Do the Gen Z pro-Palestine protesters even know what they’re screaming, yelling, and encamping about? Definitely not.
A Columbia University student who rushed down to NYU’s campus in solidarity with protesters there said on camera that she actually had no idea what they were protesting, eventually admitting she needed to be “more educated” on the issue.
I’m sure that’s very much the case with her countless classmates donning keffiyehs and chanting anti-Israel slogans.
Forget the three r’s, these Ivy League elitists are schooled in the three i’s: ignorance, indoctrination and Instagram.
International politics are complicated, and yet Gen Z has appointed themselves as experts before even graduating from college or bothering to learn any of the details.
Diplomats, negotiators, and world leaders have failed to solve the decades-long conflict.
But don’t worry — the Zoomers have everything figured out!
When I was at Columbia during this week’s protests, I saw signs like “dykes 4 divest,” “gays for Gaza,” and “lesbians for liberation.”
