In early December, just a few weeks after Oct 7th, I wrote about anti-Israel protests on college campuses. Students didn’t protest October 7th or deaths in Ukraine, so I wondered why Israel’s retaliations in Gaza was motivating their anger. Other wars and terrorism didn’t phase them. The war was still early on before the civilian death count was high. I wrote that young people were poorly informed, had a simplistic worldview amplified by TikTok, and were left unchecked by the spineless college leaders.

Yeah, that still works. Some related links today.

I wrote this last week. It’s a little dated, but you can read more at Apt. 11D, the newsletter.
