Asaf Romirowsky The Hill, Aug. 30, 2024 “Plainly put, Columbia did nothing to stop the riots in the first place. And once the rioters had been arrested and charged, it was quick to let them off with a just slap on the wrist.” It’s late August. For those of us in higher education, this means […]

SHABBAT READING Psalms for Our Times: Rashi Counters Christological Readings: Prof. Rabbi Mordechai Z. Cohen, The Torah.com, Aug. 2, 2024 — It is becoming increasingly accepted that Rashi reacted polemically to Christian beliefs and Bible interpretation, and that, throughout his commentaries, he was implicitly refuting the Christian claim that God had rejected Israel. He thus made the […]

Michael Gross WSJ, July 11, 2024 “Passive and morally confused leaders have tacitly encouraged the threats of violence against Jewish students. By failing to oppose antisemitism from the outset, they’ve fostered the creation of a de facto no-go zone for Jews.” Will the antisemitism at Columbia University ever end? That was the question after […]

The European Conservative, May 24, 2024 “Today, high-level sources in Iran tell me that the intelligence services of the Islamic Republic of Iran are partly manipulating these student demonstrations, once again relying on the same types of far-left networks, as well as organizations linked directly or indirectly to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas in France.” […]

CAMPUS EVOLUTION Podcast: Ruth Wisse on the Explosion of Anti-Israel Protests on Campus: Mosaic, May 3, 2024 My Message to Columbia’s Sane Students: Douglas Murray, The Spectator, May 25, 2024 — There are several frustrating things about American college campuses, just one of which is the sheer volume of column inches they take up.

Peter Berkowitz Real Clear Politics, May 26, 2024 “By damaging Israel, which they regard as an outpost of Western imperialism in the Middle East, they strive to weaken and fundamentally transform the United States.” Following Hamas’ bloodthirsty Oct. 7 assault on Israel’s southern border communities, woke leftists and jihad enthusiasts on campuses and beyond […]
Giulio Meotti Israel National News, May 24, 2024 “They opened the gates of hell and justified everything.” “Strange Bedfellows” is not just a 1964 film starring Rock Hudson and Gina Lollobrigida. In politics and war they are called “bedfellows”, but the radical left’s love affair with Islamic fanatics is the strangest couple that ever […]

Daniel Greenfield, Columbus Jewish News, Apr. 24, 2024 Outside the mob of Hamas supporters were chanting “Genocide Joe,” while inside Joe Biden was trying to raise more money.

Will Marshall, The Hill, Mar. 22, 2024 “Ocasio-Cortez was right. Accusing the victims of history’s worst genocide of trying to exterminate Palestinians is a new form of antisemitism likely to boomerang on the activist left.” The torrent of antisemitism let loose by student protests against the war in Gaza is a national embarrassment, but it […]

Rich Tenorio Haaretz, Mar. 16, 2024 “I think the outgrowth of antisemitism on college campuses is certainly different than it was during the affair. But certain tropes are very similar: This fantasy of Jewish power … Jews controlling the media. These are still tropes we see again. The other parallel that’s really striking is the […]

Nial Ferguson The Free Press, Dec. 11, 2023 “But the reason Claudine Gay’s carefully phrased answers on Tuesday infuriated her critics is not that they were technically incorrect, but that they were so clearly at odds with her record—specifically her record as dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences in the years 2018–2022, when […]

Andrew Marantz The New Yorker, Nov. 2, 2023 “J Street, a center-left lobbying group that describes itself as “pro-Israel, pro-peace,” was joining with groups to its right, like AIPAC to push representatives to co-sponsor the resolution.” Early this past month, Adam Ramer started a new job. He was just four years out of college, and this […]
