Nothing particularly awful in terms of violence transpired on Global Day of Jihad. However, I am very concerned about College students near and around where I live.
I remember the Summer of Floyd when my daughter tried to entertain my grandkids while they heard the gunfire of peaceful demonstrators just a few blocks away. All of them are self-absorbed and capable of violence, whether infiltrators or hormone-driven uninformed students. And they will do it happily.
Yesterday there was a big gathering at the University of Washington’s Red Square.

Is that intimidating to you? Picture yourself as a Jewish UW Student.

You can’t blame the girls for being afraid of their lives.
These scenes are common in universities, colleges, and public places across the United States and the world. As Victoria stated earlier, anti-Semites don’t shy away from personalizing their fight. Stanford’s instructor told the Jewish students to gather their belongings and stand in the corner, claiming that this was an example of what Israel did to Palestinians.
The violence at Drexel University became more deliberate. According to Campus Reform, someone set fire to a door decorated with Jack-O-Lanterns or bats.
Drexel University – an observant Jewish student’s dorm room door was set on fire.
No other door was vandalized and the student believed she was targeted due to her outspoken support of Israel.
Police are investigating this as a possible hate crime. pic.twitter.com/ifFDpLiEdg

The act of vandalism, or perhaps terrorism, that was committed by the girl, is probably because she’s Jewish. One’s present and future can be destroyed, and one’s past examined endlessly, for a simple act such as using the wrong pronoun. Most college students say this was one of the worst things they’ve ever experienced.
It is clear that they are not LARPers, nor are these the same radicals from the 1960s that went on to fuel the dot-com boom.
