Good day all. Since the October 7th attack on Israel, and their declaration of war on Hamas, we have seen how the Left has gone full on Nazi, especially on college and university campuses. They have been outright supporting the actions of Hamas and calling for the destruction of Israel.
On many of these campuses, there have been attacks on Jewish students. In one instance at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, you had a group of foreign students blocking Jewish students from entering a building with outright threats. Initially, the school administration was saying that this unacceptable and that they would expel the students involved. That lasted about 30 seconds and they walked back the statement. Here are those details from Fox News:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology administrators recently explained they would not suspend students who participated in an Israel-Hamas war rally over concern that some of them would be deported as they are in the country on student visas
Although school officials threatened students with suspension if they broke the rules, MIT President Sally Kornbluth said in a statement they would be following through with suspensions from “non-academic activities,” as suspension from enrollment at the school could cause “visa issues” for non-American students.
Why am I not surprised? If you are wondering who these foreign students are and where they came from, you won’t be amiss in thinking they are Arabs. Most of them are getting their education paid for by the Saudi’s and other Arab governments. Those same governments also dump tens of millions of dollars into these universities in “Donations.” If MIT kicked these potential terrorists out, that money would dry up. However, they aren’t considering all the American donors, and they are flat our enraged over the actions of MIT and other universities. Here are those details from Fox News:
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was blasted this week after its administrators acknowledged the university stopped short of expelling anti-Israel student protesters because of “visa issues.”
The MIT president, Sally Kronbluth, gave a mealy-mouth response that boiled down to “We don’t want to see our donations from rich Arab oil states dry up of we kick these terrorists out, so we’re putting Arab money over Jewish students safety.”
MIT was quickly criticized for the decision because, prior to the disruptive protest, the school threatened to expel any students who acted in violation of its guidance and policies regarding such actions. Kornbluth’s statement, they argued, appeared to contradict that previous promise.
“So MIT was going to suspend these students for clearly and deliberately violating the rules after repeated warnings, but decided not to because it could lead to their visas being revoked,” A.G. Hamilton, a conservative commentator and author, wrote on X. “It seems that’s something the students should have considered beforehand…”
“‘Visa issues’ are not only a reason to suspend these pro-Hamas foreigners from school, but also to deport them immediately,” Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., added in a post of his own.
Good luck getting the Biden Maladministration to do that. They have been sucking up to the Islamic world since day one. (probably due to all the Obama holdovers and bring backs)
Israel War Room, a group that tracks attacks against Jewish people, posted a video Sunday which appeared to show anti-Israel protesters boasting that they successfully got the university to “back down” from its prior threats. The group said in the post: “Who is in charge, MIT?”
Well, you generally have a bunch of Leftists, Communists, Marxists, Liberals and Democrats, and most of them have no problem with what happened on October 7th. They do have a problem with Israel’s decision to put an end to Hamas and other Palestinian/Arab terror groups in the Gaza Strip and the west bank.
“MIT didn’t want to punish antisemitic foreign students harassing American Jews on campus because suspension would lead to deportation under the student visa rules,” conservative lawyer Marina Medvin said on X. “So MIT chose to help the antisemites instead of punishing them. Morality run amok.”
“MIT is one of the most prestigious universities in the U.S. These days, foreigners make up about 30% of the MIT student body,” she continued. “Jewish students, on the other hand, make up about 6% of the MIT student body — a campus minority.”
I was rather surprised by that statistic since Jews are about 1% of of the population. Asians, on the other hand, are about 6% and they are constantly treated like second class citizens by Universities. (See Harvard and other Ivy league schools denying admissions to Asians because they are Asian) Still, refusing to protect Jewish students from a group known to be violent towards Jews does not look good.
Meanwhile, Pro-Israel student group MIT Israel Alliance and its supporters have blasted school staff in recent weeks for having “no clear response” to the Coalition Against Apartheid’s alleged repeated harassment of Jewish students and staff members.
In a statement, the pro-Jewish group said, “With each passing day, MIT admin’s silence makes Jewish and Israeli students feel unsafe at MIT.”
Frankly, these students should be considering concealed carry. Of course, since this is Massachusetts, the 2nd Amendment has been all but revoked. You know that if a Jewish student said “Screw it!” and started packing, the MIT administration would boot him or her out in a hot minute, regardless if the student even had to use it to protect him or herself.
MIT staff separately told Fox News Digital that the administration has “received additional complaints about conduct by individual protesters and counterprotesters, and will be following up on those promptly.”
I have no doubt that they will go after the pro-Israel students, who, as far as I am aware, did not commit unlawful acts or call the extermination of the Jews. What they won’t do is deal with some of these “professors” who are flat out supporting Hamas and calling for the end of Israel.
Now, a little background. I have very little respect for MIT. The details are long, but the short version is I was home sick and the Angry Sister called me from her apartment asking for help in setting up a VCR. (Yes, I’m dating us), one of her roommates was a recent graduate from MIT. I asked if this person was there, to which there was an affirmative response. I followed up asking if this person couldn’t figure it out, since MIT is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The response was a negative. I suggested that the roommate get a refund from MIT. The remarks I heard back were loud, spicy and would shock a sailor.
