The rise of antisemitism on college campuses and within the Democratic Party has sparked outrage and concern among many, including Fox News contributor Joey Jones. In a recent discussion on ‘The Big Weekend Show,’ Jones highlighted the alarming trend of anti-Israel sentiment and attacks on Jewish individuals.
Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, pointed out that the Democratic Party has shifted towards anti-Israel views out of fear of their radical base. He described this shift as a result of cultural Marxism, which divides the world into oppressors and victims, with Jews being labeled as oppressors and Palestinians as victims.
Jones also mentioned disturbing incidents at universities, such as USC removing a valedictorian for her pro-Palestinian views and a student being stabbed in the eye at Yale during an anti-Israel protest. These events underscore the growing hostility towards Jewish individuals on college campuses.
Reporter Sahar Tartak of the Yale Free Press recounted a harrowing experience of being attacked by a protester waving a Palestinian flag in her eye during an anti-Israel protest. The lack of support from bystanders and the escalating violence at these protests have raised concerns about the safety of Jewish students on campus.
The recent passage of a $26 billion aid package for Israel by the House, with President Biden’s support, has further fueled tensions among Muslim voters. Anti-Israel protesters have been heard shouting slogans in support of Hamas at demonstrations on college campuses, adding to the volatile atmosphere.
Jones and Fox News contributor David Webb highlighted the presence of radical groups like the Party for Socialism and Liberation and Revolutionary Communist America at these protests, linking the rise of antisemitism to cultural Marxism and a common hatred of Jews.
As the issue of antisemitism continues to escalate on college campuses and within the Democratic Party, concerns about the safety and well-being of Jewish individuals are mounting. The need for awareness and action to combat this disturbing trend is more urgent than ever.
