College Students Revel in Blissful Ignorance at Pro-Gaza Rallies
American Thinker ^ | 12/06/23 | Robyn Dolgin

There is an obvious explanation as to why college students engage in “atrocity denialism” at pro-Palestinian marches.

They are (well) clueless, and devoid of all rational thinking. The students aren’t shy about expressing their blissfully ignorant critique of Hamas as “liberators,” and their creepy foray into painting the dark side of evil -- the slaughter and torture of innocent civilians in Israel -- as “necessary.”

Parents don’t have to wonder what’s happening with their kids’ expensive education, they can watch the academic dumpster fire on social media. There isn’t a shortage of embarrassing outtakes of the privileged millennials who are passionate about their pro-Palestine cause and at the same time prove themselves to be passionate know-nothings.

If you’ve missed the most absurd outtakes, I regard you as lucky. Still, a brief overview may be in order to gain perspective on how unhinged our morally challenged youth have become as they allow themselves to become part of the herd.

Let us start with the more amiable students, and work our way down to the unabashed Israelophobes and Jew haters.

Wearing a bright smile, a male student was asked to explain the catchy phrase on his placard that reads: “From the river to the sea -- Palestine will be free.” This slogan was and continues to be widely recycled among thousands of protestors, and hardly serves as a new propaganda tool.

“What river are you talking about?” asked an unidentified interviewer. The question hangs in the air for several seconds. Could the student really be so mind-numbingly ignorant as to not know the incendiary message behind the phrase? “I know the name of the sea,” he offered. “It’s the Mediterranean.”

Perhaps the student should receive partial credit. He turns to his buddy, hoping for a bailout.

CONVERSATION CONTINUES:

“What do you think of Hamas’ slaughtering and raping innocent Israeli citizens?” asked the interviewer of another student.

She doesn’t flinch at the thought of supporting Hamas’ modern-day pogrom campaign. The assault on Oct. 7, she claims, “wasn’t properly investigated, and it’s hard to know what’s true.”

“Isn’t she concerned about supporting a terrorist regime?” asked the interviewer.

“One person’s terrorist is another person’s freedom fighter,” she answers

Sounding like a cheerleader for Hamas terrorists, she has taken the first step into the propaganda wars of normalizing savagery. The internet is fertile hunting ground for any student who wishes to build up an arsenal of denial.

Folks this is one of the many reasons why we have the 2nd amendment.

The government cannot or will not protect you. Heck they might even encourage these animals to attack you.

The only person who can guarantee your and your family's safety is you.

A regular Chatty Cathy. Pull her string rhetorically and the appropriate canned response is produced.

Maybe the way to approach this is to say — they have nothing to say.

We will not listen to them, we will not repeat what they say. We will not give them the time to validate what they say. They are uncivil animals, rubes, fools, but the end result is the same.

Until they are civil again, they have nothing to say. They are evil animals.

And no, pretending to care about one group while encouraging the murder of another is not justice.

Given the lack of standards in today’s colleges, the vast majority of students there revel in blissful ignorance. It wouldn’t take much to have those little turds believe in the flat earth and human induced climate change. No, wait......

They'll get a real education when they groups and people that they defend murder them. T

The real world will bite them in the arse. Too bad it might be too late for the rest of us when they finally realize the truth.

But such is human history.

“What river are you talking about?”

Even when I attended school long ago, the rot had started to sink in an ideology had started to trump the learning of factual knowledge. But I have discovered this wonderful tool to fill in the huge gulf of ignorance left by my privileged schooling. There is this app called Google Maps. So far I have found that when I discover that there is a place I haven't heard of I can look it up. So far the lords of the mapping haven't too badly suppressed geographical locations and place names as being racist or incendiary speech.

And the funny thing is that the more I look up over the years the less I have to look things up.

Ban 'Palestinian' filth from coming to the United States - not to visit, not to live here, not to step foot on our soil...

And the rest of the civilized world needs to do the same.

And stupid American 'students'? Free tickets to live in 'Palestinian' for a year - that'll red pill the idiots.

Progressives are trying to make Israel the new South Africa and are starting a new push for BDS (boycott, divest, and sanction). Should be interesting to see how this plays out as the DNC gets 50% of it’s money from Jewish donors.

Most of the kids I grew up with, went to college. Class of ‘18 and thereabouts. Some to local colleges, some to prestigious universities.
They’re nearly all ignorant leftists today, but they weren’t so in their teens.
Their parents paid good money to dumb them down.

I hadn't thought of colleges as education camps, but you're right.
And damned expensive ones.

By actual measure IQ goes down in college on the average.
