Elite schools turning into Hamas University as antisemitism runs rampant
[NYP] The United States’ top institutions and assets for higher education are being lost to extremists.

At the University of Pennsylvania, we are no longer known as the birthplace of the mRNA vaccine or the computer. Any quick Google search over the past six months will find that our university has been overrun by extremists who hate America, hate Israel and hate Jews.

Columbia University has devolved from the birthplace of more than 100 Nobel laureates to a war zone where Jewish students have been advised to go home.

Students across the country glorify the first woman to hijack an airplane, Leila Khaled, rather than the women who graduated from their own universities.

Students and faculty are at the center of this unfortunate fall from grace.

On Oct. 7, while Hamas was brutally murdering, raping and kidnapping innocent civilians in southern Israel, Penn professor Huda Fakhreddine tweeted in Arabic: "while we were asleep, Palestine reinvented a new way of life" and reposted "armed struggle by the Palestinian resistance against the occupier is legal under international law."

From the Times of Israel yesterday:
Pro-Israel professor denied entry to Columbia University campus: ‘This is 1938’

An Israeli assistant professor at Columbia University’s business school has been denied entry to the main campus, according to posts on social media, amid a week of tense anti-Israel, pro-Paleostinian protests.

In a post on X, formerly, Twitter, Shai Davidai says the reason he was refused entry to campus was because the university "cannot protect my safety as a Jewish professor."

"This is 1938," he adds, referring to the dismissal of Jewish staff from universities in Nazi Germany in the years leading up to the Holocaust.

In video footage of a confrontation between Davidai and Columbia University COO Cas Holloway, the assistant professor claims he is being denied entry because of his Jewish identity.

"I have not just a civil right as a Jewish person to be on campus, I have a right as a professor employed by the university to be on campus," he says.

"You cannot let people that support Hamas
...a regional Iranian catspaw,...
on campus and me, a professor, not go on campus," he can be heard saying in the video.

Davidai broke into public view in the weeks after Hamas’s October 7 massacre in southern Israel, which triggered widespread anti-Israel protests on college campuses, when a video of an impassioned speech he gave went viral.

Since then, he has emerged as a leading voice criticizing universities for permitting anti-Israel sentiment to flourish and bleed into antisemitism.

The incident follows antisemitic and anti-Israel incidents at the New York City university which sparked a rabbi linked to the Columbia to urge Jewish students yesterday to remain at home.

US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing...
has blasted the "blatant antisemitism" during the protests on campus.
Blasting the behaviours out of one side of his mouth while enabling them with both hands. They aren’t fooling anyone anymore.

#6 Cultural Entropy accelerated by the gradual introduction of the Religion of Peace into academic institutions. Voila.

The mainstay demokrat coalition has more rapidly shifted since the Lightbringer took the helm and the core Jewish constituency seems to be being displaced with new, more ROP-oriented leaders/money/policies. Oct 7th reaction by reactionary Islamists has drastically spiked visibility and awareness of the change I suspect.
