Dr. Phillip C. McGraw, commonly known as Dr. Phil, slammed woke elite universities for not standing up to extremist student organizations that celebrated Hamas’ terrorist attacks on Israel two weeks ago.

McGraw published a video on X speaking out about the October 7 attacks, which was the bloodiest day for Israel over 75 years.

“The Hamas invaders were not soldiers. They were assassins,” he said. “The Hamas charter calls for the ultimate annihilation of all Israeli Jews, followed by the annihilation of Jews around the world. Sound familiar? Sadly, some people, including some right here in America actually celebrated the slaughter and blame those being murdered, raped and kidnapped.”

“Many of America’s most respected elite universities are not only indulging but actually endorsing sanctioned student organizations holding celebrations for the murders,” he continued. “Harvard, Yale, Georgetown, UCLA, and Stanford are high profile examples that should raise concern if not outrage.”

McGraw said that the reactions of the student groups revealed a “disturbing degree of ivy-covered intellectual rot” at America’s alleged top schools.

“Americans nationwide have been appalled and shocked,” he said. “The leadership of these supposedly highly sophisticated schools are so busy virtue signaling and coddling students who think that words are violence, but violence, horrific, inhumane violence is social justice, that they have forgotten it is their job to teach their students to think and to test reality. Instead of training tomorrow’s leaders, they are profoundly demagnetizing our culture’s moral compass among the college population.”

McGraw that while he was no expert in geopolitics, it only takes basic common sense to recognize Hamas’ attacks as “utterly sick, twisted, disgusting, and inexcusable.”

“You cannot negotiate with people whose only acceptable outcome is to murder you and your entire race,” he continued. “Seriously, have some of these people gotten together and collectively lost their minds? We know right from wrong, and we must stand up for what we believe and know is right. We must call out these institutions. How is any of this acceptable to anyone? How is it not recognized as incredibly racist? How do elite educators not recognize this is a huge teachable moment in the student’s journey?”

“The heads of the schools need to simply say on this campus, we don’t celebrate racism, anti-Semitism, baby killing, and murdering,” he concluded. “What they are doing instead is distancing themselves in hopes it blows over. Israel is our friend and ally. They don’t need us to just be their friend in good times. They need us to be their friend in bad times, to be their friend when it is easier not to be. Good friends are the ones coming in the door when everyone else is going out. This is a really great time to show Israel and the world who we are.”

No evidence found so far indicates that anti-Semitism motivated the fatal stabbing of a local synagogue leader, law enforcement said on Sunday.

Samantha Woll, the 40-year-old president of Isaac Agree Downtown Detroit Synagogue, was found dead outside her home on Saturday morning.

The gruesome incident took place amid increased concerns for the safety of Jewish people in the United States and abroad as Israel fights Hamas after the group launched terrorist attacks on Israel from the Gaza Strip on October 7 that killed an estimated 1,400-plus people.

“The investigation into the death of Ms. Woll remains ongoing. At this time, however, no evidence has surfaced suggesting that this crime was motivated by antisemitism,” Detroit Police Chief James White said in a statement posted to X.

Detroit police are working with the FBI “to forensically analyze all of the information obtained up to this point in an effort to ascertain the timeline that ultimately led to Ms. Woll’s death,” White said.

“Individuals with information that may further this investigation are being interviewed. I again ask the community to remain patient while our investigators and law enforcement partners continue their work,” White added. “Everything that can be done to bring this matter to closure is being called into service.”

White said a media update would be provided on Monday.

As reported by the Detroit Free Press, police said officers were called over at around 6:30 a.m. when a woman was found lying unresponsive on the ground outside of Woll’s home in the Lafayette Park neighborhood.

Officials said medical personnel later pronounced the woman dead at the scene.

“While at the scene, police officers observed a trail of blood leading officers to the victim’s residence, which is where the crime is believed to have occurred,” said Detroit police Cpl. Dan Donakowski, according to the Associated Press.

The Isaac Agree Downtown Detroit Synagogue confirmed Woll had died in a post to Facebook on Saturday.

“We are shocked and saddened to learn of the unexpected death of Samantha Woll, our Board President,” the post said.

Woll had done work for Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, who is also a Democrat, in the past. Both posted tributes to Woll, as did Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI).

A funeral service for Woll was held on Sunday.

Woll’s sister, Dr. Monica Woll Rosen, said her late sibling was the “kindest, most generous human I’ve ever met” and “so deeply wanted peace for this world,” according to USA Today.
