by Robert Spencer
The fruit of indoctrination that passes for education.

This is the fruit of the hard-left indoctrination that passes for university education today.
“Columbia University student demonstrator taken away on stretcher as anti-Israel protests rage on,” by Steven Vago and Patrick Reilly, New York Post, April 20, 2024:
…Two days after more than 100 students were arrested when
the NYPD raided the tent encampment on the Ivy League campus, roughly
200 demonstrators were still going strong on Saturday, chanting, holding
signs and waving Palestinian flags.
At least three people were arrested, the NYPD confirmed. Two were
cuffed for disorderly conduct and a third was slapped with a summonses
for a sound reproduction device.
“Up, up with liberation. Down, down with occupation,” they yelled through the locked campus gate on W. 115th and Broadway….
“We want justice, you say how? Stop arming Israel now!” another group chanted.
“We demand that Columbia sever academic ties with Israeli
universities and we demand that Columbia stop censoring and intimidating
students who are standing up and advocating for Palestinian
liberation,” one student yelled through the gate to the crowd that had
gathered on the other side outside of campus.
Over 100 students were arrested at Columbia University on Thursday night.
A line of police officers in riot helmets watched on. A handful of
Israel supporters stood across Broadway — including one who was doused
with fake blood for engaging with the pro-Palestinian students.
Avi Lichtschein, 37, of Manhattan was walking his dog when the group
surrounded him and shouted, “We don’t want no Zionists here!”…
Another pro-Israel bystander Ross Glick, 50, told The Post his
grandparents were Holocaust survivors. The Upper East Side resident grew
up in the Midwest during the first intifada but said “this is more
concerning.”
“There’s no doubt that there’s a lot of innocent people dying in Gaza
but to call it a genocide….What about the 6,000 Muslims that were
gassed by Assad?” Glick said.
“If you don’t like it go to Gaza,” he said about the protesters.
The protesters, he said, don’t want a peaceful solution.
Students continued to occupy the lawn area at the Ivy League school on Saturday..
“You don’t hear them talk about peace or co-existence. [It’s] death to Israel,” he said….
Columbia University and Barnard College faculty slammed Thursday’s arrests and demanded that their records be expunged.
The American Association of University Professors at the sister
schools issued a statement following a “mass emergency meeting” of
faculty on Friday.
“We condemn in the strongest possible terms the Administration’s
suspension of students engaged in peaceful protest and their arrest by
the New York City Police Department,” according to the statement
provided to The Post.
They said Columbia has an “absolute obligation” to protect students’ freedom of speech….
Yeah, except the freedom of speech of those with whom they disagree.
If these were Trump supporters or foes of jihad violence who were
demonstrating, the American Association of University Professors would
be silent, or cheering on their incarceration.
