Seth Leibsohn: A Massive Moral Crisis

Wednesday, October 8, 2025

A major US ally, dedicated to religious pluralism and social and civil rights like few others was victim to one of the most major and gruesome terrorist attacks recorded.  That attack came from a movement of bloodlust and an ideology mortally opposed to social and civil rights.  On the two-year commemoration of that attack, college students and adults alike protested the victim on behalf of the terrorist movement.

The ally is Israel.

The terrorists: Hamas.

And from campuses to the streets, massive rallies, using Hamas insignia and propaganda, marched for Hamas.

Only two years after the slaughter of innocents, where over 50 Americans were killed and taken hostage, it’s difficult to understand such sympathy for the devil on our campuses and in major cities. But, then again, two years ago a major poll showed thirty percent of Gen. Z thought Osama bin Laden was a force for good.

Treating any of this as an education issue is wrong. Such sympathies for the demonic are not education problems, they reveal a massive moral crisis.
