Jewish Students at Cornell Question Their Allegiances to Left Wing Groups After Pro-Hamas Controversies
“A lot of the students that come to Cornell are liberal, and I think this is making a lot of Jews that would consider themselves liberal really question that”
This is probably playing out on a lot of college campuses in America right now.
FOX News reports:
Major ‘political shift’ among Jewish Cornell students as they question ties to progressive groups
Jewish Cornell University students reported that many of their peers on campus have been questioning their allegiances to left-wing student groups after some came out in defense of a professor who called the Hamas terrorist attack in Southern Israel “exhilarating.”
Fox News Digital spoke to “Cornellians” on background and on the record who said they were aware of a political shift among Jewish students. Some of them are questioning their ties with various progressive groups – and some with progressivism as a movement itself.
“A lot of the students that come to Cornell are liberal, and I think this is making a lot of Jews that would consider themselves liberal really question that,” a student studying statistics and computer science, who wished to remain anonymous for safety reasons, said. “What they will be doing is silently reflecting and shifting who they would vote for in the future…. They’re paying attention to… the Republican primaries to see who supports Israel the most even though that contradicts their previous values.”
One of those students currently going through the dialectic – who has not yet found a political home – is Isaac Bloomgarten, a freshman studying engineering.
Bloomgarten said he feels “betrayed” by the left with whom he always stood.
“I’ve always been an ally of the left. I’ve stood with LGBTQ people. I’ve stood with trans people, nonbinary people. I’ve always stood with them against forms of hate and discrimination. But I feel like they won’t do the same for me,” he said.
He has seen some of those same friends, including those he considered close, “make posts commending Hamas for what they did, declaring them as freedom fighters and how they were liberating their people by murdering Jews.”
“It’s so hard to comprehend this level of hatred,” he said. “And they sit next to you in class… I have to hope that people are just uneducated and don’t know better and that they are not actually evil.”

These interviews represent an important and welcome rethinking of pre 10.7.23 views and alliances that once characterized too many in the secular Jewish community
Welcome to the party, pal
And, even after all this, they’ll still stick their heads in the sand and vote Democrat.
Successful Democrat projection propaganda has convinced their dupes that Republicans are the actual party you don’t dare vote for because they will cook your babies.
…. when it turns out that Democrats appear to favor people who actually do that.
They allowed themselves to be played like pawn shop violins, and now they’re “rethinking” their political stances? Guess that ice water of reality hit them very hard.
JINOs having the scales fall from their eyes.
