1. Why college students are supporting terrorists
A lot of us have felt that college campuses and administrations haven’t been quite right for a long time now. That was thrown into sharp relief last month when some college students began tearing down fliers of Israeli hostages and shouting insults and slurs at Jews.
Jordan Peterson recently appeared on Bill Maher’s show and had a good explanation for why college students are siding with Palestine after the brutal Hamas attack in Oct. I think a lot of things Jordan says are well worth listening to – this, especially.
He said, “People have bought this idiot meta-Marxism, which is that the way to look at every social relationship that people ever have is through the lens of power. And we can put that squarely at the feet of universities.”
He goes on to list some examples:
“Marriage is a patriarchal institution, business is nothing but oppression, and you have to view every single situation that emerged historically as oppressors versus oppressed.”
And then,
“Once you get that, which you get in about two minutes if you sit in a course that teaches that sort of thing, you have a lens to moralize the whole world through.
And then you see the situation – the leftists have already decided that Palestinians are the victims, and, as you pointed out, if you're the victim, then you're morally righteous. And even more conveniently, if you stand for the victim, then you're morally righteous regardless of what you do with your own life.
And that's pretty much what university students are taught from the time they enter the university classroom and that's how they orient themselves morally. And that's at the hands of the radical left.”
He also issued a warning for Democrats.
“One of the things the Democrats also have to pay the price for, I would say, is their absolute refusal to draw a line between the moderate Democrats and the extremists. They're completely incapable of doing that. I've talked to 40 senators and congressmen in the past five years. I asked them all the same question, including RFK, he wouldn't answer either.
‘When does the Left go too far?’
Well, we certainly bloody well saw it the last month, didn't we? ‘Cuz they got the oppressor-oppressive narrative a little mucked up, we might say. And the consequences of that are going to unfold pretty brutally over the next few months.”
2. Totally unrelated
Jessica Rosenberg is a transgender rabbi who thinks the main threat in Israel isn’t the terrorist group that murdered its citizens last month.
So many questions here. My first is why does CNN care about this person so much?
Are they bashing Jews by featuring a person with some clear issues? Or, to the contrary, are they supporting Israel by featuring Jessica as the anti-war voice?
And why go to the trouble to rename yourself Jessica and wear a dress if you’re not going to shave that beard?
Ok, my head hurts now.
