I have heard a good deal about universities in American and students becoming antagonistic towards Jewish students because if Gaza. I am all for people caring. I am all for saying that the people dying in Gaza are being murdered because that is what war is. I am not surprised that the students show no balance. They do not attack Arab students for supporting a murderous organisation. They do not picket the Egyptian embassy asking why they kept and keep a crossing into Sinai closed so that every woman and child was out of the war zone in the first week. They never care that Hamas hide behind civilians while shooting.
They don’t ask these questions because they accept the Arab narrative that this all began in 1948 and that Israel is a belligerent country. They know nothing about the history of the region, they have probably never read the UN resolutions 242 and 139 or the the regulations of the French and British Mandate of Palestine. They probably have never put the PLO founding constitution next to the Israel founding documents and compared the aims and objectives of the two. They don’t march for Sudan or the Muslim ethnic cleansing in China.
And because they don’t know they have been made anti-Semitic. And that is one of the greatest crimes against education in the history of America.
