American Author Criticizes Students Blaming Israel, Calls for Universities to Confront Extremism

American author Bethany Mandel, known for her book on 'wokeism poisoning young brains', has criticized student groups at Ivy League schools for supporting Hamas following the recent deadly attack on Israel. Mandel labeled the growing number of anti-Semitic remarks on college campuses as "holocaust revisionism" and expressed concern about the lack of empathy for Jewish lives among supposedly educated individuals. While acknowledging some responsibility lies with universities, Mandel emphasized that these are legal adults who should be able to process information independently. She dismissed the possibility that students may disavow Hamas while sympathizing with Palestinians, arguing that they are looking at the situation through a Marxist lens.
