Fox News host Laura Ingraham believes that the pro-Hamas protests on college campuses are a sign of entitlement and sloth, with activists living in a "natural state of entitlement and sloth."
Fox News host Laura Ingraham has criticized the growing anti-Israel protests on college campuses, calling the activists involved "hateful" and accusing them of living in a "natural state of entitlement and sloth."
In her opening monologue on "The Ingraham Angle," Ingraham argued that the students participating in these protests are part of a new generation of activists who consider George Floyd a hero and believe America is inherently racist. She said they feel emboldened because they believe they will always have cover from the liberals who run their colleges and universities.
Ingraham also suggested that some of the activists are simply ignorant of the situation in Israel and Palestine, while others are driven by antisemitism or boredom. She claimed that most of the protesters cannot afford to skip classes or neglect their studies, but are doing so because they feel entitled to do so.
The Fox News host pointed to former President Barack Obama's encouragement of young people to become community organizers as a contributing factor to the rise of campus activism. She said that the students know they have the support of campus and city law enforcement, which allows them to continue their protests without fear of punishment.
Ingraham's comments have sparked controversy, with some accusing her of generalizing about college students and demonizing those who support the Palestinian cause. Others have defended her right to express her opinion, arguing that the protests on college campuses have become increasingly hostile and intolerant of opposing viewpoints.
The debate over the pro-Hamas protests on college campuses is likely to continue, with both sides presenting different perspectives on the issue. It is important to note that Ingraham's views are not universally shared, and that there are a wide range of opinions on this matter.
