With recent events of college campus protests,  questions have been asked of Rabbi David about this situation. Here is his answer: 

The eruption of Antisemitic, anti-Israel protests in many universities around the country is far from new or spontaneous. Actions against Jews in general and Jewish students in particular has been  permeating through colleges for decades. It is spearheaded by well trained organizers who are being paid for their services by Qatar, Saudi Arabia and other nations.

The amounts of money flowing to promote “Palestinian causes” is in the billions. For decades  this campaign has been very well organized and coordinated nationwide. For its part, Qatar is spending many billions in dozens of the most known and recognized  colleges in the US. Its organizers, many of them students themselves, have been spreading blatant  historical lies by manufacturing facts about the Arab - Israeli conflict. The Palestinian “activists,” operate  under the clear goal of deliberate brainwashing of unsuspecting students on campuses. This is done by pounding the Palestinian  issue into the students’ minds with activities  and lectures full of many wrong details on a regular basis. 

There is a direct correlation between the amount of money from Qatar given to a university and the amount of anti-Jewish anti-Israel activities on its campus. The money involved according to the Department of Justice  amounts to many billions.  The Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy, ISGAP,  reported that the billions from Qatar are handled in campuses across the nation by “Proxies”- a term used to describe politically correct pro-Palestinian activities organizers on behalf of Qatar. These  organizers coordinate their activities among colleges throughout the country.  

For many years these well organized, well founded sophisticated activities have been relentless. They are hidden under a mask of legitimacy, factual and research based in order to appeal to unsuspecting, very impressionable young students.  For years the Qatari “Proxies” have been identifying pro-Palestinian professors helping them to create “Palestinian studies” courses, symposiums on Israel’s  “actions” against the Palestinians, student forums and campus rallies which call for the destruction  of Israel through all means possible. 

This narrative has been relentlessly playing on the emotions of the students. Once  emotions take over, hate settles in and the truth becomes irrelevant. At that point there is no desire to have an honest discussion and investigation. Many pro-Israeli  students report  that no matter what facts they present, these highly emotionally brainwashed  students cannot see the real facts. For them, it is not about the truth, it is about what feels good to their young minds. 

With our mission as the Jewish people to be a light unto the nations, still we will forge ahead, living at a higher consciousness and bringing these ideals forward.  

Shalom,

Rabbi David
