Why Do Harvard Students and Teachers Tell Lies About Israel?

By now, I am sure you’ve heard that 31 Harvard University student organizations are holding Israel “entirely responsible” for the Hamas terrorist attack that brutally slaughtered innocent people. Women, children, old men and grandmothers killed in cold blood. Children raped.  The enormity of this barbarism has shocked the civilized world, but it hasn’t shocked me, and that’s because I know what animals these people are. They come from a debased and uncivilized culture that has been engaging in this exact activity for hundreds of years. They live in shitholes because they have a shitty culture. Period. End of story. 

When I read about these Harvard groups, I had just gotten through recording and posting a podcast on the utter stupidity of the Ivy League elite. Their students and faculties don’t exercise any independent thinking; they all drink the Manchurian Candidate Kool-Aid. Many of these vacuous drones go on to “serve” in government. 10-year-old children could make better policy decisions than our academic elites.

Perhaps you have been following my expose on the University of Richmond, a so-called “Jr. Ivy” at URWOKE. NET. A once great university to which my family made historic contributions is now a trash heap of Marxist wokery. The once staunch Baptist school denounces Judeo- Christian orthodoxies to such an extent that they have a Palestinian professor who openly calls Jews “dogs” and supports terrorist groups. Professor Dana El Kurd  has a history of extreme antisemitism. It appears that she may have even supplied target information to Hezbollah which of course would allow it to kill Jews. The University of Richmond costs $81,000 and is filled with rich private school kids. El Kurd and other professors purposefully tell outrageous lies to these unsuspecting students about Israel. 

So-called “elite” universities are not what they were 40-50 years ago. These are trash heaps of sheer nonsense. Marxist theory emanating out of the Frankfort School has seeped into every curriculum, to the point where teachers purposefully indoctrinate students to hate their parents.

Why do these academics hate Israel? They hate Jews because Jews are successful and come from a superior culture. Marxist theory demands that these academics hate success. A superior culture of smart and successful people demolishes the underpinnings of Marxism. Academia feels forced to tear down Israel with purposeful distortion and lies.  

Let me get the truth out about Israel. If you are a snowflake, this might hurt your feelings.  Jews are smart, they work hard and they have a set of values that have served them well for 3,000 years. For the most part, the Palestinians aren’t smart, are lazy and come from a culture that sucks. Here is some history….

There never was or has been a Palestinian state. The Romans forced most Jews from their homeland in the first century. A Jewish diaspora followed. However, some Jews were allowed to stay and thus there has always been a Jewish presence in Palestine. The expelled Jews ended up all over the world and although representing only a tiny portion of the population of their new countries they excelled wherever they went. 1,800 years after getting kicked out of their homeland many started trickling back. They didn’t just “take” the land, these settlers bought their property from existing landowners.  The land was barren and unforgiving, but they were smart and worked hard and figured out how to make it productive. So much so, Arabs began migrating there to take advantage of the opportunities the Jews created. The United Nations voted to create a Jewish state and an Arab state in November of 1947. The Jews agreed, but the Arabs didn’t. On May 14, 1948 Israel declared independence, and the very next day all the neighboring Arab states invaded Israel. Massively outnumbered, the Jews won the war. During the war, Arab leaders told the Arab residents living in Israel to leave. Many did, many also got pushed out. Why wouldn’t the Jews push out those who wanted to annihilate them and who proclaimed Israel had no right to exist?  Because of their failed efforts and raw naked aggression, there were 700,000 Arab refuges. Their Arab sponsors, who pretend to care about their fellow Arabs, would not take these refugees into their own countries despite being 100 times the size of Israel. About this time, Arab neighbors expelled roughly 850,000 Jews and Israel took in all who wanted to come. Amazingly many Arabs, i.e. Muslims did not want to leave Israel. They stayed and were given full citizenship rights and today they make up 20% of Israel’s population. In 1967, Arab countries tried to wipe Israel off the map again, but were defeated in 6 days. Israel took the Golan Heights from Syria, the West Bank from Jordan and the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt. Sorry fellas, but when you try and kill everybody in another country and lose, you don’t get to keep the land where you launched your attacks.  Israel was attacked again in 1973. To prove it merely wanted peace in the region, Israel gave the Sinai back to Egypt. In an effort to foster peace, Israel pulled out of the Gaza Strip in 2005. I would have advised against it because the result was predictable.  What happened?  Hamas took over and has subsequently fired thousands of rockets into Israel and has sponsored hundreds of terror attacks.  Iran sponsors Hamas because it hates Jews and openly states Israel should be annihilated. Hezbollah (also an Iranian proxy) fires missiles into Israel from Lebanon.  

The teeny tiny nation of Israel has one of the 10 most powerful militaries in the world, and one of the most technologically sophisticated. It could wipe out its adversaries in a nano-second, but it doesn’t. Why? Because the Jews have an ingrained moral code that few other cultures have.  For example, Syria’s Assad has killed and wounded hundreds of thousands of his own countrymen, many of whom are children. Israel’s world class hospitals mobilized to treat these people for free. Israel delivers humanitarian aid all over the world, including to its adversaries. 

Despite its very existence being under a constant threat of annihilation, what is Israel’s civil and cultural life like? Remarkable is the answer. It has some of the best universities and scholars in the world. It is the only democracy in the Middle East.   With only 9.4 million people, Israel has more startup companies than the UK, Japan, India or China. Its technology sector is truly breathtaking, chips, aerospace, telecommunications, AI, software development, robotics and more.  It is a leader in health care and medicine. Most international “Big Techs” have research and development operations in Israel due to its university system and smart people. It has a thriving venture capital industry. And let’s not forget a thriving and dynamic arts, culture and literary scene. Why is this? It’s because its culture is vastly superior to its neighbors.

The Palestinians put themselves in the position they are in by being barbaric riffraff. Their government is utterly corrupt and so is their culture. I know many nice Muslims,  but the truth is a very bad, vulgar and detestable form of Islam has its grip on the Palestinian people and greatly contributes to why their culture sucks.

Harvard doesn’t teach the truth as I just did. BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) is a Palestinian-led movement that pretends to work for freedom, justice and equality for Palestinians. Get that?  The culture that promotes “honor killings” (legally chopping off your wife’s head) stands for “justice” and “equality.”  But soft headed useful idiots in the West suck it all up. Over the last 20 years BDS has become a hip extracurricular activity on college campuses. Think of college orientation. Dozens of booths of various clubs and organizations, the Frisbee Golf Club, the Knitting Club, the Glee Club, etc. BDS has its booth too. It tells students what a good cause it is and how it is fighting against oppression. The young freshman knows nothing of the world. He is a gullible, empty vessel and BDS can lure him into their cult by making him feel he is involved in a righteous cause, one the freshman can use to prove his social justice credentials to all the other indoctrinated dolts on campus.  Since our youth are mostly unchurched and the Left which controls academia hates the Jews, BDS has gained a solid foothold on campus. However, BDS is actually a terrorist front group that manipulates the gullible and promotes evil behind closed doors. Let’s look at their so called “goals.”

1.Ending Israel’s occupation and colonization of all Arab lands. How does one do that without annihilating the entire Jewish state. Have any of the little Harvard twits considered this or is it just fun to virtue signal.

2. Getting Arab Palestinians in Israel full equality. That makes no sense for two reasons. 1)  they already have full equality and 2) see # 1 above. This is just a sound bite to manipulate the easily manipulated.

3. Having Palestinians return to the homes they occupied prior to 1948. 700,000 Palestinians lost their homes in the 1948 War and BDS claims they are refugees. Well, they should have thought about that before they attacked Israel. The UN gave the Palestinians the opportunity to have their own country, but they wanted to kill Jews instead of having peace. BDS tells these kids that the Palestinians were driven from their homes via multiple atrocities: murder, genocide, ethnic cleansing and a host of other outright lies. The Arab nations that attacked Israel in 1948 told the Palestinians that they would take them into their countries, but did they? No. They lied so they can use these people as fodder and to be a perpetual thorn in Israel’s side. 

4.The BDS lies about Gaza and tells the gullible that Israel attacked it and killed civilians, and of course doesn’t mention that Gaza is controlled by Hamas and fires rockets indiscriminately into Israel to maim, kill and murder Jews.  Of course, it also doesn’t mention that even though Israel is often attacked, it responds in ways that minimize the casualties of its adversaries, while its adversaries want to kill every last Jew in Israel.  In short, BDS lies about everything.

BDS holds “educational” training seminars with students to spread their lies and propaganda. It has a highly organized political structure on these campuses disseminating misinformation. Where does the money come from? BDS is funded primarily by America Muslims for Palestine (AMP) which in turn funds Students for Justice in Palestine. AMP is not a 501 ( c) ( 3). It states it is funded through the Americans for Justice in Palestine Educational Foundation (AJP), but this organization shares the same address as AMP. This labyrinth structure is designed to hide that Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood and similar terrorist organizations fund these propaganda and political networks on campus. Thus,  BDS receives funding from terrorists. The Harvard empty vessels are being indoctrinated by Islamic terrorists and are too dumb to know it.  Sadly, if one follows the money even more, one will find that American taxpayers are unwittingly funding Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist groups. Money is fungible, and when Barack Obama and Joe Biden give Iran billions of dollars, guess what they do with it?
