Thousands of young students – from universities, high schools and even middle schools – are joining in demonstrations, marches and protests against Israel, against the United States and against Jews. Some even are Jews. They are joining Muslim and Arab anti-Zionists, radical anarchist anti-Americans and community organizers who oppose Israel's right to exist.
Some of the signs say "pro-Palestine", "ceasefire now" and "end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza". But these benign statements hide a far more malignant agenda, the end of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people, the end of America as the world's leading power and the end of democracy and the free market economy. Even if there were a unilateral ceasefire, accompanied by massive humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza, many of these protests would continue, because Gaza is merely an excuse for a much wider agenda: to destroy Israel and destroy America.
During recent protests in New York, there were calls to repeat the barbarity of October 7 "a thousand times." There were shouts of "We are Hamas", "Death to America", "Burn Tel Aviv to the ground", "Israel go to hell" and "Jews to back to Poland." The chant of "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" is pervasive. Free of what? Free of Jews. The goal is to make all of Israel Judenrein – ethnically cleansed of all Jews. One never sees a sign calling for a two-state solution or for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. These are not the goals. What is demanded is the end of any Jewish presence in the Middle East. "Death to America," similarly, means the end of America's influence and Western values.
Many of the signs call for "revolution." These are not directed against Israel, but rather against America, American Jews and all other Western democracies. The war in Gaza, started by Hamas on October 7, has provided the most recent excuse for anarchists, revolutionaries and America-haters to organize and recruit young people, many of whom have no idea what they are marching for or against. They know that many of their professors support the radical agenda. For example, Columbia University Professor Joseph Massad praised the events of October 7, 2023, which included rapes, beheadings, kidnappings, and the murder of 1,200 Israelis. Other professors from many universities encourage student involvement in the protests.
As in the 1960s, many of these students are being groomed to be the terrorists of the future -- in the manner of Kathy Boudin and Bernardine Dohrn back then – and, in the United States, a fifth column, the aim of which is taking down America.
For the most part, the groups protesting are comprised of four elements: the first consists of Arab and Muslim haters of Israel and Jews, who see this as an opportunity to call for the end of the nation-state of the Jewish people and the substitution of a Muslim caliphate or a radical Arab state; the second consists of old line radicals, anarchists, communists and America-haters who use any opportunity to seek to essentially overthrow Western democracies; the third are the organizers who stand ready to obtain funding and organizational logistics for well-planned systematic protests; and the fourth are the "useful idiots" who are recruited by the professors, the organizers and others.
Most of these young people have little or no knowledge of the substantive issues. They simply want to be part of current protest movements, which are popular on campuses and among many of their peers. It is this last group that is most troubling, because many of its members are good and decent people who are being led into dangerous territory by their elders. They are even more dangerous than the first three groups, because many of them come from influential backgrounds and may well become future leaders. The other groups tend to include mostly marginalized outsiders.
That these useful idiots are young does not make them less dangerous. Young students were instrumental in bringing to power tyrants such as Hitler, Stalin, Castro, Pol Pot and Mao. But the fact that they are young and ambitious makes them more amenable to change. And alternative influences.
Some of these student radicals seek to enter professions such as law, medicine, engineering, business and the media. Many of these professions would not look favorably on Hamas supporters, revolutionaries, America-haters and antisemites. That is probably why so many of the current protesters wear masks, to hide their identities and avoid future employers learning about their activities. That is why pro-Israel organizations such as Canary Mission seek to identify these anti-Israel and anti-American protesters. The marketplace is open to all ideas, but in the real world there are consequences for expressing some of them -- which these students are not being taught. Where are the armed guards escorting Jewish students to class, as there were escorting the threatened Black youths to integrated school in the 1960s in the South?
There should also be consequences – including arrest and prosecution – for physically intimidating, blocking and harassing Jews or any minorities. Such actions are not protected by the First Amendment, university disciplinary rules, or employers after graduation.
Victims of those illegal actions have rights, too. They must be protected and their rights enforced. Universities are failing not only their Jewish students but all their students by refusing to educate them about what behavior is acceptable and what is not.

This student is stating, in disciplinary hearing about making threatening comments, that he wants to kill anyone who disagrees with him politically. It is not a metaphor. He is actually claiming a right to murder people based on their political beliefs -- and he is STILL a student at Columbia! He is a leader of the pro-Hamas contingent on campus.
When someone repeatedly says they want to kill you, you should believe them and act accordingly, possibly pre-emptively.
Dershowitz returns to his habitual old man harange, In his past, he is allegedly responsible for ruining with impunity the lives of scores of underage young girls, groomed, drugged and raped,probably in an intelligence/influence gathering operation run by his BFF, Jeffrey Epstein, a fellow hard core Jewish supremacist who enjoyed Dershowitz's protection from law enforcement, his project advice and camaraderie for an entire generation Dershowitz escaped indictment by pressuring spineless District Attorneys (this sentence is about you, Alex Acosta) by means of that influence and the Epstein fortune, Habitually, Dershowitz pretends his Epstein years never occured, and since he never had any empathy for the slave girls anyway;, he pretends that the underage girls had no more use than as "prostitutes", a direct quote from Dershowitz,, and that their lives never mattered anyway
Sara Ransomme said in a deposition that she could not bear to look at his body or even his face. I will relate to you exactly why student demonstators at Columbia and many other schools are vital fight the fundamental corruption and hypocrisy that Dershowitz represents.,
A starting pont is hypocrisy. Last year, he remembered (with customary acidity) how Jews were subjected to pogroms of blacklisting by Senator McCarthy and HUAC who prosecuted them for their lack of primary loyalty to the United States. Communism to them was worth more loyalty to America, so they lost their jobs Since Communism was per se not legal, the blacklisting was wrong where national security was not at issue. BUT.now with Israel being determined as a plausibly genocidal nation by the ICJ,, Dershowitz wants the same blacklisting directed against American protestors exercising their free speech rights protesting Jewish state immorality, routine human rights violations, and the Genocide itself conducted by Israeli Jews.. These protestors complain further about the Democratic Administration complicity. The DNC, the organization running the Democratic party, has clearly shown it has been bought lock, stock and barrel by the American Israel Political Action Committee. Mike Johnson, Speaker of the Hojuse , takes AIPAC money too. Dershowitz wants all these protestors names on lists and he wants them fired from their employment since their political beliefs are "antisemitic". No Jewish employer should continue the employment of these protestors, he says. He claims to have personally inspired a Chicago law firm to withdraw a job offer to a protesting president of the NYU Law Students Union. Dershowitz specified he wanted her never to work as a lawyer, and he would do whatever possible to assure that outcome.
BTW she is black and gifted.
Dershowitz's podcast is meant for listeners who want education in his views of Jewish supremacy, not only in Palestine. He never educates, only propagandizes. Listeners are told false facts, information that the NYTimes and Intercept magazine have actually investigated and found were lies in one case by a Mossad agent, and in at least two other cases lies from party members of Otzma Yehudit who had also blogged pro-genocidal texts prjor to October 7th. Dershowitz is not anywhere near to being a solution. He is THE problem in genocide support, allegedly in at least child sexual trafficking support, and clearly in the corruption of the American political process through AIPAC bribery of electd public officials. Hampered by these corrupt officials, America is unable to heal itself from this corruption without student help.. These student demonstrators cannot be cowed by Dershowitz's threats that they will live a homeless life without employment, The students are neccesary to facilitate reform, terminate the AIPAC corruption, and frankly regain American independence from the foreign agent, AIPAC. My generation reformed America with the Sixties Rebellion. It is your turn now, Columbia students, Berkeley students, Champaign-Urbana........Stop buying anything from Israel and fight the oppressors, Remember: Dershowitz is the vocal representative of oppression. And immorality. And he still misses Jeffrey.
