I still don't understand how the party of the guy defending good people on both sides at at Nazi gathering is upset about antisemitism on college campuses. Seems like an odd disconnect.

Trump is on record saying Hitler had some good ideas. I doubt if any of the ideas had anything to do with better fuel economy for Mercedes-Benz sedans.

It's just politics... they can use the situation to their advantage to demonize the left and force out college and university presidents who they perceive as elitists.

Absolutely agree with you. It is part of Project 25 already instituted. The Republicans who have embraced the ideology helped to instigate the unrest on campus. They do not in any circumstance want students to think for themselves, so they give them the idea that Biden is the bad one. Shame that the students, who will vote in November, do not see how they have been manipulated by outside agitators. My question is who is manipulating the agitators. This unrest helps along the idea in Project 25 of replacing all the тАЬliberal thinkersтАЭ in our universities.

cameron, I have long wondered at the almost fanatic response of my Christian friends regarding Israel: complete and uncritical support, no matter what. A couple of them that are still willing to engage with me on most things have been unable to articulate why.

Last week, a dear friend who is Christian to her soul answered that question in a Facebook post, citing specific verses in the Bible. This quote from her is: "Israel belongs to God Himself. His covenant with the Jewish people for the land of Israel is clear in Genesis 13:14-15. That covenant stand even now. God Almighty says IsraelтАЩs land belongs to them, not anyone else."

This was added: "Christians, you are commanded--by God himself--to support and protect Israel. This isn't about politics. It is about obedience.

I find that belief chilling in the face of the atrocities that both have taken and are taking place.
