Our elite universities have done much more than allow a spirit of vile Jew hatred to take root on their campuses. They have cultivated that very spirit, fueling its fires and finetuning its ideologies. The universities are complicit.

Ben Shapiro confirmed these sentiments, writing:
Open anti-Semitism has been on the rise for legitimately decades on campus. It was rife on campus when I was there 20 years ago. It’s particularly rife from the radical Muslim community, and it’s been fostered by a Left-wing college administration across campuses for two generations that believes in the intersectional hierarchy of victimhood, in which Muslims outrank Jews.
Focusing on what was happening on the campus of Columbia University in New York City, he wrote: “How did the New York media miss it? The answer: They didn’t miss it. They fostered it. For years, the New York Times has refused to cover attacks on Jews in New York City so long as those attacks were being committed by minority criminals. Intersectionality is a hell of a drug, and this entire world view has promoted anti-Semitism, particularly at elite institutions.”
It is no secret that the Boycott, Divest and Sanction movement has flourished on many of our left-leaning campuses and that pro-Palestinian student groups have had near-total freedom to demonize the Jewish state (and Jewish people). But what many observers have failed to realize is the degree to which the grid of left-wing intellectualism fosters this antisemitic spirit.
It is the Marxist dichotomy of the oppressor class (the Jews) and the oppressed class (the Palestinians), of the colonizers (the Jews) and the colonized (the Palestinians). And with the endless stereotypical antisemitic tropes in which “the Jews” control the media, banks and governments of the world, Zionism becomes the ultimate expression of oppressive, colonizing, European white supremacism.
