Lorin Bell-Cross The Jewish Chronicle, Feb. 11, 2025 “What stands out to him most was Starmer’s decision to make a personal apology to the Jewish community almost immediately when first elected in April 2020, while the country was enduring the height of the Covid pandemic,” The chair of the Jewish Labour Movement (JLM) is a regular visitor […]

Eric Kaufmann Unherd, Feb. 10, 2025 “Ultimately, one starts to wonder what sort of intervention will tame higher education’s rampant progressivism.” Just as DEI is being scaled back in American higher education, the UK is doubling down on it, much to the peril of academic freedom. After a lengthy consultation period, conveniently timed to report after the […]
Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Jan. 27, 2025 “Just two weeks after the pogrom, the Guardian published a piece denouncing Israel for ‘weaponising the Holocaust’ in its response to Hamas’s assault.” To mark Holocaust Memorial Day, we are publishing this chapter from Brendan O’Neill’s book, After the Pogrom: 7 October, Israel and the Crisis of Civilisation. One of […]
Jane Prinsley The Jewish Chronicle, Feb. 5, 2025 “Most people won’t be antisemitic to my face, but post anti-Israel or pro-Palestine posts on their [social media] story. Often I am the only Jew they have ever met. It’s hard because I can’t tell if they actually believe in what they post or if […]

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.
