Pro-Palestinian ‘Summer Camp’ in Western MA Promotes Communism

Follow any leftist movement to its end, and this is where you land. As we have pointed out numerous times, these anti-Israel protests are also anti-American.

Communism the Main Goal at Pro-Palestinian ‘Summer Camp’

The Boston Globe has published an exceedingly sympathetic profile Sunday of a pro-Palestinian “summer camp” in western Massachusetts, where participants share ideas about communism and talk about building a better society.

The “Western Massachusetts Popular University for Palestine” is not just about the Gaza war started by Hamas terrorists, the Globe reports, but also about “the manifestation of the capitalism, colonialism, and white supremacy.”

It is difficult to imagine any newspaper publishing such a glowing tribute to an extremist right-wing movement, especially one that has been associated with antisemitism and violence.

But the Globe adopts an idealistic tone:

For many students, the pro-Palestinian encampments in the spring were a kind of utopia — warm, caring environments with participants contributing what they could to sustain the communities with libraries, food, medical aid, art, music, education, and other supports. Several students said participating in the encampments was a transformative experience.

“It felt like the blueprint, [or] the mappings of a better society,” said Owen Buxton, a student who was arrested twice in the spring semester at pro-Palestinian protests near Emerson College. “It felt like living outside of this capitalist, white supremacist patriarchy could actually be possible within my lifetime, which was inspiring.”…

In Northampton, the roughly 20 graduate students and community members broke into small groups to discuss the week’s readings, the shortcomings of capitalism, and debate the benefits and pitfalls of social media. At one point, two senior citizens joined and applauded the students’ efforts.
