It’s a double standard!

Joe Scarborough questions Prof. Scott Galloway from NYU:
“One of my pet peeves seems to be one of your pet peeves, and that is, you know, 2 million people have been killed in the Sudan civil war. I haven’t seen a protest at NYU for that. Assad killed 500 (sic) Arabs, I didn’t see colleges burned down. 500,000 Arabs killed by Assad. Saddam Hussein killed over a million Muslims in wars, gassed them. I didn’t see protests there. Yet, your school is shut down right now because Israel is responding to the worst attack against Jews worldwide since the Holocaust. Help us sort through that. Again, I don’t know algebra, but I’m pretty good at the common denominators here, and why there’s no common denominators in all of these. It’s just that it’s Jews defending their homeland. Because I look at the numbers, even with American wars, they don’t add up.”

Professor Scott Galloway replies:
“2,200 American servicemen killed at Pearl Harbor. We go on to kill 3.5 million Japanese, including 100,000 in one night.
2,800 Americans in 9/11. We go on to kill 400,000 people in Afghanistan and Iraq. We weren’t accused of genocide.
If Mexico had elected a jihadist cartel to run their country and they incurred into Texas, and on a per capita basis killed 35,000 people, a population of the University of Texas, and on the way back, took the freshmen class at SMU hostage and hid them under tunnels, what would we do? It’d be the great Sonora radioactive parking lot! But Jews are not allowed, and Israel is not allowed to prosecute a war. And they are prosecuting a war more humanely than we have done. The ratio of combatants to civilians is — of civilian death to combatant mortality is lower than it was in Mosul, lower than it was in Japan, lower than it was in Germany. So there’s just a different standard for Jews and Israel when it comes to prosecuting a war. They’re allowed to fight back to a truce. But unlike America or any other Western nation that is attacked as viciously, they’re not allowed to win a war. It’s a double standard.”
