If you’re capable of thinking for yourself, you will notice an intriguing insight into what’s going on right now on US college campuses. It’s not being presented in the mainstream media, but the parallels are evident.
The avowedly Left wing students are vehemently and violently protesting for the Palestinians, which of course means they are protesting for Hamas. In any war, one’s allegiance is binary. When the Jewish concert goers were shot dead and raped – or when the Gazans were being bombed – there is no middle ground. You’re on one side or the other. That’s the nature of conflict.
And the college protesters are not on the side of the Israelis. They’re on the side of the people who started the war.
These precious protesters in US colleges not only enjoy the luxury of being 6,000 miles from the conflict, they also enjoy the indulgence of ignorance. It allows their bigotry. But it is not unprecedented.
Like so many stupid people, they are utterly unaware of what they’re revealing about themselves, and their leftist beliefs. As a fish does not know it is wet, they do not know they are evil. They believe themselves virtuous – inasmuch as they contemplate the issue at all. Many participate for the excitement and cameraderie.
The political Left is constitutionally anti-Semitic, and this is clear in the actions of these college students, just as it was 90 years ago in the actions of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party.
Put plainly, they always ultimately hate Jews.
The Nazis initiated massive public spending. They constructed the autobahns and even commissioned the cars to drive on them. In a perfect example of socialist intervention in the free market they even called them “Peoples’ Cars”, as Leftists would (Volkswagen). They hiked taxes and imposed wage and price controls. They forced businesses to implement their political agenda, from behemoths like Siemens, Thyssen and Krupp, to little shops who were made to refuse Jews any service. They commandeered the mass media, and tried to suppress dissent (sound familiar?). Limited government free marketeers they were not.
All this was done in the cause of elevating the common man, just as the Democrats claim that mantle today.
Demagoguery never dies. Nor does evil.
The political Left is constitutionally evil. That is why they hated God’s Chosen People in Germany in the 1930’s, and why they hate them now.
It is plain for all to see – at least for those who can escape their indictrination, and think for themselves.
 “Nazi” is a contraction of National Socialist. So were the Nazis right wing… or left wing?
Dare to think for yourself.
Austin Morris
Austin, your comments are totally spot-on. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks, Jim!
I appreciate your kind words and habitual support.
Here’s an undeniable statement: the evil done by far-right people is eagerly exposed by the corrupt corporate media, while heinous actions on the left are often ignored or even justified.
Who is organizing and funding the anti-Israel college protests in America.The lead group generating the chaos is “Students for Justice for Palestine.” Founded in 1993, it is based in Berkeley, California. A prominent leader is Dr. Hatem Bazian, a lecturer at the University of California. That means taxpayers are funding him. SJP apparently keeps no books, but it is estimated it has a presence on more than 200 campuses.
Dr. Bazian, born in Palestine, is a radical leftist who, in 2003, called for an insurrection in the United States.
Bazian is quoted as saying: “How come we (Americans) don’t have an intifada in this country?” He added, “They’re going to say that it’s a Palestinian being too radical. Well, they haven’t seen radicalism yet.”
Intifada means “civil uprising.”
In addition to his radical rhetoric, Bazian is the founder of “American Muslims for Palestine.” This is the money behind the “Students for Justice Palestine” crew. Incredibly, giving donations to “American Muslims for Palestine” is tax deductible.
Where is the FBI and IRS on this?
Finally, a second group called the “Westchester People’s Action Coalition” in New York also financially aids the anti-Israel protesters. Founded in 1974, the WESPAC Foundation is another nonprofit radical left outfit. “The Tides Foundation,” controlled by George Soros, pumps heavy cash into the WESPAC Foundation.
Question: do you think these student protesters know anything about who is coordinating their dissent? Not likely. They are useful idiots to the destructive radicals driving the college disruptions.
The American media should have exposed this radical left pipeline, but it won’t because its sympathies, generally speaking, lie with the leftist movement. Social justice, you see.
Meanwhile, millions of American Jews are afraid and appalled.
And they should be. Their well-being is under siege. A revolting situation.
Thanks, Tom.
We’ll never see this information on the CBS Evening News.
Absolutely right!
Kinda like Austin is the useful idiot of the White Nationalist groups that he often parrots.
**********
You need to withdraw that smear, and apologise.
Just because I’m talking about Nazis doesn’t mean I am a Nazi.
You twist everything and lie chronically, you despicable little tosser.
**********
White nationalists have long made the same flawed comparison about Nazism having common links to socialism as a way to deflect the obvious links between the White Nationalist movement and Nazism.
So, not complicated. Stop parroting White nationalist rhetoric in some sad attempt to link leftist views to Nazi views when we all know White Nationals (which is what Nazi’s actually were) vote conservative…NOT liberal.
But you be you.
*****
No, you’re wrong. You clearly know nothing about the political landscape in Germany in the 20’s and 30’s. The nascent National Socialists (Nazis) had ongoing street battles with the communists and other socialist parties – because they were all competing for the same left wing voters. The SA generally prevailed.
I am no Nazi, and if you had a shred of decency you would withdraw your baseless smear and apologize.
But you don’t… so you won’t.
You really are an odious little man.
I didn’t call you a Nazi. I called you a useful diot to white nationalist. Given you have love to repeat their talking points. I stand by my statement. Nazi’s were a white nationalist totalitarian regime that use socialist talking points to con people into giving them power. Not complicated.
There’s very little daylight between “White Nationalist” and Nazi – as you well know.
I am neither – and you need to withdraw your baseless smear.
Again, I called you a useful idiot to White Nationalists. I didn’t call you a White Nationalist.
College students have historically been anti-war. The 60s they were against Vietnam, in the 90s they were against the Iraq war (No War for Oil), etc… So now they are against the Gaza war. Paint me shocked.
The Left are so antisemitic that the democrats just approved 17 billion in aid to Israel. LMAO
Never trust someone who tells you what other people are thinking. If you truly think for yourself, go speak to the people protesting the war in Gaze. Then come back and share some real information. Otherwise, Austin, we get it…you hate the Left and you allow that to paint your opinion as biased as NPR is biased to the Left.
But you be you.
Oh, by the way…. Nazis weren’t socialists. They were autocratic white nationalists. To be clear, Hillter used socialist rhetoric to rally people behind his party in order to gain power. But, in the months after he took power, Gestapo agents went from door to door and arrested Socialists, Communists, trade union leaders, and others who had spoken out against the Nazis. By 1933, the Nazi party was the only political party allowed in Germany. Nearly all organized opposition to the regime had been eliminated. Democracy was dead in Germany. So was socialism. But we know which party the White Nationalists vote for in the US don’t we Austin?
But hey! Way to repeat white nationalist talking points yet again! Cracks me up that you think you think for yourself.
But you be you.
That’s right, it was the Russians who were socialist, and soon after created the USSR. And we all know how well that worked out.
Actually the Russians were much more than socialist, and the balkanization of the political landscape that had caused such paralysis in the Weimar Republic resulted in the German socialist and communist parties hating each other (just as the Nazis did) as they were all in competition for leftist voters.
“They were autocratic white nationalists.” This is probably a fair description, but a little sweeping. They created the notion of the superior Aryan race (presumably of pure, Germanic blood), which excluded people of many origins that today would be described as “white”. It was all myth and nonsense. It was surely autocratic, but more than that. An autocracy isn’t necessarily murderously oppressive. Hitler was just pure evil.
Students during the anti-war protests in the 60s and 70s were anti-war. They weren’t pro-communism, pro-North Viet Namiese, pro-Iran or Afghanistan. The students “protesting” now are specifically stating they ARE Hamas, ARE Palestine, ARE Intifada. That is different than opposing the war in Gaza. The US was involved in the other wars with troops and fighting, and protesters wanted them home, an end to the loss of family members. We aren’t fighting this war, it’s between Hamas and Israel. These students are protesting the loss of the people whose government brutally slaughtered innocent civilians in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, call for the genocide of Jews and Americans, in the US, and have numerous other demands like banning the police forces, reparations for ethnic groups, zero emissions by 2050.
These students aren’t protesting a war, they are being used as part of a coordinated effort to change this country. They are calling for the killing of Americans and Jews, in America. These are the thoughts of terrorists and the government of Hamas, as well as other Islamic terror groups. This is what they DO in the Middle East. Thoughts that ARE action, have been action for thousands of years. We cannot ignore the threat that means to our society, our culture, here. Already there are areas of Europe that have seen changes where large parts of major cities are ruled by Islamic Law and local police no longer enter to deal with any crime.
People, students, can protest. They cannot protest on private property if the people owning the property ask them to leave, nor are they allowed to destroy property or hurt or harass other people who are allowed there. These parameters have been violated in these protests and that should not be tolerated.
As for the Nazis, yes they were “autocratic white nationalists”, but more importantly Hitler was a totalitarian dictator. No different than Stalin, Lenin, Mussolini, Franco, Amin, Al-Gadaffi, Jong-Il, Mao Zedong. It doesn’t matter what the party is called, what their color or race is, what their economic system is. What is important is that the leader is a totalitarian dictator who attains their goal by creating two classes of people, those that rule and those that serve. Freedom is lost, people are ruled by fear, choices aren’t allowed, government propaganda controls all media, and dissenters disappear.
It’s true that “white nationalists” generally vote Republican, if they vote, just as “white socialists” vote Democratic, if they vote. What matters is whether the party they vote for is showing a tendency toward taking away the ability of citizens, politicians, and professionals to disagree and debate government authorities on issues and decisions that affect them; whether the party is denying or attempting to abolish Constitutional Rights; whether the party is failing to uphold their Constitutional duty of protecting the country from foreign and domestic enemies; whether the party is attempting to fundamentally change our system of government; whether the party is focused on creating a one-party system by nullifying all other political parties; whether the party is advocating laws, social ideals, and rules that control citizens’ rights to travel, grow their own food, store food and supplies, trade and barter freely, own private property, save money, live where they choose; voice their opinions without fear.
I majored in History, especially WWII and the Holocaust, and have read extensively on the subject. I do see similar social and political trends to those that happened in the 1930s as well as other periods where Jews were persecuted by a totalitarian government and freedom was taken away from citizens. It doesn’t matter what the form of government is called, it’s not based on our Constitution, it’s wrong, and as an American, I’m opposed, so if a party has a tendency to espouse those ideals I will not be voting for them.

Thanks for a thoughtful response Deborah, but “labels” do matter because they provide an insight into the fundamental philosophy that underpins a political party and its policy provisions.
So the Left generally promotes the interests of the state (higher taxes, more control), whereas the Right generally promotes the interests of the people (tax relief and freedom). Essentially the Left represents government and the Right represents the governed.
And parenthetically, to paraphrase Karl Marx, Insomniacs unite! You have nothing to lose but your sleep. Perhaps it’s an indicator of high intelligence, Deborah… !
In the US, that used to be true to some extent. While today the Left wants to control commerce and big business to protect the environment, citizens etc.. and the Right wants to control social agenda such as books, sex life, marriage, definition of gender, abortion, drag shows, educational curriculum etc in order to exclude those don’t like for equal rights such as the LGBTQ community all while ignoring science because it impacts big business’s profits all the while adding the national deficit spending by reducing taxes without any offset to spending.
While I don’t follow the Gaza war protest news very closely (or the Gaza war for that matter as I find it a lost cause from both perspectives), I would think very few in the protests are “…calling for the killing of Americans and Jews,” Like many protests, there are a range of perspectives within the crowd so I caution apply sweeping allocations to the whole based on the actions of a few.
With that said, once the ‘few’ gain too loud a voice, it is certainly time to shut down the protests if they are disrupting daily operation of the universities….same way the BLM protests turned into riots a few years ago.
How do you think the conservative movement that tried to use a riot to stop the peaceful transfer of power on Jan 6th will be viewed by history? Attempting to take away the freedom to have your elected officials assume the roles they were elected without due process of law seems totalitarian from my perspective. Conservatives had their day in court regarding their ‘belief’ of mass fraud and failed to prove their case numerous times. Having a candidate continue to propagate the lie that he was ‘cheated’ as a means to rally his base also seems rather totalitarian.
I think history will view Trump and the MAGA crowd poorly regarding the 2020 election and Jan 6th. And it will view poorly the use of prosecutors against Trump poorly as well. A dark period for democracy for sure.
Let’s assume you’re correct and those rioters actually took over that building on January 6th. Let’s say they, like many “protestors” in college campuses right now, successfully occupied that building for days and days and days. How in the hell would that have stopped the transfer of power? They had no weapons, no military backing, no presence beyond their current physical location. The transfer of power would have and did simply take place away from where they were. In no way was that riot, if you could even call it that, an event that would “stop the peaceful transfer of power”. You have to let that go dude. It’s a silly argument.
Don is right. A bunch of irate Trumpsters with nothing more dangerous than silly costumes represented no threat to the Republic.
They were protesters, not insurrectionists.
Their goal was to disrupt congress and falsely believed Trump had the case to stay in power. They were lied to of course. Trump only had his lies about proof of mass election fraud. Fools following a fool but yes, they fully expected their actions to stop the transfer of power to Biden as their hero swooped in and won the day. I will concede they were foolish / misguided / stupid insurrectionists. But insurrectionists just the same. (Note that many of these people believe JFK is still alive and that Trump is still secretly president of the US….Qanon is a crazy drug of misinformation these people fully bought into).
Austin, excellent article!
Veddy gud!
Austin, I always value your thoughts, but in this case the Israeli-Palestine thing is more complicated. It parallels in many ways the conflict between the whites settling America in the 18th & 19th century and the relatively small number of Indians (many admittedly nomadic) they overwhelmed/displaced. There was right and wrong on both sides. Small wrongs by Indians or settlers leading to massacres in both directions. “Social justice” being the rule in those days.
Besides, these protests don’t seem all that organic. One couldn’t rule out their being Soros-funded distractions intended to divert our eyes from the 10 million illegal invaders (and related crime surge) encouraged by the US ruling class.
—–
I made no judgment on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
I posited that the German NSDAP was a leftist party not a right wing one, that the American college protesters are ignorant, and that the left is evil.
If you want to debate those issues, I’ll be glad to do so.
Thank you to all who were really appreciative of the letter!
I have always thought it the greatest snow job in the World that the establishment Left have sold the National Socialist German Workers’ Party as…. right wing!
The Nazis were so heinous that the Left tried to wash their hands of them, and paint them as rightists – and it worked!
Leftists lie.
It’s more that they sell modern white nationalist as right wing given the tendency of modern white Nationalists to vote conservstive here in the US and in Europe.
Can’t think why it matters how an evil regime like the Nazis are framed as Right or Left in todays terms. They were evil and people who act as apologist for them today are evil. Just happens those people tend to be conservatives these days.
Conservatives lie so boldly (and badly) they have been forced to pay millions for defamation in the courts. LMAO!!!!

PS
The National Sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter Partei (NSDAP) came to be called the Nazis because it’s just much less of a mouthful.
As usual, Chris has spoken at length and said nothing.
Ain’t that the truth, Wayne.
His digressive diarrhea doesn’t even merit a response.
You mean nothing you agree with. Keep you mind closed Wayne. Good way stay who you are with no risk of change.

No, he really means nothing.
Your jejune drivel contributes nothing to these columns.
If your goal here is to win over people to your point of view, you are failing miserably – as you might have noticed.
My goal is to provide a counter point of view to the often-repeated misinformation, right wing propaganda often repeated here so the Rhino times does not become an echo chamber like most conservative news sites. I have no interest in changing your minds. That would require much longer conversations than reasonable in comment blurbs made here once a day.
What’s so bad is that they are burning the American flag or removing it to put up a Palestinian flag. They are complete total idiots. I think every one of them should be kicked out of college and not let back in. I also think that the government should put everyone of them on a plane and fly them over there and leave them to fight the war they are protesting. Let these morons see what it would be like to fight with terrorists who hate their guts. They think they are standing up for the right cause and they are not. This is an excuse for them. Half of these protesters are gay which would get them beheaded or stoned over there yet they stand up for those people. A couple of them that I’ve seen were labeled as transgender which would get them shot immediately. So the very country they are supporting is the very country that hates them for who they are. They have the right to protest. They do not have the right to block off colleges where other kids can’t come through. They do not have the right to take down the American flag which is the very country they are living in. They do not have the right to condemn Jews and yet say they are fair. They do not have the right to hurt other people. I’m all for a one-way ticket for them. They want to support Palestine, send them over there and let them do it. All in all, these kids are a bunch of freaking cowards! That’s why they wear the mask so it conceals their face and nobody will know who they really are. Just like antifa, they are a bunch of cowards and a bunch of lowlifes. They are American hating Democrats. They are also showing their true colors. They are traitors to their own country so I say we kick them out and don’t let them back in. And not for nothing, chris, you absolutely showed your ignorance by standing up for them. So please feel free to leave our country and go join them in their fight. We don’t want you here either.
Half these protestors are gay?! Where did you make that BS up?
Many of these kids protesting are not protesting because of the injustice (or what they view as injustice) because indeed there are injustices everywhere – so why the focus on this one they know so little about? Is it really about the cause or about ‘themselves’ – “hey, look at me, I’m doing MY part to protest injustice”… the problem this time around, is they are failing to see the injustice that Hamas commits against women, freedom of religion, and … oh yeah… that they were elected on the platform that does not recognize the right of Israel to exist!! Is a population truly ‘innocent’ when they elected a governing body that vows destruction of another people? What could possibly go wrong with that? Not to mention that Hamas has repeatedly sent in suicide bombers and missiles since the 2007 election of Hamas – just think how we would respond if Mexico had done this? Now, while I understand folks that claim Hamas didn’t actually start the war on Oct 7 (debatably) because to them it was a response to the continuation of what they see as being held in an ‘open air prison’ controlled by Israel, I also believe that Israel could have handled this in a way to give more international sympathy and make better progress. Let’s ask, did they really need to drop even ONE bomb? Why not let the media play out longer (than the three or four days post Oct 7) to play over and over the atrocities of Oct 7 on Israelis, instead of giving them the chance to shift quickly to dying civilians losing homes and family members, many are children, etc. etc., as Israel wasted no time in a bombing campaign (they could have at least waited) when ALL they had to do was SEAL the border and use the control of their borders as leverage. This would have earned them more respect and cooperation / collaboration with partnering Arab states like Qatar that holds the Hamas leadership, while still giving Israel leverage of sealing that border tight – because they haven’t dropped any bombs and the media still plays the Oct 7 attack for weeks or months (instead of days) – but still allowing Israel to deliver pain to Hamas simply by limiting electricity, work visas to Palestinians, even food (to some extent) – at least to an extent to put pressure but not having to kill 30,000 plus people in such dramatic way, giving candy to the media to show the poor civilians being killed (and no longer the pain suffered by Israel on Oct 7). It was not necessary in my opinion, because after Oct 7 any country would understand them adamantly sealing the border and tightening the grip of sanctioning the strip in a way that will still provide retaliation and leverage but without dropping any bombs. It would also solidify Israel’s safety to prevent another security breach. Eventually, in this way I think there was better hope to get Arab nations to put pressure on Hamas to release hostages and commit to longer peace. Leveling the strip with bombs, on the other hand, gave important collaborators and influencers no further appetite to work with Israel, which in the end, would deliver the real peace. For disclaimer, I do actually support Israel, but I just wish they had been more strategic and diplomatic on how they responded to the tragedy. Any leverage they had with other key partner nations, has been compromised or lost completely. And BTW if they had gone this route, there would be no protestors being arrested in Manhattan or elsewhere. Yes the Palestinians would still be suffering, but not over dead relatives but over tightened food, triggered inflation, and overall just tougher conditions that will more likely create anger over their government Hamas than Israel, but once you start dropping bombs and killing people, that cause is lost and now you’re just creating future terrorists.
Violence begets violence.
Austin, thank you for your comprehensive, and truthful letter. There is so much more that can be said regarding the hate filled vitriol that these protesters are spewing. I lived through the the 60’s protests and riots, but I honestly never heard the hate-filled speech as I’m hearing today much less what they are doing physically to Jewish students. This is 1938 Germany in America. As usual, I always look forward to Chris’s replies to any conservative view. Today, he just amused me. He admits to not paying much attention to the protests that are happening. Most protestors scream “From the river to the sea”, but they admittedly have no clue as to what river or what sea, as for that matter, they have no clue why they are protesting except they claim that Israel is a genocidal country. I in turn would ask them, find out the true meaning of the phrase. Sorry Chris, they’re calling for the cimplete annihilation of Israel. It’s sad the double standard the world has for Israel. Most do not know anything about Israel’s history either secular or spiritual. Suppose other countries called for the annihilation of America for all the wars we’ve been a part of or for the way we have meddled in other countries business? Like America, Israel is not a perfect country. But neither is America. I believe most of these protests could be ramped up by terror cells that are well known by our government. This weekend, Grimsley students called for a peaceful, solidarity protest today. Let’s hope that’s all it is. Today in Israel it is Holocaust Remembrance Day. They are not just remembering the Holocaust, but those that are still in captivity by Hamas. Thanks for your time and Shalom, Shalom! I will pray for the Peace of Israel and America!
You’re right David.
I don’t know which is more shocking; the breathtaking ignorance of these protesters or the acidic virulence of their sentiments.
Both leave me dismayed and saddened.
I think what you meant to say was ‘breathtaking ability to have a different point of view than I have…”
Very well said!
Israel became a state after millions of them were “arrested” and slaughtered and burned in concentration camp gas chambers in Germany and other countries in World War II. Their heritage and faith goes back thousands of years in the land that is now Israel.
Where is Rodney King with his. . . “can’t we all get along?”
I did read some articles about the River to the Sea and the songs meaning from an Arab perspective. The meaning appears to have changed over time. Neither here nor there. What I believe the US students are protesting is the suffering in Gaza as most antiwar protesters are typically motivated by the objective end of suffering. I have read a few stories that a good deal of literature being distributed at the protests is written by and funded by Iran etc… Par for the course to have outside groups inject themselves into well-meaning protests and take things to the next level. I find it interesting that people say the protests are Pro-Palestinian versus antiwar….but again that is par for the course. Remember Jane Fonda traveling to North Vietman. Americans love to root for the underdog.
Speaking of underdog, what makes the Gaza war really interesting is how dominate the Israeli military is over the Hamas troops and their more limited tools for war. I think that really feeds the ani-war crowd as well.
These are just my opinions based on the conversations I have had with my daughter who is in college and her conversations with some her friends that are supportive of the protests. (Her campus is not overrun with protest camps etc…. ) End of the day, neither side will ever ‘like’ the other and none of this will bring peace to the middle east. Just more suffering because people look back at history before making decisions to move forward. Just good ‘ol human nature.

I only have 1 comment:
Has anyone seen or read about our”Govenor Cooper” patting the backs of all those brave young men on our UNC campas protecting our American flag from falling to the ground and protecting it while waiting to place it back where it should be….high and proud!
I’m so proud of them!!! Thank you boys for standing for those that serve and those that have fallen for that wonderful flag.
Amen and Hallelujah!
He should be ashamed of himself. He is suppose to be standing up for the American public and he doesn’t even have the back bone to stand up and do what he was voted to do. Defend OUR state and country. Back in the day that was called yellow back. Looks like our governor has one a mile long.
I probably should have mentioned that Germany had a Proportional Representation electoral system. This makes it notoriously difficult to form a government, and leads to intense competition for votes within the Left and the Right. It results in parties who are “on the same side” despising each other more than the opposition. This explains Hitler’s animus for the communists and other socialist parties (of which there were several).
Aside from the Left’s absurd ex post facto attempts to characterize the National Socialist Workers’ Party as a party of the Right, they also like to overlook that the Nazis were democratically elected. The Left reveres democracy above all else, so they find this fact extremely embarrassing.
Hitler was a product of democracy.
