The unconscionable attack on Israeli civilians by a Hamas gunman on October 7th was marked by murder rape torture and kidnapping on the bloodiest day in the country’s 75-year history an estimated 1300 were killed over 3,300 were wounded and approximately 150 Israelis were taken hostage.
Karys Rhea a fellow with the Jewish leadership project stated this is the greatest loss of Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust the Hamas. The invaders were not soldiers they were assassins. The Hamas Charter calls for the ultimate annihilation of all Israeli Jews. Followed by the annihilation of Jews around the world. Sound familiar?
Sadly some people, including some right here in America, actually celebrated the slaughter and blame those being murdered, raped, and kidnapped. Many of America’s most respected Elite universities are not only indulging but endorsing sanctioned student organizations holding celebrations for the murders. Harvard, Yale, Georgetown, UCLA, and Stanford are high-profile examples that should raise concern if not outrage.
These student organizations’ reactions to the Hamas attack revealed a disturbing degree of Ivy-covered intellectual rot. Americans nationwide have been appalled and shocked at the leadership of these supposedly highly sophisticated schools.
They are so busy virtue signaling and coddling students who think that words are violence but violence, horrific inhumane violence, is social justice. They have forgotten, it is their job to teach their students to think and to test reality. Instead of training tomorrow’s leaders they are profoundly demagnetizing our culture’s moral compass.
Senator Corey Booker commented recently that there was a time when we took pride in calling out bad behavior and bad actors. Calling evil, evil, and hatred, hatred. Martin Luther King Jr said we suffer not just from the vitriol and violence of our enemies but from the appalling silence and inaction of the good people. I’m no expert in geopolitics, but I don’t need to be, to immediately denounce the actions of Hamas, as utterly sick, twisted, disgusting, and inexcusable.
Staying fully in my Lane of analyzing human behavior I will amplify some things I know for sure. I know for sure the atrocities and ensuing celebrations committed by Hamas are inexcusable and unjustifiable. These are not the acts of honorable soldiers, freedom fighters, or militants. From a psychological standpoint, I can’t help but wonder what these assassins say to themselves alone in the middle of the night after murdering a terrified and defenseless baby boy or girl. Have they bothered to think about how many of their children they have destined to be sacrificed in the retaliation that is certain to follow? Retaliation Hamas has brought down on the Gazin Palestinians.
I know for sure that allowing university-sanctioned organizations to celebrate the sadistic acts of Terror without consequence confirms these enlightened woke universities are failing miserably in shaping educating, and maturing the minds of those students. It is the Educator’s job to teach critical thinking that will lead to a rational response. A skill set that is in short supply in today’s world. Perhaps such training on how to think would have led these students and their organizations to realize they are not supporting Palestinians and Gazins’. Hamas is not even Palestinian. You cannot negotiate with people whose only acceptable outcome is to murder you and your entire race. Seriously, have some of these people gotten together and collectively lost their minds?
We know right from wrong and we must stand up for what we believe and know is right. We must call out these institutions. How is any of this acceptable to anyone? How is it not recognized as incredibly racist? How do Elite Educators not recognize this is a huge teachable moment in the student’s journey? The heads of these schools need to Simply say on this campus we don’t celebrate racism, anti-Semitism (Jewish Racism), baby killing, and murdering. What they are doing instead is distancing themselves in hopes it blows over. Israel is our friend and ally. They don’t need us to just be their friend in good times. They need us to be their friend in bad times. To be their friend when it is easier not to be a friend. Good friends are the ones coming in the door when everyone else is going out! This is a really good time to show Israel and the world who we are!
