EXCLUSIVE: Shapiro Exposes Academia’s Support for Hamas; Why YAF’s Work Is ‘Unbelievably Important’

Young America’s Foundation sat down for an exclusive interview with Ben Shapiro at his most recent campus lecture, hosted by the Young Americans for Freedom chapter at the University of Florida, to get his thoughts on why leftists on college campuses are openly supporting terror groups such as Hamas.

“The truth is, for a very long time, professors and administrators at major college campuses have been supportive of terror groups, including Hamas and Hezbollah, all the way back to when I was in college,” he said. 

“What’s happening right now is that the mask is coming off and people are beginning to notice. All of that was hidden under the surface of broader “anti-Zionist concerns,” or opposition to policies of the state of Israel, or oppositions to Benjamin Netanyahu.”

“And it turns out that all of that was a lie – that what that really was is simply a cover for Jew hatred, which is why you’re seeing mass protest in favor of Hamas. That’s why you’re seeing solidarity on behalf of Hamas.”

What YAF is doing on campus is really important because in exposing what’s going on on college campuses and bringing outside voices in, that does take the mask off, and what that means is either higher education has to change, or it’s going to die,” Shapiro remarked.

Young America’s Foundation is honored to have the opportunity to work with Ben Shapiro, his colleagues at the Daily Wire, and more than 100 other speakers, to bring much-needed conservative messages to high school and college campuses nationwide.
