Something eerie, something creepy, is happening in the world—and now in America as well. The dark mood is brought on by elite universities, the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion industry, and massive immigration from illiberal nations and anti-Enlightenment societies.
At Hillcrest High School in Queens, New York, hundreds of students rioted on news that a single teacher in her private social media account had expressed support for Israel. Waving Palestinian flags, and screaming violent threats, the student mob rioted, destroyed school property, sought the teacher out and tried to crash into her classroom—before she was saved from violence by other teachers and an eventual police arrival.
The subtext was that the overwhelmingly minority students (whose school is ranked academically near the bottom among New York City schools) were acculturated to the racist reality that as the “oppressed” they were exempt from any punishment for hunting down their own teacher. As a Jewish (and thus white) “oppressive” supporter of Israel, she was reduced to, in the words an enthusiastic commenter on a Tik Tok video of the riot, a “cracker ass bitch.” And so the student pack tracked her down as if they were hunting an animal. The old Nazi youth gangs tried to kill Jews because they were not considered “white;” our new Nazis hunt them down because they allege that they are. The common denominator between the 1930s and 2023 is an unhinged hatred of Jews.
Hundreds of such incidents are now occurring on a daily basis—as the country is leaving its Weimar phase and heading at warp speed into normalizing Jew-hatred and worse. Instructors singled out Jewish students in classes at UC Davis and Stanford. Pro-Hamas students ripped down posters, swarmed public buildings, and disrupted traffic.
A pro-Israeli demonstrator in Los Angeles was hit on the head and killed by a pro-Palestinian university professor.
Jewish students were trapped in a Cooper Union university library surrounded by pro-Hamas demonstrators. At MIT, Jewish students were warned to keep away from particular areas of the campus deemed dangerous for them.
What would happen to a university president who warned black or Latino students to keep clear of areas where she could not guarantee their safety from other students?
A bankrupt media deserves much of the blame. They daily broadcast Hamas’s suspect casualty figures, as if that terrorist organization has ever been capable of speaking the truth.
The Western news regurgitated “500 dead at a Gaza hospital,” due to a supposedly deliberate Israel bombing. In fact, the hospital parking lot was hit by an errant Islamic Jihad missile intended to kill civilians in Israel.
No matter—few reporters apologized for spreading Hamas-fed misinformation, despite the previous Hamas lies that they never harmed civilians, that tunnels were not beneath hospital grounds, that they did not murder 1,200 Israelis; or their lies that Hamas gunmen do not rape, when they engaged in mass rape on October 7.
The media normalizes Hamas’s atrocities by treating it as if it were an ordinary government, not a murderous terrorist clique that decapitates civilians, takes children as hostages, and mutilates those it slaughters. That the terrorist organization has kidnapped at least ten American citizens and killed perhaps another 31 is lost on the “journalists,” many of them Americans who could care less about the fate of their fellow citizens.
The media fixates on the Israeli response to mass murder, but rarely the mass murder of 1,200 Israeli civilians that prompted the current war. During ceasefires do Israeli terrorists drive into Gaza cities, and shoot and kill innocent civilians—and then brag, as did Hamas recently, that such murdering will only increase?
Sometimes the anti-Semitic hatred reaches Orwellian levels of absurdity. A British reporter asked an Israeli official whether his country valued life less than Hamas did because it had agreed to Hamas’s demand to release three convicted terrorists in exchange for one Israeli captive. The media fawned over a released disfigured Gazan terrorist—without mentioning that her injuries came from a car bomb she exploded in hopes of killing Jews.
The media is further emboldened by the Biden administration. When asked about the outbreak of anti-Semitism across the U.S.—nearly 60 percent of hate crimes are committed against Jews, who make up 2.5 percent of the population—Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dismissed them with the false claim that the White House “had not seen any credible threats” to Jews. And then she claimed that the real danger to American residents was Islamophobia and threats to Arab-Americans. Hate crime and interracial crime statistics do not support Jean-Pierre’s assertions, which prompts the question of why she made them in the first place.
Note that almost all the violence in demonstrations over the current war comes from the pro-Hamas side that shouts “river to the sea” genocidal threats, swarms the Capitol rotunda and the White House wall, disrupts traffic, occupies bridges at peak traffic, defaces private and public property, shouts down speakers on campus, harasses passers-by, and often battles the police. One wonders whether, should the U.S. military be forced to try to rescue American captives, the demonstrators would cheer for the American troops or Hamas hostage-takers.
Abroad, the world has gone even crazier.
The United Nations has appointed Iran—a theocratic, terrorist-supporting government that kills dissidents and takes hostages—as the chair nation of the UN Human Rights Council Social Forum. What a cruel joke.
But what would one expect from the UN when its secretary-general, António Manuel de Oliveira Guterres, a former Portuguese socialist politician, condemns the Israeli response to October 7, but rarely, if ever, the Hamas mass killing of civilians that prompted it. Right after the mass killing Guterres opined, “The attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum.” According to the secretary-general’s logic, I suppose, Pearl Harbor, the 1939 Nazi invasion of Poland, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine did not happen in a vacuum either.
When told that an Irish citizen hostage was freed by Hamas, Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar declared that the “lost” child was finally “found.” In other words, he wished to hide the obvious fact that a terrorist organization had kidnapped an Irish citizen child, held her hostage for 50 days, and released her only when Israel gave up convicted terrorists to obtain her release.
Our domestic political leadership is not helping the situation.
Just days after October 7, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, along with the foreign minister of the now often hostile Turkish government, were calling for a cease-fire to prevent an Israeli response.
When the Islamic Jihad rocket aimed at Israeli cities went off course and damaged a Gaza hospital (leading to the fake story that Israel bombed the hospital), President Biden joked, “You got to learn to shoot straight.” Did Biden mean that, had the terrorists only launched a successful terrorist rocket into Jewish neighborhoods, there would have been no ensuing controversies?
Biden later apologized for doubting fatality figures provided by the Gaza Health Ministry, which is controlled by Hamas—a terrorist organization that has lied about the hospital “bombing,” denied it had tunnels under hospitals, denied that it had engaged in mass rape in Israel, and has supplied no proof of its civilian casualty numbers. Has Hamas released figures of how many of its terrorists were killed, and does it separate those numbers from lost “civilians?” And so are there really vast new cemeteries in Gaza to handle the 15,000 graves for those who, Hamas asserts, were killed?
What explains the collective madness?
For the last 40 years, while Western leftists have naively supported Palestinian terrorists, their governments have appeased terrorist-supporting Middle Eastern governments for very practical reasons. The old subtext to such mollification was that 500-million irate Arab Muslims, and a Middle East with 40 percent of the world’s oil reserves, in realist terms, simply argued against the interests of 10 million Israelis.
But now there are two new, venomous elements in the matrix.
One is that the racist DEI industry assumes that all intersectional nonwhite communities are victims of white privilege and supremacy. Therefore, as permanently oppressed, they are declared incapable of being racist themselves. And so they can harass with impunity the supposed victimizers—in this case American Jews, who are declared culpable whites.
So the oppressed, according to the DEI bible, cannot be anti-Semitic, though many certainly are. And they apparently cannot be held accountable for their hatred or frequent violence.
Secondly, in the last two decades there has been an epidemic of immigration into Western nations from the Middle East. In often-divided democracies like ours, politicians seek to appease as many pressure groups as possible, whether citizen voters or merely resident demonstrators, to acquire and maintain power.
Such pro-Hamas demonstrators, rah-rahing from a free, prosperous, and secure West, expect no rebuke for their obvious hypocrisy in cheering on an autocratic, dictatorial Hamas that has wrecked the economy of Gaza, shoots dissidents, and allows no free expression. And Middle Eastern guests and immigrants are never reminded that their very demonstrations are predicated on not being physically present in their homelands, where they might be shot for what they say and do freely in the West.
We are on a trajectory similar to that of 1930s Germany.
Every time a student is cornered, harassed, or threatened; a high school mob tries to swarm and harm a teacher; a government spokesperson dismisses such hatred; or American soldiers are targeted by Iranian-fed terrorist organizations; the madness, racism, and anti-Semitism will increase—until it reaches a saturation point of abject violence in our streets.
Once a society mainstreams the values of thuggish brownshirts, and ignores their “from the river to the sea” eliminationist chants and screams of “beat the f—king Jew,” then the next emboldened step is foreordained.
True, most Americans were appalled by October 7 and accept that every nation has the right to defend itself from terrorist killers. Most Americans deplore vicious demonstrators and their calls for violence on behalf of the Hamas death cult. And most Americans want their President to demand the release of American hostages and to deter Iranian-backed terrorists who attack U.S. military personnel in the region.
But unless the public demands that their universities enforce on campus the Bill of Rights and the right to move freely in safety, that police enforce laws against mob violence on America’s streets and in our schools, and that the United States stops greenlighting mass immigration from anti-Western nations and extending student visas to residents of anti-American, terrorist-supporting, and autocratic Middle East regimes, then in suicidal fashion we are headed for a 1930s nightmare.
DeputyDawg says
I made the comment, on YOUTUBE, not long after October 7th, that those attacks were a dress rehearsal for something much bigger. YOUTUBE took it down. It is entirely possible that Hamas could launch a pre-dawn raid into affluent Neiborhood’s such as Northbrook, Illinois, Shaker Heights in Ohio or Beverly Hills. With the same results. The only difference between Israel and the United States is the second amendment.

The terrorists wouldn’t find much, if any, opposition in Northbrook or other North Shore suburbs. Most are gun free liberal bastions.

John Anderson says
The Democrats are led by Hussein Obama, who is still running the White House through his corrupt puppet named Joe. The demented dummy Joe was implanted into the Oval Office after the 2020 US Presidential Election was stolen from the real winner, Donald Trump,
Domestic enemy Hussein Obama’s “fundamental transformation” of America has done more damage to the US than any damage done by any of US’s foreign enemies. Will America become a free and prosperous nation again? Will America ever have fair and free elections again? What will happen to “Weimar America” if America gets a fourth term of Hussein Obama?
Steve says
If the whole truth about that posturing, elitist antisemite were known, Barack Hussein Osama would be in a cell in Guantanamo with other Muslim terrorists, In his heart of hearts, when the mask is off, he fully sympathizes with Hamas and its genocidal goals.
I remember when Peanut Dhimmi Carter was president thinking how awful it was to have that sanctimonious antisemite as president. At least he paid (if not for his Jew hating at least for his ineptitude) and only served one term in office. The Great Narcissist Barack Hussein Obama got two terms and is now serving an unconstitutional third term with his demented, farting, incontinent ice cream scarfing veep as titular president.
Cat says
Some say 4th term because he tried hard to derail the Trump term in office.
My disappointment is actually with the American people .. I know J6 ruined innocent lives and scared people. But where are the counter demonstrations to these horrid events? Where are the loud objections? What of the gentleman murdered in the street in California? And the teacher not protected at all by her employer- the school district and the city? Where are the lawyers and law suits? Oh,I guess money making DEI civil rights lawyers don’t defend Jews then. But why are the American people not objecting?
That silence is what will bring on worse times for everyone. And it is deeply immoral and shameful.
Domenic Pepe says
Hussein Obama is recruiting volunteers for his Hussein Obama Omar Hamas Islam-American Brigade.
Volunteers can sign up at the Obama Hussein Mansion in Washington, D.C.

As for a country defending itself, I saw where one of the founders of CAIR remarked that the Palestinians have a right to defend themselves, but Israelis do not. Seems like our response should be to deport him to Somalia.

“ overwhelmingly minority students ”
They have no idea who is the minority anymore, open borders and zero passport checks mean that white people are probably already a minority in the USA and most of Europe, they are a very small minority of the world population.
CowboyUp says
“Hate crime and interracial crime statistics do not support Jean-Pierre’s assertions, which prompts the question of why she made them in the first place.” – She made them because the msm will parrot her lies and won’t dispute her, just like they do with hamas’ lies.
internalexile says
And all by design. I keep wondering if the left truly wants a partitioning of the country, or are they just completely blinded by ideology and clueless?
Onzeur Trante says
VDH’s article calls to mind Goya’s “Los Caprichos” from over two centuries ago. What we are seeing in society today is Goya’s Sleep of Reason and the Monsters It Creates.” Wokeism in all its ramifications has given us the present day nightmare we are sleeping through. As both Hanson and Goya suggest, society’s future looks grim indeed.

I am an American Christian. This article included statements about white and Christian so I thought I would add my view.
For many years, the German Nazi have been pointed out to be the monstrous evil of the world.
The Germans were white. That has become the basis of the “white supremacy” being genetic and white, particularly Christians being forever damned to be antisemitic.
There have been campaigns against “white nationalist” “domestic terrorist” based on race and perceived religion.
That is a fact.
However, the most horrific genocidal mania in recent history was Rwanda. If it looks like Rwanda, it is genocide. There wasn’t any religion or race in that mess.
I don’t know why people group themselves into tribes and commit the atrocities against each other in the name of what?
What happened in Israel looked like the start of Rwanda, another outbreak of that peculiar evil in mankind.
Leave religion and race out. It happened in Germany. It happened in Rwanda. Now it happened in Israel.. What “that” is and what prompts men to such bestiality is not found in skin color or personal beliefs..
The world, mankind, Christianity needs to understand the roots of this behavior rather than pin the blame on any particular tribe of certain skin colors and religions. It is the sin of Cain as usually the genocidal atrocities are within otherwise closely knit communities.
I am neither for Palestine or Israel. I am absolutely against anything that looks like Rwanda. I say, Never Again.
Beez says
The Nazis were NOT Christians.

First of all, the conflict in the ME is about Arab racism and Islamic bigotry to the mostly non Arab non Muslim ‘other’ in their midst. Especially since the Nov 1913 hate poem by an Islamic Sheikh in the newspaper Falastin (Filastin, which caused Ottoman authorities to ban it). Then came the 1920s massacres incited by al-Husseini who invented the genocidal cries “abakh Al yahud”

I copy here what someone posted a month ago:
David Shor @DYShor Nov 9, 2023:
I’ve seen HUNDREDS of marches by pro-Hamas folks in front of synagogues, Jewish homes, schools and institutions, in all big cities.
I’ve yet to see a SINGLE pro-Israel march in front of a single mosque or Muslim institution. NOT ONE.
Tell me again who’s facing hate.
Who?

I like VDH, but he’s always about 8 years behind. He’s now sounding like a ZeroHedge or Frontpage reader, circa 2015. A bit late, but welcome to the party (funeral party?) I guess….

There was a book written about this exact same topic from 1982 called, “The Ominous Parallels”, by Leonard Peikoff. It warned that philosophically, America was heading down the same road as Nazi Germany. It discusses the ideas behind and deeper than the communism and pro-brown racism responsible for today’s hatred of reason and political freedom (I.e. Capitalism)..

Truth be told, We just need to tell as many ppl about the Lord Jesus as we can, get the last person saved so God can say to his Son, “Go get em” only until AFTER The time of Jacobs Trouble will there be peace, When our Lord and Savior comes back like a roaring lion! I pray daily for this as I’m positive all who have Jesus in their heart do as well. Things will not get better, only worse 🙁
Even so come quickly Lord Jesus
