Legal Insurrection by William A. Jacobson 10/13/2023
My column in The Spectator (U.S.): “The use of the term “Resistance” to defend the mass murder and rapes against Israelis is no coincidence. HAMAS is an acronym for Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya (Islamic Resistance Movement)…. they are promoting Hamas.”At Legal Insurrection we’ve been covering the campus anti-Israel movement almost since our start 15 years ago. There are a wide range of sociopaths and psychopaths who make up that movement, and we’ve covered just about all of them. There also are the useful idiots who think they are doing ‘social justice’.
If there was any doubt to the depravity of this movement in its various forms, the reaction to the Hamas mass killing, torture, rape, and beheading of Israelis (both civilian and military) should put that to doubt. Yet here we are, there are protests on many campuses in favor of Hamas and what Hamas did.
The Barbarians are inside the gates, as I’ve pointed out as to off-campus support for Hamas.
They also are on campuses, something I explored in a guest column at The Spectator (U.S.), It Can Happen at Harvard. That’s the title they chose, my title (which is the sub-title) is Hamas is inside the gates of American campuses, which has had a nice placement as the featured column on the home page all day:
How did we get to the point that on numerous American campuses devoted to “social justice,” many student groups openly celebrated a brutal Hamas attack that killed more than 1,000 Israeli civilians and saw many hundreds tortured, beheaded, executed in front of family members and set on fire?
How did we get to the point on campuses where any unwanted sexual contact, even if intended only as a non-violent romantic approach, is denounced as a crime against women and can lead to expulsion, yet student protesters celebrate the mass rape of Israeli women, including rape victims still bleeding from the violation or killed and stripped naked, being paraded through the streets of Gaza as howling mobs defiled and abused their bodies?
How did we get to the point that universities where demands for universal free pre-K are supported, the kidnapping of babies and children as hostages is considered a legitimate tactic?
How did we get to the point that at universities demanding “land acknowledgments” recognizing Native American claims, Jews are called colonizers and occupiers of their own ancestral homeland, to which resistance by any means is justified?
We got here through a confluence of ideological intolerance on campuses that has been building for decades, with Jews and the Jewish identity targeted. The moral rot on American campuses runs from the most to the least elite schools, and in a repeat of history, Jews are the universal enemy.
