<p>Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro gave remarks at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, on Monday, which marked the anniversary of Hamas’ brutal attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.</p>
<p>Around 1,200 people were murdered and hundreds taken captive by Hamas terrorists who crossed Israel’s border last year to carry out the deadliest attack against the Jewish people since the Holocaust. In an interview-style speech with the Young America’s Foundation and hosted by the Buckley Institute at Yale, Shapiro discussed what October 7 revealed about college campuses in the U.S.</p>
<p>“I think that October 7 revealed a lot of truths about the world that the West has been hesitant to address. One of the biggest truths was revealed in the days after October 7 when, even before Israel’s retaliation began … there were widespread protests across the West, particularly on college campuses in favor of Hamas, in favor of Hezbollah, in favor of those who would extirpate Israel from the planet,” Shapiro said.</p>
<p>“The extent of the rot at the core of American education has been truly revealed over the course of the last year,” he added. “[October 7] is not just a day of mourning; it’s a reminder of what happens when the West goes to sleep on its own principles, when it imports people who don’t believe in the West’s principles, and when it cultivates an entire generation of people who don’t believe in the mission of its civilization.”</p>
<p>Yale, along with numerous other prestigious American universities, has been scrutinized for allowing anti-Israel sentiment to fester on campus in the wake of Hamas’ attack on Israel. In a closed-door meeting in June, former Yale President Dr. Peter Salovey was <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/closed-committee-interviews-university-presidents-scheduled-anti-semitism-probe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">grilled</a> by members of Congress over anti-Semitism on campus.</p>
<p>In April, anti-Israel students at Yale <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/yale-students-threaten-hunger-strike-if-anti-israel-demands-are-not-met" target="_blank" rel="noopener">demanded</a> that the Ivy League school divest from weapons manufacturers “contributing to Israel’s assault on Palestine,” threatening to go on a hunger strike if their demands were not met. Just last week, hundreds of students at Yale <a href="https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2024/09/30/students-march-for-lebanon-and-palestine-block-traffic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">marched</a> and chanted anti-Israel slogans, such as, “Zionism is a crime, from Lebanon to Palestine” and “raise your hand, make a fist, Palestinians will resist… Lebanese will resist.”</p>

<p>Shapiro said there is still hope for higher education institutions such as Yale, “but donors are going to have to start threatening to withdraw their money.”</p>
<p>“And employers are going to have to start looking at degrees from Yale and determining if they are in fact worth the paper they are written on,” he continued, adding, “And by the way, I’m not singling out Yale. The same thing is true of my alma mater, Harvard, which is having very similar experiences. It’s true for most of the major universities in the country at this point.”</p>
