“[T]he October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on Israel ignited a wave of campus and street protests across the U.S., Europe, and Australia in 2023 and 2024. Progressive activists baptized in Marxist critiques of capitalism and colonialism marched arm-in-arm with sympathizers of groups like the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. Amid chants blending anti-imperialist rhetoric with calls for ‘global intifada,’ figures in masks injected black bloc tactics, which amplified the chaos through vandalism and violent confrontation. Despite profound contradictions embodied in subgroups like ‘Queer Jews for Palestine,’ the apparently disparate groups coalesced around overlapping hatreds. These alliances have frayed the fabric of civil discourse on streets and quads, revealing how ressentiment and illiberal indoctrination can draw disparate forces into a shared bed whose coital fruits threaten free societies.” (09/22/25)
