'Anyone who has a naive belief in the power of higher education to instill morality has not studied the history of German universities in the Third Reich.'

The definitive essay by Niall Ferguson:

If you are restricting the movements of one of your fellow students on campus, let alone explicitly because of their appearance or attire, you are not one of the good guys.

The Associated Press covered up Hitler’s crimes against the Jews and the New York Times covered up Stalin’s crimes against the Ukrainians. This is nothing new.

I realize they don’t have tiki torches, but you can’t hide from what’s happening here. Many in the press are desperate to ignore these videos and images because it undermines the narrative that this type of hate only exists on the far-right and not among their ideological allies.

It is not critical thinking to say that America never landed on the moon or that George W Bush orchestrated the 9/11 attacks.

It is a rejection of critical thinking.

Anti-Israel protesters in the West openly admit that they were galvanized into action by the Hamas terrorist rampage on Oct. 7. This is important because public intellectuals lie about this history and say the protesters are just responding to Israel’s militant response in Gaza.

Academia breeds cowardice along with moral rot.

Imagine that you and your family borrowed the $360k it costs for four years at Columbia University plus interest at today’s rates.

Regardless of your religious or ethnic background, is this what you signed up for?

Private university mismanagement also begs the question as to why private

The resignation of Military Intelligence chief Aharon Haliva was long overdue. He failed ahead of Oct. 7 and gave a faulty intelligence assessment to the cabinet ahead of the Damascus strike.

He should have resigned on Oct. 8 but because of the lack of a culture of

Let me put this speech into context: 112 years ago, much of the brain trust in Rabbi Hirsch’s shul—many of whom had political war chests (e.g., Henry Morgenthau Sr.)—helped propel Woodrow Wilson to the presidency and changed the course of American Jewish politics.

It’s almost hilarious the extent to which the defenders of the antisemitic mobs at Columbia are completely reliant on pretending the numerous videos and the witness testimony from Jewish students simply don’t exist to preserve their narratives.

This piece, by a Columbia student who was assaulted yesterday, raises an urgent question:

Why has the university president, Minouche Shafik, failed to empower campus security or the NYPD to protect Jewish students?

It's a Boston sports weekend sweep!

FINAL: #RedSox 6, Pirates 1

Once again I am asking you to remember that 99% of American universities are completely dependent on government programs and taxpayer largesse and that curtailing their psycho behavior is a mere matter of political will

Vanderbilt, which has handled the anti-Israel protests well and has long been known to seek higher rankings in the US News rankings, should offer all Columbia U Jewish students a place if they want to transfer.

Would bring in a lot of academic talent.

.Mayor Eric Adams's statement on ongoing protests at Columbia University:

The crisis at Columbia University underscores the urgent need for moral clarity against antisemitism.

College administrators should start defending their Jewish constituents and students and stop pandering to the antisemites who seek their destruction.

Appeasing

The Association of German National Jews was a group of Jews who supported Hitler and the Nazis in the 1920's. Their main role at the time was to essentially play cover for the Nazi anti-Semitism by pointing out that they are welcomed in the movement because they prioritized

What you’re seeing at Columbia University didn’t just happen. It took years of deliberate choices by administrators, donors, and lawmakers. It’s not an aberration: it’s precisely the intended consequence. And it cannot be redeemed. Not anymore.

The Palestinian political faction Fatah charged on air that Hamas had deliberately killed aid workers, stolen aid and manufactured a food crisis in Gaza.
