The scale of support on college campuses for militant antisemitism and even for Hamas barbarism has alarmed most Americans, but there’s something else here that ought to trouble us, too: a startling ignorance of the most basic facts of Middle Eastern history. These are college students being educated on renowned campuses—yet they know virtually nothing about the matter they are protesting.
How can that be?
Let’s begin by asking what a serious education about the conflict in the Middle East would look like. At a minimum, we would expect students to have a basic grasp of the case made by each of the two sides. They should be able to evaluate both sets of claims, but that would require knowledge of the major historical events that each side appeals to when justifying its position.
A grasp of both sides is education; exposure to only one is propaganda.
Unfortunately, propaganda regarding Israel is now routine on our campuses. College teachers are withholding from their students anything that might interfere with their radical ideology, which really means keeping their students ignorant of what they’re supposed to be teaching.
Consider a few examples of the huge gap between the slogans that students have been taught to chant and the facts of Middle Eastern history.
A constant refrain of the students is that Israelis are “settler colonialists,” that is, people without any intrinsic connection to the area. But Hebrew and Arabic are closely related languages that both originated in roughly the same area. Hebrew probably arose in what is now Israel, Arabic in what is now Syria. Of the two, Hebrew actually has a much longer recorded history in the area.

They need their own university. They got the money. Place would have to be gated as their enemies would go looking for them.
Because all of the dumbass “perfesers” feeding vomit to the student loan deadbeats are America-hating foreigners.
Call it West Bank U.
JEALOUSY! Jews for the most part have higher IQ’s and succeed better than most others.
These students simply acted according to what they were taught.
They used to have them. And their own hospitals.
Mt Sinai, Boston U, etc were all responses to antisemitism.
Probably a mistake to branch out.
Imported and now homegrown Muslim students.
Why are Jews still supporting Demonrats?
Brainwashing.
That’s it.
Because they’ve never been taught true history and they major in Women’s Studies and 14th Century French Art. They don’t know the meaning of the word “fascist” either. But they keep calling Trump a fascist. If anything he’s the exact opposite with DOGE. Plus hating Jews is part of a clique. And these dimwits want to be part of the clique.
Want the perfect answer? ..... read Jonathan Cahn’s book... “The Return of the Gods”
Which would make them where I'd want to go for my education.
Most of the shakers and movers in math and science have been Jews. Wouldn't it be better to make all universities safe for the Einsteins?
Beczuse muslims are pouring into this nation and white rich kids think it’s cool to side with them agaisnt Israel.
**They need their own university.**
*Which would make them where I’d want to go for my education.*
Very good.
Lots of things could be better than what must happen.
But we live in a fallen world.
You might want to check the non-push polls from leftists.
The only accurate polls were in NJ and NY. Jewish voters were a hair more likely to support Trump than gentile voters.
Only in New York. 70% of Jewish vote went to Democrats nationwide.
