"The left really, really hates Israel"

FOLLOW THE MONEY…and you’ll find the reason for the virulent anti-Semitism and anti-Israel hatred on college campuses (barenakedislam.com)

U.S. colleges and universities are swimming in pro-Hamas and anti-Israel money, to the tune of $5 BILLION over the past few years.

"Critics call it a direct result of the Boycott, Divestments, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel. 
"The group reportedly works closely with the Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), which, according to the Washington Free Beacon, has received $650,000 since 2017 from the George Soros Open Society Foundations.
"Also, Soros has reportedly given California’s Tides Foundation at least $ 3.5 million to support student protests agaisnt Israel similar to a recent demonstration at San Francisco’s Balboa High School. “…giving instructions to high school students — what to chant and what to yell during the demonstration,” Ehrenfeld insisted.

There are rules, of course, but they are fluid (and you know how leftists love that fluidity). For people opposed to Harvard, the rules flex constantly to keep them in a one-down position. And for Harvard and its “allies”—another word leftists love—the rules’ fluidity operates in a way that always benefits them.  

"For those of us neither within Harvard nor trying to curry favor with the institution, Harvard doesn’t look powerful. Instead, it looks ridiculous: Hypocritical, hate-filled, narcissistic, and the antithesis of the knowledge it purports to impart.

"I’ll leave you with a very good video from Ben Shapiro, in which he discusses what universities were meant to be and how they devolved into leftist institutions that issue credentials to those who have accepted the statist mindset that governs them. He notes that they are in exactly the same position today as the universities were for the Nazis in the 1930s. I’ll add that the similarity extends right down to the genocidal antisemitism.

"The whole discussion about what’s happening in academia is good, but the history lesson starts at 17:30 or so if you want to skip ahead."
