Summary

PREVIEW: An excerpt from a conversation with Peter Berkowitz of the Hoover Institution re the textbooks used in Palestinian schols in Gaza and the West Bank that are filled with antisemitism and hatred of outsiders -- and how this may be a beginning explanation as to how the October 7 attackers could carry out such horrors toward helpless human beings. Peter Berkowitz also connects this phenomenon to how some American youth have been taught to divide others into the oppressed and the oppressor, a predicate distortion that can lead to the antisemitism demonstrated in elite universities these last days.
