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.  [...]

Aw, Man:  Columbia Student Just Graduated With DEI Degree

 

NEW YORK CITY — Prospects have dimmed considerably for local woman Violet Weber, who just graduated in December from Columbia with a degree in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Studies.

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 [...]

Columbia Activists Cement Toilets for Gaza

 

The anti-Israel activists at Columbia have really stepped up their vandalism game.  Usually they are content to spray paint a few buildings or overturn some furniture.  This week they have escalated to pouring cement into all the toilets in a building which could result in thousands of dollars in damage that takes significant time to repair.  They posted video of themselves on Instagram along with a lengthy description of their actions.  [...]

Chinese UCLA student Liu Lijun has student visa revoked after organizing pro-Palestine rallies
 

Liu Lijun, a Chinese graduate student at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), has reportedly had her student visa revoked after organizing pro-Palestine rallies on campus.

Liu was arrested in May 2024 during protests related to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, which began on October 7, 2023.

According to the Telegraph India, the revocation of Liu’s visa follows an executive order signed by U.S. President Donald Trump, which aims to address antisemitism in response to the conflict. The order focuses on what the Trump administration has described as a rise in antisemitism across U.S. campuses and communities. One key provision of the order threatens to cancel visas for international students involved in pro-Palestinian activism, particularly those with ties to Hamas.

Win Against Antisemites:  Judge Rules on Dismissal of Case of Jewish Students Locked in NY College Library

 

Antisemitism may be one of the most, if not the civilized world's most ancient hatreds, and it resurfaces with baffling regularity.  Most recently, hatred of the Jewish people is rearing its ugly head on American college campuses, where young skulls full of mush whose grandfathers may well have helped liberate German death camps are wearing kaffiyehs and screaming Hamas slogans.

At one school, the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in Manhattan, is being sued by Jewish students who were locked by security personnel into a school library to protect them from their fellow students, who had been whipped into an antisemitic rage, in October 2023.  [...]

Some groups "qualify" as oppressed minorities, and others do not.
