Ayn Rand Institute | The Divestment Crusade Against Israel @AynRandInstitute | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
In this episode of New Ideal Live, Onkar Ghate and Elan Journo discuss the ongoing anti-Israel campus protests and analyze the demand that universities divest from Israel.
Among the topics covered:
• How the divestment crusade is animated by hatred of Israel, not concern for the Palestinians;
• The dishonest claim that Israel practices apartheid;
• How the protesters whitewash Hamas' vicious treatment of homosexuals;
• Why Christianity is the root of the celebration of Palestinian weakness and the hatred of Israeli prosperity;
• The US government's outrageous financial support for corrupt organizations;
• Why the violation of Palestinians’ rights by some fanatical Jews doesn’t amount to apartheid.
