Zionism is the moral rot that has crept into our ruling class. Our Congress is almost unanimous in its approval for the obliteration of two million Palestinians in Gaza. And the House has just passed a resolution, not condemning the slaughter, but labeling any criticism of it as antisemitism. Our doddering president is ineffectual at best when it comes to most issues that affect the working class. But when it comes to this genocide, he is its biggest cheerleader, the ghost of Henry Kissinger.
The ruling class in our nation's colleges and universities are cast from the same mold. The presidents and boards of directors spend their time threatening and expelling students for protesting this genocide. How is it that college students know more about international law and human rights than their academic administrators? It is a world turned upside down, where college presidents spend their time pleasing wealth donors, while threatening anyone else in their academic communities if they think too much.
Perhaps were are in the last stage of the empire, when our elites think about nothing else but dollar signs. When it comes to life and death issues, they are moral monsters, eager to give Israel more explosives for the Palestinian holocaust.
It is tempting to think about how our system could be less corrupt. How it could serve the interests of the rest of us, if only it wanted to. But now, all it wants is Palestinian blood. We must take to the streets to preserve our humanity.
