We have multiple college campuses wanting and shouting, "Death to all black people! Black people have no rights!"
Oh wait, it's Jews.
Never mind.

What did Hamas do again? I don't think you've told us yet. Run it by us again if you don't mind.
What about all the innocent people raped and killed by American forces over our long war history? I guess those don't matter, it's only the Muslims that do the same thing that matter. Nice.
However, the largest and most significant group is the third one, comprising what can only be termed “useful idiots” (a reference to naive individuals susceptible to manipulation, historically associated with communist activists operating in Western countries). These useful idiots are often compassionate people who champion the cause of those they perceive as exploited, or oppressed – the underdogs. The problem is that many among them lack a comprehensive understanding of the overarching agenda they unwittingly serve and remain unaware of the manipulation influencing their beliefs and actions.
Many of the useful idiots on American campuses suffer from “white-guilt” syndrome, characterized by a collective sense of culpability for the human suffering of various population groups all over the world due to alleged racist behavior and colonialist policies. On this ambiguous platform, antisemitic manipulation thrives, promoting the notion that Zionism, and by extension, the State of Israel, embodies colonialist ideals purportedly to rob the native inhabitants – the Palestinians – of their land.
This perspective, of course, disregards historical context, both ancient and modern, and ignores the continued physical presence of the Jewish people in their homeland, and their indigenous right to the land. The prevailing issue on US campuses today revolves around the ignorance of useful idiots who align themselves with both modern and classic antisemites. The animosity toward Israel and the Zionist idea has transcended into a widespread hatred of Jews, and has become de rigueur among progressive, liberal circles, primarily in the US but also in other Western countries.
THE PROBLEM of modern antisemitism, and especially that propagated by useful idiots, will not go away as long as there is a large number of academics around the world who insist on fueling the incitement and promoting the anti-Zionist and anti-Israeli narrative. These professors act deliberately to brainwash and inflame their students with lies and half-truths, without explaining the overall picture, or at least presenting the Israeli narrative.
I am having trouble understanding the logic here. Sure HAMAS "did some things", but because other people did bad things, it's OK. That's idiotic. It's 5 year old logic.
Regardless of any other factor, it was horrific that HAMAS tortured, and killed innocent people on October 7th. The part where that is being glossed over is the problem.

The whole Columbia U. event is really out of hand.
A Jewish student at Columbia University said anti-Israel protesters snatched and burned his Israeli flag, then struck him in the face with rocks during campus unrest over the weekend.
Jonathan Lederer, 22, told cops he was displaying the Israeli flags shortly before 10 p.m. Saturday when a protester grabbed one of them and took off — while another agitator burned a second flag.
According to police, Lederer started shooting video of the incident when two other anti-Israel protesters hurled rocks at him, hitting him in the face before taking off.

In regards to 'that one' .... I think you are dealing with this.
I mostly ignore it.

Police offices arrested 133 demonstrators at the anti-Israel protests at New York University's campus on Monday night, NYPD sources told Fox News.
Officers used zip ties and flex cuffs to remove the protesters from campus. They were taken on a bus to police headquarters, where they were charged with trespassing, the sources said.
The arrests come after an NYU spokesperson told local media that the protestors were behaving in a “disorderly, disruptive, and antagonizing manner."
"The one safety requirement we made was that no additional protestors could enter Gould Plaza. With the breach of the barricades early this afternoon, that requirement was violated, and we witnessed disorderly, disruptive, and antagonizing behavior that has interfered with the safety and security of our community," the university said in a statement.
I said arrest all the idiots, kick them out of the schools and tag them terrorist as they call themselves
End of story.
