The recent outpouring of support for Hamas across the nation’s universities seems to have caught many people from all classes by surprise. How is it possible that thousands of what were thought (by many foolish individuals) to be our best and brightest, the future leaders of our nation to openly support an organization that could commit acts unknown in the Western world since the Thirty Years War in the seventeenth century? Were those students somehow cut off from the news services around the world who presented facts, images, and interviews of those who were attacked? Were they unable to hear leaders from around the world who have seen the images of the rapes, burnings, and butchery from the cameras of the Hamas murderers themselves? Or, had somehow, the accepted standards of conduct suddenly been rejected by those students as they marched and sounded like the Nazi storm troopers of the mid-1930s?
Suddenly millions of citizens were shocked by those young people, in many cases their very own children marching in support of terrorists, rapists, arsonists and murderers. They were like the parents who suddenly realized what was being fed to their children during the pandemic as they were able to see on their computers the day-to-day propaganda being pushed by the radicalized teachers in their very schools. But should they have been surprised? Weren’t there warning signs for all to see going back for years?
One of the major warning signs was the change in course of the ACLU. Since its founding over one-hundred years ago, the ACLU has had a zig-zag course of who it supported and who it favored. The linked article below follows that course up to today’s organization which seems to have a problem with the Bill of Rights. It is a disappointing charge of course that started well over a decade ago and one which reflects the product the major law schools are putting out today. It reflects a mind set that is much closer to that of a totalitarian rather than our Founding Fathers and which aims to overturn the very basic concepts of our society. There is a direct line between the new generation of attorneys and those students who celebrated the slaughter of innocents last month.
