US Campus Anti-Semitism and Where the $$$$ Comes From

Eric Mandel has an article in the Jerusalem Post dated July 2, which describes the problem of campus anti-Semitism in the US and where much of the funding for the anti-Zionist (anti-Jew) propaganda comes from. While this doesn’t cover every single aspect of the problem, it is accurate and represents an important contribution to the discussion of our campus problems, of which anti-Semitism is a major problem.

Previously, I wrote an article in New English Review that compared the current left-wing radicalization on our campuses concerning Black Lives Matter and other issues to the anti-Israel movement. It is part of what we call the red-green alliance (red for communism and green for Islam).

As Mr Mandel points out, we may have a strategic relationship with countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia, but that doesn’t mean we should allow them to send their oil dollars back to the US funding radical, anti-Semitic, anti-American movements on our campuses. That includes Middle East Studies departments, which are notorious in their anti-West, anti-Israeli philosophies. This is just one of the great scandals in academia today that universities accept funding from the above countries to spread their toxic poison to our children.

And as I pointed out in my referenced article on the red-green alliance on campus, the pro-Palestinian movement has forged links with the radical and anti-Semitic Black Lives Matter organization.

Also note that in Mr Mandel’s article, there is no reference to white, right-wing, racist groups like the KKK or neo-Nazis. Not that these people don’t exist, which is unfortunate, but they have no sway on college campuses and do not not constitute the greatest threat in terms of anti-Semitism in general-even though many on the left, including many Jewish organizations, would have us believe they do. Indeed, if we are going to talk about that aspect of anti-Semitism, then we must also talk about the anti-Semitism that is found-and currently being manifested- in parts of the black community, which is just as much a problem.

It doesn’t take too much reading between the lines of Mr Mandel’s article to figure out some common threads when it comes to US campus anti-Semitism; they are, anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Students for Justice in Palestine, Gulf states, BDS, Muslim Brotherhood, Middle East studies departments, and on and on. To that list I would have added the various chapters of the Muslim Student Association, Muslim Student Union, General Union of Palestinian Students, etc.

But the left and Jewish groups like the Anti Defamation League, the Jewish Federation, and Hillel just cannot bring themselves to say it: The overwhelming majority of anti-Semitism on our campuses, as well as around the world, is driven by Islamic interests. It is they who are the biggest purveyors, it is they who have linked up with groups like Black Lives Matter, and it is they who have formed the green part of the red-green alliance.
