It’s simple, really. Why do so many college and university students hate Israel? Because they know nothing about it, and have bought into the propaganda they’ve been fed.
In the midst of the recent and nationwide demonstrators featuring students (and many others) denouncing Israel for its alleged crimes, Algemeiner reported that “students who care strongly about the ‘Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories’ do not have knowledge of basic facts surrounding the subject, and do not share similar concerns about other geopolitical conflicts.”
This wholly unstartling bit of information was gleaned from a survey of 230 undergraduates at University of California, Berkeley. Ron Hassner, who has the unenviable position of being Berkeley’s Helen Diller Family Chair in Israel Studies, conducted the survey, which began by presenting students with 18 issues and asking them to rate how interested they were in them.
These issues, according to Hassner, included “US-Iran relations, the civil war in Yemen, drone warfare, etc., on a five point scale, ranging from ‘I’m not that interested’ (1 point out of 5) to ‘I care deeply’ (5 points out of 5).” The survey went on from there to ask the respondents a “series of open-ended questions ‘on history, geography, and current affairs.’”F
Forty-three percent of the students were most interested in Israel’s alleged “control of Palestinian territories,” while expressing much less interest in “other Middle East occupations, such as the Kurdish struggle for independence, the occupation of Western Sahara, or the occupation of Northern Cyprus.”
That’s understandable. These indoctrinated bots aren’t inundated daily with self-righteous leftist rubbish about the massive, outrageous, world-historical injustice of the occupation of Western Sahara or Northern Cyprus. In all likelihood, they haven’t even heard of either one.
Why is that likely? Because they know virtually nothing regarding the conflict

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.”
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
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.
That's it in a nutshell whether they recognize it themselves or not.
As there are no Palestinians, there are no Palestinian territories. Just southern Syrians and Israel.
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.
2 words, Tic Tok.
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
“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.
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.
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!
Edit to add... I don’t think the skin tone of Israelis are much different from the Palestinians
Thank you...I have been trying to understand the area...you helped!
