“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Anti-Jewish ugliness at elite Ivy League campuses demands federal response

 

[...] Dartmouth College is the only Ivy League school that is not facing a federal investigation over antisemitism.  In the last month, Princeton and Yale have deeply exacerbated the problem by forcing their students to face anti-Israel referenda on student ballots and allowing a climate of toxicity toward Jews and Israelis to brew.  It's time for Congress to investigate these schools for their handling of antisemitism and for the Department of Education to reconsider their eligibility for federal funding until they take real action to correct the issue.  [...]

With DEI programs being abolished across the country, the outlook for people trained to root out neo-colonial white power structures has never been worse.


"Really, really poor timing here," sighed Weber as she filled out another Wendy's application.  [...]

Joe Biden Failed Jewish Students, Donald Trump Is Stepping Up

 

[...] The new executive order outlines specific directives for federal agencies to report on and propose additional measures to combat campus anti-Semitism.  Within 60 days, department heads are required to submit comprehensive reports on existing civil and criminal authorities that can be leveraged to fight back against these rising tides of hate.

 

The order doesn't pull any punches; it declares, "It shall be the policy of the United States to combat anti-Semitism vigorously, using all available and appropriate legal tools."  This robust approach signifies that the federal government will not shy away from prosecuting those who engage in anti-Semitic harassment and violence.  Sadly, we got such a lackluster response to the growing normalization of hate during the Biden years, but this order signals a shift—a commitment to accountability.


Further measures include [...]
