A young scholar blogger at Stanford University only published an essential article in The Atlantic about what’s happening on his school.
In essence, the article explains that there is a lot of hatred toward Jewish pupils and Israel. There is plenty of pro- Americanism, and there is substantial support for Hamas and violence in general. Additionally, there is a government that is n’t even a particularly left-of-center one, which just wo n’t do much about any of it.
The young writer, Theo Baker, is no loving spiritual Jew or environmentalist Zionist. He claims to have only a small amount of Jewish culture in his apartment. His dad– and this he does not show us– is Peter Baker, who is the New York Times White House editor. So he is n’t conservative, either. He’s just a smart young man who ca n’t help seeing what is apparent, and who has the talent to put it into words.
Below is his opening phrase. I read it and was stuck:
” One of the area officials for my laptop- research group, Hamza El Boudali, believes that President Joe Biden should be killed”. The 23-year-old Stanford University undergraduate told a smaller group of protesters last month,” I’m not calling for a human to do it, but I think a military does.” I’d be glad if Biden was useless. He believes that Stanford is involved in the Palestinian murder, and that Biden is not only accountable for it. He eventually clarified,” I’m not calling for a vigilant to do it; I’m saying that he is guilty of large murder and deserves to be treated similarly to a criminal with darker skin ( we all know extremists with dark skin are usually bombed and drone-bombed by American planes ).
El Boudali has also stated that he thinks Hamas ‘ October 7 attack was a justifiable act of resistance and that he would prefer that Hamas rule America in place of its current administration ( though he later clarified that he “does not mean Hamas is perfect ) ). When you ask him what his reason is, he answers:” Peace.”
” I switched to a different pc- technology part.”
Baker points out that many of his other individuals who believe in peace truly support violence. That may n’t be better of the painful, pro- Hamas left.
It’s worth noting that tuition, room and board at Stanford this year is$ 82, 406. That’s a major purchase.
The author reveals unwaveringly that he favored Stanford over all other prestigious institutions. When he entered, he cried joyous weeping. He spent lots of time reading the training library, and wanted to learn” anything.”
That is what you would expect from a hard acting, great achieving student at a first rate school.
And you anticipate that the school will become deserving of the accolade. That has not been the event this year for Jewish kids matriculating at Harvard, or Cornell, or MIT, or, as this article makes clear, Stanford. Since Oct. 7, racism has been rampant on all of these colleges.
Actually before Israel responded physically, it is ironic that the murder and murders committed by Hamas opened the door to racism against Jews and Israelis. This suggests that there was a lot of pent up hatred waiting to be exposed.
Baker interviewed the new time chairman, Richard Saller, a 71 time old professor of Roman record, who seems to be lost at sea. Saller mentioned earlier student demonstrations, over Vietnam, the atmosphere, and racism”. But they did n’t trap’ students against each other ‘ the way that this issue has, “he said.
Saller is no especially tolerant of hatred. He’s no La person, like the deposed leader of Harvard. But he hardly knows what to do in this regard. That is, he wo n’t insist on punishment, which is the only way to stop problematic behavior. At some point, he had the houses of pro-Palestinian students removed from the rear, which had been positioned in violation of regulations for decades.
When Zionists say they do n’t feel” safe” on campus, according to a professor Baker, they no longer feel immune to criticism of Israel. ” He continued:” Well as the saying goes, get used to it. ” Really vulnerable.
No wonder Jewish freshmen complained that they felt scared, which Stanford was n’t supposed to be. They’ve been followed, harassed, and called insulting cultural epithets. ” Some Muslim women wearing headscarves also claim to have been followed.
” In a wonderfully short period of time, hostility and abuse have become predominant, an accepted part of school advocacy,” Baker wrote.
In January, Israeli learners organized an anti- racism event. It goes without saying that activists drowned out their speakers. As they were leaving the occasion, a young girl shouted at Jews”, Go back to Brooklyn! ” The lady leading the opposition told attendees to find” off our f**king school. ” As a priest tried to leave the event protesters pursued him, chanting.
Baker noted that both the imam and the priest on the scene both had grief in their eyes.
Now that the monitoring has caught up with events, we learn that there is no relief from violent on campus racism, even at the bright Stanford.
