Reader comment on: On Campus: The Pro-Palestinians' Real Agenda Submitted by Dan, Mar 24, 2009 16:56 I think these college campus protesters are people who actually hate their own country, the United States of America, and have a need to lash out using Israel as a proxy for their anger. We are at an odd point in history because the US government itself is now a fully radicalized leftist institution, with the most leftward leaning president in its history in power. Still, we have troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, and a President who may soon begin to understand that it takes more than exoriating businessmen, military leaders, and "Republicans" to run a country. Also there are still rich folks and poor folks. And we're still driving cars powered by gasoline. So for the hardcore radicals among us, President Obama will eventually "sell out," if he hasn't already. So, who does the left cast as the villian? Israel. The Jewish State is the proxy for the western culture they despise. This is a vile self hatred, and a cultural toxin.Note: Comments are screened, and in some cases edited, before posting.
