Here's the Real Reason Why So Many American University Students Hate Israel

“Eighty-four percent of those in the most passionate cohort could not name the decade when Israel captured the West Bank, while 75 percent could not locate the Palestinian territories in question on a map.” Moreover, a full twenty-five percent of these programmed and propagandized student “placed the Palestinian Territories west of Lebanon, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.” Nor did just a few of them drive the Palestinians into the sea that they chant about wanting to fill with Israelis: “The class average for this blunder was 14%.”

The survey data also showed that “students who expressed the most interest in the Palestinian issue were less informed than more moderate peers, who ‘are more likely to admit gaps in their knowledge and, as a result, are less likely to hold erroneous beliefs.’” Thus “like the rest of the class, only 25% of passionate students placed the Palestinian Territories, correctly, south of Lebanon. But students with more moderate levels of enthusiasm provided the correct answer 28% of the time.”

 'From the river to the sea' is a political slogan that refers geographically to the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, an area also described as Palestine and Eretz Israel, which currently includes Israel and the Israeli occupied Palestinian territories: the West Bank, which includes East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip.
 
  Palestinian progressives use the phrase to call for a united democracy over the whole territory while others say "it's a call for peace and equality after ... decades-long, open-ended Israeli military rule over millions of Palestinians."
 
This slogan has come under international scrutiny following its usage by various Palestinian factions, particularly since Islamist militant faction Hamas used the phrase in its 2017 charter. The slogan's usage by such Palestinian militant groups has led critics to argue that the slogan implicitly advocates for the dismantling of Israel, and a call for the removal or extermination of the Jewish population. Some countries have considered criminalizing its use.

I think most of these antisemites share one thing in common.... they do not really like this country....despite the easy lifestyle and freedom of expression they enjoy.

There is no such thing as Palestine... trick question

[Angelino97]

The "real reason" is not secret or anything that needs to be exposed.

Jews are richer, more powerful, and lighter-skinned that are Palestinians.

It's as simple as that.

Whenever you have rich, powerful white folk beating up on poor, weak, dark folk, who do you think the Left will side with? Doesn't matter who started it. Doesn't matter why the fight ensued. Doesn't matter what would happen if the powerful white folk stop beating on the poor dark folk. Context doesn't matter. Only identity.

They know nothing, they buy into propaganda 100%, and they vote.

“I think most of these antisemites share one thing in common.... they do not really like this country”

One thing in common ... they really hate God.

[BipolarBob]

One thing in common ... they really hate God.

That's it in a nutshell whether they recognize it themselves or not.

Israel is a tiny country (in red) surrounded by Muslims.

[PIF]

As there are no Palestinians, there are no Palestinian territories. Just southern Syrians and Israel.

[MeanWestTexan]

Jews are not lighter skinned than Palestinians. Sephardic Jews (the plurality of Israelii Jews) are, in fact, darker skinned or the same.

Lots of “Palestinians” are fair with red or auburn hair.

they know nothing about it, and have bought into the propaganda they’ve been fed”

Not just Israel of course, climate, race, the founding of the country, the “two” political parties all of it. You send your kid (especially girls) to a college and what you get back is a brainwashed permanently confused person.

“The “real reason [for the hatred of Jews is thatJ Jews are richer, more powerful, and lighter-skinned that are Palestinians.”

I’ve been looking for an explanation for that age-old hatred and yours is as good as I’ve seen, and not 15 pages long.

We could add ‘more intelligent’ and maybe ‘conniving’. However, intelligence is hard to measure.

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

2 words, Tic Tok.

[jpp113]

Six reasons:

1. They know nothing about the history and do not want to know. No intellectual curiosity

2. Immaturity

3. Even though they are blatantly ignorant, they believe they know everything. Same as most teenagers (see No. 2 above)

4. They have been unwittingly indoctrinated in marxism and anti-Americanism in high school and college by libtard teachers and "professors"

5. They're not organically intelligent to begin with. Try teaching a garden slug

6. Allowance of unfettered immigration to the US of ignorant terrorist muslim cultures

[TheThirdRuffian]

“However, intelligence is hard to measure.”

FWIW, IQ tests put Jewish IQ median at 115. Blacks 83.5. (Non-Hispanic whites being 100, and east Asians in the USA 105)

That’s a gap of 2.1 standard deviations, meaning (roughly) 88% of Jews are smarter than the average black.

It’s almost a different species.

[Vaduz]

Because they know nothing about it, and have bought into the propaganda.

Indeed the young and dumb prove they can be lead around by their nose ring it’s amazing how the can know so little about so much.

They like being lemmings because it’s a cool.

[Eagles6]

The West Bank encompasses what were the ancient Israelite kingdoms of Judah and Samaria.

Jews were indigenous to the area at least a millenium or two before islam was invented.

The arabs there, now, trace their roots to settlers that came with the muslim invasion during the crusades, the ottoman empire's annexation and workers that migrated there after Israel's founding.

So...just, who are the "colonizers"???🤔🤨

RE: Whenever you have rich, powerful white folk beating up on poor, weak, dark folk,

The only problem with that characterization is it’s the dark skinned folks who are trying to kill the light skinned folks. The light skinned folks are exercising their right to defend themselves AND WINNING!

[SeekAndFind]

Edit to add... I don’t think the skin tone of Israelis are much different from the Palestinians

[goodnesswins]

Thank you...I have been trying to understand the area...you helped!
