Following the tragic terror attacks in Israel on October 7th, there has been a disturbing increase in attacks against individuals of the Jewish faith within the United States. According to Dr. Phil, university leaders are failing to address and rectify the situation, exacerbating the problem.

From Breitbart:
In a video that went viral over the weekend in the wake of UPenn President Liz Magill resigning for her position after her disastrous Congressional testimony, Dr. Phil said that university leaders exhibited a “sickening smugness” on Capitol Hill.
Most noteworthy, during the testimony, the leaders of Harvard University, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania refused to say that calling for the genocide of Jews was tantamount to bullying and harassment, consistently referring to what they called a “proper context.”
“To be 100% clear, using the dictionary definition of genocide, the question becomes, does calling for the deliberate killing of a large number of Jews with the aim of destroying the Jewish ethnic group and the nation of Israel violate your policy against bullying and harassment?” McGraw explained.
Dr. Phil filmed his video at the Trinity Broadcasting Network studio in Dallas.
“How much context would be required if the student organizations were demonstrating in support of genocide of all Asians, Catholics, blacks or gays?” McGraw asks after reviewing clips from the leaders’ testimonies.
“‘I’ll tell you how much: none,” he asserted. “And you know what? There should be none. All of these groups deserve protection and the right to attend school without fear, and so do the Jewish students.”
Dr. Phil echoes the sentiments of many who oppose the genocide of any group, irrespective of one's stance on the conflict.
Frankly, permitting hate speech against Israel within universities is a recipe for fueling more animosity, deepening divisions, and potentially escalating into violence.
