FIGHTING BACK Podcast: Ruth Wisse on the Explosion of Anti-Israel Protests on Campus: Mosaic, May 3, 2024 — Anti-Israel campus activism has never been more popular or unpleasant than it is right now.

Victor Davis Hanson Las Vegas Review-Journal, June 16, 2024 “… what makes it now so insidious is its new tripartite constituency.” What are the mobs in Washington defiling iconic federal statues with impunity and pelting policemen really protesting? What are the students at Stanford University vandalizing the president’s office really demonstrating against? What […]
Shabbos Kestenbaum Tablet, June 5, 2024 “… although the reports found that a Jewish student was spat on, an Israeli student was asked to leave class as her nationality made classmates “uncomfortable,” another Israeli was assaulted at the business school, a staff member taunted me with a machete and challenged me to debate the […]
Dion J. Pierre Algemeiner, June 10, 2024 “The controversy at Columbia Law School continues a struggle by students, opposed by some authority figures on campus, to promote the anti-Zionist movement, despite its connections to terrorist organizations, white supremacist groups, and extremist far-left activists who have openly called for the destruction of Israel and the […]
Daniel Buck National Review, June 10, 2024 “While it’s tempting to wonder whether — even hope that — Columbia is an outlier, its school of education is not only influential; it’s emblematic.” The campus tantrum at Columbia University exposed for all to see the institution’s commitment to the fringe political philosophies of postcolonial theory […]

Charlie Covit WSJ, May 16, 2024 “Support for Mr. Tettey-Tamaklo belies the protesters’ denials of antisemitism.” Harvard’s anti-Israel protesters created a martyr this past school year. “Reinstate Elom to his proctor position,” read a list of demands first published in November and posted across campus for the rest of the year. “Over 4,000 people have […]

Douglas Belkin WSJ, May 16, 2024 “The report paints a picture of an overwhelmed and indecisive administration, which failed to apply university rules to protesters engaged in antisemitic behavior.” Harvard University was slow to react to a wave of hostility against Jewish students last fall and ignored recommendations from an advisory group it created to address rising […]
Jessica McCann, The Harvard Gazette, May 28, 2024 “… we now live in a world of extreme political polarization. And that means both that people tend to react to University statements (again, intact or distorted) in a polarized way, and also put pressure on the University to speak or not speak in polarized ways.” In […]
Gil Hoffman Jerusalem Post, June 2, 2024 “Steven Thrasher, whose title at Medill is “chair of social justice in reporting,” shockingly told students at the encampment that “our work is not about objectivity.” When I graduated from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism a quarter century ago, the dean and professors made me feel proud to be […]

Jay Solomon Semafor, May 9, 2024 “Many of Mousavian’s dictums on the nuclear file would be adopted by the Iranian government after his close political ally, Hassan Rouhani, succeeded Ahmadinejad as president in 2013 and moved to negotiate directly with the Obama administration over the next two years.” As US-Iran relations thawed during the Obama administration, […]

Robert Williams Gatestone Institute, Dec. 7, 2023 “Hmm. It sounds as if NSJP has exactly the same goals as Hamas: the eradication of Israel and all its Jewish inhabitants. A coincidence? Not quite.” Many pro-Hamas demonstrations that have been taking place on US campuses since Hamas launched its war on Israel on October 7, when […]

Steven Stalinsky WSJ, Apr. 22, 2024 “Mr. Nasrallah had already cited the effect of protests “in Washington, New York, London, Paris and Western Europe” in a Nov. 11 speech, lauding their power to “apply pressure on their governments.” Protests against Israel expanded on college campuses last week, sometimes turning violent. At Columbia University, demonstrators chanted support […]
