The Chattering Classless

I was trying to enjoy my nabe at a Japanese restaurant tonight when a group of five college -age social crusaders sat down beside me. One of the two females was wearing a sweatshirt emblazoned and I kid you not with a message extolling her "boobs" which in this case undoubtedly meant her four companions. These children began a diatribe against Israel as they scarfed their sushi. They spoke with outrage against the "Jews' atrocities". What are the universities teaching these days that young people can not make a moral distinction between a cop and a murderer? They don't have the slightest idea about the tenets of Islamism after all their professors whitewash the aggressive and intolerant portions of the Koran. These youngsters see a genocide going on and reserve all the opprobrium for Israel. The press reinforces the negative image and concentrates on the casualties among Palestinian non-combatants without reporting Hamas has deliberately jeopardized them. The thinking of this generation is testament to agitprop masquerading as education.
