Ignorance from Ivy League schools seems to be the norm today. Maybe it's the DEI hiring of professors, deans, and school presidents, or just low admission standards, or maybe it's all part of the plan. There is no doubt that student intelligence, or, should I say, student education, is well below par. These institutions of 'higher learning' seem to only advance socialist propaganda, and the birthing of Hitler youth, whether it be Marxist or Fascist.

International organizations like the UN intervened in drawing up boundary proposals for the new state. Jews agreed to all, Palestinian Arabs agreed to none. Unlike in Arab lands where Jews were being deported, the new Israel welcomed Palestinians and invited them to be part of a nation reborn. Anticipating a war, Palestinian leaders implored their people to leave their homes and fight alongside their Arab brothers. Many Arabs did, leaving their homes, hoping to come back when the new nation was aborted. Five........
