“It’s sad, really,” says Sara Esjaydublyu, the brilliant President of Harvard Students for Palestinian Decolonization. “These poor state-school kids somehow think they’re smart enough to weigh in on this famously complicated situation. They see the burned bodies of concertgoers, the bloody toddler beds, and the video clips showing the execution of old women, and they think it’s bad. What’s more, they think Hamas and Palestine are to blame. As we said in our joint statement with other Palestinian Solidarity Groups here at Harvard, ‘The apartheid regime is the only one to blame. We hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.’ We’re Harvard, so that should be enough, but of course, we’re not alone. The students at George Washington university were smart enough to reject the distinction between settlers and soldiers. The students at UVA were smart enough to see that what the Palestinians did was to take their liberation into their own hands by resisting occupation by whatever means necessary. The kids at Swarthmore honored the Palestinian martyrs who sacrificed their lives for liberation. And all across this great nation’s campuses, rallies are being held to show that intelligent people know the difference between Palestinian good guys and Israeli bad guys, no matter what people think they are seeing on the news. But San Diego State? The Aztecs — nice cultural appropriation, by the way — are out there marching with their white and blue flags, which ought to be drenched in the blood of the innocent Palestinians who broke through their border fence and rose up for freedom by killing over 1300 unarmed Israeli citizens. Just goes to show that you can’t fix stupid. Thank goodness we’re the world’s future leaders, and they’re the world’s future Home Depot assistant managers.”
