The Primary Driving Force of These Anti-Israel Protests on Campus Is Childish Ignorance

Suppose you could get a student at one of these campuses where ongoing anti-Israel protests are happening and have a talk with them in any serious capacity. If you asked them what it is exactly they're protesting, you'd quickly find that they're not entirely sure what it is they're protesting about.

We don't actually have to suppose. Here's a video of two of these attendees wishing they were more "educated" on what it is they're supporting. Hilarious, seeing as how they're at a college. 

They repeat the slogans, but can't tell you what they mean. They show up to give support but aren't fully aware of what they're supporting. They see a bunch of people doing it and, whether pressured by their peers or an overwhelming desire to fit in, they lend their breath and presence to "the cause"...whatever that cause might be. 

Chant now, ask questions later. 

They likely heard of what happened in October in Israel but didn't really stop to see what actually happened. They were likely fed some nonsense about how Hamas is a group of freedom fighters just trying to get away from an oppressive Israeli regime bent on genocide. They were probably fed the lie that Israel exists on stolen Palestinian land. 

They could have heard all of that. It's also entirely possible they heard none of it, not even anything about the events in October.

But the ignorance is charged by the radical bug that infects the youth so easily. As some students at UT noted about their "pro-Palestinian" peers, many of these people are leftists, and a great deal of them belong to some LGBT group. These students who seem to actually be aware of what's happening expressed they'd love to get info about what these "protesters" have seen, or rather, not seen.

As one of these students mentioned, if most of these students were actually educated about what it is they were supporting, a good deal of them would be absolutely horrified. They would watch as their "non-binary" or gay "friends" were led off to be executed in some horrid way. They would watch as the women were taken away to be slaves, used as human shields, or both. 

One thing is for sure: Very few of them would be welcome there, and the few that were would find their lives dramatically altered as they found themselves subject to a very strict set of religious rules that come with heavy punishments for breaking. These are sheep cheering to be ruled by the wolves.

It needs to be understood that ultimately, this isn't about Gaza or Israel, just like it wasn't about Black Lives Matter. It wasn't about a women's march, the environment, or gun control. It was never about anything that any of these grand moments of protest were ever about. 

This was always about leading the ignorant to one side of the political aisle where they could make headlines that generated narratives that led more people to take a political side. These are the useful idiots you've always heard about who are cast aside and forgotten about once they've fulfilled their purpose

These riots (because that's what they actually are) will continue and worsen until November, and all the useful idiots will raise eight kinds of hell in the name of something they don't understand and won't bother to understand. Once the election is over, these demonstrations will fizzle out. 

This isn't a noble cause. It's just riot season. 

Regardless, these riots are damaging. People are injured or killed, property is destroyed, and lives are ruined. This is all in the name of generating narratives that can be used politically. It's disgusting, but you'll see soon how many of these narratives become of the utmost importance to politicians and the media. You'll soon see censorship efforts surrounding these events.

There isn't anything new going on here. This is an established pattern. 

Narratives are important to the left. In fact, controlling them is one of their most treasured weapons. With a good, well-spread narrative, you can herd the population like chickens, and I don't just mean the idiots. Normal Americans who don't have the time to dig into what is and isn't false have no idea they're being lied to and will vote based on what they hear from corporate sources. 

This is what RedState has been working hard to stop. It's our job to get the right information out when the corporate media has covered the land in blatant lies. When they present a story that has too many holes in it, RedState finds the information that they left out. This is why we're constantly under attack by big tech and various politically biased media outlets all the time.

But we've been able to stand our ground thanks to you and the VIP Program. This has been our sword and shield for some time now, allowing us to go on the offensive on many occasions as censorship efforts try to hold us back. We would very much appreciate it if you lend your help to us, especially with election season coming up and the fight for control of narratives gets more intense.

This is going to get far worse before it gets any better if recent history tells us anything. These people will begin driving up the violence as the press attempts to pass it all off as "mostly peaceful," but you'll know the truth. You're not the ignorant type.
