HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Students for Pogroms in Israel: By excusing murder and kidnapping, activist groups have already changed campus politics in America.

Across America, millions of people with wildly diverse opinions on the longstanding conflict between Israel and Palestine denounced those atrocities, because it is always wrong to deliberately target and slaughter civilians and it is always wrong to abduct, let alone kill, children.

I naively believed that those were near-consensus beliefs on college campuses––that whether one sided with Israelis or Palestinians in the long and heartrending conflict between them, almost everyone could agree that certain actions were evil regardless of who took them. Then this week, on dozens of campuses, student groups reacted to the attacks by attempting to absolve the murderers and child abductors of all responsibility.

To the left, no act is too monstrous if it’s performed by a designated victim group. And our campuses are infested with this toxic stuff.
