Do ‘Death to Israel’ chants signal death to America?

Since Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre of 1400 Jews, universities across the country revealed their true colors by allowing or raising the Hamas flag. 50 years of neo-Marxist infiltration, and now Hamas death chants, show up in graduation disruptions. Students and outside anarchists who ignore, deny or even approve of that gory reality are part of a coordinated network to advance antisemitic agendas reminiscent of the World War II Nazi “Final Solution.” Who funds these so-called peaceful protesters and encampments? Recently revealed, famous families like Soros, Rockefeller, and Pritzker who undermine the free enterprise republic that got them rich. The same who corrupt our justice system to oppose law and order.

Should we be surprised? When university professors fail to teach Jefferson’s U.S. Constitution, but indoctrinate Alinsky’s Neo-Marxist revolution? When schools don’t teach history of two world wars and religious motives for 9/11? When industries and sports incorporate disrespect for the U.S. flag? When our Administration withholds arms to ally Israel while giving billions to terrorist Iran? When media, corporations, schools, and government are silent to condemn Hamas while protesters cheer “Death to Israel!” and “Death to America!”?

But there is hope for our republic. Major donors are halting funds to out-of-control universities. Students are replacing the Hamas flag with the Stars and Stripes and drowning out anti-American chants with “USA! USA!” Politicians are pushing for Federal defunding of aberrant universities and student scholarships. Perhaps students will learn from history, reconsider, repent, and value human life — and their own futures.
