Cornell Dean Accused on Video of Advising on Starting Hamas, ISIS Clubs and Setting Up 'Training Camps'

OK, we could argue that the Assistant Dean is not openly supportive of ISIS or Hamas but is simply ignorant of what they stand for or wildly optimistic about the humanitarian intentions of the potential student. But even if he were clearly supportive of ISIS and Hamas, why all the fuss? Why would we expect anything different from university staff anywhere in America? They tend to worship liberalism and the idea that all views are equally valid (except conservative American views.) Conservatives (but only if they are here) are viewed as clinging to primitive and myopic traditions from an irrelevant past. Outside the USA, conservative ideals are cultural traditions. So what if a terrorist group (of ultra-conservatives “over there”) wants to behead those with views they won’t tolerate? Liberals (here) will still embrace them as part of what they believe is inherently good multiculturalism while liberals (over there) are raped, beheaded, crucified, or burned alive in a cage. Your tax dollars at work. It isn’t just Cornell.

Many comments point out that it is vague who the freedom fighters are fighting. But there should be a lot of red flags popping up in an American’s mind when being asked to support anyone fighting in Iraq and Syria or Hamas and looking to set up a training camp on campus. He should be expressing concern and asking questions, which he doesn’t do (at least in the edited version we are shown) in the video. Of course, he is proudly liberal, which is clear from his glorification of Ithaca’s liberal community. So perhaps in a liberal mind there is nothing valid about America’s past or traditions or heritage or culture worth defending – and with nothing to defend, those internal red flags that should pop up in the mind – don’t. The problem has been spreading for generations, and just gets worse under a president with a chip on his shoulder about America’s traditions.
