Universities are hotbeds for terrorist-sympathizing antisemitism

Higher education is the area of life most consumed by progressive left-wing ideology. It is also, apparently, the biggest hotbed of antisemitism in the United States.
Harvard University, with the pristine reputation in higher education that it no longer deserves, was the first out of the gate. A total of 36 student groups signed a letter claiming that they “hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence” after Palestinian terrorists massacred over 700 people, an assault that included raping women and slaughtering children and the elderly.

Not to be outdone, students at Columbia University said you can’t view Hamas terrorists raping women and executing children “in isolation,” defending the slaughter, and calling the Israelis, not the bloodthirsty antisemitic terrorists, “extremist.” The Students for Justice in Palestine at Northwestern University essentially said the massacre was self-defense, claiming that “the oppressed rise in response to such oppression.”
All three universities, and others like them, consider themselves to be indispensable in shaping the future leaders of the country. Harvard, in particular, has the pretentious reputation of being the place to go if you want to shape the future of the country in politics. All three contain a number of students who not only are pro-terrorist and pro-Hamas massacring Jewish civilians but will proudly put out statements to publicize that fact.

There is not another area of life where antisemitism is more acceptable, and indeed even more praised, than on college campuses. Marc Lamont Hill was fired from CNN for supporting the pro-genocide mantra of a “free Palestine from the river to the sea,” a sampling of which played out over the weekend. Despite that, he remained on the faculty at Temple University and is now at CUNY in New York City. George Washington University defended an antisemitic professor singling out Jewish students and even disciplined the students for daring to complain about it.
Antisemitism is normalized and institutionally defended at universities across the country. Harvard and others are not shaping future leaders. They are fostering an environment for antisemitic hatred to grow and spread from faculty to impressionable students who then go out and claim that massacring Jewish civilians is self-defense. Higher education isn’t solving this problem. It is making it much worse.
