Eugene Kontorovich, WSJ, May 1, 2024 “The ICC has already failed at its goal of promoting global justice. Its only chance of redeeming itself with some constituency is, as with all floundering regimes, to appeal to the oldest lowest common denominator—antisemitism.” The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court is reportedly considering arrest warrants against Israeli leaders […]

Jonathan Chait New York Magazine, Apr. 22, 2024 “ … the groups themselves are very clearly not advocating for “peace.” They are for war. Their objection is not to human suffering but that the wrong humans are suffering.” The anti-Israel demonstrations around Columbia University turned threatening and antisemitic Saturday night, as they have repeatedly across the country. […]
Miriam Abrams Sapir Journal, Oct. 2023 – Feb. 2024 “I know these people. I go to class with them. The same intersectional feminists who claim to oppose misogyny in all its forms are supporting the mass rape and brutalization of Jewish women. They’d never be caught dead victim-blaming — except when it comes to brutally violated Jewish […]
Rachel Fish Sapir Journal, Vol. Five Spring 2022 “As the university became ever more focused on identity issues as part of postmodern, post-colonial developments, Jewish faculty steered clear of conversations about Jewish identity or engagement.” Elite universities are sites of seduction. Grassy quads, the vaulted architecture of stone and brick, the library with its oak […]
Ari Allyn-Feuer Fathom Journal, May 2024 “The main leader of the encampment personally believes that ‘Zionists do not deserve to live,’ and has repeatedly engaged in public threats of violence against ‘Zionists,’ including at a university disciplinary hearing.” If Columbia in fact calls in law enforcement to its campus, and they in fact clear out the Palestine […]

Howard Levitt Gatestone Institute, Apr. 23, 2024 “Specifically, I’d like to hear from someone who wants a ceasefire/is finding it hard to be pro-Israel right now OR someone who supports the war despite the high cost of civilian life — and how their personal lived experiences inform those views.” Over the last several years, […]

Kat Rosenfield Unherd, Apr. 26, 2024 “You can see what animates them in this moment, and it isn’t the cause.” This week, amid widespread US campus protests against the war in Gaza, a video emerged of a confrontation on the Columbia quad. A slender young black man in a keffiyeh and a pair of florid pink […]
Joanna Williams Spiked, Apr. 25, 2024 “Students have been deluded into thinking that the more extreme their demands for the abolition of Israel, and the more vile their targeting of Jews, the better they show their own virtue. Horrendously, anti-Semitism comes to be seen as a morally virtuous position.” First it was Columbia, now […]
Gary Wexler Jewish Journal, Nov. 18, 2023 “American Jews are sending cans of food and socks to Israel while the Palestinians are conceptualizing bigger and better worldwide actions. We’re still fighting and demonizing one another. Many organizations have not yet woken up that it is no longer business as usual.” The brilliant Palestinian plan […]

Mark Steyn, Steyn on Britain, Apr. 23, 2024 ~Happy Passover, the holiday when American Jews attempt to pass over an Ivy League campus and British Jews attempt to pass over a Central London thoroughfare. Surveying the scene at Columbia, Powerline’s Scott Johnson posts a picture of Nazis preventing Jews from entering the University of Vienna in 1938. We […]

Michael Oren WSJ, Apr. 19, 2023 “I guess the university somehow thinks that supporting terrorism [is] a protected class,” he said. “That could be the only explanation for this investigation.” Police broke up a pro-Palestinian encampment at Columbia University Thursday, arresting more than 100 protesters for trespassing. The effort followed six months of violent anti-Israel […]
Daniel Greenfield, Columbus Jewish News, Apr. 24, 2024 Outside the mob of Hamas supporters were chanting “Genocide Joe,” while inside Joe Biden was trying to raise more money. Yet the terrorist supporters and the president shared a funding source. The Soros clan has been accused of providing an estimated $15 million to the pro-terrorist groups storming cities […]
