Three Years after October 7, Universities Have Learned Nothing

Three years after October 7, university administrators seem to have learned much and, at the same time, still seem to have learned nothing.

At campuses around the country on the anniversary of the attacks, Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and their comrades took to the streets to celebrate Palestinian terrorism. Rally signs praised the Hamas “martyrs” to mark the anniversary of the so-called genocide that began three years ago on October 7th, 2023.

At my alma mater, George Washington University, over 150 student protestors took over the streets of their campus in Washington DC, intimidating the University President and an Israeli professor who they claim is an “architect of genocide” as they shouted “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free,” into bullhorns.

What actually happened on October 7th was the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. These student protestors rallied around the rape, maiming, and mutilation of women and young girls; the crime of kinocide; the slaughter of entire families; the burning of families alive in their homes. They celebrated the kidnapping and torture of 251 souls into the hellish dungeons of Hamas. It’s a sick inversion of victimhood.
