…Over the past two decades, I saw this inverting worldview swallow all of the crucial sense-making institutions of American life. It started with the universities. Then it moved on to cultural institutions—including some I knew well, like The New York Times—as well as every major museum, philanthropy, and media company. Then on to our medical schools and our law schools. It’s taken root at nearly every major corporation. It’s inside our high schools and even our elementary schools. The takeover is so comprehensive that it’s now almost hard to notice it—because it is everywhere. READ MORE

CAMERA Taking a stand: A compilation of letters to American Universities on anti-Israel bias After the Jewish people suffered their darkest day since the Holocaust, insult was added to injury on many American campuses. Rather than straightforward condemnations of the horrifying attacks committed by Palestinian terrorists, many universities, faculty members, and students either openly glorified and justified the atrocities or made obscene equivalences between the Jewish state and the genocidal terrorist organization, Hamas. Fortunately, many fought back. Provided below is a list of letters and statements issued by university leaders, faculty members, students, business leaders, and politicians.

DAVID TELISMAN Jewish College Students Need Our Help, And They Need It Now What professors like Russell Rickford at Cornell, who called the massacre of 1,400 Jewish civilians, “Exhilarating” and who offer extra credit to students who march in antisemitic rallies omit from their Middle Eastern Studies curricula is that Hamas has an investment portfolio of real estate and assets worth $1 billion, while sustaining an unemployment and poverty rate of 47% and 80% respectively.

…On November 4, Hamas took advantage of a humanitarian window of opportunity that Israel gave to the residents of the Gaza Strip and carried out attacks with mortar fire and anti-tank missiles against Israelis. “While the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] were opening a humanitarian axis for the movement of Gaza residents to the south [of the Gaza Strip], terrorists from the terrorist organization Hamas attacked the forces involved in opening it,” the IDF said…Hamas has also prevented civilians from fleeing to safe zones in the southern Gaza Strip. Hamas snipers have reportedly killed dozens of children and women attempting to travel there. This is all after Israel’s repeated warnings to Gazans to go to the south of the Gaza Strip through safe corridors. READ MORET

Denmark, which aims to only accept refugees under the UN’s quota system, has drawn strong criticism from the United Nations and human rights groups alike as its immigration policies have toughened over the past decade. However, the Danish model has become more popular as anti-immigration voices have gained traction across the Nordic region. READ MORE

MELANIE PHILLIPS BLOG Goodbye to all that As Remembrance Weekend approaches, Britain mourns the passing of more than its military heroes. What has upset people so much is not just the murderous message of these demonstrations.
