Rantz: ‘Privileged white male Homo sapien on a trajectory to decolonize myself’ speaks at antisemitic WWU event

A self-identified “privileged white male Homo sapien on a trajectory to decolonize” himself spoke at a recent anti-Israel panel at Western Washington University in Bellingham.

“I live in Bellingham, Washington, and I like to tell people that I’m a privileged white male Homo sapien on a trajectory to decolonize myself, and that’s exactly how I approach this struggle,” the speaker at an Israeli Apartheid Week panel said, according to audio provided to “The Jason Rantz Show” on KTTH. “I believe in an intersectional approach to struggle against Zionism, which I see as a form of white supremacy and Western imperialism. I’m a scientist and neuroscientist, and this is my approach. This is how I look at central colonialism, at aggression, at war, and at the struggle that we face.”

It’s hard to believe the speaker is a real person and not some bizarre performance art piece. Yet speeches like this are routine at anti-Israel rallies across the country. They give you a front-row seat to the self-loathing and unhinged radicalism required to cheerlead for Hamas as the Radical Left movement tries to wipe out Jews and erase Israel from the map.

A journey to self-loathing

The speaker claimed to be an Israeli American and Jewish. He even said he served in the Israeli Defense Forces for three years, prior to his “journey for decolonization.”

“My journey for decolonization has been a very long one and is ongoing,” he told the crowd of like-minded activists at a panel titled “Antisemitism vs. Antizionism.” “I tend to not focus on these identities, because these are exactly the identities that are weaponized by Zionism and are used in order to distract and divert attention from the ongoing expansionism, which is the focus the apartheid, the genocide, which is a process that has accelerated since October 7, but has been ongoing since before, actually, 1948.”

He explained that the concept of Israel as a Jewish state is an example of “white supremacy” and that “Zionism is a form of antisemitism,” which can only be solved by “dismantling” it. He even went so far as to claim that “Zionism definitely does exceptionalize antisemitism, definitely exceptionalizes the Holocaust.”

Plenty of antisemitic voices

There were other antisemites on the panel.

One unidentified panelist claimed that “the largest purveyors of Zionism are antisemitic.” She dismissed concerns from some about the safety of Jews on college campuses.

“And really, what they’re asking is are Zionists safe on Jewish campuses. There is no concern as to whether anti-Zionist Jews are feeling unsafe on college campuses, largely because of the work of Zionists,” she said.

Why this matters

It’s easy to write off this panel as a fleeting sideshow of fringe antisemites—delaying the inevitable march toward a future making oat milk lattes at Starbucks until their mid-40s, before eventually chucking a Molotov cocktail at a cop during an Antifa tantrum and ending up behind bars. But this is more than just campus theater.

The week-long event included a vigil for Hamas terrorists killed by Israeli forces. It featured a talk by antisemitic professor Dr. Nada Elia, who has called for “intifada,” defended terrorists, and published anti-Israel propaganda, according to Canary Mission.

Western Washington University isn’t just tolerating this hate; it’s actively amplifying it. The administration’s inaction doesn’t just create an environment where Jewish students and faculty are targeted for daring to believe Israel has a right to exist—it produces a new generation of antisemites, eager to take their hatred beyond campus and into the real world.
