Good luck with that. For the last three years, this administration has folded like a $5 beach chair. I am not expecting anything to change.

Only the Chinese have bought more of our congressional leadership than the Israelis.

And decades of such 'investments' are going to pay dividends for Israel now.

But for how long, maybe 2-4 months.

Then the media will be looking for a fresh angle in their war coverage. One far more sympathetic to the Hamas cause. Especially with all the dead Israelis civilians long buried.

Plus, don't underestimate the latent anti Jewish sentiment found in our black community.

Thats surprising bc I would thought that Israel would be number one. They control both of our political parties and you cant get elected president without going to touch the wall.

This might have some long-term effects. Only a couple of data points, but I have 2-3 moderate-lefty Jewish friends who started listening to Ben Shapiro suddenly and are rethinking their loyalty to the LWNJs.

There's no anti Jewish sentiment in the black community. What Israel has done in Gaza is atrocious. Clear human rights violations that we should not support.

That doesn't mean what Hamas has done is acceptable. It, too is atrocious and unacceptable.

Criticism of the Israeli government is in bounds. It's crazy to call that criticism antisemitism. It's also crazy to punish all Palestinians. Sucks for those people. They are getting screwed by Hamas, Israel and us.

Having said that, Hamas crossed a line over the weekend that the punishment has to be so egregious that they will never do that again.

---

That blanket denial is probably not anywhere near nuanced enough to reflect the truth.

I wasn't a big fan of Bill Ackman until today! Good on you Bill by putting those Harvard turds who are out rallying in support of Hamas. No job for you clowns. Bill's a HBS alum and is Jewish.

Penn's Leadership Under Fire From Prominent Donors
The attack by Hamas on Israel compounded the backlash to a Palestinian literary festival, held on campus, which Jewish groups decried as antisemitic.
Since the Hamas attack in Israel, prominent Jewish alumni have increased pressure on university officials to speak out on the war. Tempers have been particularly high at the University of Pennsylvania, where the campus was already up in arms over a recent Palestinian literary conference.
This week, influential alumni, angry over the university's response to the conference, called for the resignation of the school's president, Liz Magill, and the university's chairman, Scott L. Bok.
The effort is led by Marc Rowan, the chief executive of Apollo Global Management and chair of the university's Wharton School of Business board of trustees. An alumnus, he has donated more than $50 million to the school. But he has called on donors to cut off funds.
The controversy began last month over a festival showcasing Palestinian art and culture, which Penn did not officially sponsor but held on its campus in Philadelphia. Jewish groups, ranging from the campus Hillel organization to the American Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League, objected to some of the speakers and content.

Ex-Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman ends donations to University of Penn, condemns school's 'moral relativism' on Hamas
'Silence is antisemitism, and antisemitism is hate, the very thing higher ed was built to obviate,' the former governor wrote
Former Utah Governor and University of Pennsylvania alumni Jon Huntsman Jr. called out his alma mater for remaining silent after Hamas, a terrorist group backed by Iran, carried out attacks in Israel.
"To the outsider, it appears that Penn has become deeply adrift in ways that make it almost unrecognizable," Huntsman wrote in an email obtained by The Daily Pennsylvanian. "Moral relativism has fueled the university's race to the bottom and sadly now has reached a point where remaining impartial is no longer an option."
"The University's silence in the face of reprehensible and historic Hamas evil against the people of Israel (when the only response should be outright condemnation) is a new low," Huntsman continued. "Silence is antisemitism, and antisemitism is hate, the very thing higher ed was built to obviate."
Huntsman's family has donated millions of dollars to Penn over the years, with Huntsman's father, Huntsman Sr, giving "$40 million in 1998" to the Wharton Business Schools, according to The Daily Pennsylvanian. It was the "largest-ever gift given to a business school" at the time, per the outlet.
But those years of donating to Penn have come to an end for Huntsman Jr. and his siblings, he wrote.
"Consequently, Huntsman Foundation will close its checkbook on all future giving to Penn something that has been a source of enormous pride for now three generations of graduates," the former governor wrote.
"My siblings join me in this rebuke," Huntsman added.

At least Penn apparently has yet to follow Rice's lead and kick Hillel off campus for refusing to admit queer Palestinians.

This is from NY Times. It has been edited for this space. The longer article is worth reading. Students who glory in free expression feel that others who are critical of what they say should not speak.

How Harvard Students Became the Center of a Free Speech Fight
A truck with a billboard displayed their names and photos, and critics put out do-not-hire lists. The students say it's a campaign to shut them up.

On a campus already bitterly divided, the statement poured acid all over Harvard Yard.

A coalition of more than 30 student groups posted an open letter on the night of the Hamas attack, saying that Israel was "entirely responsible" for the violence that ended up leaving more than 1,400 dead, most of them civilians.

The letter, posted on social media before the extent of the killings was known, did not include the names of individual students.

But within days, students affiliated with those groups were being doxxed, their personal information posted online. Siblings back home were threatened. Wall Street executives demanded a list of student names to ban their hiring. And a truck with a digital billboard paid for by a conservative group circled Harvard Square, flashing student photos and names, under the headline, "Harvard's Leading Antisemites."

The students had to contend with "people's lives being ruined, people's careers being ruined, people's fellowships being ruined," said one student whose organization signed the letter, in an interview.

The truck is operated by Accuracy in Media, a conservative group that has also deployed such trucks at other campuses, like Stanfordand the University of California, Berkeley.

"It's ironic that students on the campus where Facebook was invented are shocked that their names are publicly available," Adam Guillette, president of Accuracy in Media, said. "We're merely amplifying their message."

The group is not done. It has purchased domain names for Harvard students associated with
the letter and is setting up individual websites for them. Each site will call
for the university to punish the students.

Students' names were also exposed last week through a website featuring a "College Terror List, a Helpful Guide for Employers" compiled by Maxwell Meyer, a 2022 Stanford graduate.

Mr. Meyer, 23, said in an interview that his information had come from public sources and tips sent to an email address. He said he had no affiliation with Accuracy in Media.

There is little the university can do, however, about the truck, which has been careful to stay on public streets. And the lists of names were compiled from publicly available sources.

New York Law Firm Rejects Three Pro-Hamas Law Students

Prestigious New York law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell rescinded job offers it had previously made to three Ivy League students after the students signed letters publicly supporting Hamas's brutal attacks against Israel.

The firm's decision mirrors the one made by Chicago-based law firm Winston & Strawn LLP last week Winston & Strawn rescinded a New York University law student's offer of employment after she emailed in a school newsletter that Hamas's murderous spree was "necessary."

"These statements are simply contrary to our firm's values and we thus concluded that rescinding these offers was appropriate in upholding our responsibility to provide a safe and inclusive work environment for all Davis Polk employees," Davis Polk managing partner Neil Barr said in an email.

"To ensure we continue to maintain a supportive and inclusive work environment, the student leaders responsible for signing on to these statements are no longer welcome in our firm; and their offers of employment have thus been rescinded," the company continued in a statement.

Although Davis Polk did not identify the students by name, it said that the three attended Harvard and Columbia universities. Last week, 31 of Harvard's student organizations signed a letter blaming Israel for "unfolding violence." Columbia's Students for Justice in Palestine praised Hamas's "historic" ambush, and students at schools such as Princeton University, Northwestern University, and Georgetown University have also celebrated Hamas's slaughter of Israelis.


American employers have so far responded firmly to students who sympathize with terrorists. Michael Broukhim, the co-founder of FabFitFun, said on October 12, "Discriminating against terrorist supporters is the most comically easy decision I'll ever have to make as a CEO." U.S. Court of Federal Claims Judge Matthew Solomson said last week that, "anyone who endorses or approves or otherwise gives comfort to Hamas, should not be hired."Jonathan Neman, CEO of Sweetgreen, said he wanted the names of students who issued Harvard's pro-Hamas letter, "so I know never to hire these people."

The students who haven't scrubbed their affiliations with pro-Palestinian organizations from the internet have defended their anti-Israel statements. NYU law students rallied behind Ryna Workman, the student whose job offer was rescinded, claiming that the firm's decision was "violence." The same students decried NYU this week for putting "people of color and marginalized communities on campus" in danger, "for not protecting Ryna as a student and important member of our community."

Professors have also joined in on protesting Israel. A Cornell University professor called Hamas's ambush "exhilarating," and a George Washington University professor glorified Hamas terrorists as "martyrs."

Bull

Blacks have been openly slandering and attacking individual Jews for several years now.

Hamas clearly started this nightmare. There can be zero debate on what they have done.

Worse, Hamas uses their own civilians as body shields. Have done so for a long time.

Let Eqypt, Syria and other Muslim countries provide refuge for these civilians trapped by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. BUT THEY WON'T.

As they do not want a repeat of the nightmare of what happened in Jordan years ago when the PLO mixed in with refugees challenged the government for control of the country.

---

Bull on you. Whites have been openly slandering Jews since longer than my lineage.

There are some whoppers in the last 80 years we can point to.

Even making such an idiotic post makes me feel dirty. But for sure, I can support the statement.

I think many groups have been racist in the past, but don't be the tired trope of a (maybe) black guy pretending to speak for all black Americans, or know what all black Americans hold as sentiment.

It is undeniable that black Americans are quite conservative socially, and especially in some areas racist towards Jews.

Jewish anti-war protesters entered the Capitol building today wanting an immediate cease fire. A handful were arrested for assaulting police officers. Will all of these people be arrested and indicted by the Department of Justice? Of course not. Most of the protesters are registered Democrats I'm sure.

The two-tiered justice system is here. Not much can be done about this until November 2024.

Deviant liberals are not 100% committed to their house of card agendas...so they walk it back when the have to. They, like many, realize that in this world of of immorality and lies...nobody remembers tomorrow what you may have said today.

Hamas killed over 20 Americans and has kidnapped at least as many.

it is a US problem .

Don't like the way all this has unfolded. Reminds me too much on we constantly get dragged into foreign wars.

But at this point we have no choice.

It's all in or all out.

And we no longer have the option of all out .

The incredibly bungled Afghanistan evacuation sent a message to our enemies throughout the world .

A message of weakness.

Is this post serious?

Do you not recall Jesse Jackson's "Hymetown?"

Do you not recall Al Sharpton launching his career with terrorist attacks against Jews?

Jews are second to Asians in black-launched hate crimes.

LWNJs cry "anti-Semitism" about criticisms of the policy of a George Soros backed DAs, so pretty sure criticizing the Israeli government is in line with this standard.

---

Biden has earned Mitch's vote.

Which is crazy cuz there's hours of Biden video being a racist against blacks as much as Obama was a racist towards whites.

And yet people bend the knee to racist Biden and support him while he literally oppressed the group for decades and "their jungle" in his words

Two days after the Hamas attack they honored Indigenous Peoples Day.

Who Decides Penn's Future: Donors or the University?
Some alumni want the president to resign. They are angry about a Palestinian conference and Penn's response to the Hamas attacks as well as D.E.I. and transgender rights.

In the two days after Hamas killed hundreds of men, women and children in a surprise attack on Israel, the University of Pennsylvania had not reached out to its students or alumni with an official statement.
But it did post a message on Instagram, honoring Native and Indigenous people and "their culture, history, and importance as members of the Penn community."
That post set off one of the university's largest donors, Marc Rowan, the chief of the private equity giant Apollo Global Management.
"So this weekend, while 1,200 Israelis were being butchered and murdered and raped, we tweeted as a university about Indigenous Peoples' Day" he said in a CNBC interview.

From NR:

A truck drove near campus with video-screen panels displaying faces of students who were members of groups that signed on to a statement blaming the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel. The panels labeled the students "Columbia's Leading Antisemites."


The student protesters claimed the photos were lifted from a "private and secure" online platform for students at the School of International and Public Affairs and are demanding "immediate legal support for affected students" and "a commitment to student safety, well being and privacy."

Some media outlets and watchdog groups have published the names of students who authored or signed onto anti-Israel letters in the wake of the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks.

One student group celebrated Hamas's "historic" massacre of Israeli civilians, calling it a long-overdue "counteroffensive" against Israel's purported apartheid regime. The statement called on the university to cut off its partnerships with higher-learning institutions in Israel and slammed university administrators' messages condemning the terrorist attacks.

"Yesterday was an unprecedented historic moment for the Palestinians of Gaza, who tore through the wall that has been suffocating them in one of the most densely-populated areas on Earth for the past 16 years an open-air prison blockaded by Israeli soldiers via land, air and sea," read a statement by Columbia's chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP).

"Palestinians launched a counter-offensive against their settler-colonial oppressor which receives billions of US dollars annually in military aid and possesses one of the world's most robust surveillance and security apparatuses. Any omission of this context any rhetoric of 'an unprovoked Palestinian attack" is shamefully misleading," it added.

The students involved have faced backlash from some employers who said they would never hire individuals involved in those efforts. Several students have had their job offers rescinded for their involvement in pro-Palestinian or anti-Israel rhetoric.
The university launched a task force on doxxing and student safety on Tuesday.

A Warning to the Law Schools on Anti-Semitism
Major law firms tell deans to protect students and resist anti-Semitism.
The recent outbreak of open anti-Semitism on U.S. college campuses has been shocking, and it speaks to the anti-Western indoctrination that has been cultivated for decades at American universities. Also shocking has been the failure of these schools to protect their Jewish students; Cornell University canceled classes on Friday after a student made violent threats against Jews.
This demands a response at the schools and beyond, and some good news on that score arrived this week in a letter from leading law firms to the deans of U.S. law schools. The letter was first signed by 24 major firms, such as Sullivan & Cromwell and Davis Polk, and as of Thursday afternoon had 60 signatories and counting.
"Over the last several weeks, we have been alarmed at reports of anti-Semitic harassment, vandalism and assaults on college campuses, including rallies calling for the death of Jews and the elimination of the State of Israel. Such anti-Semitic activities would not be tolerated at any of our firms," the letter says.
The letter calls on the deans to protect "the free exchange of ideas" and warns that "as employers who recruit from each of your law schools, we look to you to ensure your students who hope to join our firms after graduation are prepared to be an active part of workplace communities that have zero tolerance policies for any form of discrimination or harassment, much less the kind that has been taking place on some law school campuses." That's a not-so-subtle warning that anti-Semites won't be welcome on recruiting visits.

Typical hysteria. I seriously doubt Universities are turning students into Communists. While there have been incidents of antisemitism on the mostly ivy league schools it is not that big and a tiny fraction of enrollment.

Tulane had a problem last month and it was three or four sympathizers who battled a few supporters.

The press and the RWNJ's continually take everything out of proportion.

On a slow news day the 24/7's show videos of protests as if this was happening every day.

Most students of college age are usually vocal about violence, see Vietnam demonstrations that brought down LBJ.

That would make a lot of sense were it connected to reality.

Reality is, wokeness (critical theories) has not just seized control of campus, but extirpated any dissent from campuses, which are in many respect the least tolerant places in the country. Social justice anti-semites are not just tolerated, but given preferential treatment. They are given safe spaces, while conservatives 9among the staunches supporters of Israel, btw...) are not allowed to speak on campus. Conservatives, who are STILL a plurality in the country at large, are by most surveys about 3-6% of campus faculty. Remove those who are sitting in endowed positions at a handful of conservative think-tanks, and you cut that number substantially. Outright progressives are a near super-majority among faculty, and dominate the staff positions at very high percentages. (which is why we see what we are seeing).

Look at what polling shows about the changes in commitment to free speech among our youth. Shocking. we've allowed campuses to turn out petty little fascists at an alarming rate.

The public is not going to stand for the status quo, no matter how much you deny it being what it obviously is.
