The celebration of violence against Israelis by young "progressives" didn't emerge in a vacuum. As a recent Wall Street Journal study reveals, American college students are being fed a steady diet of one-sided ideology on contentious issues like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Edward Said's fiercely anti-Israel "Orientalism" appears in nearly 16,000 course syllabi worldwide, while works sympathetic to Zionism or critical of Said's thesis are rarely assigned. When professors do teach the Middle East conflict, they overwhelmingly assign authors who are sharply critical of Israel, with little exposure to alternative perspectives. This intellectual monopoly has produced a generation that views Israelis and "Zionists" not as individuals deserving of basic human dignity, but as legitimate targets of hatred and violence. The result is students chanting support for Hamas and celebrating the murder of Israeli civilians. Until universities restore intellectual balance to their curricula, they will continue producing graduates who see the world through the lens of group identity and approved targets for their rage.
