America’s top universities are consumed by Israel Derangement Syndrome.
It cannot be overstated how important American Jewish culture has been to modern American life. American Jews helped shape their nation’s psyche. So to see the violent deaths of Jewish men, women and children in Israel being blamed on the Jews themselves, and by the American left no less, is a watershed moment in US history. American Jews have long felt that America was, outside of Israel, the safest and most welcoming country for them. After the events of the past few weeks, that looks to be no longer the case.
Unfortunately, I was not surprised when, just days after the Islamist terrorists of Hamas murdered over 1,000 Jews, Harvard students published a letter in which they announced: ‘[We] hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.’ Like a wife-pummelling husband who blames his actions on the woman for talking back, the supposedly best and brightest of American young people apparently think those Jews had it coming. After all, they also believe, without evidence, that Israel is a ’fascist’ and ‘genocidal’ state.
Israel Derangement Syndrome is a condition that is found across the best colleges in America. At Cornell, history professor Russell Rickford called the Hamas attacks ‘energising’ and ‘exhilarating’. He told a rally that ‘Hamas has shifted the balance of power’ – because apparently that’s what killing babies achieves. Ironically, for someone openly espousing such extreme thuggery, he looks like he could get taken down in a fight by a drunk teenage girl on any British high street. The glib celebration of violence by the kind of people who probably have never experienced a whiff of it in real life is demoralising in the extreme.

These people are unable to deal with the good guys being imperfect humans. So they latch on to those imperfections and howl like a husky in a bath about how "they can not support this" and of course they run their pie holes about "de in-ter-NATIONAL Com-unity" which really means commies.
And they hold the barbarians to no standards at all.
Their chopping off heads, burning people alive, eating people, it is all the fault of the good guys you see.
And they are sure that if you just gave the barbarians what they want they would turn into the pure and perfect angels they really want to be.
It is stupid but what can you say. They have never had to deal with reality.
Maybe because they really ARE NOT educated?!?!
I keep asking. When are American Jews going to wake up? This is all coming from the Left. Y’know, the same side that American Jews have supported with their money and talent and have voted for to the tune of about 70%.
Yes, that’s right.....its the LEFT.
These aren’t KKKers. This isn’t the NAZI party. (what few of those two groups of pathetic losers exist). This isn’t rednecks in the back woods. This isn’t MAGA Republicans. This comes from the heart of the Establishment. From LEFTISTS in politics and academia. Your supposed “Allies” are the ones who hate you and want you dead. And they make no secret of it.
Time to wake up.
Why else would elite academics be showing the kind of anti-Semitism and support for terrorists that we are seeing today?
It is only a small minority of Harvard students who are Hamas apologists!
Most are too busy for any kind of political activism.
Then there are the hundreds-strong Jewish members of Harvard Hillel, who stand with Israel and oppose the “Harvard Hamas” group!
Many Harvard faculty members have also signed petitions or made statements supporting Israel.
So saying that “Harvard supports Hamas” is simplistic indeed!
Brains and common sense are as far apart as we are from Pluto.
Good article bookmarked.
There’s also the spiritual aspect.
They are demonically influenced or possessed.
There are some ideas so stupid that only intellectuals can believe in them.
