In the wake of the October 7, 2023, terrorist attack in Israel, Western nations saw an explosion in anti-Israel, antisemitic encampments on colleges and universities.
The protest at Columbia, which lasted throughout the spring of 2024, often turned violent and destructive, with students vowing to “defend” their encampment from police. At California Polytechnic University, student rioters took over a building and barricaded it against police.
For many Americans, this surge in antisemitism and rioting was more proof that Western colleges and universities are nothing more than hotbeds of Leftist radicalism and laces of indoctrination that teach students to hate America and Western values.
However, the problem runs much deeper than woke campus ideology and Leftism. There is a well-funded, coordinated effort by radical Islamists to infiltrate and undermine Western democracies, using religion and “Islamophobia” as a cover for the ultimate goal: the destruction of Western civilization in favor of a global Islamic caliphate.
And much of it, especially the unrest and indoctrination at colleges and universities, is funded by Qatar.
