On Campus

Being on college campuses today seems pretty awful. Please don't call what's happening pro-Palestinian. Students and professors at these rallies and sit-ins aren't calling for peace or the release of hostages, but rather the murder of all Israelis and American Jews.

Elite colleges failed to fight antisemitism. But these academics did.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/11/05/fighting-antisemitism-campuses/

 Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family or at least a relaxing day off. These updates will be taking a two-week break. See you again on or about December 17th.   

  *Whenever you see misinformation in your local paper or in the news, address it. Write letters to the editor, tweet or call. This week, I wrote to NYT and Vice asking for corrections.

     *On Sunday morning, an Arab resident of Jerusalem, who worked in a school funded by the Jerusalem municipality, decided to act upon incitement by the Palestinian Authority and his homicidal Hamas ideology to attack Israelis with an automatic weapon. The attacker murdered civilian Eliyahu Kay and injured four others. Israeli police officers shot the active terrorist shooter before he could murder any more innocent people. In the world of the PA, a Palestinian was “shot by the occupation”  

     *The initial Associated Press headline first referred to the Palestinian terrorist: "Israeli police shoot dead Palestinian who killed 1 Israeli and injured 4 others." Meanwhile, the NYT  made a point not to label perps and victims. In their reporting on Sunday's terror attack, they also called Jerusalem "the holiest site" and provided a link describing how it's holy to several religions - omitting that it is the holiest site for Jews alone. Further, they labeled Hamas a "militant Islamist group;" the US, UK and Europe label Hamas Islamist terrorists.  And lately Vice News has has been nothing but Palestinian propaganda.
