Heartbroken mother mourns son killed by Hamas: 'Finally you're free'

>> Dana: GLAD THERE IS AN AMERICAN COMPANY THAT CAN HELP. >> FOR 23 YEARS I WAS PRIVILEGED TO HAVE THE MOST STUNNING HONOR TO BE HERSH'S MAMA, I'LL TAKE IT AND SAY THANK YOU. I JUST WISH IT HAD BEEN FOR LONGER. FINALLY MY SWEET BOY, FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY IS FREE. I WILL LOVE YOU AND I WILL MISS YOU EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE BUT I KNOW YOU ARE RIGHT HERE, I JUST HAVE TO TEACH MYSELF HOW TO FEEL YOU IN A DIFFERENT WAY. >> Dana: TALK ABOUT A -- THE GRIEF SHE BROKE DOWN IN TEARS OVER THE LOSS OF HER SON AND HOURS LATER THE ANTI-SEMITISM THAT LED TO HIS EXECUTION-STYLE MURDER IS STILL FINDING A BREEDING GROUND ON THE STREETS HERE AT HOME IN NEW YORK CITY. WELCOME TO A NEW HOUR OF "AMERICA'S NEWSROOM," I'M DANA PERINO. >> Bill: PROFOUND STATEMENT FROM THAT MOTHER. GOOD MORNING. ASME OWE BILL HEMMER. GOOD MORNING AT HOME. DEVASTATING CONTRAST. GRIEVING MOTHER FOLLOWED BY ANTI-ISRAEL PROTESTORS FILLING THE STREETS OF NEW YORK CITY SETTING OFF FLARES AND SMOKE BOMBS AND WAVING THE FLAGS OF HAMAS AND HEZBOLLAH. >> Dana: IT LOOKS SIMILAR TO THE PROTESTS WE SAW IN SPRING AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. NOW WITH THE FALL SEMESTER STARTING THERE TODAY JEWISH STUDENTS AT THE IVY LEAGUE CAMPUS ARE GRIPPED WITH FEAR AND BRACING FOR THE WORSE. >> Bill: MIKE LAWLOR IS STANDING BY BUT FIRST AT ALEXIS MCADAMS AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY YOU WERE UP THERE REPORTING A LOT FOR US. >> GOOD MORNING. FROM THE UPPER WEST SIDE YOU CAN SEE BEHIND ME IT SURE LOOKS SIMILAR TO WHAT WE SAW MONTHS AGO. IT IS A NEW SCHOOL YEAR HERE AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTORS MARCHING CALLING ON THE SCHOOL TO DIVEST HAVE ISRAEL SAYING COLUMBIA HAS BLOOD ON ITS HANDS. I WAS THERE YESTERDAY WALKING THE STREETS FOR SIX OR SEVEN MILES WITH THOUSANDS OF PRO PALESTINIAN PROTESTORS ACROSS MANHATTAN. WATCH THIS. ACCORDING TO THE NYPD THERE WERE 5,000 PEOPLE YOU ARE LOOKING AT THERE WALKING AROUND NEW YORK CITY DURING A PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTEST ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THAT CROWD GOING FOR MILES WITH CHANTS THAT BOTH PRESIDENT BIDEN AND ISRAEL ARE COMPLICIT IN A GENOCIDE. ONE PROTESTOR IS CARRYING A HAMAS FLAG, YOU GUYS. THIS HAS MADE MAJOR HEADLINES ACROSS THE WORLD. OTHERS YELLING OUT LONG LIVE HAMAS. ONE PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTOR SAYING HE IS LIVID THE U.S. IS TAKING PART IN A GENOCIDE. LISTEN. >> IT IS HARD NOT TO FEEL A LITTLE RAGE SOMETIMES WHEN THE ENTIRE WORLD IS SITTING AROUND DOING NOTHING TO STOP A GENOCIDE IN THE 21ST CENTURY. REALLY QUITE UPSETTING. RAGE IS AN APPROPRIATE EMOTION. >> NOT JUST THOSE PROTESTORS UPSET. I TALKED TO JEWISH PEOPLE FROM NEW YORK CITY WHO GATHERED THERE AND SICKENED THAT THIS PROTEST BROKE OUT IN THE BIG APPLE HOURS AFTER THE DEATH OF SIX MORE ISRAELI HOSTAGES INCLUDING AN AMERICAN YOUNG MAN HERSH GOLDBERG. WE HEARD FROM HIS MOM. THEIR FAME LALLS HAD TO SAY FINAL GOODBYES, PRO-ISRAEL PROTESTORS SAY IT WILL IMPACT THE UPCOMING ELECTION. >> HOW THIS IS BEING HANDLED BY PRESIDENT BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS. WILL IT CHANGE HOW YOU VOTE? >> I AM A SINGLE POLICY VOTER. ISRAEL STRAIGHT THROUGH AND THROUGH. ISN'T KAMALA THE ONE WHO SAID SHE SYMPATHIZES WITH THE HUMAN EMOTION OF THESE PROTESTORS? WHAT ARE YOU SYMPATHIZING WITH, TERRORISM? HAS JOE BIDEN MADE A SPEECH ABOUT ANYTHING? AN AMERICAN GOT SHOT IN THE HEAD. WHERE IS EVERYONE? WHERE IS THE ACCOUNTABILITY? I DON'T GET IT ANYMORE. I MIGHT BE GOING OFF THE LAMB HERE. IF YOU ARE JEWISH AND VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS YOU ARE CRAZY, I'M SORRY, YOU ARE INSANE. >> THOSE PROTESTS COMING AFTER A REPORT BY THE COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY TASKS FORCE THAT FOUND MAJOR ISSUES ON THIS CAMPUS. JEWISH STUDENTS AT THIS IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL SAY THEY WERE CHASED OUT OF DORMS, SPAT ON AND PINNED AGAINST WALLS DUE TO THEIR FAITH FOLLOWING THE OCTOBER 7TH MASSACRE BY HAMAS. COME BACK LIVE TO SHOW YOU WHAT IS HAPPENING AT THE SCHOOL AS YOU SEE THE 200 PEOPLE MARCHING HERE OUTSIDE OF THE CAMPUS AROUND 10:00 IN THE MORNING ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. THEY ARE CHECKING EVERYBODY'S I.D. BADGE BEFORE THEY LET THEM IN. THE CROWD DID CONTINUE TO GROW. ONLY POPPING UP ABOUT A HALF HOUR SO WE'LKEEP YOU POSTED WHAT'S GOING ON HERE DANA AND BILL. >> Bill: THE LEFT HA
