Human Dreck

The protesters at Columbia, Yale and elsewhere have shown themselves to be devoid of any humanity. They are the dreck of the American elite.

There is no question that outside actors have joined students and faculty at the Jew-hate festivals now taking place at universities in the US. Notably, Harvard has banned the public from campus property and the noise there is notably less than from say Yale, where students took down an American flag while screaming, “Viva, viva Palestine.” They should have called out viva Atlantis, as like Palestine, it too never existed.

Though outside actors and dark money are playing a role in the campus mayhem, major players are still the useful idiot students themselves. Think of the enormous amounts of effort, money, training, and concern invested into these people. Imagine how much money their parents put into their education and activities, independent of the $90,000 a year for a place like Columbia. How many teachers and tutors, coaches, and instructors invested countless hours to make these students the top of their classes. And what do we have for all of their efforts? Human garbage.

One can be “pro-Palestinian” without being pro-Hamas. One can claim that the Palestinians somehow deserve a state and still admit to the barbaric behavior of not only the Hamas terrorists but also the numerous Gazan civilians who raped, stole, murdered, and kidnapped on 10/7. One can be critical of the state of Israel but not hate all Jews everywhere. But our highly-educated, generally wealthy, and fully-pampered college protesters have zero humanity in them. They call themselves Hamas. They want Israel erased, not a state living peacefully next to a Palestinian state. They want all Jews gone, screaming at Jews whose families have been in the US for generations, “Go back to Poland!” Their hatred is total and their lack of seeing multiple sides of an issue or showing empathy for those harmed is stunning. They are far worse than their Nazi predecessors.

If one looks at the history of National Socialism, it becomes obvious that Hitler’s appeal to the German masses was based heavily on his promise of a better future and the righting of what was perceived as the wrong of the Versaille Treaty and the ending of World War I. The point is that Hitler offered the average German a promise of a better future for him and his family. In our current plot, Hamas has nothing to offer the college students and their faculty brainwashers except the thrill of action, of being on the barricades. For the German, sticking it to the Jew was one more benefit of Hitler’s platform, but it was secondary to the end of the chaos of Weimar and the reassertion of German greatness. In our modern Nazi play, Jew hatred is the main course. Sure, they want Israel to disappear, and they want Israelis to be murdered in another intifada. But that is all secondary. Their hatred is directed towards all Jews and they want the Jews dead and gone. And they do not hide their hatred or their desire to see the Jews annihilated.

Joe Biden is afraid to go after the psychotic protesters, because they are his voters. The school administrations don’t want to kick the students out because they ultimately agree with their view that Jews/whites/males are oppressors, so there is a basis for the protests. The police arrest and the DAs release because it would be racist to charge these racists with hate crimes, as would be the case if their protesting had been against blacks or homosexuals. As no one in authority is willing to confront this trash, they become more emboldened to physically attack Jews as well as move from “from the river to the sea” to let’s have a 10/7 every day. I do not know how this ends, but I do know that Jews see that school officials do not have their back. Just as the London Metropolitan Police is terrified of the massive pro-Hamas crowds, so too the school administrators are afraid of their own students. We are witnessing profiles in cowardice, from the pampered students, their ideologically-deranged professors, the scared-of-their-shadow university presidents, the weak police, and finally the clueless president. A strong response would put the terrorist wannabes in their place and give Jews a sense of support. Unfortunately, we have no leaders in this generation, and their absence is felt. Exercise: name four generals or admirals from World War 2. Now, name four who are leading their services today. I can’t either.

One of the greatest failures for US policy today is our inability to understand the mentalities of the players in the Middle East. I know that when we were in Dubai two weeks ago, the locals were cheering for Israel to win. Stability is with Israel, not with the death cult pyromaniacs of Hamas. Nancy Pelosi still babbles on about “two states,” but everyone knows that the Palestinian Authority and Hamas are equal in their hatred of Israel, the only differences being one is secular while the other is Islamist. Israelis will get rid of Benjamin Netanyahu at the right time but are behind his policies by large majorities. The Palestinians want everything, not some half a glass solution. Nothing I just wrote is understood by the players in the State Department or the White House. Everything I wrote in this paragraph is obvious to anyone who lives in the region and speaks with locals.

The situation is so bad that Israel is considering organizing emergency response squads to help protect diaspora Jewish communities. The best and brightest that the US can produce are pro-terror clones who have lost all of their humanity. Their parents and teachers should be ashamed of the garbage they have produced. The students themselves are so far gone that they would not know what shame is.
