Student Antisemitism: Blame Arab Billions Funding K-12 Schools

The anti-Israel student mob targeting a pro-Israel Jewish teacher at radicalized Hillcrest High School in Queens, New York should not have come as a surprise. In their mission to convert America into an Islamic state governed under the ruthless Shariah law, Arab countries have funded K-12 to create young jihadists.
​
Since the mid-1970s there has been a steady infusion of billions of Arab petro-dollars into the infrastructure of American education to change public opinion toward Islam and to influence U.S. policy toward Israel. The project began with colleges in the mid-1970s and then K-12 in the 1990s with initial funding from Saudi Arabia.
In a 1989 speech, Islamic activist Sharifa Alkhateeb explains why public education must be used to convert America to Islam, “We do not want to melt into American society and disappear. We want to go into American society with Islamic ideals and revamp their thinking. We want to revamp them. We want to turn them into Muslim individuals.” As a prominent member of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood-linked Muslim Students Association, president of the terrorist Hamas-linked North American Council for Muslim Women and teacher, she was a powerful voice for how to gain Islamic control over public education.
Revised textbooks promote Islam through false information, deliberate omission of critical information, sugarcoating Islamic extremism, and the use of innuendo to plant seeds of bias toward Christians, Jews and Western civilization. World history textbooks focus on Islam while including only a few denigrating passages about Christianity and Judaism. The largest textbook publishers are complicit in the treason, including McDougal Littell, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and McGraw-Hill/Glencoe.
A steady diet of these anti-Israel, anti-Christian, pro-Palestinian lessons is guaranteed to create good little Muslim jihadists.
· Jesus was a “Palestinian Jew” who grew up in Galilee amidst “militant Zealots.”
· While Islamic Arab warriors “rarely imposed their religion by force,” Christian monks “by contrast,” were busy converting “peoples of Central and Eastern Europe.”
· Israel is to blame for terrorist attacks by Palestinians because they were “angered over the loss of their territory.”
· When the Jewish state of Israel was born in 1948, the nation and its neighbors “went to war.”
· It was because of the “loss of their territory to Israel” that “militant Palestinians responded with a policy of terrorist attacks.”
· “The Quran permitted fair, defensive warfare as jihad, or ‘struggle in the way of God'” and this was how Muhammad and his successors expanded their territory.
Founder and director of the Muslim Brotherhood-connected Council on Islamic Education (now Institute for Religion and Civic Values), Shabbir Mansuri boasted that he is waging a “bloodless cultural” revolution in American K-12 by working within the system to change textbooks and curriculum. By reviewing textbooks for major publishers, writing lesson plans, and giving seminars to teachers, the organization directly impacts the classroom where young jihadists are being created.
Almost all of the colleges which write K-12 textbooks on the Middle East have received massive funding from Arab nations. The Higher Education Act of 1965 created the Title VI program that provides federal subsidies to university programs of Middle East Studies to pursue public outreach. To receive funding, the centers are required to design lesson plans and seminars on the Middle East for American K-12 teachers. Our own federal government, which both subsidizes and approves these special courses, has been derelict in maintaining oversight of the program – or do they choose to turn a blind eye to the treason?
Georgetown is one of the universities receiving Arab money while contracted with the federal government under Title VI to write K-12 textbooks on the Middle East. From 1986 to 2018, Georgetown received nearly $139 million of unreported funds from Qatar, according to a 2021 report by Executive Director of the American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise Mitchell Bard, making it second only to Cornell University in receiving Arab funding. Consequently, Title VI has become a Trojan horse for Muslim influence over American K-12 education.
Bard’s report notes that, from 1986 to 2021, Arab nations have funneled nearly $8.5 billion into higher education with Qatar leading at $4.3 billion. Not only is Qatar by far the largest investor in American universities, but an ally of Hamas and one of the largest supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), has just released a report that found a distinct correlation between massive amounts of money from Middle Eastern sources and higher levels of intolerance toward “Jews, open inquiry and free expression.”
With fifty years of Arab money channeling the narrative in American classroom and textbooks, it’s no surprise that many Americans have joined the protests against Israel and Jews while supporting Palestinians. When will they organize violent protests against Christians? Don’t think it can happen? Public schools are forcing students to embrace Islamic values and traditions while those of Christians are violated and even outlawed. Muslims have infiltrated our churches where they influence naive, passive Christians and weak-kneed pastors.
Why is America allowing foreign money to influence our culture, our religion, and our foreign policy? Why are our young children being exposed to a tyrannical, violent ideology that flies under the banner of “peaceful religion”? Why are we allowing schools to teach lessons designed to twist the minds of young boys to become maniacal jihadists?
The solution to stopping the infusion of Muslim ideals in America is simple: Stop all foreign funding of education with penalties for accepting the money and additional penalties for concealing the receipt of the donation, and scuttle the federal Title VI funding of Islamic curriculum.
Stealth Jihad in American Education

Article By Dr. Carole Hornsby Haynes
Since the terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas, college campus rallies in support of the barbaric act have erupted across the nation. Although world focus is on Israel, this is only one part of the global plan of Islam.
Islamic law -- Shari’ah -- requires Jihad to be waged as "warfare against non-Muslims” until all the world is under Islamic law. Jihadist doctrine is advanced by both violent techniques and “civilization jihad,” a stealth subversive effort to destroy Western civilization from within a nation by its own hand. The pattern of Islam is to use the courts, schools, art museums, and other major institutions including outreach to churches to infiltrate, gradually introduce Shari’ah, and then finally takeover a nation. American education is a prime target.
For decades billions of petro-dollars have been donated to American universities for the purpose of altering public opinion and U.S. foreign policies. This subversive shaping of the mindset has reached a wide swath of American society through students studying for careers in banking, business, law, public health, education and urban studies. Through university outreach, programs on the Middle East are developed and provided to K-12 and adult education students.
Gifts to American universities are designed also to enhance the image of the Arab states and their rulers, effectively tamping down public criticism of Muslim hostility to Jews as well as Christians. One of the more recent donors and the largest investor in universities, Qatar has an image problem as a funder and supporter of both terrorist groups – Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood – and as home base to the rabidly anti-Israel, anti-American Al Jazeera.
Former English diplomat John Kelly noted, “They expect a return upon their donations to institutions of learning and their subsidies to publishing houses; whether it be in the form of subtle propaganda on behalf of Arab or Islamic causes, or the preferential admission of their nationals, however unqualified . . . or the publication of the kind of sycophantic flim-flam about themselves and their countries which now clutters sections of the Western press and even respectable periodical literature.”
Arab donations between 1986 and October 2022 totally nearly $11 billion with more than 10,000 contracts and gifts spread across 273 institutions. The total is grossly underestimated because numerous donations have gone unreported. Beginning with Aramco’s funding in the early 1950s, donors from Arab states have quietly made contributions to American universities, hijacking the field of Middle East Studies with faculty, including college presidents, who have been bought for 13 pieces of silver and are using their positions to advance political agendas that are pro-Arab/Palestinian, anti-Israel, and pro-Islam.
Though the far left has never had any real political power, they have controlled the social and cultural narrative. During the summer of 2020, academics defended looting and/or supported the destruction of the nuclear family while Fortune 500 CEOs did nothing. The most extreme actions actually enjoyed greater publicity.
The brutality of Hamas in murdering babies, raping women, and taking the elderly and disabled as hostages was cheered on by left wing student groups. Academics also weighed in. A Cornell University professor speaking at a recent pro-Palestine rally called the attacks “exhilarating.” A Stanford University instructor told her Jewish students to stand in a corner like “Israel does to Palestinians.” Other academics have posted their support on social media. Administrators remained silent.
Now it seems the radical left has gone too far. People are standing up and saying enough is enough. It began with Bill Ackman, the hedge fund billionaire who found an open letter signed by over 30 student groups from Harvard – his alma mater -- which blamed Israel instead of Hamas for the murders. Ackman and several other CEOs contacted Harvard to get a list of the members of each Harvard organization that issued the letter. They are refusing to hire anyone who signed the letter. Job offers to some graduates already have been rescinded.
Marc Rowan, the chairman of the board of overseers at Wharton who donated $50 million to the school in 2018, called for donors to cease any further donations until the university’s leadership changes. Vahan Gureghian, a member of the University of Pennsylvania’s board of trustees, resigned. The Huntsman family announced they have closed their checkbook on all future giving to Penn. David Magerman, who helped build the trading systems of Renaissance Technologies, said he will cease funding to Penn. The 80th richest man in the world, Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer and his wife Batia, resigned from the executive board of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.
Others followed. Playboy cut ties with the porn star Mia Khalifa for cheerleading the massacres in Israel.
Some of Hollywood’s biggest stars are speaking up in support of Israel. Even TMZ got in on the game, reporting that Black Lives Matter Chicago has embraced the terrorism of Hamas. From Sopranos fan sites to artists and comedians to any number of household names. LeBron James. The Rock. Reese Witherspoon.
Meanwhile, all those rabid Harvard activists who gleefully signed a pro-murder statement were in a blind panic and tried to explain away their participation, saying they did not read the letter. Sure. Are we to believe that very smart Harvard students do not read before they sign? Public beware of Harvard educated lawyers. At the end, all students removed their names. They are learning that actions do have consequences.
First there was Bud Light and then Target, followed by the snowballing scandal surrounding Ibram Kendi’s antiracism center at Boston University. With the loss of donors, university administration suddenly see the virtue in institutional neutrality. Harvard, Northwestern and Stanford’s presidents have issued statements that they will cease responding to political, geopolitical, or social issues that do not directly impact the core mission of their universities. They should have adopted this policy long ago. These cocky academics seem to care little that the public has lost confidence in higher education and, more especially, elite universities.
As Ackman pointed out, “None of these institutions are solvent without the support of their alumni. Perhaps this is the beginning of a catalyst for change.” The question is whether it is too late for these arrogant institutions to regain their reputations.
Most important is that no foreign money be allowed to flow into our educational institutions to shape the mindset of students and influence American policy to support a radical ideology. Since its birth in 1987, Hamas has declared its aim is to destroy Israel. The fact is this Islamic terrorist group intends to annihilate not just Jews but anyone who is not a Muslim.
The pro-Hamas rallies where students celebrated the mass murders and beheadings show just how successful the indoctrination has been. Since the United States shares with Israel the greatest number of the world's Jewish population, allowing Islamic indoctrination of students creates an enemy within and poses a dire threat to our national security.
