‘I’ll Go There’: MSNBC’s Scarborough Points the Finger at Qatar For ‘Radicalizing’ Students at U.S. Colleges

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough fumed at pro-Palestinian protestors on college campuses on Thursday morning as scenes of violence played out at UCLA.

“Protest peacefully. Learn about the situation,” Scarborough began on his show Morning Joe, adding:

I will just say from my reporting. And an overwhelming majority of the students that have been involved get their news from TikTok. They have no idea what happened in 2000 at Oslo. They have no idea that the Palestinians were offered 97% of the West Bank, and they were going to be compensated the other 3%.

They have no idea that there was a right of passage from Gaza over to the West Bank. They had no idea the deal that Bill Clinton was able to pull together between Israel and Palestine. And then Yasser Arafat passed on it. Why? I said it in real time because he knew Hamas would kill him. He would end up just like Sadat.

They have no idea about this. They have no idea. If they did, they would understand just how dangerous Benjamin Netanyahu was to the peace process, and they would understand how he had an alliance with Hamas. He had an alliance with Hamas, because the one thing that Hamas and Benjamin Netanyahu had in common is they saw peace, they saw a two state solution as a threat to their very existence.

Scarborough’s co-hosts jumped in and directly discussed the scenes playing out at UCLA, which were shown on screen as Scarborough spoke.

Rev. Al Sharpton blasted the students as pawns for forces that will ultimately get Donald Trump reelected. “They don’t care. Their agenda is this and they’re using these young students as props, by the way, for an anarchist agenda,” Sharpton insisted.

Scarborough jumped back in and added, “And we need journalists. We need reporters. We need people figuring out about the funding not just of this, but the radicalization of our students on college campuses on this issue.”

“Let me tell you. And I’ll go there, Qatar, maybe I believe they’re the largest contributor to American universities over the past decade, Qatar. They have poured hundreds of millions of dollars into American universities to have a radicalizing effect on Middle Eastern studies. And I must say, it has worked,” concluded the former Republican congressman.
