So what can we do? I read article after article articulating with increasing clarity what is happening, the subversion of truth, the turning of truth on its head in the full embrace by the left and their academic elites of the not just Palestinian narrative - but the jihadist narrative, with ZERO room or allowance for any other perspectives… even among Palestinian and other Muslims. Ok… so now what? How do we possibly turn this ship around? Because it feels too late … it feels this ship (of the complete delegitimization and dehumanization of Israelis - and let’s be honest, Jews as a whole) has sailed. This is how the Holocaust happened… a drip, drip, drip of first criticism, then the shutting down of any other perspectives… and then the increasing dehumanization of Jews… until no one complained when Jews were massacred. Because the dehumanization was complete. The narrative that the Jews were lice making the body politic of Europe sick and must be eradicated, was complete. And this I what I watch happening today. The exact same story. The jihadist narrative was platformed at the Oscar’s…. The Oscar’s!!!!!! And the “softening” of West continues with this complete dehumanization of Israelis and Jews - how else to explain how many in the West - including our universities, our celebrates - responded with more protests (and even celebrations) as the Bibas family was buried? Maybe an orange pin to accompany your “free Palestine” pin might make these SJW seem more legitimate. But they are not. And now the Palestinian Arabs will suffer more. So again, I ask, how does the world fix this when an entire generation in the West has bought into this upside down narrative?
Forty or more years of Jew Hate weeks at universities. With the approval or indifference of academia/administrations. NYU awarding the sjp with its contribution to university life! Look at Barnard as the latest jihadi takeover. And the always reliable "asajews" I wonder as you do....
Gordon is yet one more example of a useful Israeli idiot - useful to the Islamist terrorists and Palestinian propagandists here and around the world, especially campus “educators”. Pathetic and dangerous.
Trump says he’s going to cut off fed funds to these schools, end student visas, deport those protesting, arrest American kids. We’ll see what he actually does.
Are you alone Mr. Pressin? YOU have to single handedly refute this garbage? My fear "asaretiredJewishHS"teacher English is that NYC's HS's, Chicago's Boston's LA's....are all preparatory "teach Palestine" grooming academies. Even without officially adopting it, in the classroom the teachers are free to direct the students' in any way they please. Few kids are that motivated to independently use a computer for research. Universities can host the kind of series of propaganda as scholarship events. "Teach Palestine" "Read..." Dance, eat, sleep....whatever. The most egregious crime in human history: "Nakba" "Palestine" before Zionism was a paradise of brotherhood of Muslim, Christian, Jew all living in harmony. No mention of Jim Crowish dhimmitude....Jews knew their place. Until Zionism challenged Muslim hegemony. And ultranationalist ultraArabchauvanist ideology...all a byproduct of panGerman, panSlavic European notions about race and nation. "Arab nation" is a construct too. Palestine is a con job in all its concoction and ultranationalist Islamist racist notions about an alleged nation. Great post Mr. Pressin. You cover every aspect of this garbage. you, Ms. Chesler, Ms. Phillips, Mr. Brendan O 'Brien, Mr. Douglas Murray. I 'm keeping my comments brief.
