The past several months Israeli government response to the October 7th Hamas attack has been extreme, so far murdering tens of thousands of innocent civilians in Gaza.
I disagree with the people rationalizing the mass murders and near total destruction of Gaza. It’s always immoral and unjustifiable to kill innocent human beings.
Remember, killing an innocent human being is not “defense.”
However, the protests going on on college campuses? “WTF?” as some people might say. Brainwashed youngins are robotically chanting kooky slogans to criticize Israel and Zionism. Sure, I have criticized Israel and Zionism. Most recently, here, here, and here.
But it seems that a vocal minority of the college protesters are also criticizing Jews in general. Like anyone who happens to be Jewish has any responsibility for atrocities in Gaza.
You see, years of indoctrination at the government schools inculcate this collectivist mentality.
But it is also years of collectivist mindset since 9/11. For example, the corporate “news” media’s 20-year long propaganda of “Muslim-Muslim-Muslim,” “Arab-Arab-Arab,” etc. And I know that many of the “protesting” punks, the ones who are harassing and intimidating Jewish students, weren’t even born at the time of the 9/11/2001 terrorist attacks. But they grew up seeing TV “news,” hearing their parents’ accepting of TSA molesting and anti-Middle East/Muslim attitudes. The young generation only knows collectivist mindset now.
And it seems the young people are now switching that collectivist antagonism toward certain groups from Muslims over to Jews.
So it appears as though many of these young robots can’t distinguish between what the Israeli government and military are doing and Jewish people in general. Like if someone here in the good ol’ USSA is Jewish therefore that person is responsible for, or shares responsibility with Israeli military murdering Palestinians in Gaza. That seems to be the thinking on these college campuses.
And it’s also an American thing, or maybe a Western thing, this collectivist mindset. On the other side of the argument over Israel and Gaza, I hear the conservatives on talk radio, and “liberals” as well, rationalizing mass murdering thousands of innocents in Gaza. But also many of these people accept the rationalization of the U.S. military bombing civilian areas of Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and murdering hundreds of thousands in those places, for this or that reason. And Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq, all the millions there. And the half-million Iraqi civilians killed by sanctions throughout the 1990s, etc.
And FDR, Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush are NOT war criminals! Nope. Neither is “Bibi,” now.
I guess Americans in general, of all generations now including the younger ones, are just brainwashed with the collectivist mindset, so that even the young college-aged people are blaming Jews in general for the murderous violence perpetrated by the Israeli military and “Bibi,” that guy.
Some of the college campus “protesters” are yelling at Jewish students, intimidating and assaulting and terrorizing them. I was in college during the first half of the 1980s, and I am so glad none of this crap was going on at that time.
And worse, because of the local police and DAs in these blue states and blue cities not arresting actually violent people, those “law enforcement” public employees (I will not call them public “workers”) are standing with violent people. The officials are aiding and abetting violence.
And people have a right to protest, but they don’t have a right to attack, intimidate, threaten or assault others. The violent and threatening ones really do need to be arrested.
Anyway, I don’t think those punks on the college campuses even care about Palestinians or Arabs or Muslims in Israel or Gaza. I don’t think they care about anything but getting their next bong hit, their xanax and their zoloft, etc. And, like the zombie adults now, the youngins can’t let go of their stupid little electronic gadgets, their “smart” phones, can’t stop staring into their little screens and being hypnotized like zombies. (It wouldn’t surprise me if the gubmint “security” apparatchiks are infiltrating the social media to hypnotize and reinforce the youngins’ need to act out their rage against innocent people. Gubmint “workers” are mainly psychopaths, you know.)
So the “students” are in college but they probably couldn’t care less about their studies, working on their term papers, or actually learning anything new other than the crap they’ve already been indoctrinated with from middle school and high school, the race-obsessed and “LGBT” and sex deviancy crap.
No, they just like to yell and scream and lash out at other people and get away with it. They are punks and hooligans, just like the commie blue city DAs and police chiefs.
So we need people on the college campuses who actually advocate peace and freedom, and promote the writings and philosophy of Murray Rothbard, Leonard E. Read and Larken Rose. Yup.
