Of the $29 billion dollars American Universities received from foreign governments these last four years, Harvard has been on the receiving end of over $100 million per year. Harvard is already awash with endowments to the tune of $52 billion dollars. So why is the world along with two of the largest donors, China and the United Arab Emirates, being so generous? Would it be these nations are looking for control, profit, or influence for their gratuity? After all, the Chinese have developed a reputation as pilferers of intellectual property. What better place for them to pinch or pocket intellectual property than to send their money and students to Harvard?
The U.S. government has also been generous with the tax dollars of our citizens going towards U.S. colleges. And just as these foreign countries have been looking to benefit from their “charity,” so are people of this country wanting legitimate returns on their “dime.” President Donald Trump, on the other hand, has not been so kind, and for good reason. Trump has made the declaration “Jewish students will be made to feel safe on our campuses or Federal funding will be cut.”
Trump and a good portion of the country are very aware of antisemitism on college campuses. Our colleges have stopped teaching about Ann Frank and the Holocaust. The genocide of six million Jews, in Europe during World War Two, has become an insignificant footnote of history in our schools. Why did this happen and how extensive is the ignorance of this new generation on this topic? We should be looking at the influence of money going to our colleges? Is curriculum development in colleges affected by where Universities get their money? Is factual history being taught? Are professors being hired according to their political beliefs? Impossible says Chas “The Sponge” Coddington, who’s greatest interest concerning this subject has to do with whether “antisemitism” is an accurate word to describe “Jew hating.”
“From the River to the Sea” echoes off the brick, mortar and Ivy of campuses like Colombia, Pennsylvania University and Harvard. This is the universal chant and call for the genocide of the Jewish people. And it has been American students being recruited and organized by the likes of Mahmoud Khalil, a Hamas sympathizer at Colombia, to chant this evil message. This is the call for the extermination of the Jewish people from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. If you understand the geography, you know the intent of the words.
We just had a young Jewish couple about to be wed, who were executed on the steps of the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C.. The assassin yelled: “Free Palestine” as he pumped several more rounds into the young couple as they lay on the cement steps of the museum inches from each other. It seems the genocidal sentiments have been broadened to include Jewish people here in our Capitol and indeed our country.
Illan Omar, a Democrat Congresswoman, was asked if she condemned the murders. “I have to go now,” was her response. Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), and Ayanna Pressley, three other Democrat representatives, couldn’t be reached for comment. Charles Coddington’s contribution to the discussion on hating Jews, here in the May 22 issue of The Voice, was to admonish Jewish people for using the term “antisemitism” to describe the hate aimed at them. It was an amazingly obtuse babble of words Coddington used, which revealed his irrelevance to the subject. Coddington prattled on concerning the origins of European Jews and the lack of accuracy using the term “antisemitism.” It didn’t qualify as “Just a thought.” It wasn’t even a reflex!
