David E. Bernstein and David L. Bernstein JNS, July 8, 2025 “The way forward is not to abandon liberal values in pursuit of short-term victories.

Combat Antisemitism Movement, June 11, 2025 “If there’s one change I hope this research can help drive, it’s the return of real intellectual accountability on campus — where extremist ideologies aren’t ignored or silently tolerated, but directly confronted and debated.” Dr. Gunther Jikeli — a historian and sociologist specializing in contemporary antisemitism — holds the […]
Nathan McGrath WSJ, July 8, 2025 “In legal filings, the union claimed it had in fact condemned violence—violence supposedly perpetrated against pro-Palestinian union members by the university and police during attempts to disperse an encampment.” After Hamas’s brutal attacks on Oct. 7, 2023, labor unions at the University of California, Berkeley and the City University […]
Emily Wilder Jewish Currents, July 2, 2025 “Shema’s materials often caution against using certain language to describe Israel’s actions, including “genocide” and “settler colonialism,” because of how such terms might land for Jews.” In September 2024, Nass Taskin, a Jewish special education teacher at Northampton High School in western Massachusetts, attended an antisemitism training for school district […]

Dion J. Pierre Algemeiner, June 25, 2025 “Khan went on to recount MIT’s efforts to suppress expressions of solidarity with Israel after Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre across southern Israel, which included ordering Jewish students to remove Israeli flags from public display while allowing Palestinian flags to fly across campus.” An explosive lawsuit was filed […]
Will Sussman NY Post, July 1, 2025 “One staff member sent a mass email painting me as a racist. My mother worried I would be killed.” Before Oct. 7, 2023, I was the literal poster boy for a PhD student at MIT. I was featured in a July 2023 profile in MIT News, which […]
Christopher L. Schilling The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal, June 13, 2025 “In some cases, “antisemitism studies” veers into the unethical and, paradoxically, becomes an inversion of what the field stands for.” Following the shock caused by the antisemitic campus riots of spring 2024, Günther Jikeli spoke up. Jikeli, an associate professor from Germany […]
Harold Behr Times of Israel, July 4, 2025 “Could there possibly be an underlying antisemitic strain at work, woven into the text with arcane academic justifications?” Ideologues on the far left of the political spectrum hold as one of their tenets the belief that Israel is a white colonialist-fascist entity which was superimposed on […]

Gregory Lyakhov American Spectator, July 5, 2025 “The Democratic Party has abandoned its former commitment to Jewish safety, a Jewish national homeland, and democratic solidarity with the State of Israel.” The outcome of the 2025 New York City Democratic mayoral primary is a defining moment for Jewish Americans and the country.
