God bless Bari Weiss and all the members of the free press for publishing these deeply depressing stories. This is so important. Christians need to stand up in support of our Jewish brothers and sisters. I stand with Israel.
I don't know what to say about all these people cheering the slaughter of Jews. I've never thought I would live to see this. I'm ashamed of being human.
1) We’ve been too lax on immigration (lots of people that don’t share our values)
2) We’ve let the prisoners run the asylum. The college students that are supposed to be learning are doing the teaching and the teachers the listening.
That’s the sad truth.
The great country of America was built on Judeo-Christian values; the very values that we are now being chastised for supporting.
It’s almost like I no longer recognize the country I was born and raised in.
When I was a child in school, we were taught that the Holocaust was the most unimaginable atrocity ever committed. I can't comprehend a world where schools now ignore or worse cheer on terrorists. Hamas is very clear that what it wants is a second Holocaust, the utter destruction of all Jews.
But this is not where United States stands as a Nation. We stand with Israel. No propaganda from media organizations or universities can hide the evil and gleeful barbarism we saw with our own eyes. The latest FOX polling showed support for Israel near 70%. It should be higher, but I feared it would be lower.
Hamas senior official Ali Baraka quoted in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal: “We made them think that Hamas was busy with governing Gaza, and that it wanted to focus on the 2.5 million Palestinians there, and has abandoned the resistance altogether. All the while, under the table, Hamas was preparing for this big attack.”
Stop seeking Ivy League education. Hillsdale and the Cardinal Newman schools offer a classical education. Give up the prestige and instead acquire wisdom, courage, moderation and justice in a civilized setting. You'll achieve both personal and professional success.
I remember when I was a little girl and I went with my parents to a candy store in Beverly Hills the women there would always give me a piece of candy. The thing was they had numbers tattooed on their wrists. Even at 7 or 8 years old I knew what that meant.
Fast forward some 65+ years and I was blissfully unaware that this sentiment was still alive and kicking, just wearing a different costume. I’m gripped with fear and sadness.
My dad didn’t talk about the war much, but my brothers and I instinctively knew why. When he visited Germany when he was in his 60s he refused to visit the Nuremberg Gate. I don’t think he had a very good time there. The point is, my brothers and I grew up acutely aware of the Holocaust and what it meant. So to see young American college students behaving this way and urged on by their professors it breaks my heart. For us the Holocaust happened just a few years ago. Our dads went and fought a war to stop the people responsible.
When the various civil wars broke out in the Middle East during the 70s we were protesting the Viet Nam war and weren’t exactly cognizant of what was happening there. The flame had been lit but we didn’t even look to see it.
The fighting in the Middle East got worse and worse. We were raising our families and trying to get ahead in our careers. Again, the flame was lit but getting larger.
Finally the shit hit the fan. There were hostages. There were bombings. There were hijackings of planes full of Israelis. An old Jewish man was pushed off a cruise ship. This caught our attention, but not enough.
Time went by. We were attacked in our biggest city and the home of our military. Some brave people crashed their plane in order to save even more lives. Then we woke up. Sort of.
We slept through the alarm. And while maybe we should have seen this coming, many of us has not a clue that our grandchildren were completely ignorant of a brutal past against people for who they were, we never would have seen this coming. Our own grandchildren raising protests on their college campuses calling for the extinction of a culture that formed the bedrock of our society. The people who suffered 40 years in the desert in order to not be slaves. I simply cannot understand this. I truly fear the coming months that will in a large part determine the future of an ancient and beautiful culture. And our own grandchildren will take a side. We have to get to them now and show them the grave error they are posed to make.
What more can I say? I'm I'm truly horrified. As a retired, elderly historian, I can hardly believe what I am seeing around me on college campuses. I am NOT Jewish, but I have always loved and admired the brilliance of so many Jewish people and I've read dozens of books about their suffering. What i've seen on campuses these days makes me grateful to have taught history on a second rate campus with first generations of college students and I have always 'seen through' the adulation of the so-called great universities. Things in this country are at a tipping point. This kind of behavior HAS to stop. College leaders--presidents and administrators, profs. who are not part of the hatred groups need to organize and speak out against this behavior. Otherwise, silence is murder.
What kind of sickness cheers the killing of babies? These are the same people who watched and ridiculed Jews as they were gathered up and loaded on trains for the slaughter. As much as it disgusts me to watch and read about this unhinged hatred, I'm glad sites like the Free Press are covering it. The only way to make Jew hatred "uncool" is to keep exposing it to the light of day.
Looking back to my college days, I never got involved with the kids that protested whatever caused them unrest. Basically I thought they were all a bunch of nuts and was too busy hurrying from one class to another. I was raised by two wonderful parents who instilled great love of country and God. We were a military family living four years in a little military base in north eastern Japan and several assignments throughout the US. Dad was a fighter pilot in the Vietnam war…..he had great disdain for the likes of Hollywood and all those protesting the war. He was very well read and not afraid to speak his mind to us kids and our children. I can’t imagine Dad and Mom being alive today witnessing what is happening across America….a land he loved and risked his life to defend.

Babylon Bee is no longer satire. Recent headline:
“Harvard Student Leaves Lecture On Microaggressions To Attend ‘Kill The Jews’ Rally”
No one my age stands with Israel. It's not popular or cool.
I do though.
This is because
1) We’ve been too lax on immigration (lots of people that don’t share our values)
2) We’ve let the prisoners run the asylum. The college students that are supposed to be learning are doing the teaching and the teachers the listening.
That’s the sad truth.

There are simply no words.

Higher education has a rotten core - who’d have guessed?!
If we could get anti-Semitic genocide classified as a microaggression, perhaps it would be greater cause for concern in progressive circles?

‘Never Again’ rings hollow in the modern world. Never in a million years did I ever think I would witness this
Interesting to note that from the pictures most if not all of the pro Palestine students are wearing masks. Why don't they show their faces?
