University students’ anti-Israel screeds: Letters
The Issue: Condemnation and consequences for college students who’ve blamed Israel for Hamas’ attack.
Alumni members and benefactors of American colleges and universities that are supporting Hamas and Hezbollah, while condemning Israel and Jews, should immediately discontinue contributing monetarily to these institutions (“Schooled on hate,” Oct. 12).
Businesses across the country should not even consider employing these schools’ graduates for any future positions.
Many of the administrators, faculty members and students of these supposed institutions of higher learning have lost their collective minds.

Condemning the Hamas attack is a no-brainer for most people. Yet across America there are those who blame Israel, including students at Ivy League schools.
I don’t understand how anyone who has seen the videos from the past week could possibly support terrorists, much less do so publicly. There is no justification for slaughtering families and kidnapping and torturing women, children and the elderly.
I don’t care what your politics are. If you can’t condemn this atrocity as a horrific crime of monumental proportions, then you really need to do some soul-searching.

Many of us on the sidelines have been watching the elites abandon our protection of free speech, reinterpret historical information, remove symbols and statues and position of all sorts of people in the name of victimized groups.
While this was occurring, they also created new parameters to educate our next generation about safe spaces and the bizarre concept that words themselves can be violence.
Now, here we are with the barbaric terrorist attack by Hamas on Israel, and the students lack the moral wherewithal to see the difference between the two entities.
I would contend that this reprehensible elitist behavior is partly the result of the miseducation of a generation via revisionist history.

It seems to me that these schools are not preparing these students for the real world, where your words and actions have consequences.
Leftists have said and done a lot to cancel people’s livelihoods; they’ve destroyed people’s reputations. Now they’re learning that the cancel sword they have been swinging so proudly cuts both ways.

I will sing the praises of Bill Ackman for the rest of my life. Ackman stood up to evil. Like most civilized humans, he knows the difference between good and bad.
I also know that I will never send my children to any of the universities that have openly supported the annihilation of Israel and will not denounce the terrorists and their murderous ways.
We have members of Congress who support terrorists. They have no honor or sense of duty to their country or constituents and should be removed from office.

I’m glad that anyone who supports the murder of innocent people is being blacklisted. They need to pay dearly for their support of modern-day Nazism.
They know exactly what they did. Youth is no excuse.
Today’s world of academia is nothing more than a breeding ground for stupidity and ignorance.
Places like Yale and Harvard have lost their luster. The students and professors are a bunch of antisemitic, America-hating race baiters, screaming about fascism as they accost you if you don’t adhere to their beliefs.

Student groups at Harvard made the astonishingly asinine claim that Israel was “entirely responsible” for the Hamas attack.
Surely such a prestigious educational institution would be able to enlighten or educate these young minds about their prejudice and blatant bigotry. In this particular instance, however, I fear it would simply be the blind leading the blind.
