The worst part is the antisemitism isn't just coming from Islam and the left. I've lately run into a very large group of right wing racists and antisemites and with one mild comment about not judging others based on immutable characteristics, they got dozens of their buddies to call me names I wouldn't repeat in complete privacy, much less on social media. I find it very disturbing the party I've voted for in every election since 1988 harbors some of the same types of scum of which the Democrats are so proud. My only consolation is at least most conservatives are as disgusted by them as I am.
I can't understand why the leaders of that movement, most of them in the country on student visas, aren't being deported. Some of the college kids are just ignorant, although it's no excuse, but I've seen video where they don't know which "river" or which "sea" they're chanting about, truly believe Israel is an apartheid state and don't know what the definition of "intifada" is. Once again, it's no excuse, especially when they're in college and supposed to be seeking knowledge whether it supports their belief system or not, but I too was once a young and dumb university student and while I wasn't this misinformed, we have to remember these kids have never been taught to think critically. They've been indoctrinated from Kindergarten. If we want our future leaders to be better, we must get the government out of the education business and start deporting these terrorism supporters we educate at our colleges while they rip the fabric of our nation apart.
Yeah, the agitators probably should be deported, but they’re the ones turning the first amendment into a suicide pact, as someone once said. But the thing is, the students supporting this are not just starting from a state of pure ignorance of the politics and history of Isreal, they’re starting from unreasoned anti-semitism, and seizing on the movement as a vehicle for it. They’ve been told for the last Decade or so that Muslims are oppressed, and that October 7th was somehow “Justified” as a reaction to this “Oppression”
Hell, I just ran across someone here saying “Why can’t we just let them have their homeland?” not knowing that it’s never been about a homeland for the Palestinians, it’s about driving the Jews out of theirs, by killing them all if possible.
Amen. I don't particularly disagree on any point. The worst part is you tell one of these young people Jews have been in their native homeland for at least 3,000 years and ask them if they also despise Pakistanis for the creation of Pakistan, which was created in an almost identical manner, around the same time, only with much more murder of the Hindus they drove out, and you get, "huh?" It's shocking the lack of education we're subsidizing with ridiculously high taxation.

And then there are all the left-wing protests "Supporting Palestine" on college campuses.

Makes one wonder if it’s deliberate. And very suspicious of the goal.
