Students Are Used for the Marxist Revolution on College Campuses

Last week, demonstrations broke out on elite college campuses nationwide, from California to Massachusetts. The demonstrations quickly morphed from simply opposing the war in the Middle East between Israel and Hamas to a spectacle of blatant antisemitism.  

Jewish students at Columbia University in New York City said they no longer felt safe there as some were chased off campus and others were hit with sticks outside of the school library. Still others were subjected to racial slurs and insults like “inbred” and were told to “go back to Poland.”

A crazed transgender student at Columbia named Khymani James, one of the leaders of the anti-Israel Gaza Solidarity encampment on the campus grounds, posted a reprehensible video to social media that recently resurfaced.  In his overly affected tone of voice, he ranted, “Be glad – be grateful – that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists.” Are we supposed to thank Khymani for not killing Jewish people?

At Yale, a Chassidic Jewish student was blocked from entering the campus grounds by a human chain of pro-Palestinian protestors. This Jewish student was singled out based on his traditional attire and physical appearance.  At Harvard, the anti-Israel protesters yanked down the stars and stripes and replaced it with the Palestinian flag.

In response to these vile protests, Columbia canceled in-person learning for the remainder of the semester, and USC has now canceled its graduation ceremony. These reactive measures were seen as a sort of capitulation to the pro-Palestinian terrorists who had broken school codes of conduct and internal policy with seemingly no consequence. Only after a public outcry and the withdrawal of financial support from some wealthy donors did these weak-kneed cowards, otherwise known as university administrators, agree to arrest and detain the people responsible for these despicable protests. Thank goodness Khymani James was finally banned from Columbia, but all of this now seems to be a day late and a dollar short.

It is too late because overnight, the revolutionaries at Columbia broke windows and barricaded themselves inside Hamilton Hall after smashing windows and flying the Palestinian Flag. They shouted, “Let’s finish what they did in 1968,” referring to past student protests in that same building against the Vietnam War.  

Many are shaking their heads and wondering – how did this happen? We have received a constant barrage from the elite left about ‘Hate Having No Home Here’ and heard the drumbeat of D.E.I. (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) nonstop for the past six years.  There was none of this ideology present during the violent protests that targeted Jewish students and supporters of Israel.

One never sees this kind of antisemitism coming out of conservative universities like Hillsdale, Liberty University, or the Franciscan University of Steubenville. But we were told over and over again that Christians are racists, bigots, and haters. Now, the mask has slipped, and it is evident that the real villains all along have been the radical neo-Marxists who are beginning to eat their own. However, no one could have predicted that they would turn on our Jewish brothers and sisters in such a threatening and repugnant way.

The question remains: who are these protesters, and why are they going along with such anti-Semitic rhetoric? It appears that some are paid agitators. None other than George Soros has been financially linked to Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR), who have been in attendance at the protests. This is not hard to believe as Soros, who is a Jew himself and self-hater, admitted to helping the Nazis in a 1998 interview where he also openly admitted that he is not religious or believes in God. Some other protestors may be Palestinian nationals who have snuck across our southern border. Heaven knows, the Biden administration has not secured the border or adequately vetted the masses pouring over it daily.

Many of the college professors from these campuses have also joined in. An estimated 67% of faculty on these elite campuses self-identify as left-leaning. Anectodical data pushes that percentage closer to 90%.  These radical professors have been indoctrinating their students with the oppressor/victim ideology for years. Nothing else matters. To these professors, the fact that Hamas started this conflict in the first place is of no relevance. The fact that Hamas uses women and children as human shields is not significant. The fact that Hamas is a bona fide terrorist organization has no bearing. The only thing these professors can see through their myopic vision is that white men (Jews) are supposedly oppressing brown men (Palestinians).

The balance of the protestors is ridiculous and ill-informed college-age students, all wearing the keffiyeh scarves of  PLO leader and terrorist Yasser Arafat. One young woman admitted she didn’t even know what they were protesting. When questioned, she first asked her friend, who didn’t know either, and then bemoaned that she was not “more educated” on the matter. Other protestors are part of the LGBT community who have not yet figured out that the Muslim faith does not approve or condone their homosexual lifestyle, and if they were to set one foot in Palestine, they would get thrown in jail or be killed.

This disgusting scene around the country is what happens when God is taken out of every academic institution and replaced with atheist neo-Marxist philosophy hell-bent on total revolution and the destruction of our country. However, what we all need to understand is that although these people may hold powerful positions, they are, in reality, a tiny minority. The rest of us need to step forward and condemn the heinous attacks on our Jewish brethren in the loudest way possible, or the horrors of history may be repeated.

This quote from Martin Niemöller, a Lutheran pastor in Germany during WWII, serves as a cautionary tale:

First, they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and no one was left to speak for me.
