A brain virus still plagues college campuses. Students demand that the college they attend divest from Israel. Isreal’s crime? It's fighting a war against Hamas – a war that Hamas started by slaughtering 1,200 people.
Students aren’t demanding anything of Hamas because they have been spoon-fed the lie that Hamas is somehow part of an oppressed class. They are “Palestinians” and therefore they are victims.
It isn’t just college campuses. High Schools have seen students walk and protest. If they are asked “why?” they might deliver and combination of platitudes and flat-out falsehoods but it is almost always the product of an educator making specious claims. And students who object are often cowed into silence, or bullied once they open their mouths.
