Ivy League universities and college campuses have been overtaken by well-funded and well-organized supporters of US-designated radical Islamist terrorist groups Hamas, Hezbollah, and al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, to name but a few. These demonstrations began on October 8, 2023, less than 24 hours after Hamas and other Palestinian terrorists attacked and brutally massacred 1,200 naïve civilians who erroneously believed in peace with their Palestinian neighbors across the border, neighbors who also violently kidnapped 240 men, women, and children, including Americas and other foreign nationals. The terrorists videotaped and boasted about their massacres on social media. They celebrated the slaughter of the Jewish Israelis (though several Arab Muslims and Christians were also murdered).
The second stage of the radical Islamist groups, the psychological warfare propaganda campaign, was launched on October 8, when the Islamist murderers and their woke supporters twisted and denied the facts, blaming Israel for the atrocities and claiming victimhood.
In the seven months since October 7, the Biden administration and the UN have been continually hindering the IDF’s efforts to eliminate the terrorists in Gaza. Ongoing vilification of Israel is rampant, with calls to eliminate the Jewish State as well as Jews everywhere. Shouts from thousands of demonstrators are increasing in the US and elsewhere in highly organized, well coordinated, and increasingly violent demonstrations and encampments. These terror-supporting protests are occurring at many universities, in public places, and across major roads throughout the country. Yet, the US President has been largely mum until very recently.
The protesters, Arabs, Muslims, and many ‘woke’ progressive Leftists claim to be anti-‘colonialist’ Israel (which has no colonies) and pro-Palestinian. They support Hamas and Hezbollah, the proxies of Iran, which, together with Qatar and Turkey, are behind this psychological propaganda war, calling for the elimination of Israel, the Jews, and “Death to America,” which is 90% Christian.
In effect, all of these demands are in the interests of Iran and Qatar, both of which are supporting the Hamas death cult. These demands are also in the interest of China and Russia, both of whom, like the radical Muslims, also seek regional and world domination.
None of these demands are in the interest of the Arabs in Gaza, who are being manipulated and intimidated by Hamas and its ilk. The demands are also 100% contrary to American (Christian) and Israeli (Jewish) values and self-interests. In a normal world, key protesters would be arrested for supporting terrorism. Others should be arrested for creating unsafe environments for students and faculty in schools where intimidation, hate speech, and slander are rampant. We are witnessing clear incitement to commit genocide of those brave enough to oppose the Iran/Qatar/Hamas death cult.
Why have the huge numbers of trespassing students not been expelled or arrested? Where is the American patriotic public push-back? Where are the cultural counterattacks from university faculty and administration? Where are the Boards of Trustees? Where are the large donors? Where are the parents? Where are the voices of the patriotic students? Where is the media push-back? Where are the City mayors? Where are the State governors? Where is the President of the United States? Where are the supporters of the Constitution and Bill of Rights? Where is equal protection under the law? Where are the police and the Courts?
What should be done?
1) Private universities should be declared political organizations and not educational organizations, and therefore lose their tax-exempt status immediately.
3) All past and current contributions from foreign donors must be disclosed immediately, and no contributions can be accepted from cultural enemies such as Iran, Qatar, Turkey, China, and Russia.
4) If the major universities refuse to protect their students from the demonstrators, the States should call in the National Guard and arrest the students involved (particularly the ringleaders), and indict them for providing material support for terrorism.
5) The Department of Justice should make an example of one targeted university, by suing it and its Administration and Board of Trustees for violating the human rights of its students.
6) Jewish students should file individual and class-action lawsuits against the universities that fail to protect them, and against the organizers of the demonstrations and their funders.
This war against Jews and Christians must be stopped immediately, before it metastasizes further. The fingerprints of our outside enemies can be clearly seen. The cultural war by our outside and inside enemies must be won by the forces of ‘good’. It is time for us to make our final stand now!
