How did young people go so wrong they cheer killers and rapists of Hamas?

Students at Columbia University are protesting against the detention of one of the organizers of the Columbia protests.

They are protesting about what they call Mahmoud Khalil’s “kidnapping’ by the US immigration authorities.

Yesterday students at Columbia chained themselves to a gate in protest at what they say is the kidnapping of Khalil.

The IDF’s actions are none of these things. Consistency and rationality are as much strangers to them as decency and morality are. But these protestors have chosen their target well. They believe that Israel is absolutely central to the West. I agree with them. Where we disagree is that I want the Jewish State to thrive and succeed.
