“ Unless you pull a banana on them — and yell, “Stop or I’ll fruit.”

As for the banana eater, they tried to catch her but she dropped her peel and gave them the slip.”

Low hanging fruit, eh Don?

The administration’s of these colleges and universities could just tell all the students who choose to participate in them that they will have to pass a test on the actual historical facts that allegedly support the cause they purport to be “fighting” for - or against, or they cannot graduate.

Some Sample questions:

1. What “River” and what “sea” is meant by the phrase, “from the river to the sea”? (ans. Jordan/Mediterranean)

(I think they may have even stopped chanting this because too many kids were caught out not having a clue what they were even talking about!)

2. When was the Quran written? (ans. the 7th century, circa 650 AD)

3. How many times is the nation Israel mentioned in the Quran? (ans. 47)

4. How many times is Palestine mentioned in the Quran? (ans. 0)

Perhaps, in addition to learning that 99% of what they’re supporting and shouting about is all based on lies and blood libels, it would be a certainty this bunch of ignorant, know-nothing poseurs would all get an F.

That is, it would, if true history were actually taught in US schools, so unfortunately, there’s that.

Since I and my first wife were homeschooling pioneers, and my daughters are happily married and with fulfilling careers and went to college much earlier than their friends, I automatically fall on the side of keep your debts down. I barely made it to ordination which is the equivalent of a 4-year degree because of my AADD squirrel? And my rabid love of being outdoors and deep seated hatred of sitting at a desk. Other than that I'm neutral on that subject. May I also mention that my daughters were debt free when they were married at a young age and their Catholic husbands were a long way from being debt-free.

The ignoramuses at college these days can’t be bothered to read history and theology. You know, stuff in books. If they did, they’d find out that Hamas, like all Islamic fundamentalist groups, want to kill them too, and not with bananas.

This weekend there were demonstrations in Hamburg, Germany. Hundreds of thousands of Muslims marching and chanting. For what, some may wonder? Just to establish an Islamic caliphate in Germany. No biggie. The Germans traded the Jews for the Islamic Schnitzel Caliphate. Oh, you won’t be able to eat that pork anymore or drink beer for that matter. Auf Weidersehen, Deutschland.

Being a stupid, bigoted Commie is protected on campus these days. Being a Jew or a Conservative is grounds to be attacked and harassed. This won’t change until we pry the Commies out of office and out of our social institutions. Not all ideas are created equal.

Some ideas and some cultures are better - better for everybody. America has been one of the places which inspired people to do better. We are losing that. We have to get it back.

I attended Smith College in Massachusetts and as a Massachusetts Democrat at the time (I’ve since got religion!), I made Jimmy Carter my first Presidential vote as did so many young people at the time catapulting him into office. On Inauguration Day, the school administration decided to honor Carter, a peanut farmer, by serving peanut pancakes for breakfast, peanut soup for lunch and some other peanut concoction for dinner. If I remember correctly they used something like 20,000 pounds of peanuts that day. No one died. There was not even a whisper of ‘allergies’.

After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and killed about 30% more people than Hamas killed on Oct 7, 2023, we could have said, OK, we'll trade land/water for peace. Just give us 4 months and we will withdraw all of our troops and personnel from the Philippines and the Western Pacific and you can have everything west of Hawaii for keeps. But we didn't. We engaged in total war against the Japanese with Unconditional Surrender our battle cry and killed 3,000,000 Japs, including 700,000 civilians in bombing raids. By comparison, Israel is incredibly restrained.

From what I have seen of recent (last few decades) history, they have been very restrained all along.

Great article but I take exception to the term “Palestinian Soldiers”. They are no such thing, they are combatants, or more correctly terrorists. There is a whole protocol under the Geneva Convention and other international accords for the term “soldiers” and those murdering, raping, scum of humanity don’t qualify for any of it. We need to give Israel napalm and “Willie-Pete” to use in their fight with Hamas because thats what the terrorists deserve.

They were Hamas terrorists. The word "soldiers" does not apply and tarnishes all the real ones who have fought and fight for freedom.

I think the west Germans have been neutered from WW2.. We visit there 1-2 times a year, the East Germans are more ‘German’ and they love their country & their historical ‘Germaness’. They also got to live for 45 years under the totalitarian East German form of evil bureaucrat ‘rulers’…. don’t want that again…like the direction G7 techno/Davis/Uniparty is going….

My ancestry is German. The country today is not the same country that we fought in WWII. They have been neutered. The opens borders did them in.
