Amine Ayoub Jerusalem Post, Feb. 24, 2025 “If you want to know why antisemitism has exploded on US campuses, look no further than Qatar’s grip on education.” For months, I have followed the disturbing rise of antisemitism in US universities, especially after Hamas’s brutal attack on Israel on October 7. But nothing prepared me for the jaw-dropping moment […]

David Christopher Kaufman Commentary Magazine, March 2025 “Jews today are inadvertently upending the notion that whites are immune from racism. Jews may still be considered “white” by the federal government’s census counters. But when it comes to the dynamics behind race and racism, Jews are emerging as a new kind of oppressed minority.” Few progressive maxims […]
Deborah Lipstadt The Free Press, Mar. 2, 2025 Until last week, I had been seriously considering teaching at Columbia University next year as a visiting professor.

Novi Zhukovsky The New York Sun, Jan. 21, 2025 “The settlement puts an end to two lawsuits filed against the school over its mishandling of antisemitism after Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel and the ensuing war in Gaza.” ‘We now have a Harvard standard that other colleges will strive to meet,’ a leading authority […]
Ian Oxnevad National Association of Scholars, Jan. 20, 2025 “Depriving higher education’s anti-Semitism of financial oxygen is necessary, but the problem is not anti-Semitism alone.” America’s colleges and universities are going the way of Myspace and Blockbuster. A demographic cliff has led to shrinking demand, while a growing disgust for what higher education offers props […]
John M. Ellis The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal, Jan. 8, 2025 “Why are college students, of all people, so ignorant of simple historical facts that make nonsense of their slogans? Short answer: That’s the way their radical teachers want them.” The scale of support on college campuses for militant antisemitism and even […]
Isaac Grand Algemeiner, Jan. 21, 2025 “Subsequent investigations have painted an even more alarming picture, with reports suggesting that Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood have secretly channeled over $13 billion into American universities between 2001 and 2021.” Another morning, another flood of emails. Lately, my university inbox has become more than just a stream […]

Charles Lipson Sapir Journal, Autumn 2024 “How can Jews be hated and harassed in the name of social justice?” The open, virulent, and sometimes violent eruption of antisemitism at elite universities may be the most daunting social challenge faced by American Jews since the Ku Klux Klan’s antisemitic campaign in the 1960s. The Klan had […]
Sabrina Soffer Algemeiner, Dec. 19, 2024 “Students like myself have sought to educate rather than expose administrators for their ignorance and negligible indifference.” How does one become a “Good Jew?” What is the ideal response in the face of hatred? Should one choose silence and appeasement to avoid conflict, or express unapologetic pride and deter […]
