(Newswire.net — October 10, 2014) — The video shows a group of students at Harvard campus interviewed by Campus Reform – a project of the Leadership Institute – on Saturday.
“As a Western civilization, we’re to blame for a lot of the problems that we’re facing now,” one student said during an interview. “I don’t think anyone would argue that we didn’t create the problem of ISIS, ourselves.”
Most of the other students agreed that ISIS is the product of a series actions the US performed in the past and it would not exist if US didn’t protect national interests on Middle East.
“American imperialism and our protection of oil interests in the Middle East are destabilizing the region and allowing groups like ISIS to gain power,” said another student.
Students in a video that went viral were interviewed by Caleb Bonham, editor of Campus Reform, who said that the students’ response is nothing new.
“This video demonstrates the absurdity behind the bash America fad,” Bonham told FoxNews.com. “Unfortunately, too many students think it is intellectual to try and piece together a reason why America is a greater threat than this terrorist organization trying to establish a caliphate through public executions, bombings and beheadings.” said Bonham.
The same argument was spoken in UN headquarters before mainstream media outlets could censor the speech made by the Argentine president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner at 69th General Assembly on September 24.
In unprecedented event, her speech was banned from live broadcast as she harshly criticized the US international policies.
She stated that ISIL terrorists were created by the CIA in Jordan in 2012 in order to destabilize the Syrian government.
The group went rogue, sent its members into neighboring Iraq in June and seized large parts of land there.
Uncensored video of the speech of Argentine president Fernández de Kirchner can be viewed on YouTube.
Campus Reform is popular site for college news, gathering student journalists who hold to objectivity, and public accountability, as said on their website.
