Hady Amr’s Middle East
It appears that under
President Joe Biden, the United
States is fine with Hamas, despite the fact that it is a terrorist
organization.
During his media
appearance with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on
Tuesday, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken indicated that rebuilding Hamas-controlled Gaza in
the wake of Hamas’ latest assault on Israel is
the most pressing issue on the agenda.
Although Biden said last Thursday
that relief efforts for Gaza will be conducted “in a manner that does not
permit Hamas to simply restock its military arsenal,” his advisors recognize
that there is no way to prevent Hamas from intercepting international
humanitarian aid and using it to rebuild its war machine. Ahead of Blinken’s
visit, a senior State Department official was asked to relate to this concern.
“How can the U.S.
guarantee aid to Gaza won’t be diverted toward replenishing the Hamas arsenal?”
a reporter asked.
The official responded,
“As we’ve seen in life, as we all know in life, there are no guarantees.”
In other words: It could
happen.
In fact, it isn’t simply
that it could happen—Israel’s counter-offensive against Hamas’
terror infrastructure in Gaza revealed that it is guaranteed to
happen. Over the past decade, Hamas spent hundreds of millions of dollars building
an underground offensive tunnel system with more than one hundred miles of
tunnels. The subterranean complex housed Hamas’ missile launchers and its
missile stores. It served as bunkers and assembly points for Hamas’ terror
forces. It served as weapons production facilities. The materials for Hamas’
spending spree were, of course, repurposed construction materials imported to
Gaza for “humanitarian” and “civilian” purposes.
During the latest round
of fighting, supporters of aid to the Gaza Strip pointed to Gaza’s ongoing
water and sewage crises. But here too, the record is clear. In 2014, Egypt
blocked most missile imports to Gaza when it destroyed Hamas’ tunnel network
between Gaza and Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. But with technical assistance from
Iran, Hamas developed a massive domestic missile production capability. The key
components of those missiles were water pipes imported
into Gaza over the previous seven years for “humanitarian” purposes.
Given this state of
affairs, it is impossible to view “humanitarian aid to Gaza” as anything other
than a resupply for Hamas—and a guarantee that the terror group will rebuild
its capabilities and launch a new war against Israel in due time.
The lead State
Department official on U.S. policy toward Hamas specifically, and the
Palestinians more generally, is Hady Amr, deputy assistant secretary of state
for Israel and the Palestinians. Amr was dispatched to Israel during the recent
11-day war to advance the Biden administration’s new policy.
In 2018, Amr was the
lead author of a Brookings Institution paper on
U.S. policy toward Hamas. Titled, “Ending Gaza’s Perpetual Crisis—A New U.S.
Approach,” the report proposed a new U.S. policy toward Hamas, the Palestinian
Authority and Israel. Amr called for the U.S. to use the next round of war
between Hamas and Israel to launch a new policy toward the terror group and the
Jewish state.
Amr’s plan had three
components. First, it effectively accepted Hamas as a legitimate actor despite
the fact that it is a terrorist organization controlled by Iran. Second, it
called for the PLO-controlled Palestinian Authority (PA) to unite with Hamas
and gave the PA a free pass for funding and supporting terrorism against Israel
and rejecting Israel’s right to exist. Finally, in regards to Israel, Amr’s
report called for the U.S. to use direct and indirect means to coerce Israel
into making unreciprocated concessions to both Hamas and the PA, even while
admitting such concessions would endanger Israel.
U.S. law bars the
government and private citizens from providing material aid to terrorist
organizations. So since Hamas seized Gaza in 2007, the U.S has avoided any
direct support for the terror-controlled enclave. Instead, the U.S. sought to
empower the PA and bring prosperity to the Palestinians governed by the PA in
Judea and Samaria while pursuing peace between the PA and Israel. The idea was
that the Palestinians would abandon support for Hamas when they saw the
disparity between impoverished Hamas-controlled Gaza and the wealthy
PLO-controlled PA in Judea and Samaria.
This policy did not pan
out. It didn’t work, on the one hand, because corrupt PA officials
systematically looted international aid primarily to pay salaries for
terrorists, but also to feather their own nests. The PA’s corruption and
support for terrorism blocked economic development in its governed areas.
On the other hand, the
U.S. permitted Hamas to draw funds from other international financial
backers—especially Qatar and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency
(UNRWA), the UN agency devoted to Palestinian “refugees.” This aid has
enabled Gaza to stay afloat financially while permitting Hamas to build its
military machine.
The result is that Hamas
remains more popular than the PA among Palestinians in Judea and Samaria, as
well as Gaza. A testament to this came earlier this month, when PA President
Mahmoud Abbas canceled elections he had scheduled for the PA legislative
council and the presidency. Abbas realized that, as has been the case since he
first began his four-year term in office 16 years ago, Hamas will win any new
PA election in Judea and Samaria.
In 2018, Amr argued the
best response to PA corruption and support for terrorism is to sponsor other
Palestinian terrorists. Specifically, he argued, the time had come for the U.S.
to begin supporting Hamas. True, it’s illegal. But Amr argued, in deliberately
bureaucratic language, that the U.S. can easily sidestep such laws.
As he put it, “The
United States may also want to further refine and reissue its ‘contact policy,’
which is more than a decade old, to give U.S. NGOs the confidence that they can
effectively engage in the Gaza Strip in a manner that is responsible but makes
the risk of litigation more manageable.” The “contact policy” Amr
referred to is the guidance USAID issued to contractors in the
Palestinian-ruled areas a week after Hamas first seized control over the Gaza
Strip in 2007. That guidance stated that contractors may not have any contact
with people affiliated with any designated terrorist organization.
In plain English, Amr’s
solution for the widespread infiltration of Palestinian terrorist affiliates in
Palestinian government in both Judea and Samaria and Gaza is to change the law
to permit greater U.S.-sanctioned cooperation with terrorists or
terrorist-backed entities operating there. Amr wants contractors working with
the U.S. government to have the confidence that the U.S. will not prosecute
them when they collaborate with group such as Hamas.
Amr also called for the
U.S. to reinstate its funding of UNRWA. Unfortunately, this policy is itself
legally questionable since more than half—some say
up to 90 percent—of UNRWA employees in Gaza are
members of Hamas.
Amr noted ruefully that
following the U.S. transfer of its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and its
closure of the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem that had served as an unofficial
embassy to the PA, the PA cut off its ties with America. To rebuild those ties,
Amr called for the U.S. to restore funding to the PA despite its funding of
terrorism. He also called for the U.S. to coerce Israel into transferring 50
percent of land it controls in Judea and Samaria to the PA.
Amr called as well for
the U.S. to minimize the significance of the transfer of the embassy. During
his visit with Abbas in Ramallah Tuesday afternoon, Blinken made clear that the
Biden administration is following Amr’s playbook on Jerusalem as well. He
announced the Biden administration is opening a consulate in Jerusalem for the
Palestinians. Likewise, the administration’s announcement this week that former
U.S. consul to Jerusalem Michael Ratney will arrive in Jerusalem next month to
serve as acting ambassador signaled it intends to downgrade the significance of
the embassy move and embed the Palestinians’ demand for the partition of
Jerusalem into the administration’s hostile posture toward Israel.
As for Israel, Amr
argued that Israel should be forced to abandon its policy of containing Hamas
and instead give Hamas control of its supply lines. Amr called for ending
Israel’s maritime blockade of the terror regime’s Mediterranean coast, removing
limitations on the supplies entering Gaza, permitting the entrance of Gazans
into Israel and their transit through Israel to the PA-controlled areas of
Judea and Samaria. Amr argued that Israel should also be compelled to accept a
unified PA government that includes Hamas terrorists.
Israel would be convinced
to act against its own security and national interest, Amr maintained, through
direct U.S. pressure and economic pressure from the European Union. Regarding the latter, Amr called
for EU diplomatic and economic sanctions
against Israel—or, as he euphemistically wrote, the EU should “provide economic
and political incentives and disincentives for Israel as part of a Gaza aid
package.”
Before his appointment,
Amr had a long history of
antagonism toward Israel and support for Hamas and U.S. engagement with the
terror group, more generally. Now, as the Biden policies to date have made
clear, Amr is both the author and the primary implementer of U.S. policy toward
Israel and its terrorist enemies. That policy, as his 52-page Brookings paper
from three years ago made clear, is to empower Hamas terrorists and weaken
Israel.
The Biden
administration’s rhetorical endorsement of Israel’s right to defend itself
provides a welcome contrast with the antagonism of many leading congressional Democrats.
But alongside the rhetoric lies a more sinister and destructive substantive
policy. If left unchallenged, the fruits of that policy will be seen in the
coming years, as Hamas terrorists renew and expand their war against the Jewish
state.

Iran: Hamas already
rebuilding Iran-backed rocket arsenal
"The Palestinian resistance resumed
production of missiles after the end of the recent Israeli aggression,"
Iranian media has stated.
Hamas in the Gaza Strip
is already rebuilding its massive rocket arsenal to
target Israel in the next war, according to Iranian news reports. The
assessment by the media is based on information received from the Hamas
political bureau to Fars News. It “announced that the Palestinian resistance
has resumed production of missiles with the end of the recent Israeli
aggression.”
Hamas told its Iranian
backers that “our factories and workshops have resumed production of thousands
of missiles to stop the [attacks] of Netanyahu in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv,"
Fathi Hamad, a member of Hamas' political bureau, said in a message on Sunday
evening.
Hamas has vowed to
protect Palestinians in Jerusalem. It launched a war on Israel on May 10,
targeting Jerusalem. It used more than 4,000 rockets to attack Israel in 11
days. It targeted air bases and major cities. Iran advised it on its strategy
and celebrated its efforts. Hamas thanks Iran for support. Iran has used this
to fuel Hezbollah and other proxies against Israel. "The option of
war against Israel and [due to] discriminatory measures against the
Palestinians is still valid, but the Palestinians are not looking for a war
because it costs money, but it will continue forever, Hamas leader in Gaza,
Yahya Sinwar, said on Monday,” according to Fars News. "Israel is
occupying our lands, displacing our people and continuing to kill,” said
Sinwar, who has been touring Gaza in recent days. Hamas has held parades showing off its
weapons as well.
Hamas has some 15,000
rockets and Palestinian Islamic Jihad has rockets as well. These have ranges up
to 250km, Hamas says. Hamas rocket technology is based on Iranian technology
and has included rockets smuggled from Iran in the past.

Who Won?
by Jonathan Rosenblum
Mishpacha Magazine
The temptation to declare which side won in Operation Guardian of the Walls must be resisted for two reasons. The first is that a great deal depends on the aftermath.
At the conclusion of the 2006 Second Lebanon War, the war was generally judged to be Israel's greatest ever military failure, and a national commission of inquiry was
appointed to investigate that failure. The war ended prime minister Ehud Olmert's political career, even before he went to jail on corruption charges.
For a month, residents of Israel's north either lived underground or fled southward to live with relatives or even complete strangers. And on the last day of the conflict,
Hezbollah was still able to fire as many missiles as it had throughout the fighting. Worse still, Hezbollah's fighters pretty much fought Israeli troops to a standstill for an entire month,
and killed over 33 Israeli soldiers in the last two days of combat, in what former chief of staff Boogie Yaalon labeled a "spin operation."
Yet in retrospect, it appears that the heavy Israeli bombing, including of the major electrical generator in Beirut, exacted a high enough price that Hezbollah has not fired
any comparable fusillades over the past 16 years. The aerial damage also generated significant hostility to Hezbollah among the Lebanese population, which is not something
that the terror group had counted on and of which it remains mindful.
The second difficulty in assessing winners and losers is that the two sides do not play according to the same scorecards. The civilian casualties suffered by Gazans would have been
viewed as a catastrophe by Israel. But for Hamas, dead civilians are an asset — the key to their strategy of delegitimizing Israel and whipping up anti-Semitic hatred around the globe.
No matter how many times Colonel Richard Kemp informs the world that "Israel does more to minimize civilian casualties than any country in the history of warfare," all Hamas
has to do is display a few dead women and children and all that is negated.
At one level, Hamas definitely secured a "victory" as soon as it directed seven rockets at Jerusalem — a victory over its rival, the Palestinian Authority, for dominance of the Palestinian street.
With that rocket launch, Hamas established itself as the true "defender" of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Despite calls in the PA media for one and all to elevate the level of confrontation with
Israel and to purchase knives to cut the throats of Jews, the PA lacks the power to damage Israel and to send Israelis scurrying for shelter that Hamas possesses.
UNQUESTIONABLY, Israel demonstrated impressive military capabilities, and perhaps, even more important, very good intelligence about Hamas operations. The latter must be extremely
unnerving to Hamas. Thus Israel was able to eliminate many senior Hamas commanders, with relatively little civilian damage. And those who were not killed were likely to have had
their luxury homes and vacation spas reduced to rubble. In short, they paid an immediate price, and they know that Israel knows where they are. Nor were the villas of Hamas's
political leadership spared.
Israel greatly degraded Hamas's war-making capacity — at least in the short run. In any fighting on the ground in Gaza, Hamas's greatest asset is the intricate labyrinth of underground
tunnels it has laboriously built. An estimated one-third of those tunnels were destroyed, and it will take years and billions of dollars to reconstruct them. Nor is it clear how the
people of Gaza will react if Hamas once again diverts most humanitarian aid to tunnel construction, especially now that it is clear that years of work can be wiped out in a few hours of bombing.
It also appears that Hamas's major weapons development and manufacturing facilities were largely destroyed, as were their unmanned submarines and drones and UAVs.
Twenty teams operating ATGMs (anti-tank guided missiles) were identified and eliminated.
The one area in which Israel did not have great success was in destroying rocket and rocket launchers. Hamas succeeded in firing 4,300 rockets, though over 600 of those were estimated
to have struck Gaza itself. And it was able to fire as many rockets in 11 days as it did in 50 days in 2014, and to strike targets in the center of the country.
Significantly, however, it was Hamas that sued for a cease-fire. And Israel's operations did not stop until it ran out of important targets to strike from the air.
THE ELEVEN DAYS OF FIGHTING was not just between Israel and Hamas, but also a proxy war between Israel and Iran, of which Hamas is a subsidiary. It remains to be seen how Iran will evaluate
the Israeli response, and what it might say about a subsequent confrontation between Israel and Hezbollah, which stayed out of the latest fighting almost entirely. (Hezbollah is even more
of a fully owned subsidiary of Iran than is Hamas.)
It is impossible to extrapolate from Hamas to Hezbollah. The latter is estimated to possess an arsenal of at least 130,000 missiles, many of them precision-guided missiles. In comparison,
Hamas's arsenal at the beginning of Operation Guardian of the Walls numbered no more than 15,000 rockets. Hezbollah's capacity to overwhelm Israel's Iron Dome is thus an order of
magnitude greater.
In a war with Hezbollah, Israel could not operate with the same surgical precision that it did against Hamas. Hezbollah has placed its missiles in private homes and civilian areas all over
southern Lebanon, and the Israeli Air Force would have no choice but to take out Hezbollah's launchers as quickly as possible, regardless of civilian casualties, and to strike hard at
Lebanon's infrastructure. (Hezbollah effectively controls the Lebanese government.)
THE CLEAREST TRIUMPH for Hamas was its success in inciting Israeli Arabs to attack their neighbors in mixed Arab and Jewish cities. In Lod, for instance, shuls and schools were fire-bombed.
Jews who fled their homes had them quickly ransacked by their former neighbors.
In a clip that went viral, the deputy mayor of Lod related how the seat in which his son sat in Talmud Torah was hit by a Molotov cocktail. "What am I supposed to tell my son?"
he said plaintively. "Your father can't protect you, the police can't protect you, the State of Israel can't protect you. Who would want to live here?"
Professor Hillel Frisch of the Begin-Sadat Center writes that the first priority of the Israeli government in the wake of the fighting is to confiscate tens of thousands of guns and other weapons
in the hands of criminal gangs in Arab towns and mixed Arab-Jewish cities. That is easier said than done, and almost certainly beyond the capabilities of the Israeli police alone.
But if it is not done, in the next eruption of fighting, the Arab-Jewish cities and major transportation routes near Arab towns are almost sure to become major battlegrounds.
Those gangs played a major role in the recent rioting. Already in the Galilee, no construction project can go forward without paying protection money to the Arab gangs,
and the situation in the Negev is, in many respects, worse.
HAMAS LEADER Ismail Haniyeh boasted that Hamas had succeeded in destroying dreams of peaceful coexistence between Arabs and Jews. At least with respect to Arab-Jewish cities,
that may be true. Just as in marriage, trust once destroyed is not easily restored. That does not appear to be true, however, with respect to the Arab countries that signed the
Abraham Accords. They offered only the most pro forma criticism of Israel's defensive actions.
Iran, as part of its long-term strategy of encirclement of Israel by proxies bent on its destruction, seeks to break down the current divisions between Palestinians in the West Bank,
those in Gaza, Arab residents of Jerusalem, and Arab citizens of Israel. Driving a stake into the heart of Arab-Jewish coexistence is part of that strategy.
The goal of Iran and its Islamist proxies is not a Palestinian state; it is the elimination of Israel. As senior Hamas politician Mahmoud al-Zahar told the BBC clearly, "Israel has no right to exist."
And a Palestinian state is not the goal: "Islamic views reject the notion of establishing an independent Palestinian state. In the past, there was no independent Palestinian state.
This is holy land, not the property of the Palestinians.... This land is property of all Muslims."
And that is why the creation of a Palestinian state is not just an intractable problem, but an insoluble one: Any such state would only become a launching pad for repeated attacks on Israel,
as Gaza has become.

Appalachia: There are deep roots in these mountains
By Salena Zito
Schoharie County marks the spot where Appalachia begins a 420-county journey through 13 states, including parts of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, in addition to all of West Virginia.
From beginning to end, the Appalachian region comprises 205,000 square miles that over 25 million people call home.
Many of the cities, villages, towns, and rural farms in this region were some of the first plots of land settled in North America beginning in the 17th century, long before there were united states. The original settlers were mostly Ulster Scots, fleeing religious persecution and looking for freedom and opportunity.
Family-oriented, they often kept to themselves and were early to identify themselves as part of this land and not part of any particular ethnic tribe. That is is why few of their decedents even know of their Scots heritage. For them, their stories began here, which is often reflected in both the oral history and the music that has come out of these hills.
The dialect here has a choppy twang that is sharp and often contains words left over from the early settlers. The farther south you go, the twang becomes more of a drawl. Outsiders and elites often associate it with a lack of education or intellect. Locals, in turn, hear the deliberate cadence of cosmopolitan elites, which often carries no dialect at all, and find that it lacks character and contains too many words to make a point.
Hollywood calls them hillbillies or rednecks. Politicians refer to them as deplorable, bitter clingers or Neanderthals. Corporations and sports entities ignore them. Academics and the media believe they are all racist. That last one makes many of them shake their heads and chuckle because they are more likely to work side by side with their hands or serve their country with a more diverse population than most elites ever will.

Eeyore’s Cabinet:
Living in Our Kingdom of Lies
By: Victor Davis Hanson
Victor Davis Hanson // Private Papers
Part One
Isn’t it true that almost every “big” news story of the last four years has proved to be an utter lie?
Moscow Fantasies
Do we even remember the months of the Russian collusion lies? The daily fare that in one hour or so Trump would be indicted and frog-marched, and the next hour he would turn state’s evidence? That Russians were in constant communications with the Trump campaign, that Carter Page was a Trump Russian “asset”? The Alpha Bank Russian computer pings? That Brennan and Clapper winked and nodded to us about their secret sources that proved Trump was going down.
How about the “end of Trump” Michael Cohen's “bombshells”? The Glenn Simpson courageous investigations? The brilliant Christopher Steele? The furrowed brows and pained looks of our best and brightest newsreaders talking of “bombshells” and end-of-the-world “walls are closing in” epitaphs for the Trump family?
How much wasted time, money, and resources went into James Comey’s various “operations” or into “Bob” Mueller’s 22 months of chasing his own tail? Or the wasted reportage on the DNC/Perkins Coie/Fusion GPS/Christopher Steele dossier firewalls, all leading back to the checkbook of an embittered Hillary Clinton, forever braying about a “stolen election,” which meant paying Steele to blame the Russians hadn’t worked?
And the super ship “dream team”? It wrecked itself on the shoals of Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and the forger Kevin Clinesmith.
Bat s–t
What happened to the bat/pangolin origins of COVID-19? And the “lies” of “racist” Trump spreading “conspiracy theories” about a leak from a Wuhan virology lab? Remember how it was racist for Trump to talk of the “China virus” even as his accusers repeated ad nauseum scare stories of the “Indian variant” and the “Brazil strain” and “The South African mutation” and the “UK bug”?
It was all a lie that the virus could not have been birthed through gain-of-function research and misadventure. It was all a lie that any who sought answers along those lines of inquiry was a “nut,” a “crank,” or indeed a “racist”? How much untold damage did the media do in silencing, Soviet-style, legitimate inquiry that might have made the nature of the epidemic far clearer, far earlier?
The Reichstag Capitol “Coup”
It was all a lie that organized, armed insurrectionists, in premeditated fashion, stormed the Capitol, murdered Officer Sicknick, caused the deaths of four others, and brought along plastic ties to round up progressive politicians as hostages—as requisite to taking over the country.
No leaders found. No plans uncovered. No arms possessed, much less used. No murdered officer. Natural deaths of all three others—except an unarmed protestor and military vet shot by a still unknown officer. No ties brought in by the protestors. No videos released by the government that might “prove an insurrection.”
So, what was “it”?
A buffoonish misadventure of mostly irate and unhinged protestors who in ad hoc fashion unlawfully entered the capitol and then rioted, and smashed stuff up?
It was not the “greatest assault on Washington since the Civil War”—unless you think the 9/11 blasting apart of the Pentagon was small stuff. Or was the 1932 Bonus March of over 20,000 angry vets, demanding past due military severance bonuses from World War I, no big deal? For 90 days they camped out near the Capitol—until steamrolled out by US troops firing on the crowd and backed by tanks.
Or do we remember the 1950 running gun battle between Secret Service agents and Puerto-Rican-nationalist assassins intent on killing President Harry Truman as he slept at Blair House? Or many more such gunmen reappearing four years later who shot down the House visitor’s gallery and wounded five congressmen?
Or how about left-winger James Hodgkinson’s murderous attempt to take out key Republicans while playing baseball? He was a former Sanders supporter who severely wounded US Majority House Whip Rep. Steve Scalise and three others. Or the six-day 1968 DC race riots that saw 12 die and 1,200 fires set, and about the same number of buildings destroyed or damaged. And on and on.
Instead, we were told to envision that the likes of some nut playing a Shaman in a cow costume and the leftwing Mr. Sullivan, a Black Lives Matter activist instigator, who egged on the crowd and who took films to sell on the internet, were the core ingredients of a preplanned rightwing revolution.
The Ol’ Joe Biden From Scranton Myth
And perhaps the most egregious lie? That good ol’ Joe Biden from Scranton was running to unite the nation, after Trump’s “tearing it apart.” At 78, Joe was still in his old nice-guy top form, or so we were told. Forget, the media ordered us, the stealth primary campaign, the basement refuge, as he outsourced to others the general campaign, the somnolent transition, the 10 AM-2 PM presidency, the falls, the slurred words, the weird stream of half-conscious outbursts, the now trademark creepy references to girls, the fantasy lies about no vaccinations before his inauguration, and the shouting and screaming for emphasis on his teleprompted, lose-your-way speeches.
Prune away the media lies, and the American people voted in a 78-year-old cognitively challenged president, whose myth of the return of a 1970s moderate was used as clumsy cover for a hard-left, 21st-century agenda’s take-over.

Soros loves Bard and The Bard loves Soros and I am not talking about Shakespeare:
George Soros Makes Massive Donation To Democrat Propaganda School
(JustPatriots.com)- Far-left
disruptor, investor, and billionaire George Soros has given an incredible $500
million endowment to renowned left-wing university Bard College in New York.
The university announced the huge donation from Soros, who has long supported
the university.
It’s the biggest grant ever made to
a university in the United States and will be used to build on Bard’s social
initiatives – meaning left-wing causes.
Bard is somewhat notorious in New
York. It sits near towns like Red Hook and Rhinebeck, which are traditionally
more Republican working towns that have slowly been transformed by left-wing
students invading the region and turning it into a hipster paradise. Rhinebeck
has seen most of the transformation but other smaller towns are now seeing an
influx of left-wing students.
Drive through the small working
towns in the picturesque landscapes surrounding Bard, and you’ll notice LGBT
and trans flags hanging from windows, along with BLM murals and posters.
George Soros really does just love
causing total disruption and chaos, doesn’t he?
Bard College President Leon Botstein
said it’s the “most historic moment” since the college was founded in 1860. He
explained that once the endowment is complete, they will have raised a total of
$1 billion from various other donations. He added that it will allow Bard to
continue to play a “progressive role in American education.”
If you’ve never heard of Bard, it’s
a liberal arts school that focuses heavily on the “liberal” side of the
equation.
Soros made the donation through his
Open Society University Network, which is a global network of schools that
promote far-left views of the world. The billionaire investor issued a
statement saying that Bard has an “outsized impact” and that it is “setting the
standard” in liberal arts educations through its various social programs and
international work.
