Reader comment on: On Campus: The Pro-Palestinians' Real Agenda

Submitted by Joe Ben Avraham, Mar 26, 2009 03:25

The comments of Leyla, Eddie Vic and Ahmed are of interest because they obviously ignore anything written by Abu Toameh and simply lash out. If these three are students, then somewhere along the line something got screwed up in their education. Their simplistic insults and verbal violence hurled at Abu Toameh show not just an inability to engage in debate, but also an inability to reason. Thus you get supposedly educated people supporting Hamas, a movement that is contrary to most principles you find on a college campus. In order to support Hamas, they have to actively ignore the nasty aspects of Hamas policy and philosophy (which includes attacking unarmed civilians, ignoring honor killings, suppression of womens' rights, recruitment of children for military purposes, etc etc). More troubling is that college administrations have knuckled under to the bullying and permit racist and hate-inspired actions by pro-Palestinian groups. There have been many instances of campus protests with pro-Hamas/Palestinian supporters calling for death and destruction, yet they are allowed to do so with impunity. Israelis have less to fear from these people than Palestinians. The obvious low-level of engagement does not present a threat to Israel, but is just an annoyance. The Palestinians, on the other hand, should be worried that their support is coming from radical elements who are showing support for the creation of just another tyrranical regime in the middle east.
