Hatred of Western Civilization Stokes the Campus Antisemitism Crisis. Campus mobs would destroy Israel first, then America.
James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal ^ | December 6, 2023 | William A. Jacobson

The unspeakable brutality and depravity of the October 7 Hamas assault on Israel led soon afterward to aggressive protests on many of our college campuses. The protests (and declarations, blog posts, marches, signs, etc.) were overwhelmingly in favor of Hamas, not the victims. Liberal feminist and women’s-rights groups were silent or dismissive of the widespread gross sexual abuse of Israeli women during the attack.

At a large rally near campus, one professor at my school (Cornell) said that the attacks were “exhilarating.” While paying lip service to protecting civilians, his visceral reaction to what was known to be a barbaric attack elicited applause and genocidal chants from the large crowd. A student at Cornell was arrested for making threats against Jewish students. Jewish students have testified in Congress to the poisonous atmosphere at Cornell and the complicity of some faculty.

Jewish students have been vilified as if they were guilty of some heinous crime. Mobs of pro-Hamas students have harassed and taunted them. At Cooper Union, a group of Jewish students had to take refuge in the library when they were harassed by an anti-Israel mob. At George Washington U., slogans like “Glory to Our Martyrs” were projected on buildings. The genocidal chant “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is now commonplace. At Arizona State, Jewish students needed a police escort to escape a howling mob throwing rocks. “By any means necessary” is the frequent phrase used by these student mobs to justify Hamas’s crimes against humanity.

Why did American campuses erupt with expressions of hatred for Israel and Jewish students? What could possibly motivate college students to act in such an inhumane, deplorable way?

In my view, the October 7 assault ignited an antisemitic blaze that has been decades in the making.

Out schools are FILLED, from teachers, professors AND administrative staff, who are the REAL NAZIS.

Nothing to be proud of by working in that hellish environment.

The idiot woke in the US don’t believe that the terrorist muslims won’t come after us if Israel were destroyed. Pfft. Also, the Bible says Israel will never leave their land again, so there’s that also.

These young adults are like Mao’s Red Guard.

My heart is breaking.....for my Jewish friends and neighbors and America. I also know that I am next on the list of hate.

I think the tide is turning against Hamas and their sympathizers. I expect that the professors and student terrorists to be expelled.

If you're Christian and Conservative, you're not next. You already are.

#17 on Satan's dream for America. They warned us (1963) but we still allowed it: 17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

Cf. Beliefnet communism's 45 goals.

“Hatred of Western Civilization”

We’re hated but the non-western-civilization people sure want to live in our countries.

The spoiled, arrogant, conceited young adults that have been raised and had most everything that America has provided for them don’t really have a clue what they would get if they did away with western civilization...

These “mobs” are kids just out of high school.
What has happened to parenting in this country?
Why are they permitted to behave so? The only plausible answer is because that is the desired behavior from them. The term “useful idiots” comes to mind.

Amazing to watch how the worm has turned on Progressive/Socialists/Democrats in America and America’s education system. Watching them destroy each other is worth every minute.

Parents were not watching what their kids were being taught at school.

Then they can all live in the squalor they’d like to become accustomed to as muslims and feel good about it.

“had most everything that America has provided for them”

Yes, and that leads to boredom which has been described as the root of a lot of evil.

The hypocrisy of the left is staggering.

Here they are enjoying the fruits of the greatest civilization mankind had come up with, and they hate it and are hell bent on destroying it, taking advantage of the very freedoms they have under it to allow them to do so.
