As a teacher of college age kids, this is a frustrating tweet.

It’s hard to imagine a more perfect and powerful teaching opportunity than this kind of moment, in all its liminality and intensity and confusion. If you look at this picture and think, “how are we supposed to learn…

We have polls showing a huge spike in Jewish college students’ interest in Jewish life on camps. IMHO, if you’re an American Jewish community or movement, your basic duty right now is to go to them and offer them that fellowship and support.

Peter, in all honesty, do you really believe that the mainstream of pro-Palestinian activism in the West doesn’t support hurting Israelis, doesn’t believe that killing civilians is a reasonable price to pay to achieve their goals?

This is a genuine question, because I really…

Sorry to pile on, but aren’t we watching here the catastrophic failure of a university to develop an intelligent and self-critical mind?

This isn’t freshman cosplaying. She’s a PhD student. She’s not the raw material on its way in. She’s the intellectual product coming out.

No one has a First Amendment right to erect illegal encampments, blockade entrances, vandalize property, break windows and doors, block students from accessing campus, hold people hostage, and harass and intimidate “Zionists” (i.e. most Jews).

These are not activities…

How much more of a revolutionary cosplayer do you have to be to forcefully occupy a building, create an artificial 'blockade' against yourself, and then demand 'humanitarian aid' to be allowed in after a mere 12 hours because you're concerned about starving and dehydrating 'to…

Is this tweet meant for Hamas? Because Hamas can end this in like three minutes.

If Hamas remains intact in Gaza, as you fervently hope, Congresswoman, we’ll be back in this war in five years’ time. Hamas will make sure of it.

But if Hamas is excised from Palestinian politics,…

A few words about the protests/encampments at Columbia:

Back in December 2018, when I was a junior, a white student named Julian Von Abele was filmed going on an ethno-centric rant about how much he loved white people. He said things like: “White people are the best thing that…

Yeshar koach Rabbi Menachem Creditor (he/him), for your devotion to your principles and your people - and also for the ability to make music even your opponents want to sing.

In the inverted campus moral universe, the young Iranian woman who fought for equal rights, who was then raped by her captors, isn’t what should unify every american student with every Iranian fighting for democratic ideals.

But Hamas is. bbc.com/news/world-mid…

How Yale University, and not its student protestors, first came up with the idea of ideological litmus tests to access shared university spaces.

American elite academia has been planting this ideological intolerance in its students’ minds for decades, and now feigns…

Wow, Mearsheimer has become a propagandist at this point on everything, not just on Israel. He doesn't even try to grapple with the hard questions. He just acknowledges Morgan's question and then says 'murder' a bunch of times on the theory that repetition of a moral accusation…
