Why America’s Richest Universities Are Protecting Hate-Filled Foreign Students
Tablet ^ | 30 Jan 2024 | Tony Badran

Accommodating overseas elites by tolerating antisemitism on U.S. campuses is part of a scheme to turn loss-leader DEI categories into profit centers

Five weeks after Rutgers University suspended the New Brunswick campus chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) on Dec. 11 for violating several university policies, the school reversed its decision and reinstated the pro-Hamas group. In celebration, SJP members filmed a video in the classic Palestinian terrorist style: faces covered in kaffiyehs, reading a communique which, following a diatribe against the Zionists, made a list of demands that the school must meet if it wished to wipe the stain of its complicity in genocide.

Since October, American cities and college campuses have been transformed into stages for this kind of Middle Eastern performance theater in support of Hamas and its murder, torture, and rape of Jews. Performances have ranged from vicarious partaking in the Oct. 7 pogrom, like the tearing down of posters of kidnapped Israelis, to calls for “globalizing” Palestinian terrorism “from New York to Gaza,” to outright expressions of support for Hamas and the extermination of Jews “from the river to the sea”—“by any means necessary,” lest there be any confusion. “There is nothing, nothing more honorable than dying for a noble cause, for justice,” a high-profile organizer of a rally at Columbia shouted into a bullhorn in a thick Arabic accent.

There’s also no confusion about the fact that these rallies feature Arab and Muslim students who eagerly support terrorism—often by denying that Hamas or its actions of Oct. 7 constitute “terrorism” at all....

They’re more than making up for it when they go after LGBQT critics.

Colleges make more money from foreign students than with Americans . They will look the other way on a lot of issues just to keep them coming in. The student visa program needs to be overhauled to stop allowing so many foreigners into America

Those seats should be given to US students, not foreign students. That’d be a good first step. Then, condition federal aid, student loans, etc., on the schools aligning with and teaching American values as American schools.

Yes, right there is the problem. These wealthy Arab and Muslim daddies send their kids here and who's to check their intentions. If they misbehave, daddy writes a check so they aren't expelled subject to deportation. Back in the 70s, we got a bunch of Iranians at my university. They didn't have to attend class or do homework but got As because we had suddenly gone to grading on the bell curve to accommodate them. Guess who were left with the lower grades...

Why? Because those “kids” have nice big trust funds for future donations and endowments.

Here is the quick answer from deep within the article:

Behind this increase lies the simple reality that only a comparatively small number of Americans can afford the mind-numbingly high fees that American universities extort from their captive domestic market. Foreign students, the overwhelming majority of whom are either the children of wealthy foreign elites or directly sponsored by their governments, represent a serious source of funding for American colleges, public and private alike. These students often pay full or near-full tuition and board, and help public universities balance the books in the face of budget cuts. More broadly, they augment revenue by helping to fill federally funded programs that are based on racial and ethnic quotas.

IMO any student that takes part in these terrorist support protests should be immediately expelled from the school, they should be forced to pay back 100% of their student loans plus interest within 3 months of expulsion, and if they are here on a student visa, said visa is revoked immediately and they are permanently expelled from this country.

I have an idea. How about all the Jewish people go to Israel. They will be happy and un-harassed. All the Muslims can go to what ever Islamic country they came from, and they can be happy and un-harassed. Normal Americans, who care about America, can then live in our country, happy and un-harassed by those people.

The Degenerates of the world have found the American weakness.

The majority of American "Leaders" can be bought.

“The majority of American “Leaders” can be bought.”

*************

Our political system affords us the right to elect corrupt, self-serving liars. The sheeple don’t seem to much care about integrity and accountability. Just saying.

As Will Rogers famously said: “We have the best government money can buy.”

Both you and Will Rogers are correct.
