The recent surge of anti-Israel protests on college campuses across the United States has sparked concerns among political commentators, who fear it could negatively impact President Joe Biden's chances of re-election.

These protests, some of which have escalated into violence, have been reported at several institutions, including Columbia University and the University of California, Los Angeles.

MSNBC host Al Sharpton has suggested that these protests could have far-reaching political implications, potentially influencing the outcome of the next presidential election and posing challenges for Democratic mayors in major American cities. Sharpton's co-host, Mika Brzezinski, echoed these concerns, suggesting that the protests could inadvertently aid in the re-election of former President Donald Trump.

"The politics of this is a lot different, because you're now impacting the national elections," Sharpton stated. He further warned of potential problems in cities like Chicago and Los Angeles, where Democratic conventions are due to take place. "The mayor of Chicago is a black man named Brandon Johnson. And are you going to impact the fact that there's a right-wing there that would love to see problems that bring him out. Or Karen Bass in L.A. There are different factors here that we need to understand soberly."

Sharpton also expressed his frustration over the lack of pro-Palestinian protests at Trump's recent rallies in two states, despite the former president's well-known opposition to a Palestinian state. "But Trump is getting a pass?" he questioned. He urged observers to focus on the "real enemy" obstructing a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians.

In a recent interview with Time Magazine, Trump criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's handling of the Hamas attack on October 7. The former president stated that his hopes for a two-state solution have dissipated and that the criticism directed at Netanyahu over the attack is warranted.

Brzezinski concluded the discussion with a stark warning: "This elects Trump in so many ways if it escalates or continues to do so." As the protests continue to unfold, their potential impact on the political landscape remains a topic of intense debate.
