Cancel Culture Comes for Hamas Lovers on Campus; exposing the rot in higher education that took hold long ago.

. . . Tabia Lee, a former DEI director at De Anza College in California, says diversity programs are helping drive this trend. She says that by the logic of “critical social justice,” Jews are “white oppressors” and unworthy of support. When she tried to make her campus more inclusive for Jews, she was called a “dirty Zionist” and later fired. Today the bravest, most daring, and dangerous thing a student could do is openly wear a Star of David on campus. 

How would Orwell feel about today's college campuses?

The American Spectator | USA News and Politics   "Progressives and the universities that produce them are suddenly and unexpectedly paying a price for decades of Israel hating on campus. Who knew?

"Major university donors and board members are breaking affiliation with schools that have soft-peddled Hamas terrorism. They are calling schools to account for outrageous ideas being expressed by students and faculty regarding the October 7 terror attacks in Israel. 

"Granted, anti-Israel views have been the standard for years on many campuses, so it is nothing new. But in the wake of the worst day for Jews since the Holocaust, campus antisemitism is getting a fresh look. 

"The day after Hamas slaughtered over 1,200 people in Israel, more than thirty “Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups” released a statement holding “the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.” This is the same type of virtue-signaling nonsense they might have trumpeted after any incident in that part of the world, without criticism or question.

"But this time the kids misread the room. “Blame Israel” did not quite work when Hamas operatives were busy streaming videos of killing families, throwing young women into trucks to haul back to Gaza for unspeakable abuse, or dragging the corpse of one of them through the streets behind a motorcycle.

"By October 9, bipartisan Harvard alumni members of Congress weighed in denouncing the letter. Former Harvard President and Clinton-era Treasury Secretary Larry Summers posted he had “never been as disillusioned and alienated” from Harvard, particularly due to the “silence from Harvard’s leadership.”

"And it got better. Billionaire hedge-fund manager Bill Ackman called on Harvard to release names of members of the pro-Hamas groups (probably the same students in most of them) so companies don’t “inadvertently” hire them. Other business leaders and investors chimed in also wanting the names, and on October 11 Accuracy in Media exposed the group members — “Harvard’s leading antisemites” — on a truck mounted with a digital billboard. 

"Later three pro-Hamas students from Harvard and Colombia lost job offers from the firm of Davis, Polk, and Wardwell because their actions were “a direct contravention of [the] firm’s value system” and they needed to maintain “a supporting and inclusive work environment.” The president of the NYU Student Bar Association likewise lost a job offer from Winston & Strawn. It must have been quite a surprise for these progressives to see the standard cancel culture lingo being used against them."

 

Has leftism finally jumped the shark? - Lewis Dovland   "The current pro-Palestinian rallies on American campuses (which, in reality, are an anti-Jewish hate-fests) are an eye-opener for a growing number of people on the left. The latest Israel-Palestinian protests may be the final canary in the coal mine that will begin to turn the tide and crush leftism from our society. That’s because it exposes its source for all to see—our corrupted educational system.

We’ve all seen the rapid acceleration of the ‘woke’ culture, which has dominated society and become untouchable in the past three to four years. Push back, and you get crushed—job, reputation, life.

"But cracks in leftism have started to appear. The COVID-19 pandemic happened. The all-too-smug teachers’ unions erred when they saw an opportunity to get paid for not working while harming students in their key educational and socialization growth years by shutting schools, Each K-12 year is critical for developing children into well-rounded, productive citizens (anathema to totalitarians who want obedient, unthinking proles).

"As the pandemic dragged on, schools went online. For the first time, parents got to see what little Sally was learning, and they rebelled, flooding school board meetings with demands to stop the CRT and LGBTQ+ indoctrinations." . . .

Lewis Dovland is a passionate observer of America’s future direction with a focus on exposing the “Big Picture” end goals of the progressive Marxist movement and how we can prevail.

Speaker Mike Johnson uses new platform to push Biden impeachment forward

Speaker Mike Johnson uses new platform to push Biden impeachment forward | Washington Examiner

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) used his first television interview as speaker on Thursday to inspire hope regarding the merit of the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

"We have the receipts on so much of this now," Johnson told Sean Hannity on Fox News, discussing whether Biden was involved in his family's foreign business dealings. "It’s a real problem."

"That’s the reason that we shifted into the impeachment inquiry stage on the president himself because if, in fact, all the evidence leads to where we believe it will, that’s very likely impeachable offenses," he explained. "That’s listed as a cause for impeachment in the Constitution — bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors."

Johnson noted that "it looks and smells a lot like that." . . .

. . ."House Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden's actions," he said at the time. "Taken together, these allegations paint a picture of corruption."

The inquiry is being led by the chairmen of the Oversight, Judiciary, and Ways and Means committees.

The first hearing, led by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), was held later that month. During the six-hour event, Republican witness Jonathan Turley, a George Washington University law professor, pointed to possible impeachable offenses, pointing specifically to abuse of power, which he said "is the article that is very, very common." . . .

Majority Aged 18-24 Say Hamas Massacre of Israelis Was 'Justified'

 Nolte: Majority Aged 18-24 Say Hamas Massacre of Israelis Was 'Justified' (breitbart.com)

"Does anyone have any more questions about how something like the Holocaust could happen?...

"Don’t doubt for a second that if we were as unarmed and helpless as the Israelis, BLM and Antifa would be pulling us out of our homes, executing us, and taking hostages as Jake Tapper lies to the world about a MAGA bombing at St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital."

Buy guns, America…

In the immortal words of Keanu Reeves: Lots and lots of guns.

This Harvard Caps Harris Poll was taken before the death toll increased to 1,400.

Does anyone have any more questions about how something like the Holocaust could happen?

The poll asked, “Do you think the Hamas killing of 1200 Israeli civilians [in] Israel can be justified by the grievances of Palestinians or is it not justified?” And…

A slim majority of those aged 18-24 said it was “justified.” Only 49 percent said the massacre was “not justified.”

The news is not much better among those aged 25-34. Only a slim majority of 52 percent said the massacre of innocent civilians was unjustified, while 48 percent said it was.

Ages 35 to 44 — 39 percent said justified, while 61 percent said not justified.

Ages 45 to 54 — 23 percent said justified, while 77 percent said not justified.

Ages 55-64 — 11 percent said justified, while 89 percent said not justified.

Age 65 and up — nine percent said justified, while 91 percent said not justified.

In other words… A shocking 51 percent of young people saw what Hamas did — the savages did live-stream it, after all — and living among us in what is supposed to be an enlightened age are millions and millions of young people who believe it is justified to commit mass murder, rape, and corpse desecration against innocent civilians.

What irony! The deranged defence of Hamas on campuses across the West is fuelling a counter-revolution that could finally loosen the stranglehold of wokeism | Daily Mail Online Niall Ferguson

"Has wokeism jumped the shark? In other words, have the radical Leftists who for years have exercised increasing power in our universities finally gone too far?

I dare to hope so. The recent disgraceful responses to the attacks on Israel that we have seen — from American university campuses to the streets of London and Sydney — have dramatically increased awareness that something is rotten in the state of higher education in the English-speaking world.

Some of us have been battling against the ideological takeover of academia for close to a decade. Each year, we have been getting better organised. But we have struggled to convince people in the real world just how bad things are." . . .

Trump accuses American universities of enabling antisemitism amid pro-Palestine demonstrations

 Just The News

Earlier this week, college students from around the country held rallies in support of Palestine following the Hamas attack against Israel last weekend. 

"Former President Donald Trump on Saturday accused colleges in the U.S. of enabling antisemitism as pro-Palestine demonstrations sweep across the nation.

" 'What happened in Israel was barbaric!" Trump wrote on TRUTH Social. "Now American Universities are allowing or enabling the open hatred against Israel and America! Instead of educating our young Americans, Deans stand idly by while subversive groups are calling for a National Day of Resistance."

"Earlier this week, college students from around the country held rallies in support of Palestine following the Hamas attack against Israel last weekend. 

"The National Students for Justice in Palestine called for students to mobilize for a National Day of Resistance, according to ABC 7.

" 'Not only is this antisemitic, it is also anti-American," Trump's post continued. "Students have begged Deans to throw these subversive groups off campus. We banned Nazis, banned Communists, it is about time that we remove these antisemites from our schools or is the Cancel Culture only used against Conservatives?"

"Some of the colleges that took place in these pro-Palestine protests include the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Massachusetts Amherst and Columbia University. 

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared war last week following an unprecedented attack by Hamas." . . . 

Joe's world is a bit rocky right now

Joe Biden has blown up the world - Patricia McCarthy

. . ."As students in formerly elite universities across the country are marching for Hamas, the terrorists who raped, burned, and cut up fourteen hundred Jewish citizens of Israel, Americans are being shocked into the reality of what has become of higher education in America.  They are teaching hatred of this nation, of Jews, and have lost any semblance of a moral core.  These thousands of students have become good little Maoists, who would turn on their own parents if they opposed the government narrative they themselves have swallowed hook, line, and sinker.". . .

"Biden is an angry man, a stupid man, an arrogant man, and a little man.  He was never a good senator.  He is a racist; he relished humiliating Clarence Thomas during his confirmation hearing.  He constantly makes up things that he’s done or accomplished when those claims are easily checked.  He lies repeatedly about how and where his son Beau died.  He has tried for years to make us believe he is good, smart, and legitimate, but he is none of those things.  He has brought the United States to a historic low — the brink of another world war.  He’s blown up the world.

The Nation Owes Matt Gaetz A Hearty Thank You, especially from the squish Republicans.

  Issues & Insights

Whatever one might think of his ethics and demeanor, the actions of the allegedly slimy Gaetz have been fully vindicated. In place of the spineless, soulless, uniparty-associated, donor-class-beholden McCarthy, the chair of Washington’s third-ranking official is now occupied by a movement and, yes, MAGA conservative who on issue after issue, stands tall and unbending on his principles.

"The best (if unintended) endorsement for the most lopsided deal since the Yankees acquired Babe Ruth for a paltry $125,000 came not from a pundit nor a party colleague, but from the opposition (albeit punctuated by a partisan). Per the Wall Street Journal:

Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., said … Republicans were choosing a person [Louisiana Rep. Mike Johnson for Speaker] who ‘can pass their extreme litmus test to oppose marriage equality, enact a nationwide abortion ban without exceptions, gut Social Security and Medicare, support overturning a free and fair election.’

Aguilar said Johnson had been called ‘the most important architect of the electoral college objections,” and a Republican member shouted “d@#n right.‘

"Those among the estimated 335,633,214 Americans (at this writing) who are sufficiently sentient should all be signing a coast-to-coast-sized thank-you card for reviled Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz.

"Gaetz has been hammered for three solid weeks as the “most-hated” GOP member in Congress, who plunged the House into “chaos,” for engineering the coup that cast aside limp-wristed Speaker Kevin “Fredo Corleone” McCarthy.

"You’ll recall this commentator fingered McCarthy back in January for “project(ing) hesitancy, moderation, and self-focus when intense, inspirational passion for the conservative cause is the order of the day.” And more recently for “betray(ing) the conservative wing that allowed him to take power by depending on squish Republicans and a unanimous vote of his opposition to pass a 45-day clean continuing resolution keeping federal funding at its outrageously bloated fiscal 2023 levels.” . . .

Biden's Impossible Demand -

 

CarolineGlick.com  "In nearly every statement and speech U.S. President Joe Biden gave during his brief sojourn in Tel Aviv, he insisted that Hamas does not represent the Palestinians and that the Palestinian Authority is their true representative. The P.A., the president insisted, does not share Hamas’s goal of eradicating the Jewish state and the Jewish people. Biden foresees a future where the P.A. is in charge of the Gaza Strip, and Israel agrees to a Palestinian state in Gaza, as well as in Judea and Samaria.

"On Friday morning, the P.A. provided guidance to its mosque preachers ahead of its weekly services. They were told to declare war on Israel and join the jihad whose goal is the annihilation of the Jewish state and people.

"As HaKol HaYehudi news service and Regavim’s research department revealed in a joint release, the P.A.’s guidance read: “We call upon our Palestinian people: The preservation of public and personal property is a religious and moral national duty … our Palestinian people … cannot raise a white flag until the occupation [aka Israel] is removed and the independent Palestinian state is established with Jerusalem as its capital.”

"The guidance continued with the passage from the Islamic hadith that calls for genocide of the Jewish people.

“The time will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims kill them, until the Jew hides behind the stones and the trees and the stones or the trees say, ‘O Muslim, O Servant of God, this is a Jew behind me. Come and kill him.” . . .

As Biden turns against Israel, Netanyahu must stand strong - Caroline Glick  . . ."If Netanyahu stands up to the United States, he may face a renewal of the violent protests against him and his government. If it happens, the goal of the operatives organizing the protests will be to undermine morale in a time of war. Judging by media coverage to date, the rioters will be supported by nearly every media organ in the country.

"On the other hand, if he stands up to Biden, Netanyahu will give the soldiers and commanders of the IDF the opportunity to fight this war to victory and secure Israel for the next many years.

"If Netanyahu fails to stand up to the United States, if he buckles, the pressure from Washington won’t stop. By buckling, he will merely whet the appetites of the likes of U.S. envoy to the Palestinians Hady Amr—who has a public record of supporting Hamas (and worked in Doha, Qatar during the Trump years). Amr and his colleagues will pocket Israel’s first concession and demand more, and more, and more, in coordination with Hamas, the PLO, Qatar and Egypt." . . .

"Following the war, Netanyahu will be pushed out of office, his legacy in tatters forever. The Israel he will leave behind will be one where Jewish sovereignty will be placed in doubt for the first time in 75 years. Now is no time to go wobbly.

The dysfunctional party of incompetence carries the doom of America

House Overwhelmingly Passed Resolution in Support of Israel, With These Glaring 'No' Votes (townhall.com)

. . ."When it comes to a call to end the violence, the resolution correctly refers to Hamas as the responsible party, as it "calls on Hamas to immediately cease these violent attacks and safely release all living hostages and return the bodies of deceased hostages."

"All but one of the votes in opposition came from Democrats, including members of the Squad like Reps. Rashida Tlaib (MI), Ilhan Omar (MN), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY), Cori Bush (MO), Jamaal Bowman (NY), and Summer Lee (PA). Others included fellow progressive Reps. Andre Carson (IN), Al Green (TX), and Delia Ramirez (IL).

"Of those members who explained why they voted the way they did, many felt it didn't do enough to satisfy their "both sides" argument, even equating Israel and Hamas As has been the case for much of this conflict, Tlaib's take has stood out as the most glaring." . . . 

 Democrats Are Showing You Who They Are, Believe Them (townhall.com)

I had to check the calendar to make sure it wasn’t 1938; then, I had to check the books I owned to make sure they weren’t actually written in German. Once I confirmed it is 2023 and I live in the United States of America, I was left only to shake my head in disgust at what Democrats have exposed themselves to be.

Make no mistake, I never really thought they were great people. The party of slavery, Jim Crow, and segregation isn’t suddenly going to pull a 180 and not be monsters; it’s who they are. They’ve never changed their objectives, only their tactics. Now, their embrace of segregation is done in the name of tolerance, of providing a “safe space” to minorities. But make no mistake, the end result is the same.

That’s the thing about the left – they’ll happily tell you who they are and the horrible things they hold dear; all you have to do is believe them. 

The terrorist attack in Israel two weeks ago brought out the worst in the left, but it’s also their true self. You can’t cheer for the wholesale murder of innocent people and “really be a good person, deep down.” No, that’s not how it works. It’s the opposite – they are raging bigots and monsters who manage to tamp it down below the surface most of the time until there’s something to protest or celebrate. It’s really that simple. 

I’m not Jewish, and I’m disgusted. I can only imagine the sense of betrayal and horror Jews feel, as friends, neighbors, and colleagues felt so compelled to defend the murderers of Jews, for the express reason that they were Jewish, 24 hours after the attack. The Democratic Socialists of America, who count Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jamaal Bowman, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Cori Bush, and pretty must every other Nazi scum “progressive” among their ranks and supporter, marched in support of Hamas in New York City, the next day, before there was anywhere near an accurate body count, let alone an understanding of the scale of the evil. They didn’t march against Israel; they marched in favor of Hamas, literally celebrating the paragliders in the posters promoting it." . . .

Diversity Means Divide and Conquer

Obviously, America must dump divide-and-conquer diversity and return to the pursuit of excellence – especially of individual moral character – as well as to President Kennedy’s call to service. Those are truly benign anchors of a good and healthy country. 

  American Greatness (amgreatness.com)    "By now, everyone should have noticed how ubiquitous the word “diversity” is, often alongside partner terms such as “equity“ and “inclusion,“ making the acronym “DEI.”

"Though “diversity” sounds benign and technically only means varied, different or differentiated, its modern usage appears to mean more. How much more may be the difference between something benign and something malignant.

"Given these polar opposites, scrutiny of the term is in order.

"The ubiquity of the word is itself suspicious. Upon reflection, incessant talk and advocacy of diversity is odd, since real diversity exists without any of that. Novice gardeners, for example, can barely count the varieties of tomatoes or the different kinds of trees. Humankind itself consists of billions of individuals, no one of whom is like the other.

"So the world has diversity without anyone even trying. Advocating diversity, or hiring diversity officials, therefore, is a little like lobbying for gravity. Huh? Gravity pulls everything to the ground on its own.  No lobby required.

"Worse, if diversity already exists but officials are hired to promote it, they will of course begin promoting something else just to have something to do.

"Add to this that a lot of diversity talk is dishonest. America has heard for years that “diversity is our strength” and in 1978 the United States Supreme Court began suggesting that “diversity” was a constitutional value on par with the presumption of innocence, due process or free expression.

"But the word “diversity” appears neither in the United States Constitution nor in the Declaration of Independence, America’s foundational documents." . . .

"Over the weekend, Hamas cheerleader NBC News reported that President Biden’s full-throated support for Israel after the October 7 terrorist attacks has put him at odds with Arab and Muslim voters in Michigan who are none too happy that the guy they voted for in 2020 is siding with America’s ally rather than the Iranian-backed terrorists who slaughtered its people.

Here Michigan Muslims helped elect Joe Biden, and he turns around and betrays them by condemning the side that butchered whole families, including children and the elderly, set them on fire, and chopped off their body parts." . . .

. . ."What made my jaw hit the floor, however, was the message accompanying the image:

As Americans, we must come together and reject Islamophobia and all forms of bigotry and hatred.
