The American state is the most important force, by far, behind the extermination/expelling of the Palestinians, including those in the Gaza Strip. Without vast American capital and equipment Israel would not be able to achieve their aims of ethnic cleansing.

The American “educational” system is completely tied in to the American state. UCSD as well as almost all other universities receive considerable grants and other state-directed funds, and even those that do not are funded second-hand (by individuals who in turn are funded by state-aligned groups).

The American educational system is more a cult than a reality (education is a secondary motivation of the system). Employers don’t care whether or not prospective employees are educated – they care whether or not they have a college degree. It’s much more effective in terms of truly getting an education to go outside the “educational system”. But that’s not the point of the “educational system” – the point is to join the cult and make money. Which apparently is what you mean by “opportunity”.

Palestinians should be one of the last people on earth to support the American educational system. If I were a Palestinian I would consider any Palestinian who went to an American university a traitor.

If you want to further your education, study and do research in your areas of interest. You don’t need the monstrous American state or it’s appendages to do that.
