My latest at PJ Media:
Anyone who may still be skeptical about the assertion that today’s college students are taught to hate America should take three minutes to watch this video from filmmaker Ami Horowitz, in which he asks students at the University of California, Berkeley to pledge money to the Taliban so that the jihad terror group can strike inside the United States and kill Americans.
“We’re trying to raise money for the Taliban,” Horowitz tells student passersby, and as if that wasn’t hard enough in itself to believe, he piles on more absurdities: “Tax deductible. I mean, if you earn money in Afghanistan, so that’s probably less helpful to you guys.” Horowitz explains to one man: “We’re Taliban 2.0. We’re kinder, gentler. Not really, but okay. You know, it’s our, it’s the way, it’s the way we roll.”
Those who stand there and take all that seriously get even more: “We want to be able to train our fighters to fight back against American interests. There’s a lot of weapons that were left there, we need money to train them how to use it against American forces.” It gets even worse: “We want to train our fighters to strike back against American interests around the world and in the homeland.”
Horowitz knows just what to say to move woke Berkeley students to open their wallets: “Before America got there, we used it as a base to strike against America. We want to do that again….We got to fight back, you know? And America’s destroying the world, and we want to secure it for striking against the American homeland.” He tells another student: “So we want to be able to create a bulwark against America in Afghanistan, to fund and help its enemies around the world strike back against American interests, both abroad and in the homeland.” And: “Basically we want to create a safe space for enemies of the United States….9/11 was a lesson, but this is, they didn’t learn their lesson from 9/11. We want them to do that again like we did it in 2001.”
The pitch couldn’t have been clearer that the money was going to go for jihad massacres on American soil. Horowitz tells a student that he wants to “create a safe haven for America’s enemies.” To another avidly listening young woman, he says, “We want to strike the US both abroad and in the homeland, to teach them a lesson. Life means nothing to them, and America needs to be brought to heel.” The student replied: “Very true.”
Other students in the video respond enthusiastically as well. To one young woman, Horowitz says, “I don’t know if you know that much about American imperialism.” She responds, “Oh, yes, yeah.” Horowitz continues: “So you know how damaging the US is.” Her reply: “Definitely!”
There is more. Read the rest here.

when I think of all the Long Suffering Good People I know from places like afghan iran (Persia) syria pakstan iraq etc, and how this Diverse Overwhelming Moral Majority Respect and Appreciate the Freedom Liberty & Human Rights that the West has so generously provided them, it disgusts me to hear these ‘woke’ imbeciles cowing to such ignorant malfeasance….. what an insult to refugees who have escaped from the dysfunctional fiefdoms.
gravenimage says
Actually, many Muslims who have immigrated here are anything but grateful–and more than half of Muslims in the US want to impose brutal Shari’ah law here–as well as those who wage violent Jihad against us.
You are right about these “woke’ fools at so many universities, though.

Typical American student dumb as a box of rocks and being educated by communists and islamists.
This the next generation of adults and America is doomed

I watched this video some time ago…it seems like months, probably just days, but I knew from watching others by Mr. Ami Horowitz, that he would have people agreeing to give him money.
He had one previously about taking away freedom of speech, and one about forcing people to get the jab or taking away their “rights.”
It’s great that with each one, he finds at least one person who will call him out, or ask him if he’s joking/kidding.
It just shows these “students” are not using the brain that God gave them to think, to reason, and not just ‘go with the flow’ of whatever is being said with passion or enthusiasm.
Stan says
Horowitz is excellent. His critique of the UN is great. To be fair, he is a pro and these are college students no doubt overly susceptible to any alternative political philosophy or counter-culture thoughtline.
somehistory says
Any person who decides to go for “higher learning,” should at least know how to reason on things. He did mention that the taliban are the **enemies** of Americans (which they all sounded like they probably are), and that the terror group might be planning another 9/11 if they could get the funding. (any fool can see from the internet images what that was like, even if they don’t blame mozlums for the death and destruction). He also spoke to most of them about paying America back for going over to afghanistan in the first place.
They are old enough to see that even if they were not alive to know who flew the planes, to think of the taliban doing it, should enter the brain cells. I would be wondering **where** they might fly the planes as the Towers are no more. They should have wondered the same.
They are “college students,” but they should be old enough to stop and think about what he was actually saying.
gravenimage says
Yes–Ami Horowitz was *very* clear, even mentioning a new 9/11.
tgusa says
I don’t think a college education will do any good for these students. If I were to think about going back to college to take a class in this or that I would just decide to read the book and forget about college classes altogether. Doing it that way I would be saving time and money. Even back in the day I would read the book and wait for the test. Easy peasy.
somehistory says
Pretty much a waste of time and money, but those making loans make a huge bit of money, so kids are encouraged to go…whether or not they are prepared to “think” or actually lean something useful.
tgusa says
I have always wondered why it has taken so long for colleges to offer on line instruction for those that want it. Offer that to those who can do much of the thinking on their own.You can get a good degree through a reputable institution for not very much money. I have done that for someone close to me. Very affordable. It was not an underwater basket weaving degree from a prominent and expensive college or university. I expected them to go towards a degree in science. This was all before our recent kung flu hysteria. Now, that way, makes even more sense.
mortimer says
There are two distinctly different cultures in the US today: the traditional Americans and the globalist neo-Marxists who are actually more like globalist Fascists.

UC Berkeley Students Happily Pledge Money to Help the Taliban Kill Americans Inside the U.S.
…………………
Ami Horowitz actually comes right out and talks about doing another 9/11–and many of these fools are good with that.
UC Berkeley is my alma mater–I could not be more appalled.
And this is not the first video he has done here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2MyO41In1w&ab_channel=FoxNews
Here he is, waving the ISIS flag there. I know this was covered here at Jihad Watch, as well.
mortimer says
As an alumna of Berkeley, your protest may carry weight with the board of directors. Berkeley’s top authorities have a duty to look into this aberration in thought and find where it is coming from … and then STOP IT.
The American federal government should not financially support a university that teaches its students to SUPPORT TERRORISM AGAINST THE UNITED STATES.
gravenimage says
Probably not, Mortimer–doesn’t mean I don’t try, though.
And I only donate to a few very specific projects that cannot be used for any of this “woke” nastiness.

The left hates America and Americans and they are all over the place. The sad thing is that for the first time in my life I don’t like America as it has become. If you think that is my fault for not being patriotic that is not true. Look to DC and the establishment if you are wondering who is to blame for the way I now think. I would wager that if you took a poll on, do you like America as it is today, you would get a majority voting no. The sun is setting on traditional America as it has been for hundreds of years and barring something like an act of God or civil war I don’t see any way out of it. America may survive but it wont be anything like it used to be. I am glad I’m not a young American. I am glad I got to live my life in a better America. I don’t even feel comfortable in America any longer and through the years and decades, the good times and the not so good, that is new to me too. Still, I really hate the way that the establishment, the left and their anti Americans have made me feel.
I recently tried to watch an interview with the guy to shot bin laden. I had to turn it off after a few minutes. I just couldn’t watch as a result of what came after. I literally cannot stand to look at a picture of Bush or any of the others. They disgust me. Billions of dollars, our dollars, taken from us, down the drain. Importing tens of thousands in to our neighborhoods. The rapes have already started. I am not denigrating any patriotic Americans efforts over the last 20 years. It was the establishment that has denigrated their service and sacrifice. The establishment, both parties, crapped on their efforts, not me. I fear America has passed the point of no return and what comes next is anybody’s guess.If anyone has any counter ideas, proposals or corrections as to what I wrote, I’m listening.
I now consider the money taken from our hard earned work, grand theft. The way that the establishment does it, extortion.

Don’t give up, tgusa! American needs you and other patriotic Americans now more than ever.

I’m not. Just getting angrier and I would have rather not had to go that way. Extreme contempt is where I am at.

Those students along with Joe Biden should be arrested for treason.
Johnny B says
The left has created a whole generation of traitors. You may shake your head and chuckle at this video, but these are the future leaders and when you think about what that means for the future of America and Europe we’re headed for a very dark future. It’s as if the whole foundations has been destroyed and we’re basically just waiting for the final outcome which is complete and utter destruction as soon as the next storm hits.
gravenimage says
Shaking my head, yes–but no chuckling on my part.
Johnny B says
Not sure if “chuckle” is the correct term. But this video is so rich in irony it’s kind of funny when you think about it. These people are supposed to be the best and the brightest and they want to finance their own demise at such a young age!? Also when the interviewer refers to “America” he says “they”. The students obviously don’t realise he’s accusing THEM. If anybody ever enjoyed the fruits of what America has accomplished it must be this spoiled and self-righteous generation who probably never worked a day in their lives. I guess your right, it’s not funny at all actually…
somehistory says
It’s cringe-worthy. Disgusting that so many young people…supposed to be the “future”…who will be doctors, lawyers, politicians, etc….if they manage to either graduate or get one of those professors/college admins that make sure they can “graduate,” whether or not they know the stuff being taught., can’t see evil when it is so clearly presented.
Who wants to be taken care of by any of these “best and brightest” that are not very good at thinking?
gravenimage says
This is so true. Even forty years ago I was stunned at how many students there seemed to hate America, even though it gave them so much freedom. (I am not talking about just being critical of individual policies, but hating the whole concept of America). Most of them also had pretty much no conception of life outside the West.
I had grown up very poor and applied to Berkeley while I was living on the street (I ran away from my abusive home at 15). I never took going to university for granted. Luckily, most of the actual classes at Berkeley were still very good–but even then you could see the “political correctness” seeping in around the edges…
tgusa says
We are in a battle for the soul of ourselves and our nations and every day many are being converted to reality. We tried to do it the nice way but that hasn’t worked. Sometimes it looks bleak and that is the way the left wants this battle portrayed. Because we are just now realizing our mistakes and getting started with what must be done it is only the beginning. So don’t wait, keep pushing, keep spreading the word, converting others in to reality, no matter what the left tries to do to you or fool you with. Our fight is based in truth, their fight is based in lies. I’m not a gambler but if I was I would put my money on our side.
Westman says
Every “new” thing, good or evil, seems to begin in California. Then it infects the west coast states and spreads eastward.
The new religion of liberalism and wokeness is searching for the cause of its emptiness in others instead of itself. It has no life plan and no eschatology; unable to answer, “Why are we here, and where are we going?” The devaluation of the unwoke is not a recipe for peace, harmony, and understanding.
john smith says
Well, he went to the right place looking for donations, these universities nowadays have become breeding grounds for those who lack just basic intelligence. He should of given Russel Brand a call while he was at it, he’s a classic example of what they are producing.
