Self loathing Jews, the greatest threat to the future of Jews and Israel. The liberal Jews of America prefer to support their enemies in the name of democracy. As the Muslims build entire Islamic communities in America, Jews will wonder why antisemitism is out of control.

Wow. Crazy. There are a few basics that must be repeated and repeated. 1) We all know how it ends when the Jews don't have a state. 2) We will fight by any means necessary to ensure Israel continues to exist. 3) Islamism seeks the eradication not only of Jews, you useful idiots, but of Christians and Western values. They are barbarians and must be defeated. 4) Defeat does not mean a proportionate response followed by ceasefire. It means eradication, to the extent possible.

Note: Not all Muslim people are Islamists. The peaceful majority are not. But Islamism, the political version of Islam which claims a Divine Right to Kill unbelievers in the name of Allah, certainly is the problem. We Debunked the Nazis who claimed The Divine Right to Kill by The Norse Gods very successfully in The UK twelve years ago. I would do the same with Far Right Jews who claim The Divine Right to Kill to support The Far-Right Elements of Religious Zionism (Note also that most Zionists are not Far Right either, and we simply see Israel as a vital place of safety for all Jews). But when Religion and Far-Right politics combine, both of them can be Debunked easily by Logic and simple Empirical Reason.

I should have written "Radical Islamism . . . " Thanks for your comment.

No Problem. There is no need for you to qualify. There is no such thing as 'Moderate Islamism', because all Islamism is Political Islam (being the -ism), and therefore believes in The Divine Right to Kill to further the Spread of Islam, and all Islamism is therefore Radical and Barbarous. So there is no need for any qualification. Best wishes.

I am an amateur too, but the logic is easy and anyone can follow. Your original note here, 'Wow, Crazy' is great! Also, you acknowledge that Islamism (political Islam) is not the same thing as the Religion of Islam. Well done and Best wishes.

Until every Jewish Student stands up against the erroneous teachings and every pro-Israel alumina stops donating money to keep these bastions of hate, there will be no change. The teachers and professors are continuing the work of the UNRWA teachers. IT HAS TO STOP!!!!!! NOW!!!

Judaic Studies has drifted into a woke satisfying and worshipping condemnation of Israel in various forms The professors mentioned are the worst examples of self hating Jewish intellectuals but there are many others who’s so called scholarship equally reeks of Jewish self hatred

They will go the way of the Jews who thought they would be safe because they were good Germans.

I do remember well how life was for the Jews before the rebirth of our beloved Israel in 1948....I was a child during WW2 and never forget when my mother found out that her family in Poland was asesinated by the nazis!....These Jewish professors forgot WW2 and the Shoa ?

Right NOW, history is repeating itself! It’s Germany in 1938 all over again! I too am a WWII BABY and grew up being told to me by my Father who was a Jew and served in the military. I am PROUDLY a Jew as well and when. I see what’s happening with Antisemitism NOW, I’m reminded what Hitler said in 1932, “I will slowly take their RIGHTS AWAY FROM THEM and by the time they (THE JEWS) they realize it, it will be TOO LATE”. Here we go again, accept this time Antisemitism is world wide!

This has all been going on for a long time. The events of Oct 7 have only brought the issue into sharper focus, like a ruptured boil.

Please stop thoughtlessly lumping Jewish professors and Jewish studies programs together. There are plenty of Jewish studies programs and Jewish professors that support Israel. This article promotes stereotyping to the extreme detriment of many involved.

I don't think the author was being thoughtless. It's just that every Kapo Jewish Professor is more powerful than a thousand Israel-supporting Jewish professors, who are perceived as simply "talking their book". Just as I would give much more credence to a black processor speaking out against DEI, or to a Hispanic professor speaking out against uncontrolled immigration.

Franky, any university program that ends in the word "Studies" is simply a politicized take on the subject matter and the government should refuse to issue grants, scholarships and loans for them all.

President Trump WILL stop funding Universities who condone ANTISEMITISM! He made that very clear by defunding Harvard!

PS…you nailed it perfectly by calling Jewish professors “KAPOS”! That’s exactly what they are

This is one of the most painful, depressing essays about the Jewish world that I have read in quite a while. And I read a lot. But I really haven't had my nose rubbed in what still passes for Middle Eastern/ Jewish Studies in the academic world today.

Since Trump took over I have been feeling such relief: it felt like the pendulum was swinging hard in the other direction. No more DEI, no more UNRUH, no more girls are boys if they say they are. But thanks to this essay I've been forced to recognize how deep and entrenched the antisemitic rot really is. Just like the madrassas that reliably crank out a new crop of suicide bombers with every graduating class, American universities have been retooled to create new woke antisemitic zombies every year who believe that torturing and killing children is a legitimate form of resistance—as long as they are Jewish.

It's clear that raising Jewish kids with only Tikkun Olam as their moral compass has not given them the skillset or strength to resist the antisemitic avalanche that hits them when they reach college. Instead they swallow the propaganda, internalize the hatred, and become dangerous enemies of the Jewish community.

So, how do we respond? What would you do? Please share a thought or two...

And unless we as a people stop them, so will we, their moral affliction will end up killing all of us if we allow this to continue for very much longer.

Message to Jewish Leaders of Liberal and Anti-Zionist Jewish groups and Organisations: Do you know that the Military Kit exists to Run the leaders of organisations such as yours, by replacing the consciousness and the targets’ inner voice, often for years without the targets for Nazi Anti-Semitic abuse even knowing? This is to create Jewish Manchurian Kapo-type-candidates by Nazi State-Elements to attack The Jewish State from within.

In all their wisdom the Founding Father's probably never considered that the right of free speech would be so widely abused. I am confident that the FF never considered that by shining a light on God-given, natural rights would provide a safe haven for lies, half truths and hate. It is our duty as moral, ethical Jewish citizens to amass and counter the hate speech of the Islamists and their supporters. We need to prove that the FF judgement about free speech was indeed correct and essential. Universities must revert to their job of teaching and provoking serious, common sense thought and speech, instead of being depositaries of falsehoods and hate speech. Shame on the Jewish donors supporting this anti-humanitarian, anti-Semetic, anti-American activity. For our part, as Jews and moral Christians, it is our duty to speak out frequently and loudly.

Leftist Jews are traitors, be they Israeli or American. And just as the Maccabees fought against the Hellenistic Jews maybe it’s time for another civil war against Jews who sell out the security of their fellow Jews for either selfish or politically ideological reasons. The end result is the same, they present a clear and present danger to the security of all Jews.
