The universities are the manufacturing center of the American ruling class, and thus all Americans have a stake and a say in how they conduct themselves.

The attacks on the Jewish governor of Pennsylvania are part of a much larger strategy to break the American Jewish community.

When someone criticizes Israel, we need only ask: “Are they OK with killing Jews?”

Share (JNS) — On paper, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro looks like a more or less perfect Democratic vice-presidential candidate: He is a generally well-liked moderate from a swing state and, following the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, displayed remarkable gravitas and compassion on a national stage.

Boycotting systemically antisemitic universities is a good thing, but how do American Jews avoid being ghettoized?

According to the New York Post, American Jews are beginning to respond to systemic antisemitism in higher education by “voting with their feet.”

With the party riven by antisemitism, vague reassurances about supporting Israel's “right to defend itself” are not enough.

Whenever a politician says, “Let me be clear,” you know that sheer doggerel will follow. Barack Obama, for example, regularly used the phrase to preface his pseudo-inspirational gobbledygook.
