More than 120 U.S. colleges and universities have hosted tent encampments by anti-Israel student protesters and other supporters. They chant neo-Marxist slogans of intersectionality, solidarity, and anti-colonialism in defense of true bigotry and terrorism, calling for freedom and liberation for a regime that was the sole instigator of the Hamas–Israel war. The same regime also squashes women’s rights, violently penalizes dissent, and criminalizes same-sex marriages.
