By now we all know that academia is utterly compromised, filled with anti-Western propagandists who see their role as being the vanguard of the proletariat.
Still, even I am shocked at how brazen these professors from the City University of New York, a once-great institution, are in their open support not just for Hamas, but for their acts of terrorism.
The events of October 7th weren’t terrorist acts, but a “military operation” that just happened to include rape, indiscriminate murder of civilians, and the desecration of bodies.
You know, like any military operation, right?
And there is also no equivalence between the October 7 military operation by Hamas and the subsequent military attack by the Israeli state, and certainly no equivalence to the systemic and the violence of Israeli settler colonialism. Israeli state violence has defined Palestinian life in Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip since 1948. The dispossession of Palestinian land by ever-expanding settlements, theconstruction of Israeli educational institutions on settlement land, the routine incarcerationandkilling of Palestinian protestors, the eviction of Palestinians and destruction of their homes, and the gunning down of Palestinian and Palestinian-American journalistsare but a few examples. The Gaza Strip, described by Human Rights Watch as the world’s largest open-air prison, has been under Israeli blockade since 2007. Everyday life for the over 2.4 million Palestinians in Gaza, 55% of whom are children and more than 70% of whom are refugees, is crippled by restrictions on access to food, water, medical aid, electricity, and basic life necessities. Israel’s attacks on Gaza in 2008-09, 2014, 2021, and 2022 have resulted in the killing of almost 4,000 Palestinians.
Over the past few days, the situation has worsened considerably. Open calls for the outright elimination of Palestinians are echoing in the United States and abroad. Israel continues its indiscriminate bombing of civilian spaces—homes, schools, universities, hospitals, ambulances—and has cut off the supply of food, water, fuel, and medicine. In just the past week, over 3,000 Palestinians, including more than 1,000 children, have been killed in Israeli air raids. This collective punishment of civilians, whom the Israeli government has long dehumanized and now describes as “human animals,” is illegal under international law. Now, in preparation for a ground invasion of Gaza, more than half of its residents have been ordered to evacuate. More than 600,000 Palestinians have been forced to leave their homes at least once since October 7, according to the Palestinian health ministry. Many are calling this forced displacement a second “Nakba” that echoes 1948.
Now I don’t hesitate to agree with one statement here–that there is no equivalence between Israel’s response to Hamas’ attacks and the attacks themselves.
But the CUNY professors mean the opposite of what you and I would say: they see the Hamas attacks as a justified military operation to strike out at oppressive Israelis. They are openly endorsing the terrorist attacks and declaring them morally just, while Israel’s operation to root out Hamas is a violation of international law.
Uh, yeah, no both in fact and in moral judgment. No international law endorses rape, intentional targeting of civilians, or the murder and beheading of babies.
Only academics and psychopaths do.
The entire narrative of Israel as an oppressive apartheid state is bunk, as is the myth of an Israeli occupation of Gaza. Gaza is ruled by Hamas and has been for years, without Israeli troops. It has suffered from a partial embargo by Israel and Egypt–yes, Egypt embargoes Gaza as well–in order to limit the weapons that Hamas can get because it is in a unilateral war with Israel. It is a terrorist state.
Israel, on the other hand, does not exclude Arabs from its land or its government. Arabs not only live freely in Israel, they are full citizens. The number of Jews living under Palestinian rule is zero, and they certainly have no say in its governing. It is the Palestinian Authority that is the apartheid government, not Israel.
None of this matters, of course, to the academics coming out in support of Hamas and its antisemitic terror campaign. They have chosen sides, attacking Israel as the terrorist aggressors and Hamas as the righteous freedom fighters for international law.
Don’t forget for a moment that you, I, and the taxpayers of New York in this case are paying these savages’ salaries. Higher education is mostly funded by the government through grants, student loans, and direct subsidies to the institutions.
That should stop, right now.
The high IQ, big education intellectual leftist has assisted, enabled, applauded and/or ignored almost every human atrocity on earth for going on 125yrs.
Give Israel the coordinates.
High education = low life scum.
May the Bear Jew find these pieces of racist Mitt.
I’m seeing that The Baby Harp Seal Rule and The Beechnut Rule are both in effect now with these CUNY pantloads.
these “professors”
have nothing to do with education
they are propagandists indoctrinating students on our dime
it needs to stop
they should be fired
People used to say the Jews control everything. I hope for once it’s true and that powerful Jews find a way to strike back at these enemies within our country.
These are the supposed pro-Hamas Jews that invaded the U.S. Capital today :

Sick. Evil.
Easy morality, check: which side would Hitler be on?
Virtually all of the harsh and repressive living conditions the “Palestinians” complain about (such as destruction of homes) are punishments for acts of terror committed by a family member. Most would disappear if the palis would give up terrorism and their genocidal obsession, but they won’t. They keep doubling down on it.
According to 8 U.S. Code Subchapter V - ALIEN TERRORIST REMOVAL PROCEDURES via § 1531 and 8 U.S. Code § 1182 - Inadmissible aliens and 8 U.S. Code § 1227 - Deportable aliens - (a)(4)(b), endorsing or espousing terrorist activities or persuading others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization is a deportable offense.
The question is whether or not you believe that student groups who organize rallies or encourage others to attend rallies in support of the Hamas attacks against Israeli civilians is a form of endorsing or espousing terrorist activity or terrorist groups and if those students who attend those rallies are also endorsing or espousing terrorist activities or groups.
If you do believe that, then deporting them under 8 U.S. Code § 1182 is legal.

Ever notice that universities expell students and professors who commit trivial and inadvertent offenses against black and brown students, yet do nothing when thousands of students and professors openly support the rape, murder and extermination of Jews? Looks like CUNY and other schools don’t think Jews deserve safe spaces and a non hostile learning environment. Why doesn’t the U.S. Dept. of Education cut off all financial support to those racist schools?
CUNY is a marxist dump. It doesn’t surprise me that people who preach hate for the West would take that stand.
These people are your enemy.
Marxists have been working to take over our universities for decades.
When are Jewish Americans going to wake up?
Their enemies...the people who hate them and wish them dead for simply being Jews...are almost all on the Left and vote solidly Democrat.
I no longer wonder how the Germans tolerated and permitted the atrocities committed by the Nazis. Now I know.
