These campus nitwits and stormtroopers in posse endlessly chant their dislike — no, their hatred — for the tiny Jewish state, and their hope for its disappearance, with its Jewish population expelled or killed, so that it may be replaced by a twenty-third Arab state “from the river to the sea.” On the other hand, they find the terror group Hamas, “the resistance” that showed its mettle on October 7, thoroughly admirable.
Here are a few snapshots of the latest demonstrations, which on some campuses are now a monthly or even a weekly affair.
At Stanford, you can see the “Sit-In To Stop Genocide” here:
“The focus here is freedom. It’s liberation. It’s resistance. It’s revolution. It’s intifada.”
Stanford has yet to shut down the sit-in that’s violating university policy.

No one in the Stanford crowd seems to have any problem with describing the war in Gaza as a “genocide,” even though we know that, in order to save civilian lives, the IDF has used every possible means to warn people to leave areas, and to notify civilians to get away from individual buildings that are about to be targeted. It has dropped millions of leaflets, sent millions of pre-recorded messages, made 79,000 phone calls. And if Israel were intent on committing a “genocide” of the Gazans, why is the sister of Yahya Sinwar now being treated in an Israeli hospital?
At Harvard, a black student harangues his audience here:
“But people have to remember I’m a history major.”

He repeats again and again that “there is no black liberation without Palestinian liberation.” And he insists that “there cannot be freedom anywhere as long as Palestine is not free.” He reminds his audience that he is a “history major,” which, I presume, is supposed to testify to the breadth and depth of his knowledge.
I wonder what that black student thinks of the hundreds of thousands of black Africans who are now being held as slaves by Arab masters in Niger, Mali, and Mauritania? I suspect he thinks nothing, because he has never heard a word about those slaves. And if he did hear about Arab slave masters and their black slaves, he would dismiss it as a fiction promoted by “Zionist propagandists.”
At Columbia, students chant “We don’t want two states. We want all of it” here:

In their most recent demonstration, the Columbia students poured fake blood on the snow in the middle of the campus — meant to represent, of course, not the blood shed by Israeli victims of Hamas’ atrocities on October 7, but rather, the blood of the innocent civilians who, we are expected to believe, were being deliberately murdered by the IDF in Gaza.
Fortunately, universities have girded their loins and are one by one showing that they are prepared to face down the pro-Hamas protesters. MIT is the latest in a growing list of schools that are cracking down on pro-Palestinian student organizations, citing similar grounds. The MIT student group that was suspended is Coalition Against Apartheid – an offshoot of the better-known Students for Justice in Palestine. Columbia has banned two pro-Palestinian groups. So has George Washington University. Brandeis University has permanently suspended all pro-Palestinian groups on campus. A congressional investigation into antisemitism on American campuses, obviously prompted by the hideous spectacle of these menacing pro-Palestinian groups, has now begun. Things are looking up.

That land in the Middle East that make up the State of Israel is ,in reality is not under any kind of “occupation.” For all the land belongs to the Jewish people by both Divine right and historic rights.
If a person happens to like it or not , the truth is the God had given all this land that now composes the State of Israel, including all of the West Bank, to the Jewish people. This may be found in the Bible, as seen in, for example, Genesis 28:13-15. 35:10-12. Deuteronomy 32:48,49. Psalm 105:7-11. 1354
In other words the Jews have tall this land by Divine Right. Furthermore, the Jewish people should have this land by historic rights as shown in First Kings 4:20,21, 24,25. 8:55, 56.
“Palestine” is a man-made fiction. In contrast, Israel Is a Bible based reality and she is also God’s “special treasure.” Psalm 135:4. [N.K.J.V.]
bill says
The bible is mythology not history. Most stories therein when examined logically are as full of holes as fishingnet . Yes the Jews have a historic right as they were dispersed from their land by the Romans, and that land was later occupied by the armies of Islam as were all Christian lands so who is the real occupier?
Also as ‘god’ is upposed to have created all humankind, why would he just give things to the Jews and not to everybody.. Does that make ‘god’ a racist?
Bexarkat says
It makes “god” selective in its choices, at minimum. Traditionally “god” chose the Jews to send its message throughout the world. Whether that is true or not is subject to debate, but what is not debatable, is that the message of monotheism representing what the Abrahamic faiths consider the one “true god,” undeniably is attributed to Jews. From this Jew’s perspective, there are many times I’ve had the thought wishing “god” had chosen someone else.
Walter Sieruk says
To Bill , as for your statement and the question you then asked. ‘god’ is upposed to have created all humankind, why would he just give things to the Jews and not to everybody.. Does that make ‘god’ a racist ?”
The answer is that God is all Sovereign. In another words, He is all powerful Supreme Being. Therefore, It’s His complete prerogative. to favor Israel and her people as his “special treasure.” and it’s likewise. His entitlement to be what you call a “racist’ if He wants to , at the same time he will still be just and righteous.
By the way, I’m not Jewish.
Walter Sieruk says
History reveals that the ancient Philistines recorded in the Bible and history came from the Greek Islands and some parts of the mainland Greece. They have no connection, at all, the to the Arab /Muslim of modern times who called themselves the “Palestinians.”
From those ancient people, the Philistines, the word “Palestine” .came into being.
There is no genuine ethic group or race who are the “Palestinians.”
Early in the last century a anyone living in that land, Arab or Jew, who lived in that land was called a ”Palestinian.”
Only after 1964 did the Arab/Muslims start to refer to themselves , exclusively , by the word “Palestinian.”
The reason for that is that they felt that by giving themselves that title they would appear to have some kind of valid claim on that land.
Indeed , there never was a “Palestinian state.”

The name palestine was first applied to the region by the Romans
Jeeves says
According to Mr. Spencer, in an excellent recent lecture he gave, it was the name the Romans gave to the region, around the time of the Bar Kokhba revolt in 134/135 A.D. He added that there were no philistines living there at that time. In 604 BC, the Philistine polity, after having already been subjugated for centuries by the Neo-Assyrian Empire (911–605 BC), was finally destroyed by King Nebuchadnezzar II of the Neo-Babylonian Empire.[2] After becoming part of his empire and its successor, the Achaemenid Empire, the Philistines lost their distinct ethnic identity and disappeared as a people from the historical and archaeological record by the late fifth century BC. source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philistines.
So Mr. Spencer concluded that the population at the beginning of the 20th century consisted of the Jews that weren’t dispersed during the diaspora and the few Arabs which settled there. Mr. Spencer will correct me if I’m wrong.
In other words: the name ‘Palestinians’ is a misnomer, according to Mr. Spencer. There is no such thing. The people who have adopted that name are Arabs. Full stop.
And they weren’t kicked out by the Israelis either. They left at the behest of the newly formed mohamedan states, who were preparing to fight Israel.
Biggles says
Plus a certain influx of zionist Jews, fleeing the antisemitism which was raging all over Europe at the end of the 19th century/ beginning of the 20th century. And they didn’t drive the Arabs off their country, but bought the land from them.

Ray Jarman says
I would like to have a discussion with the parents of the anti-Semitic termites. I am curious as to where these fools received this attitude. It appears that this plight upon all that is honest and right grew up without any historic education or taught the difference between right and wrong. No one with an ounce of knowledge could be this anti-Semitic.
Goofy says
Apparently in school and college, Mr. Jarman! Where once upon a long ago history was (properly) taught.
Ray Jarman says
Goofy,
You are right and I remember in the 1950s in Norfolk, Va, rather than celebrate Geroge Washington’s birthday at home, we took a test about Washington’s life. This was when I was in the sixth grade and I doubt if many graduating from high school would be able to pass the test.
Walter Sieruk says
“Nitwits” they , truly are, but but what else can be expected from those impressionable young people who have been thoroughly brainwash by the many anti-Jewish and anti- Israel left-wing professors, with their Red/Green alliance, in many institutions of “higher education.” throughout the United States.
It’s sad and even tragic that those brainwashed young college and university students non–Muslims Americans throughout the United States, who are protesting against the State of Israel and who likewise greatly favor Hamas are people who are ,rightly , described ,as the “useful idiots” of the leaders of Hamas and their jihadist members who are dedicated to the cause of conquest for the cause of Islam.
Those Americans who aren’t Muslims the stooges of those Hamas chefs and the other Muslim terrorist, For those of Hamas view all people who are not Muslims as inferior creatures to them and refer to them .
Behind their backs as , “Kafirs,” which is the Islamic derogatory term for “disbelievers”
It’s tragic that those non-Muslims pro-Hamas America protesters against Israel are so very deluded by Hamas that this Islamic terror / murder organization so easily manipulates and uses them as their tools.
Those poor young people are not only :nitwits’ be they are also the useful idiots of the stealth jihadists>
Walter Sieruk says
There is obviously something terribly wrong with all those , nitwitted, young people who aren’t Muslim who nevertheless admire and support that vicious dangerous and deadly jihad entity ,Hamas. It might be that they had been deceived, as in lead astray by misinformation by the propagandists for Islam. ?
They, sadly, are confused or outright ignorant or both on the subject of Israel and the religion of Islam with its Muslim terrorist organizations.
Those people must not be aware of the wicked dangers of that demonic jihad entity, Hamas, with is jihadists, have no limits, at all, to its cruel heinous and vile horrendously horrific Islamic evils that it so maliciously and murderously commits.
SKA says
Maybe they are just evil.
Nathaniel Winterson says
It is indeed a relief to hear about the actions taken by universities and government to deal with exploding pro-Palestinian hate against Israel.
Israel has always known that when it is forced to go to war it will have to achieve its war aims as quickly as possible, because international attention in the media and otherwise will almost certainly be negative.
Gaza is unfortunately a special case, as we were informed from the outset with Israel’s declaration that the siege might have to go on for months. They are suffering the effects of that now, and so are Jews everywhere. In Toronto anti-Zionists protested in front of a Jewish hospital – you heard me, a hospital, because it was Jewish – climbing the walls and crowding the entrances, which is a legal violation in Canada – obstructing access to a medical facility.
That there is reason for humanitarian concern in a war like Gaza is not a fiction, but the protests are obviously steamrolling and becoming insanely shrill because Hamas is now on its last legs and its supporters don’t want it to lose. They are desperate that the international community and international bodies find ways to step in and make Hamas win – which is what surviving would be for that organization.
Anyone whose concern was humanitarian would not fail to note that the entire calamity was deliberately engineered by Hamas, to which the civilians it “governs” are cannon fodder to be sacrificed for Hamas’s ends. Humanitarian concern would make Hamas the devil, not the noble freedom fighter it is taken to be by those who adore (the word doesn’t seem to strong) it.
If Israel can hold on through a siege of Rafah, if it can achieve its aims with controlled civilian casualties,
what it needs to do to safeguard its own population will have been done, and so will something good for the world.

I seem to recall a ‘famous lawyer’, who asserted ‘garbage in, garbage out’ at the occasion of the OJS murder trial. The same holds for this history major: if Harvard accepts this garbage, then its graduates must also be garbage. Pretty bleak idea, but hey, how about Ms. Gay?
Wow, that one hurts…
James Lincoln says
Looks like the poison ivy is spreading.
Parents: do not send your children to these schools!
Alumni: stop all donations!
Waldorf says
Poison ivy: that’s funny! I like that one!
James Lincoln says
Sometimes things get so serious that you have to laugh, Waldorf.
Statler says
If you ask me, the history major shouldn’t have been accepted, because his English is atrocious: ‘(…) all (…) are (…) not’: none/no one is ; ‘(…) similar (…) identical (…)’: similar is not identical; ‘Why does Afro care (…)’: so who is Afro? ‘Afro’ Is an adjective.
So what the heck is this braggart doing in Harvard? Probably about to flunk out, because otherwise he would be studying his books.
Anyway, this illiterate certainly is bad news for Harvard. Wouldn’t want to attend that school, would you now?
Enrico Fermi says
I recall sitting in an amphitheater on the Columbia college campus for a chemistry class and looking down on all those yarmulkes. How many of them would still do that today? Or better yet, how many of them still go to Columbia? This is really turning ugly.
