"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.

To the presidents of @Columbia, @nyuniversity, @Harvard and other universities who have stood SILENT as terror supporters have marched through campus and celebrated raping women, executing children and kidnapping grandmothers, you are cowards.

Andrea Widberg - American Thinker   . . ."Second, the Harvard tyranny, like all tyrannies, doesn’t hold itself to any standards other than those that serve its immediate interests. 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."

Harvard cancels congressman who mocked Harvard’s speech hypocrisy

 

Andrea Widburg - American Thinker   "Harvard was once a reputable institution. Now, though, it’s a joke, and, moving forward, any parent who pays for it or young person who goes into debt for it has inadvertently taken an IQ test and proved to be only in the double digits. The latest example of Harvard’s fall, not just from grace but from decency, is the fact that two days after its president, Claudine Gay, insisted that its devotion to free speech was so absolute that even genocidal rhetoric deserved its day, Harvard canceled a Democrat congressman who had spoken slightingly of Gay’s remarks.

"I’m sure you’re familiar by now with what Gay said. However, if you were without internet for the past week, she, along with the presidents of UPenn and MIT, stated that her institution would never simply ban offensive speech. Instead, “context” was everything. In the case of speech calling for genocide, context demanded that it become action (as in actual genocide) before Harvard would even think about shutting it down.

"For her brave stand, Gay earned the approval of both the Harvard faculty and board. Hundreds of the former signed a statement supporting her, and the latter just voted to keep her in her place." . . . 

Rep. Jayapal Should Not Be Reelected

I call on the Democratic Party in Washington’s 7th Congressional District to hold Rep. Jayapal’s feet to the fire on Aug. 6, 2024, the next primary election, and vote her out.

 Phyllis Chesler Organization   "Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), the Progressive Caucus chair, should not be reelected to Congress. She is both heartless as well as out of touch with reality, morality, and evidence-based truth. 

"Like the members of the infamous Squad, the smooth-talking and rather arrogant Jayapal continues to demand a meaningless “ceasefire” in Gaza, speaks passionately about the “displaced” Gazan civilians, but does not say a word about the displaced Israelis who had to be moved away both from the northern and southern borders and who remain in limbo.

"She demands evenhandedness when she herself is hardly capable of it.

"Jayapal and her congressional comrades are in complete denial about what Hamas, trained and funded by Iran, did on Oct. 7 in southern Israel. And blind to what Iran has in mind for America.

"In a recent interview on CNN with Dana Bash, Jayapal refused to focus on what Hamas did to Israeli civilians on Oct. 7. She denied that “progressive” women failed to respond to the mass gang rapes and torture of Israeli girls and women.

“I don’t know that (they did so),” she claimed disingenuously before instantly pivoting to her tired talking points accusing Israel of committing “international humanitarian crimes.” 

"To her credit, Dana Bash pushed back. “With respect, I was just asking about the women, and you turned it back to Israel. I’m asking you about Hamas.”

"Jayapal claimed that she’d answered the question, insisting, “We have to be balanced about bringing in the outrages against Palestinians.”

"Hamas’ terrorist fiends murdered more than 1,200 civilians and engaged in a pogrom on steroids, one which they excitedly filmed. Hamas kept careful, Nazi-like records of their atrocities, which included gang rapes so violent that the women’s pelvises were broken, after which they mutilated their broken bodies. After raping these women, they shot them in their vaginal areas, and breasts; they also shot or blew up their faces. Clearly, they wanted to wipe out both their womanhood and their humanity." . . . 

Biden Throws Israel Under the Bus in a Big Way - Says Israel Has to Change Its Approach, Government –

"What was it that Obama Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said about Joe Biden? 

"That he's been wrong about foreign policy for 40 years? Well, all we have to do is amend that to 50 years, as, unfortunately, he's still predictably wrong on everything.

But what about Joe saying he was a Zionist? But then he also said he was a Puerto Rican, Irish, Greek, and, well...who knows what else? A this critical time when Israel has so many enemies, that nation needs all the true friends it can get and cannot abide make-believe imposters. TD

Dem Pols Hate Jews As Much As They Hate Those Who Look Like Me

  Conservative Firing Line

 Schumer and company are the equivalent of George Soros without billions of dollars; they backstab and betray the people for personal gain at every opportunity, and that specifically includes the Jews, just as was/is the case with Soros.

"It is one thing to take military action in defense of one’s country when it is invaded or threatened with invasion or acts of repeated injurious and murderous violations of sovereignty. In such instances, when the aggrieved country is presented with no other option apart from military response, with the pronounced intention of subduing the invasive and/or invading threat, attack is understandable. But, even in that scenario, albeit war is not intended to be pleasant, there are acceptable rules of executing the war with the declared conclusion still being total and decisive conquest of the alien threat.

"However, the unprovoked murderous slaughter of innocent people is Erebusic barbarism and is unacceptable under any circumstances. That’s terrorism by definition, and there is no justifiable reason that allows for the rationalization of same. Even worse, it’s an unprovoked terrorism, and that must be met with overwhelming response that makes clear such unprovoked barbarism won’t be tolerated.

"Only those as demonic as the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorists themselves can disapprove of a defensive military response to the provocation – which brings me to the self-unveiling of the Democratic Party and their Marxian supporters who champion the satanic propagation of hatred, division politics and the dehumanizing of so-called black people, women and Jews." . . .  Related:

DeSantis Dishes on Moment Team Newsom Pulled Plug on Debate

  PJ Media

"During an interview on "The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show," Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) delightfully dished out the details of how Gov. Gavin Newsom’s wife pulled the plug on their debate after both sides had agreed to continue the debate beyond its allotted time.

“ 'I guess we had already gone over the allotted ninety minutes, but it was fun and that was pretty shortly after I get the San Francisco poop map and showed that at everybody, and so that obviously was not a good moment for him, and so then we go to commercial break and then there was a woman that came out and she said, ‘hard stop, hard stop, it’s over, it’s over,’” DeSantis explained. “I didn’t necessarily know who it was at the time, but then come to find out that it was his wife, that they didn’t want to continue with the debate. So, I was one hundred percent willing to continue with the debate, they didn’t want to do it."

"DeSantis also suggested that the debate may have taken the shine off of Newsom’s rising star in the Democratic Party.

“ 'They’re likely not going to run Biden if it doesn’t look good for Biden, Newsom was kind of the guy waiting in the wings,” DeSantis continued. “I’m not sure after the debate that that’s someone that there they may want to go with, but they’re gonna go with somebody that’s gonna be younger and we just gotta be prepared for that, as Republicans. I’ve always said that the problem with the Democrats is whoever runs… Newsom had to hug Biden.”

Michelle and Barack Obama’s latest movie warns not to trust white people

 Andrea Widburg - American Thinker

Barack & Michelle Obama just produced their first fiction film on Netflix called: "Leave The World Behind"
The plot is about a cyberattack that shuts down all the power & cripples the United States. (Predictive programming?)

. . ."It’s entirely possible that the point of the movie, with the black couple and the white couple forced to depend on each other, is going to prove the opposite…namely, that you can trust white people. However, only an idiot would include in the movie a line like that, which can, and will, be taken out of context. (And no, I have no idea what the context is; I just know the line is horribly racist on its face.)

Moreover, when I check out the Wikipedia description of the book on which the movie is based, I actually can’t figure out a darn thing about the plot. Apparently, within a single 36-hour period, deer and flamingos go crazy, white people are racist (including anti-Hispanic racism), and people instantly fall ill from devastating diseases. The plot even includes a swipe at George W. Bush after 9/11, for it has the president hiding in a bunker. Of course, today, we have a president who hides in basements and beach houses.

The whole thing sounds awful, offensive, and entirely typical for a man and his wife who, once one strips away the expensive glamour, have always been nothing more than Marxist race hustlers.

President Biden just pledged to shut down 60% of America’s electric power

 President Biden just pledged to shut down 60% of America's electric power (nypost.com)   "The Biden administration made two virtue-signaling proclamations at last week’s COP28 conference in Dubai that it says will help save the planet from climate change.

"The policies aren’t likely to change the planet’s temperature by even one-tenth of a degree, but they might just destroy the 21st-century American industrial economy as we know it.

"First, Team Biden announced it will stop production of all new coal plants in the United States.

"This comes on the heels of President Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency saying this year it would impose new power plant emission regulations that are virtually impossible for coal plants to comply with.

"The bottom line: No more coal. Period.

"But the White House was just getting started.

"Vice President Kamala Harris trumpeted the next day new rules to “sharply reduce methane from the oil and natural gas industry.”

"The administration calls methane a “super-pollutant” that it wants to eliminate because it’s “many times more potent than carbon dioxide.”

"But methane is effectively a hydrocarbon that comes from natural gas." . . .

I was shouted down in Oakland for condemning Hamas. The councilmembers did nothing to stop it

 The Forward

City leaders utterly failed to condemn rampant disinformation and antisemitic rhetoric

"After being shouted down in Oakland City Hall, I headed back to my seat. The next speaker scowled at me, called me a b—h, and stepped up to the podium.

"She then firmly proclaimed that it was Israel, not Hamas, who carried out the atrocities in southern Israel.

"On Monday night, I headed to the Oakland City Council meeting to deliver a one-minute public comment asking for an amendment to a resolution calling for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. Along with other members of our Jewish community, I urged the councilmembers to include a condemnation of Hamas alongside their call for a cease-fire.

"The start to the afternoon set the stage for an evening that grew increasingly polarized, vitriolic and seething with hatred. I suspected this would be an uphill battle, but little did I know that I would be in for a night of hateful conspiracy theories and antisemitism run amok." . . .

White House Refuses to Invite Released Israeli Hostages to Hannukah Celebration -

  The Politics Brief   "CNN on Monday night delivered an eyebrow-raising report about freed Israeli hostages that were held by the terrorist group Hamas not getting an invitation to a White House Hannukah celebration, despite requests reported to have been made to the Biden administration.

“This is a Hanukkah reception that the White House is hosting tonight to celebrate the fifth night of Hanukkah hosted by the President and the First Lady,” CNN reported.

“And what one of the family members of the families that have their family members that are missing in Gaza still believed to have been abducted by Hamas. On October 7th, they told me that they had reached out to the White House because several of the families were in town this week, had asked for an invitation to this event, but that they ultimately did not get invited.”

“The White House did not respond to a request for comment,” CNN added.“Look, these are family members that are desperately trying to bring attention to the fact that there are still eight dual American citizens that are still missing, that are still unaccounted for, obviously, the formal negotiations to get more hostages out,” the report went on. “We saw those breakdown earlier this month. So there are a lot of questions right now, and these families are very desperate for any kind of news, any kind of movement that they’re seeing from the White House as well as the Israeli government on how their family members are going to get out.”

USEFUL IDIOTS! Popular Liberal TV host, Bill Maher, blasts students at Ivy League colleges for aligning themselves with ‘Team Hamas’

 Barenakedislam    

Bill Maher, host of Real Time, blasted universities such as the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard for siding with Hamas and playing host to students he characterized as “useful idiots.”

"The Blaze Maher listed off a series of slogans heard during pro-Palestinian rallies on school campuses, including “intifada,” which the host described as a vague term analogous to “jihad.” However, he went on to mention the use of the phrase, “From the river to the sea,” which he suggested was “a little more genocide-y.”

“What irks me is that look, I’m always going to be on the side ‘as far as you can push free speech,'” Maher said. “What bothers me is the double standard… Say they don’t want to say ‘Kill the Jews,’ but I certainly have heard chanted ‘F**k the Jews, f**k the Jews.’” “I cannot think of any other group (Muslims, homosexuals, etc)  that you can say ‘f**k the blank’ and have it be acceptable,” Maher added."

That cringeworthy SNL skit

SNL Alum Dropped Out of Awful Antisemitism Sketch Minutes Before Airtime, Was 'Uncomfortable' – RedState    "Saturday Night Live reached a new low with their cold opening over the weekend, where they ruthlessly mocked Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) for questioning three university presidents during Dec. 5 congressional hearings about antisemitic activity on their campuses. Instead of lampooning the university presidents, who disturbingly claimed that the calls for genocide by their students and professors needed to be taken "in context," they portrayed Stefanik, who asked some very important questions, as a raving lunatic with anti-Jewish feelings.

"Turns out one of their own alum -- eleven-year SNL veteran Cecily Strong -- wasn't down with the antisemitic skit either and backed out "last minute" -- just before the show was due to go live. She was "uncomfortable" with the skit, according to a backstage account.

"Newcomer Chloe Troast was thrust into the limelight, and while I understand that it's a tough job being assigned a part right before airtime, she was still spectacularly bad and unfunny.

"They couldn't even get the university presidents' names right:

This is the most embarrassing SNL skit I have EVER seen!

In a postmodern world, people think they get to choose their truth, and then rewrite everything in order to fit their narrative.

So SNL had a moral choice:
