Campus ‘Palestine’ Hysteria, Iran Negotiation Doubts, and Why Blue States Are Bleeding Wealth | VDH

About this episode

Recent polling from Pew Research shows young Americans—especially Democrats under 30—favor Palestinians over Israelis, which Victor Davis Hanson attributes to campus-driven mass-cult politics, celebrity activism, and a Marxist oppressor-victim framework rather than historical knowledge. Hanson argues the post–Oct. 7 anti-Israel surge was not tied to events in Gaza and compares it to fading fads like Me Too and BLM, while criticizing prominent anti-Israel figures and “cosmic morality” that ignores concrete victims. Hanson touch on U.S.-Israel-Iran tensions, questioning claims that Israel wants war to continue and criticizing conspiracy narratives about Jews and the Mossad. Hanson then contrasts James Monroe’s presidency and the Monroe Doctrine with Bill Clinton’s record, praising Clinton-era budget surpluses while condemning his character and ruthless politics. The show also criticizes Tim Walz’s reaction to deporting a pardoned child rapist and argues California and New York are losing millionaires and billionaires due to taxes and bad governance.
