Israel is Hated Precisely Because It is Strong: Raymond J. de Souza, National Post, Dec. 16, 2023 — The alarming antisemitic outbursts after the Hamas attacks on Israel in October — when, contrariwise, one might have expected expressions of solidarity with Israel and the Jewish people — deserve further exploration. ________________________________________________________ The Year Israelophobia Took Over: […]

Rex Murphy National Post, Dec. 9, 2023 “The current rampage of obviously orchestrated and scary (ask any Jewish Canadian) manifestations has so far received not a fraction of the invective Justin Trudeau loosed upon the truckers.” It is very hard, indeed it may be impossible, to disagree with the flood of online remarks asserting […]

Peter Wood and David Randall National Association of Scholars, Dec. 11, 2023 “… since the Hamas attack on southern Israel on October 7, President Gay has exhibited a moral obtuseness that marries intolerance for all dissent from the diversity, equity, and inclusion regime, to insensitivity to Jews faced with anti-Jewish harassment.” The National Association of […]
Dan Sullivan WSJ, Dec. 15, 2023 “Would you feel welcome in Harvard’s most famous library? Would you feel rattled, intimidated and harassed by the anti-Israel banner screaming “Stop the Genocide in Gaza”?” I was in Boston last weekend for the Army-Navy game. The day after the game, five days after Harvard President Claudine Gay’s disastrous […]

Eli Steele Newsweek, Dec. 11, 2023 “By checking the “black” box, I was being asked to mask the actual problems and inequities that undermine the efforts of lower-class blacks—all so university administrations could claim the pretense of racial redemption through higher enrollment numbers.” I have known people like Claudine Gay my entire life and they […]
Michael Goodwin NY Post, Dec. 12, 2023 “Beyond Harvard, Gay’s reprieve likely will be turned into a misleading model by other schools facing calls for new leadership. They now have a template for conceding mistakes and denouncing antisemitism, then moving on as if they’ve solved the problem.” So now it’s one president down, no more […]

Daniel Haas Human Rights Watch, Nov. 25, 2023 “… it was the domination of HRW’s Israel-Palestine work by some voices that drown out others to the point where those who feel uncomfortable with HRW’s approach and processes – and they do exist – feel silenced.” Farewell email from Human Rights Watch’s Danielle Haas to […]
Tzipi Hotovely Yahoo News, Dec. 10, 2023 ‘… making any such call while Hamas still has its arsenal as well as 137 Israeli hostages, is like saying to Israelis that you do not mind if October 7 happens again, particularly given that the leadership of Hamas has publicly said that it would carry out October […]

Charles Lipson Real Clear Politics, Dec. 11, 2023 “They are the ones who demean all Israelis as “settler colonialists” who have no right to live there. They are the ones who call the generous donors of buildings, professorships, and student scholarships “exploitative capitalists,” hardly better than slave owners. And so on.” Chicken Little was […]
Adam Andrzejewski Tablet, Dec. 10, 2023 “It seems these schools are more federal contractors than educators—with federal payments exceeding undergraduate student tuition.” In their congressional testimony last week, the presidents of Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Pennsylvania refused to denounce terrorism or explain whether calls for the genocide of Jews represent […]

ENOUGH BLAME TO GO AROUND Why University Presidents are Under Fire: Fareed Zakaria, CNN, Dec. 10, 2023 — When one thinks of America’s greatest strengths, the kind of assets the world looks at with admiration and envy, America’s elite universities would have long been at the top of that list. But the American public has been losing faith in these universities – and […]

Emily Jashinsky The Federalist, Dec. 7, 2023 “… if Ackman and Larry Summers and the many left-of-center voices who’ve rightfully expressed grave concerns since Oct. 7 are serious about solving the problem, they may need to take stock of their own values.” Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman weighed in on the question of campus antisemitism […]
