A COLLEGE PROFESSOR SPEAKS OUT

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 18, 2023

WRITING IN THE NEW YORK TIMES OF ALL PLACES, UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA PROFESSOR EZEKIAL EMMANUEL SAYS THE FOLLOWING ABOUT THE UNFOLDING ANTSEMITISM ON SO MANY COLLEGE CAMPUSES: “WHEN A COALITION OF 34 STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS AT HARVARD CAN SAY THAT THEY  ‘HOLD THE ISRAELI REGIME ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL UNFOLDING VIOLENCE’ AND STUDENTS AT OTHER ELITE UNIVERSITIES BLAME ISRAEL ALONE FOR THE ATTACK HAMAS CARRIED OUT ON ISRAELIS ON OCTOBER 7, OR EVEN PRAISE THE MASSACRE, SOMETHING IS DEEPLY WRONG AT AMERICA’S COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES.”

    IS PROFESSOR EMMANUEL JUST LEARNING THIS? THESE INSTITUTIONS HAVE NOT HAD CURRICULA THAT SUPPORTS WHAT HAS BEEN A STANDARD AMERICAN EDUCATION FOR YEARS. INSTEAD, THEY ARE INTO WOMEN’S STUDIES, GAY STUDIES, CRITICAL RACE THEORY – ANYTHING THAT DEMOTES AND DEMMEANS THIS COUNTRY.

    THE WORD “REGIME” THAT IS USED BY THE PROTESTORS SHOULD BE APPLIED TO HAMAS AND IRAN. IRSAEL IS A DEMOCRACY, THE ONLY ONE IN THE REGION. ITS PEOPLE ELECT THEIR LEADERS. THE REGIMES IN THE AREA DON’T HOLD ELECTIONS AND ARE DICTATORS.

    THE MEDIA ARE PREDICTABLY FOLLOWING THEIR USUAL LINE, FOCUSING ON THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN GAZA, AS IF IT IS CAUSED BY ISRAEL AND NOT THE FAULT OF HAMAS.

    PRESDIENT BIDEN ARRIVED IN ISRAEL TODAY. WATCH HIM ENGAGE IN MORAL EQUIVALENCY AND MAKE MATTERS WORSE. I’M CAL THOMAS.
