The Crisis of Knowledge and the American University:
|
America today stands at the crossroads of history. The impoverished, war-weary, and despairing masses are rising in rebellion against the most corrupt and inhuman ruling elite the world has ever seen. The American State's unabashed financial, military, and ideological support for Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza has further deepened this crisis of legitimacy, fundamentally upending the political calculus of one of the most consequential elections in this country’s history. On one hand, this is a moment of shared outrage and disbelief at the barbarity of the “civilized” West. Equally, this is a moment of reckoning that calls for ideological clarity and moral courage.
At the heart of this reckoning is the crisis of the American University, precipitated by the brave and moral stand taken by students all over the country against the genocide in Gaza. The brutal repression of these protests exposes the unparalleled Zionist influence over America’s elite universities, and their inseparable ties to the war agenda of an imperialist State. Neither is such repression without historical precedent, but our time presents new questions that need new answers.
