American Jewry is dealing with an unprecedented home disaster over its help for Israel’s battle in Gaza.
The final two items of unpopular Jewish-backed laws rammed by the Home, the Antisemitism Consciousness Act and a $95 billion greenback overseas assist package deal to Ukraine and Israel, required Republican Majority chief Mike Johnson to avoid his personal occasion convention and resort to cobbling collectively Democrat votes. Israeli political operation AIPAC has vowed to punish the over 100 Republican representatives who sided with their constituents towards these payments, however these threats solely masks the problem they’re dealing with in holding full institutional energy the place they have been as soon as secure.
On faculty campuses, pictures of militarized police beating and mass arresting peaceable anti-war and anti-Zionist protesters have been broadcast internationally to morally discredit American liberalism. Distinguished Democrats and Republicans stay unashamed, and have framed the demonstrators calling consideration to Washington’s help for the genocide in Gaza as terrorists. Excessive rating political figures have issued directions to the FBI to surveille, infiltrate and destroy the anti-Israel motion earlier than it spreads additional.
This crackdown has been accentuated by movies of teams of thugs, believed by some to be members of the Jewish Protection League, launching Antifa-style assaults, this time towards protesting left-wing college students. At UCLA, a mob of those balaclava-clad Jewish college students started attacking college students on the native anti-war encampment, in a skirmish seemingly coordinated with the California Freeway Patrol cops, who adopted up by taking pictures the scholars with tear gasoline and rubber bullets at level clean vary, inflicting severe accidents. An Israeli overseas agent who trains California cops, Aaron Cohen, was current on the scene working with the cops in the course of the violent assault.
In the meantime, conservative media has tried to promote these egregious assaults on our First Modification rights to their viewers as acts of American patriotism. In an try and gin up help and incite younger Republicans to take part in counter-demonstrations in help of Israel, a photograph of fraternity brothers on the College of North Carolina holding Israeli and American flags bringing down a Palestinian banner on their campus flagpole has been circulated by conservative influencers and press as a rallying name.
As revealed within the documentary The Foyer, pro-Israel activism on American faculty campuses is by and huge astroturfed. There may be ample proof to recommend the now well-known UNC “frat boys defending the flag” narrative Fox Information and others have been spreading can also be an inorganic publicity stunt.
In accordance with the LinkedIn of UNC’s Pi Kappa Phi philanthropy chairman and counter-protest organizer, Guillermo Estrada, he’s a Republican occasion activist who makes a speciality of political advertising and publicity. He has beforehand served in quite a few political roles as a advertising and outreach determine, resembling within the workplace of Republican State Consultant John Bell, and lists a future internship at New York Metropolis-based promoting agency Vistar Media.
Others concerned within the American flag photograph op embody Jewish members of Pi Kappa Phi, resembling Isaac Mahel, who instructed Laura Ingraham “We have been there holding our Israeli flags and attempting to cease hate and there’s been a whole lot of antisemitism across the nation. So we have been there at the beginning for our nation Israel.”
One other one of many frat boy organizers, Brendan Rosenblum, has been working for the Simon Wiesenthal Heart since 2022.
To this point, over half 1,000,000 {dollars} have been raised for the Pi Kappa Phi brothers on Go Fund Me. Journalists have struggled to discover any info on the drive’s organizer, listed as John Noonan, however a number of Zionist billionaires resembling Invoice Ackman have contributed giant sums of cash to the trouble.
Whether or not intentional or not, this large money infusion serves as a robust incentive for different frats to attempt to copy the Israeli UNC fraternity members, no matter how any particular person fraternity or its members feels concerning the Israel-Palestine battle.
Latest surveys reveals solely 8% of white People within the 18-29 age group help Israel, in comparison with 28% who’re pro-Palestinian. However for the reason that UNC stunt, fraternity members in locations with little to no Jewish presence campus, resembling on the College of Mississippi, have emerged to face off with pro-Palestine college students.
The frat boys rising on different Southern campuses, largely white with the occasional Hillel pupil holding an Israeli flag, don’t have any noteworthy historical past of confronting leftist college students at their faculty.
At Ole Miss, there’s a rumor that the frat boys who chanted “Lizzo! Lizzo! Lizzo!” and made monkey sounds in the direction of an anti-war overweight black leftist belong to Phi Delta Theta, which hosts a pledge to help anti-racist activism on their web site. In 2019, Marxist activists supporting Black Lives Matter invaded the Ole Miss campus demanding the elimination of Accomplice statues and have been utterly unopposed. Afterwards, pupil teams voted 47-0 to adapt to their calls for.
The prospect of a large payout and momentary cross for besieged younger white males to go away the woke-cage appears to be an even bigger motivation for the copycats than defending Israel. However the narrative of patriotic “Chad Brohemians” and “Boat-shoed Broletariats” waging battle towards campus anti-Semites is being proliferated by shops such because the Zionist online-right adjoining Pill Journal, successfully signaling down the memestream that America’s sovereign has declared “White Boy Summer season” and a bag of cash is ready on the opposite aspect.
However the Go Fund Me for the Ole Miss frat boys has solely been in a position to gather a bit of over $2,000, whereas different counter-demonstrators at establishments resembling Louisiana State College have hardly generated any protection.
All that has been achieved is deflecting away from the intensifying coverage debate about America’s position in enabling Israeli murderers and decreasing it to an inconsequential tradition battle circus.
