If you were to read this or see it online some 10-15 years back; it'd easily look like some sick attempt at 'dark humor.' It's hard to believe that the darkest things in people's hearts of anti-Semitism are coming out shameless. Decades of books, testimonies from victims, documentaries, movies about the evil anti-Semitic crimes in the 20th century which it seemed the whole world was appalled by. Now, it appears some just forgot all that or maybe they were like this all along.
Israel can't defend itself. Remember when the Reichstag parliament was burnt down? Nothing comparable to the backlash for Israel defending what happened on the 7th of October. When Reichstag was burnt down in 1933; it was very easy from that point on for Hitler to convince everyone 'all Jews are evil.' This is completely ignoring everything the Nazis had said or done to Jews prior. That's the disgusting world we live in though. Jews are always to blame just like back then and if Israel dare defend itself, they're considered "war criminals." I'm surprised these pro-Palestine rallies aren't getting packed with white knights and their pointy hates and burning crosses. KKK and pro-Hamas/Palestine are very hard to tell apart at this point.

Buying influence in America universities. No wonder they support terror.
Qatar’s War for Young American Minds

Qatar’s War for Young American Minds
By Eli Lake
October 24, 2023
"
Right now, senior leaders of Hamas, the perpetrators of the worst atrocity against Jews since the Holocaust, are huddled in Qatar. They’ve been there for years. But American foreign policy has turned a blind eye. Why? One reason might be that for the last 25 years, this small, energy-rich state has pumped billions into America to purchase influence and good favor.
The Qataris have spent their lavish fortune at American law firms, on lobbying contracts with former senior officials, and on junkets and partnerships with big media companies. The biggest recipients of Qatari largesse, though, have been major universities and think tanks.
The numbers are staggering. According to a 2022 study from the National Association of Scholars, Qatar today is the largest foreign donor to American universities. The study found that between 2001 and 2021, the petrostate donated a whopping $4.7 billion to U.S. colleges. The largest recipients are some of America’s most prestigious institutions of higher learning. These schools have partnered with the regime to build campuses in Doha’s “education city,” a special district of the capital that hosts satellite colleges for American universities:
One might expect that scholarly institutions that have benefited from this autocracy’s money would rethink their partnership after Qatar’s foreign minister said that “Israel alone is responsible” for the pogrom perpetrated by Hamas terrorists. Or after Qatar’s prime minister on Friday declined to close the office Hamas maintains in its capital. But these universities have given no indication that they will end their profitable partnership with Qatar.
- Since 1997, Qatar has donated more than $103 million to Virginia Commonwealth University for a fine arts campus.
- Since 2001, Qatar has donated $1.8 billion to Cornell for a medical school.
- Since 2003, Qatar has donated nearly $700 million to Texas A&M for an engineering campus.
- Since 2004, Qatar has donated $740 million to Carnegie Mellon University for a computer science campus.
- Since 2005, Qatar has donated $760 million to Georgetown University for a school of politics.
- Since 2008, Qatar has donated nearly $602 million to Northwestern University for a school of journalism.
All but one university on the list declined to comment on the future of their Doha campuses when contacted by The Free Press. Kelly Brown, a spokeswoman for Texas A&M, gave the following statement:
She added that Texas A&M has clear and transparent agreements with Qatar that accord with U.S. and international laws. “No public funds are spent toward the Qatar campus,” she said.
In the last 25 years the universities have justified these joint ventures with Qatar as a way to liberalize an autocratic society and bring American soft power to the Middle East. Indeed, Qatari officials have themselves given lip service to this goal.
In 2015, Hunter R. Rawlings III, who was Cornell’s president when it opened its medical school in “education city,” told The Washington Post: “Part of our thinking was, most American involvement in the Middle East has to do with guns and oil. This project seems to have to do with medicine and education. It’s such a different message. Why don’t we try it?”
The reality, though, is much different. Many of these schools have had to compromise their values on their campuses in Doha. For example, in 2014 Qatar censored Love Comes Later, a romance novel set in London and Qatar by Mohanalakshmi Rajakumar, an English professor at Virginia Commonwealth University’s Doha campus.
In some cases, the universities cooperated with Qatar’s strategic interests. The Qatar campus of Northwestern, whose U.S. journalism school is ranked as one of the best in the world, signed a memorandum of understanding with Al Jazeera, the Qatari-funded news channel that has provided a sympathetic platform for Hamas and other Islamist groups over the years, to help train its reporters.
In 2013, Sheikh Ahmed bin Jassim al-Thani, then director general of Al Jazeera, said of the new partnership: “Al Jazeera Network places the development of its team’s skills at the top of its priorities, to stay par with the great media-related feats Qatar has accomplished regionally and internationally.”
But are Northwestern’s interests really aligned with Qatar? Al Jazeera aired a weekly program hosted by Muslim Brotherhood cleric, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, between 1996 and 2013. al-Qaradawi was denounced by the Anti-Defamation League in 2013—the same year that Northwestern signed its agreement with Al Jazeera—as the “theologian of terror.” In one 2009 sermon aired on the network, he said: “I will shoot Allah’s enemies, the Jews, and they will throw a bomb at me, and thus I will seal my life with martyrdom.”
In 2015, Stephen Eisenman, who was then president of Northwestern’s faculty senate, concluded in a report on his school’s Doha campus that professors there enjoyed only “limited academic freedom.” He said this was not so much because professors feared the state’s strict censorship regime, but because they lacked tenure and were answerable only to the dean of Northwestern’s Qatar campus.
Eisenman also acknowledged that “the ethics of establishing a campus in an authoritarian country are murky, especially when it inhibits free expression, and counts among its allies several oppressive regimes or groups.”
That glancing reference to Qatar’s alliance with Hamas and Iran is the only mention of the state’s funding and support for political Islam. Eisenman concludes that countries that export oil and natural gas are bad for the environment, and are often marred by “social and racial inequality.” Not to worry. Eisenman notes, “those characteristics describe the United States no less than Qatar and don’t prevent Northwestern from maintaining campuses in Evanston and Chicago.”
Eisenman, now an emeritus professor, declined an interview request. In an email he told me, “Now more than ever, we need sincere efforts to achieve rapprochement between Muslims and Jews and between Palestinians and Israelis. If universities can help with this by means of educational exchanges, then I am all for them.”
Charles Asher Small, executive director of the Institute for the Study of Global Anti-Semitism and Policy, told me the funding of universities by Qatar is part of a much larger effort to exert soft power in the West. His institute estimates that the regime holds between $750 billion to $1 trillion worth assets throughout the world. “They are investing in major Fortune 500 corporations, Heathrow Airport [in London], the Empire State Building,” he said.

I'd rather have an airhead press secretary than airhead secretary of the state
Not sure about that. It's the Biden admin who blocked an Israel attack on Hezbollah, they tell us not to engage with Iran, and probably the reason the ground invasion is taking so long.
Is that for or against?

But we've been told the "lunatic" islamists are so obvious they easily stand out.
yes, i know. and this is where i absolutely question myself: seeing the white-germans being "deserves them right, fucking jews, bla bla", while we have people with muslim background celebrating the hamas.U
Ugh, yeah!?! What Hamas did on 10/7 and continues to do to the hostages and with rocket attacks, etc is the most unquestionably evil human endeavor since, well, since the Germans had free reign in the 1940s.
If there is ANY country that should be giving Isreal, of all places, a blank check, it's Deutschland! Hell, you guys are the reason we have this mess to begin with! I love the Germans as a partial descent myself, but really, the morality on this one is CRYSTAL CLEAR, there is no two sides argument. The Germans should be supporting Israel unconditionally and with 110% effort. Hamas paraded around a dead(?) German girl, for chissakes!
How quickly we forget...

What atrocities? You're believing shit that's not real and is being reported by orgs that are one sided and biased.
Yeah, the West in general have lost the power balance. They are too busy infighting.

told us he can identify Islamic moderates and radicals easily. What do you think about this woman, Funk?

It's seems like the definition of "radical muslim" is one who wants to kill the jews 24/7 while a "moderate" only on the weekends?

I don't think that we have to see Muslims as thinking about killing all non-Muslims x times a day, like normal people think about the Roman empire. It is just that as Muslims they feel a certain sort of brotherly love to all Muslims that they don't extend to other people, so if they see a non-Muslim killing a Muslim it affects them differently, and they start to think things like that non-Muslims do not "correctly" value Muslims lives. Then we get the "well-meaning liberal" who comes in with charts and figures analysing (often fraudulent) casualty counts, trying to explain to non-Muslims how the two casualty figures have to add up to be the same to promote a universal feeling of fairness. So this is why more innocent people should be tortured and murdered in their own homes, and so on.
I don't think so. There are lesser adherents than "moderate" who don't want to exterminate all jews, or the West, or trap their women into domestic bondage, etc. But I suspect there are a fair number of Muslims who, in their daily 9-5 job, don't think much about religious stuff, but when in mosque or social gatherings, that side comes out. Thats my definition of a "moderate Muslim". The "Radical Muslim" spouts out the hardliner talk all the time. But the "casual", "indifferent", or "relaxed" Muslim, however you characterize it, is the one that doesn't buy into any of that stuff and promotes the more harmonious aspects of Islam, even if its self-serving when they do it (like a lot of Christians, TBH). Sadly, they are REAAAAALLLL quiet in times like this, so instead of serving as a balance to the radicals, they are letting this supposed vocal minority do all the talking for them. Then the moderates are all riled up in the heat of the moment, probably like that lady posted a bit ago who I'm sure was quite pleasant to talk to 3 weeks ago, showing that at least some of the time they share the same destructive values as the radicals, and it gets real hard to say "all Muslims don't think alike" because all we hear is a single voice.
This. It's shockingly quiet on that front. To me, that's a sign that muslim communities are not ready to fully engage in democratic processes. There is no internal reflection or a healthy debate. There is a single voice: we are the victims. Israel the oppressor. There is not even room for nuance.
I'd prefer a litmus test without risking the beheading of teachers. But I get your thought.
The video starts with "from the river to the sea" which is the annihilation of Israel, but yeah, maybe they didn't know...
