As usual, a wealth of intelligent wisdom from the writers at American Thinker. Opposing this is the dangerous lack of intelligent thought in both college people and this President, perhaps all since birth. TD

"Regardless of any particular details, the pandemic of Hamas-inspired campus unrest has pushed news of Trump’s hush money trial down to well below the fold. It has also put Biden’s presidency in a most uncomfortable spotlight. I seriously doubt that such was the intent of the organizers of these events.
"Various explanations are being proffered as to who is behind this and why this is happening. Some conservative commentators are pointing their fingers at the classical Marxist demand to replace traditional oppressive authority with their own. Jihadis are inclined to tout the rising tide of Islamic supremacy. College culture in its modern, snowflake-coddling sense is also a prime suspect. I just can’t fail to notice any spontaneity in all of this.
"George Soros, the archetypical James Bond villain, cannot escape consideration — but where necessary, he’s pretty good at covering his tracks. Others are also under suspicion — and all their motives are fairly similar: destabilization of the existing “order.”
"Antisemitism seems to be the ostensible motive...but is it really? Even before Hitler, there just weren’t that many Jews in the world. Yeah, they tend to revere education and knowledge and are more than willing to exploit such accomplishments for material benefits. But so what? Lots of folks have very similar ideals. What may be behind antisemitism is that Jews don’t look very different from Gentiles — hence, the Third Reich was compelled to make them wear yellow stars of David. Human decency being what it is, the king of occupied Denmark wore one as well.
"Colleges are certainly the focus of this phenomenon. Initially, the administrations took a hands-off position — which allowed things more fully to develop. They mistakenly tried to avoid bad optics...which was obviously inevitable. In my student days, things got so bad that Governor Reagan had to call in the National Guard to shut things down. The campus, however, wasn’t touched at all. We just burned down the Bank of America that was across the street. The university was our home." . . .
