At first glance, the optics are shocking: Jewish students chaining themselves to Columbia’s gates, claiming they’re being silenced. But look closer. These are pro-Palestinian activists protesting the university’s ties to Israel and its alleged role in deporting a fellow protester through ICE. They're staging sit-ins, posting emotional pleas, and demanding the university cut off institutions they call complicit in genocide.

This isn’t about Palestine. It’s about advancing a radical socialist agenda. These students aren’t outliers—they’re foot soldiers in a broader leftist movement that uses identity as cover for revolutionary politics. Same tactics as BLM: disruption, moral blackmail, and demands wrapped in the language of liberation.

They cloak themselves in Jewishness—not as an expression of faith, but as a shield. The formula is simple: if Jewish students are protesting, any criticism must be antisemitic. It’s a rhetorical trap—one that mirrors BLM’s tactic of equating all dissent with racism.

At the core is a Marxist reframe of global conflict: a world divided into oppressors and oppressed. Israel and Palestine are just the latest projection of this binary. The issue isn’t geopolitical—it’s ideological. The same narrative used to vilify capitalism and Western values is now applied to international politics.

This isn’t Judaism. It’s ideological capture.

This isn’t about peace. It’s about control—of institutions, of narratives, of power.

Don’t fall for it.

The script hasn’t changed. Just the actors.
