Seventy years ago, William Golding wrote Lord of the Flies, a brutal novel that sent shivers down our collective spines by exposing the raw hate and brutality hiding in the dark corners of our minds. Showing that such evil could be present in a group of young school-age children made the tale all the more harrowing. Today we have a scenario unfolding on university campuses across the U.S. that, while not yet as ghastly violent, threatens to come close.

The viciousness is already in evidence, with mobs of people chanting “death to Jews,” “death to Israel,” and “death to America.” Watching students screaming and spitting at Jewish students while blocking them from entering the university shocks the senses. Others have vocally endorsed Hamas, a terrorist group that murdered 1200 civilians in Israel only five months back, and called for more of the same.

Understandably, Jewish students have left campuses fearing harm, and most disturbing, many faculty members have supported and even joined in the so-called Palestinian protests. Columbia University was overrun and has already turned to online classes, while USC canceled graduation events. Other campuses plan to follow suit.

In the insane world of victimology that divides the world into the oppressed and their oppressors, there are many strange bedfellows. Those who might have championed Black Lives Matter in 2020, and those marching for transgender freedom in 2022 now join the Islamic jihad against Israel, America, and all the Western civilization represents.

This is happening despite what should be obvious incompatibilities among the groups. “Trannies for Hamas” is the ultimate oxymoron. But the idea that misery loves company holds true. The bond of victimhood needs no other cohesion than the hierarchy of intersectionality.

Also telling is the outrage expressed by students when there is pushback against their disruptive efforts on campus. One protester was genuinely confused, saying they are only doing what they have been taught in school. This sentiment is the buried lede that exposes the operation, not as an organic outcry from concerned students, but as a planned anarchy with its roots in a much more sinister and coordinated effort toward cultural destruction that is being taught by these very universities.

Busloads of “students” were spotted arriving near campuses, presumably to add numbers to the chaos. One USC student reported that many protesters hiding behind masks were not USC students at all. According to an administration official, of the 55 arrested on the UT Austin campus, 26 were not students at the school.

Whether these are actual students or paid professional agitators, one thing is clear. The number of near-simultaneous campus events springing to life leaves no doubt that outside money and coordination is fanning the flames. Someone is buying and transporting the tents, equipment and people appearing on campuses overnight.

Attempts to clear the illegal tent camps from universities turned violent, with hundreds of protesters arrested across the country.  At Emerson College four Boston police officers were injured.
