America Out Loud PULSE: Inside “Killing America” – Fighting Antisemitism in Our Schools

From my America Out Loud Pulse podcast with Diana Blum, MD – https://www.americaoutloud.news/inside-killing-america-fighting-antisemitism-in-our-schools/

The rising antisemitism in America didn’t start on October 7^th. There have always been pockets of either white supremacists or just plain envious persons who hate those who have what they don’t have. In many cases, the successful person happens to be Jewish. These days, the disturbing part is the hatred exhibited by ordinary students. Many of those involved in the pro-Palestinian protests have no idea of the history of the Middle East or Israel. It’s one thing to be “pro-Palestinian” believing that the Palestinians deserve their own country. It’s another to equate favoring Palestinian statehood with hating Jews for the mere fact that they are Jewish.

U.C. Santa Cruz students want to eliminate Jewish groups on campus. UCLA students are preventing Jewish students from entering certain buildings. Jewish students fear for their safety as some of the protests have included physical altercations. For their protection, U.S.C. is having a separate Jewish graduation. In a way, this feeds the hate. It forced Jews into a graduation ghetto.

The admonition to “Never forget” the Holocaust has fallen on deaf ears. Today’s education is so biased these days that I wonder whether the Holocaust is given its historical due. Some students don’t believe it happened despite evidence to the contrary. Some people believe that no one could willingly treat their fellow human beings so horribly. Believe it. It happened. And the mentality that brought on the extermination of over 6 million Jews is brewing on today’s college campuses.

The relentless teaching of the so-called Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) has infected our student’s brains. It is an odd combination of teaching students about our racial and ethnic differences to the exclusion of emphasizing that those differences are miniscule compared to how much we are alike as fellow human beings. We are individuals who can think for ourselves. In reality, we look at others not members of a racial group, but as individuals with their own personality traits.

Today, I’m talking with a physician who was instrumental in bringing this student antisemitism to the forefront.

America Out Loud Pulse: Woke Antisemitism and the Response to Hamas Attack

October 18, 2023 No Comments

From my America Out Loud Pulse podcast: Woke Antisemitism and the Response to Hamas Attack with David L. Bernstein – https://www.americaoutloud.news/woke-antisemitism-and-response-to-hamas-attack/

Over the years, racist and other hate mongers faded from sight. Some saw the error of their ways, while others hid in the closet. The recent rise in antisemitism in America is the canary in the coal mine for the growing acceptance of overt contempt for people who are not like you. They say courage is contagious – but so is contempt.

The war in Israel and the loss of many lives, including Americans, brings the end result of unbridled hatred to our front doors. The Chicago Black Lives Matter organization posted a since-deleted graphic seemingly celebrating Hamas’ slaughter of Israelis. Stanford, Columbia, and Harvard (among others) students cheered and clapped for Hamas and displayed signs of support from their dormitory windows. Note, they were cheering for Hamas, a terrorist organization – not the residents of Gaza. (The U.S. State Department has designated Hamas a terrorist group in 1997. The European Union and other Western countries also consider it a terrorist organization.) It is the everyday residents who will suffer for the decision of their leadership to perform act inhumane barbarism against civilians in the name of seeking autonomy. Sadly, according to Hamas’ Charter, autonomy can only come by wiping Israel off the face of the Earth.

This divisive mindset is being fostered in all aspects of American life – all under the banner of equity. California’s Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law the Ebony alert – an Amber alert just for black women and children. This is supposed to get more media attention but it just serves to divide us into separate groups. But that’s the plan. Ever heard of divide and conquer?? It is an age-old tool of tyrants. We cannot let the dangerous path of modern day wokeism that fosters group biases continue to its logical end: a country perhaps irreparably divided.

Today (October 13th) is the worldwide day of jihad – let’s hope that violence does not come to fruition. My guest has discussed on this show how the current “woke” movement is a breeding ground to antisemitism. We will discuss this in light of the current Middle East conflict.
