Even more disturbing than all the pro-Hamas Muslim and Far Left student agitators supporting the Islamic terrorists at this university, are the pro-Hamas, self-hating, Jewish students who are protesting against Israel.
FYI: Washington University has a very large Jewish student population. Out of 8,100 undergraduates currently attending Washington University in St. Louis, approximately 24% (about 1,850) are Jewish, according to Washington University Hillel.
Danforth Dispatch A recent article in Washington University’s primary newspaper, Student Life, has caused debate on campus. The article, titled “Students and community members rally in support of Palestine, protest Israel’s actions in Gaza” was written as a report on last Friday’s on-campus pro-Palestine protest, which the Danforth Dispatch also reported on. Student Life’s article, which was published last Sunday, prompted a discussion over whether or not Student Life was far too favorable towards the protesters in its description of the protest and whether or not it had whitewashed the protest.
First of all, I would like to recommend that everyone read our article on the matter:https://t.co/N2sG1213TO

What is notable about Student Life’s article is not what it says, but what it doesn’t say. As reported by the Danforth Dispatch and recorded on film, the pro-Palestine protest included chants such the declarations that “Israel is a Terror State” and that “Zionism will fall.” The protestors also chanted the infamous “From the River to the Sea” chant, which has been used by Hamas.
Here is a number of the various chants that the protestors shouted. Among the chants are a declaring that “Zionism will fall”(0:03), a claim that associates nickels and dimes with “Israel’s crime”(0:32), and the infamous “from the River to the Sea” chant (1:30). pic.twitter.com/jys93bR50B

Furthermore, one of the speakers claimed “[Jews] changed the Torah, you changed the Bible,” and that there was no conflict between Muslims and “Jewish Arabs” until “you go get all the Europe Jewish.” None of these chants (all recorded in our Twitter thread linked below) are mentioned in the StudLife article, with the only chants mentioned being the relatively tame ones of “Palestine will never die” and “Israel out of Palestine.”

Furthermore, the fact that Israel has yet to begin its ground operation in Gaza (and is thus not “in” the country of Palestine) is not mentioned, nor correlated chant of the protestors that “all of Palestine” extends “from the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea” and thus includes the entire modern State of Israel. If these were noted, it would become obvious that the chant of “Israel out of Palestine” was in fact a call for the destruction of Israel.
The protest obviously shifted away from its initial subject (Gaza) and into a more generalized rally against Israel, and thus Student Life’s article can be considered negligent in its failure to report on the darker side of the rally. And it is rather curious that the negligence of Student Life just so happens to cast the rally in a more favorable light.

I most truly and humbly thank My Lord & Saviour that I’m NOT – repeat, NOT – having anything whatsoever to do with “higher education” nowadays!!!
All that BLATANT MARXISM (already theology students were being systematically mentally-harmed even at the time I was still “in school”) and its “political correctness” combined with thuggery is positively A-N-A-T-H-E-M-A to me, especially given how teachers all the way from pre-kindergarten through Ph.D doctorate level don’t hesitate to cudgel us with failing grades, public humiliation, physical violence (just look up Yvette Felarca at the “University of California” at Berkeley!!!) and even expelling us over such things. All those “institutions” are NOT there to “educate” but to INDOCTRINATE!!!!
[One simply can’t EVER count on the “justice” ‘systems’ getting things straightened out – and they’re EXTREMELY COSTLY!!!! Not for nothing that there is a saying nowadays that “the process is the punishment,” which strongly discourages legal action in the first place…]
These are positively EVIL times, especially if one lives in any city whatsoever (and they’re only going to get A GREAT DEAL WORSE until Christ’s Return)!!!! Again, thank God that I’m able to keep as low a profile as is the case nowadays (and other measures yet need to ideally be taken: CCTV, higher-quality door-locks, reinforced doors with metal braces, “safe rooms,” &c.)…

Agreed. I’m glad I no longer travel there. On an unrelated/related side note, that’s where I was 9/11.

You were at WashU?

Business-wise. I dealt with all Mid-west and Canadian universities with bio-medical research facilities. My flight from Chicago landed 10 minutes before national airspace was shutdown. Myself, I’m ODU ’83. 🙂

ODU?

Old Dominion Uni. Norfolk, VA

Today, the colleges you never see in the news are the good ones.
Steve Eisenberg says
I”m gonna guess Old Dominion U. Sounds like it could be a college.
Smooth Lee says
Maybe Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia?
BareNakedIslam says
Others have mentioned that school, too. Hillsdale College is probably one of the best because of its commitment to conservative values and principles.
