(May 18, 2025 / JPost) Imagine if the following were happening today: African-American students were being harassed and violently attacked on college campuses, nonstop. Massive Ku Klux Klan mobs were setting up encampments, blocking African-American students’ passage to classes, punching them in the head, and screaming for every African-American on the planet to be murdered.

Imagine if KKK professors were teaching blood libels that African-Americans are evil occupiers who have no right to live in their homes, and if KKK mobs were taking over libraries and stopping African-American students from studying during finals week. Meanwhile, the college presidents were doing virtually nothing to stop this violence, lawlessness, and discrimination.

Then, finally, along came a U.S. president who started following civil rights laws guaranteeing African-American students – and all students – safe campuses free from harassment and cracked down on the do-nothing colleges, including invoking civil rights penalties calling for cutting off federal funding to such universities.

And in response, instead of thanking the president, African-American “leaders” paid for and published a full-page ad in The New York Times maligning the president, demanding more freedoms and civil rights for the KKK mobs and recalcitrant universities, and saying that campus racism was being “used as an excuse” to weaken higher education.

It sounds ridiculous. But substitute the words “African-American students” for “Jewish students” and replace “KKK mobs” with “pro-Hamas mobs,” and you have precisely the dystopian situation that we see today.

Jewish students have been assaulted, prevented from going to classes and even walking across campus, and subjected to pro-Hamas mobs’ constant calls to murder every Jew on the planet (globalize the intifada). They have been thrown out of libraries, directly threatened with violence (including to set Jewish students on fire), and have to deal with antisemitic professors who indoctrinate students that the Jewish people are genocidal evil occupiers of their own Jewish homeland.
