Cary Nelson Fathom Journal, March 2024 “… for Butler, there is but one overriding context for Hamas’s violence: Israel’s long presumed history of unrelenting violence against Palestinians. And citing it is no neutral historical exercise; it is a moral imperative.” When Judith Butler expressed something approximating grudging horror–if one may characterise her ambivalence that way–at […]
Walter Russell Mead Tablet, Mar. 26, 2024 “A hatred of wonk privilege pervades both the right and the left in American politics today.” Impostor syndrome isn’t always a voice of unwarranted self-doubt that you should stifle. Sometimes, it is the voice of God telling you to stand down. If, for example, you are an academic […]
Dion J. Pierre Algemeiner, Mar. 27, 2024 “Anti-Zionist faculty are out of control at the University of California. They are using their academic positions, departmental infrastructure, and university resources to spread hatred of the Jewish state and its on-campus supporters, and in so doing, are fomenting the harassment and even assault of Jewish students — […]
Donna Robinson Divine Sapir Journal, Mar. 18, 2024 “Academic scholars of the Middle East could indeed have helped people understand the historical background, the appeal, and the possible implications of such savagery, but the experts who were up to the task of taking on a valid and credible analysis were nowhere to be found, at […]

Editorial Board WSJ, Feb. 29, 2024 “When the hate directed at Jewish students on campus is so extreme that the university can’t protect them, the failure rests with school officials as much as with the harassers.” Antisemitism took a frightening turn Monday at the University of California, Berkeley, where a pro-Palestinian mob surrounded a campus […]
Sergiu Klainerman Tablet, Feb. 26, 2024 “The degree of woke infection of a particular academic discipline appears to be inversely proportional to the level of its mathematical sophistication.” In the wake of Harvard, Penn, and MIT’s congressional testimony debacle, followed by the plagiarizing travails of Harvard’s President Claudine Gay and her reluctant and ungracious resignation, it […]
Andrew Lappin JTA, Jan. 31, 2024 “Anyone who believes that this is a way to have a violent approach to the freedom of Palestinians, that’s not what we’re calling for, not chanting for. But everyone has the right to interpret things on their own.” A suburban Minneapolis school district is facing a federal investigation for Islamophobic […]
Michael Oren Clarity with Michael Oren, Mar. 5, 2024 “How would the long-held Soviet dream of instilling doubt, divisiveness, and self-loathing in American society be posthumously realized?” “I think it’s fair to say that I am not a Zionist.” So proclaimed the renowned professor of Modern Arab History before a class of Princeton University undergraduates.

Rebecca Massel Rolling Stone, Nov. 22, 2023 “So you must know a lot about settler colonialism. How do you feel about that?” THE TOPIC WAS justice and righteousness. I was sitting in my Contemporary Civilization class at Columbia University last month debating free will, when I received an email with the subject line “You are disgusting.” “I hope […]
