From: The Times of Israel June 5, 2025 Sudan burns, Syria bleeds – but campus rage fixates on Israel
There are enough tyrannical regimes and humanitarian crises in the world to keep college students busy, but foreign funding is turning them against Israel instead.
Sudan: While civil wars have displaced over 10 million in Sudan — where mass rape, ethnic cleansing, and child slavery have returned to Darfur — Western students chant that Israel is the world’s greatest evil.
Syria: Not Assad’s Syria, where over 500,000 people — many of them children — have been killed by barrel bombs, chemical weapons, and torture chambers, and 13 million have been forced into exile.
Yemen: Not Yemen, where an Iranian-backed civil war has led to mass starvation, the use of child soldiers, and what the UN calls the worst humanitarian crisis on Earth.
Russia: Not Russia, whose invasion of Ukraine has razed entire cities, abducted thousands of children, executed civilians en masse, and turned Europe’s breadbasket into a graveyard.
Iran: Not Iran, where women are brutalized for removing hijabs, dissidents are disappeared or hanged from cranes, and terror is exported globally through Hezbollah and Hamas.
China: Not China, where over a million Uyghur Muslims are locked in concentration camps, forcibly sterilized, indoctrinated, and put to work in factories feeding the global supply chain.
Qatar: Not Qatar, the oil-rich kingdom that hosts Hamas leadership in five-star hotels while funding Al Jazeera radical campus centers at top American universities, and lavish diplomatic charm offensives across the West.
No According to the protests, teach-ins, and occupation encampments dotting elite campuses, it is Israel — the region’s only democracy, with Arab lawmakers, LGBTQ rights, and an independent judiciary — that must be dismantled.
