“No bombs on Iran,” scream the protesters at Columbia University and other institutions of “higher learning.” They demand America end the war on the fanatic Iranian theocracy, a regime that executes women for not covering their face and murders gays for who they are.
Yet for over two years, these same college protesters righteously proclaimed “We are HAMAS.” They had no problem cheering for the Hamas terrorists who waged a war to annihilate Israel. Apparently, to these scholarly “warriors for peace,” war is immoral unless it targets Jews.
Thanks for you letter, Mr. Abramson. A few thoughts… it may be because these protesters aren’t being paid or it may be because these protesters, and their employers, are reading the room and discovering their silly and hypocritical protests only harden opposition. Unfortunately, we’ll always have those who target Jews, just as we have Democrats who would rather target Americans than criminals and terrorists because they hate Trump more than they love America. The goal is to reduce/eliminate their influence, much as what we’re attempting to do against Iran’s terrorist regime.

Thank you for condoning Antisemitism and hate with your cold, pointless reply
