Dennis Prager argues Harvard students ignore a two-year Ethiopian civil war that killed 500,000 people and saw 100,000 women raped, while obsessing over Israel-Gaza because it involves a Jewish state. He blames secularism for moral decay and calls the educated elite ignorant of the real tragedy.
I lament deeply, deeply, I lament the decline of Christianity. We are not in a post-Christian world, my friends. We are in a pre-Judeo-Christian world. We are reverting to pre-Old Testament values like the worship of nature, and we're getting close to human sacrifice. I'm telling you, this has been the issue of my life, the consequences of secularism. It's been the one consistent theme of all of my work in life since my 20s. Everybody knows the consequences of bad religion, and there are. There are bad religious people and have been and still are. However, secularism is a dead end. Even though there are many nice secular people, it is a dead end. I was talking to you last hour. I just mentioned in passing the civil war in Ethiopia, about which you probably know nothing. I don't blame you because the press doesn't report it. The preoccupation is with Israel, where I don't know what is the latest, the latest figure of Palestinians killed in Gaza. I don't know, is it 20,000? And that's everybody, including, and that by the way, we have no idea. And I reviewed with you why there is no reason to believe the data coming from Hamas. I mean, all of a sudden Hamas is a truth teller. But let's say it's true. Let's keep that number in mind. There is a civil war, there has been for 2 years in Ethiopia. 500,000 people have been killed. 500,000, overwhelmingly civilians. Now you don't even know about it, let alone is there, are there any marches on campuses Because they don't care about anybody except those who are fighting Jews. J-E-W-S. Israel is Jewish, so they hate Israel. You can't give me another good reason. It's the only Jewish state on earth. It's the size of New Jersey. So 60,000 Black Christians in West Africa slaughtered, raped, tortured, kidnapped by Muslims. Nothing. 2% of Harvard students don't know it has happened. 0% know about Ethiopia. Oh, they're just dead Blacks killed by Blacks. What do we care? Half a million. What do we care? We're college students. We care about Israel. Palestinians are very lucky that their enemy is the Jewish state. Otherwise, nobody would know how to spell the word Palestinian. Half a million in Ethiopia in 2 years. Nothing. And the number of women raped is approximately 100,000. 100,000. So much for those of you fools who believe that human nature is basically good. Oh, what a stupid belief. What a stupid belief. It gets me so angry, as you can tell. Just thought I'd share that with you. I'm not a fan of stupidity, but the well-educated are the stupidest and the most likely to believe people are basically good.
