This week, Tablet published a series of letters written by Jewish students on campuses across the country. They describe what it has been like to not go along with the flood of “anti-Zionism” which has overwhelmed these universities for several months. For refusing to join in they have been threatened, bullied and socially stigmatized. This […]
As the Chancellor of UCLA was testifying before congress yesterday, pro-Palestinian students created a new encampment, scuffled with police and briefly took over two campus buildings. You may recall that the previous encampment at UCLA was cleared out by police three weeks ago. Yesterday they returned, or tried to, but they were eventually removed by […]
The House Committee on Education and the Workforce held its third hearing on campus anti-Semitism today. This time the college presidents called to testify were from UCLA, Rutgers and Northwestern university. Like the first round of testimony last year, this one generated some fireworks, especially when it came to President Schill of Northwestern. [Rep. Virginia] […]
Reading this story on the new campus litmus test really brought home for me the absolutely hypocrisy of leftist students on campus. They are simultaneously the biggest supporters of of DEI (emphasis on inclusion) and also the most extreme proponents of shunning people they consider beyond the pale, especially those who support the existence of […]
You may remember this incident which happened last November 5 in Thousand Oaks, California. There were dueling protests taking place across a street.

I spent the morning tweeting about this. Historian Rick Perlstein has written an instant history of the campus protests which puts the whole thing down to moral panic. It’s a well written piece in the sense that he manages to present the facts in such a way that his conclusions feel almost inescapable. At least […]
It became clear this was coming last week when the school’s president announced that the encampment could not continue. This morning the University of Chicago became the latest school to have a pro-Palestinian encampment cleared out by the police. Word apparently got out late last night that a 3 am clearing of the camp was […]
There has been a pro-Palestinian encampment on MIT’s campus for the past two weeks. This afternoon, MIT’s President Sally Kornbluth posted a statement announcing that the camp will have to come to a close. She gave protesters until 2:30 pm today to vacate the camp. Kornbluth cited several reasons including the safety of protesters, the […]
