitators” of radicalizing students when unruly mobs formed on campuses within the five boroughs, including New York University, City College, Fordham and Columbia.
“Outside agitators were on their grounds, training and really co-opting this movement,” Adams said about Columbia.
Police statistics confirm the outsiders’ lopsided role.
