Since the horrific attacks by Hamas on October 7, we have watched in dismay as thousands and thousands of college students, faculty, and staff have rallied, marched and chanted, calling for the overthrow of the state of Israel, and for genocide against its Jewish residents. (For the benefit of those unaware of the euphemism in the chant “From the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free,” this actually means “…shall be free of Jews.”)
We have watched in recent years as the Boycott-Divestment-Sanctions (BDS) movement spread across higher education (and big business, and Wall Street too, for that matter), and we’ve been concerned by the popularity of such bigotry, but we have assumed that surely it would be countered by the high Jewish population of the same institutions, and by the American people’s memory of the Holocaust.
Surely, anti-Israel sentiments must be a tiny minority, Right?
Wrong.
Instead, we have seen these massive numbers, both on campus and off, as college crowds take advantage of their flexible schedules (and often, likely, their disinterest in actual academics), to fill similar rallies in our big cities’ downtowns, our city halls and our state and national capitals.
It’s hard to imagine that a genocidal philosophy could get such a hold on academia, but the past month has awakened us to this reality.
And in asking why, we find that a great deal of research has been done already, showing how billions and billions of dollars of money from foreign sources – disproportionately from Qatar and China, but from lots of other countries as well – have found their way into American higher education.
Why, and how? Some of it is obvious, some is more cleverly hidden. And the reasons behind all this are more varied, and sometimes more devious, as well.

“Whence”, not “From whence.”
What percentage of these Israel protestors are illegal alien from south of the border??? - from the thousands of Muslims imported into the US by Obama/Biden administrations?? - from our college campuses???
I wonder if a lot of these students are “diversity hires” — mediocrities from the ghettos & barrios who perceive Jews as “colonizers,” “supremacists,” the usual garbage.
The campuses are pretty much comprised now of street kids and pink-haired, gender-indeterminate spoiled brat liberal whites.
Thank you. I hate being the bad guy.
You should see me react to misused apostrophes!
