Antisemitism isn't just endemic in academia. It is "principled."

Last  December we reported about a Call for Papers in the  Journal for Architectural Education that celebrated Hamas murder and rape of Jews. 

This is not an exaggeration. The document labeled the October 7 attacks as part of "a rise of new formations of struggle and power" and forming a "pathology of hope." It also praised the bloodthirsty orgy of unspeakable violence as "the breaching of the border fence and the rupture of settler containment."

The call for papers caused immediate  backlash, including from an ad-hoc group called Architects Against Antisemitism with gathered 700 signatures in a letter describing the call for papers as an act of “academic malpractice” that was “clearly aimed to glorify Hamas violence and demonize Israel under the pretense of scholarship.” It added, accurately, that “the ASCA is one of many academic institutions getting swept up in the same type of behavior that preceded the Holocaust for over a decade in German intellectual society.  If you ever wondered what you would have done if you were alive back in 1930s Germany, it will be how you will respond to this moment.”

The journal's publisher—the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) - canceled the issue. But not because they objected to the sickening antisemitism and support of Hamas' own genocidal aims, but because of political pressure - two governors said that this issue violated existing laws against antisemitism, and the ACSA was also concerned about Trump's executive orders against antisemitism.  

The journal's entire board resigned in response  to dropping the issue.

What principles! So many people are so committed to supporting the right of schools to incite hate against Jews and Israel. They would never dream of supporting academic freedom for racist or homophobic speech, but attacking the Jewish people is sacrosanct.

They aren't ashamed of their stances. They are proud of them. 

Antisemitism has always been the canary in the coal mine to predict the fall of societies. This is just one of many examples indicating that Western civilization is in serious danger.
