Shai Davidai: Why I’m Leaving Columbia
My colleagues’ silence shows more than a lack of moral integrity. It reveals how costly it is to challenge dominant ideologies on American campuses. Question them, and you’ll quickly be isolated, even by close peers. Tasked with teaching truth, courage, and principled leadership, my colleagues failed to live by those very ideals. One senior colleague, a former vice dean of DEI at Columbia Business School, admitted they might have defended me—but the optics of a white-passing Jewish professor confronting a woman of color president “weren’t right.” By choosing comfort over conviction, my colleagues’ silence shows how wide the gap is between preaching values and living them. That’s the bitter truth about higher education today: Those who can’t, teach.

My colleagues stayed silent even as Columbia retaliated against me. In December 2023, the university launched an investigation after a video of me condemning support for Hamas went viral, accusing me of harassment based on “national origin and/or shared ancestry.” That charge was not only false but absurd. I never spoke against Palestinians, Arabs, or any ethnic, religious, or national group. I repeatedly and clearly distinguished between the Palestinian people and the terrorists ruling them, focusing only on student groups that glorify terror. By caving to a coordinated smear campaign from Students for Justice in Palestine, Columbia didn’t just stand by—it seized the chance to intimidate me into silence. The baseless investigation dragged on for 20 months before closing with no findings of wrongdoing—HR-speak for “innocent.” Meanwhile, my name and reputation were dragged through the mud for all to see. This is what ideological persecution looks like in academia.

The investigation was only the beginning. In April 2024, when I tried to enter the illegal campus encampment—plastered with signs like “With a rifle we will free Palestine,” tributes to terrorists, and a ban on Jewish students who support Israel’s right to exist—Columbia deactivated my ID, barring me from campus while letting the encampment stand. Months later, on the Oct. 7 anniversary, I confronted Columbia’s COO for letting the same group terrorize Jewish students with an unauthorized march celebrating Hamas and its allies. In response, Columbia suspended me again—this time from every building, including my office and the only Jewish space on campus. Terrified of its most outspoken Jew, Columbia made silencing me its priority.

Don’t let the current calm on campus fool you. Even under congressional investigations, lawsuits, and threat of losing accreditation, Columbia’s leaders cling to the fantasy that these problems will fix themselves. By appeasing radical students and faculty who support terrorism, they believe they can wait out the storm. That is their gravest mistake. Beneath the fragile calm lies an extremist ideology that’s waiting to erupt again. I call it “American Intellectual Antisemitism”—the belief that Jews are white settler-colonialists conspiring to ethnically cleanse Palestinians to create a Jewish supremacist ethnostate. Such hatred never disappears on its own. It adapts, evolves, and returns stronger. Look at Mahmoud Khalil, whose first public act after three months in prison—and missing his son’s birth—was to lead another protest. That someone like him is now embraced by Zohran Mamdani, the anti-Israel frontrunner in the NYC mayoral race, signals what’s ahead. The tune may change, but the lyrics stay the same.

Columbia’s failed leadership, morally bankrupt faculty, and indifferent majority have shattered my respect for an institution I once called home. I no longer trust its leaders to do what’s right, or my colleagues to show them the way. With that respect lost, I have no choice but to leave. Staying would betray everything I stand for.

I am leaving Columbia, but not this fight. Freed from the shackles of a tenure-track job, I plan to intensify my efforts against American Intellectual Antisemitism and support for terrorism on campuses. Through live talks, a podcast on Jewish activism, and a book on the roots of this ideology, I hope to mobilize people to demand change. At its best, Columbia is a beacon of truth and discovery. At its worst, it’s a battleground for extremists who can’t stand dissent and intellectual diversity. Together, we can fight to restore its true purpose.

In the end, Columbia made my life so unbearable I chose to leave. But there’s one thing they’ll never do—silence me. My voice is not for sale.
Adass Israel Synagogue firebombing charge laid against 20yo man
A man has been charged for his alleged role in the firebombing of a synagogue in Melbourne’s east.

The 20-year-old was arrested on Wednesday in Williamstown and charged with stealing a blue VW Golf that was used in the attack on the Adass Israel Synagogue.

The operation was undertaken by the Victorian Joint Counter Terrorism Team (JCTT), which includes officers from Victoria Police, the Australian Federal Police, and ASIO.

The taskforce previously said the attack was likely politically motivated.

That is still the position of the JCTT and the investigation is still into alleged terrorism.

The man was not charged for the actual arson attack, and no one has been charged for that offence yet.

The investigation is ongoing into the Adass Israel Synagogue fire, which police said was a significant priority for them with “significant resources across all agencies” being used.

Following the arrest of the 20-year-old man, police seized items at a Melton South home that will be further investigated.

The man was granted strict conditional bail to appear at Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday, October 3, 2025.

Police allege the man stole the car in Melton on November 29, 2024, after which it was used in a series of arson attacks, including at the Lux Nightclub in South Yarra and an arson and shooting attack in Bundoora.

Police previously alleged that it was a “communal crime car”.

Victoria Police do not consider the Lux and Bundoora fires to be politically motivated.
Palestinian ‘refugees’ can’t be removed from UN lists, UNRWA admits
Mo Ghaoui, a Palestinian-American digital creator who immigrated to the United States six years ago and is based in Kent, Wash., entered a nondescript, U.N. Relief and Works Agency office building on a recent visit to Beirut, where he used to live.

He saw about 10 employees and a few working computers in the office, and decided to put the U.N. agency to the test, he told JNS. He wanted to know if he could give up his refugee status; however, concerned about pushback, he decided to pose the question about delisting a cousin rather than himself.

He asked the UNRWA staffer if his “cousin” could delist from the agency’s refugee database. “Why?” the staffer asked him, he told JNS. “There’s nothing to lose. No one does it. No one. We don’t have this procedure.”

Ghaoui told JNS that he didn’t take “why” for an answer.

“He wants to do it because he thinks this is better,” he told the UNRWA staffer. “The guy is British.”

The UNRWA staffer told Ghaoui that his cousin could be both British and listed officially as a refugee, Ghaoui told JNS. When Ghaoui said that his “cousin” isn’t a refugee any longer, the UNRWA staffer told him that the cousin could have his name struck from the Palestinian Authority registry but would remain on the UNRWA list.

Ghaoui told JNS that he challenged the staffer’s logic and asked why UNRWA should keep someone on its registry if the person is no longer on the Palestinian Authority refugee list.

Jonathan Fowler, senior communications manager at UNRWA, told JNS that “registered Palestine refugees can only be removed from UNRWA’s register upon their death or in case of false/duplicate registration.”

“Not upon request,” he told JNS.

The U.N. General Assembly requires UNRWA “to provide assistance and protection to Palestine refugees until a just solution to their plight is reached,” Fowler told JNS. He added that the agency “maintains registration records and issues identification documents for Palestine refugees crucial for their access to services and the legal recognition to which they are entitled.”

Fowler admitted to JNS that other U.N. agencies, including the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, which handles all non-Palestinian refugees globally, also don’t allow refugees to relinquish their status upon request and be deleted from the official U.N. list. (JNS sought comment from the High Commissioner for Refugees.)

Non-Palestinian refugees, who are covered under the High Commissioner for Refugees, aren’t considered to be refugees after they acquire another nationality. UNRWA still considers someone a “refugee” even if the person has multiple passports.


David Hirsh: In the UK, antisemitism is now mainstream. Is it reversible?
A few days after the action plan, and a matter of hours before Parliament proscribed Palestine Action, the Goldsmiths branch of the University and College Union (UCU) invited them to speak at its AGM. Palestine Action specialises in bathing office buildings that house Jewish businesses in red, blood-libel paint, to make a point about Israel’s “child-murdering”. They are now proscribed because their core business is criminal damage in a political cause.

Whenever my union asked me to strike, I did, even if Jeremy Corbyn or Lowkey was giving a speech on the picket line. Even when my union offered “100 per cent solidarity” to the Student Union president who was criticised for denouncing me as a “far right white supremacist”, I was there for the union, trying to explain to my students why we were not going to mark their exams.

Palestine Action was the last straw for me. The UCU has been increasingly riddled with antisemitism since, in 2003, it treated the campaign to exclude Israeli colleagues from our campuses, journals and conferences, as legitimate; and since it began to protect the antisemitism that came with that campaign as “just criticism of Israel”. This week I resigned from the union, of which I had been a founder member.

Jews get excluded from spaces where it becomes socially acceptable to relate to Zionists as one would relate to Nazis. Actual Jews, with their diverse and complicated relationships to Israel, know that in this context, the word “Zionist” targets them. And, knowing in advance the contempt that would be heaped upon us, we keep to ourselves the thought that it is obviously Hamas that inherits genocidal antisemitism from the Nazis.

Since October 7, many more Jews have experienced the exclusion that some of us had already been confronted by in the universities. This week, John Mann and Penny Mordaunt are the latest people to raise the alarm about antisemitism. They focus on hair-raising stories of antisemitism in the NHS, inconsistency in the policing and prosecution of antisemitic incitement, the blacklisting of Jewish musicians and artists and the failures of professional regulatory bodies to keep Jewish members of the professions safe.

They too propose an action plan, which is fair, because they are politicians and politics is the art of the possible. They too want more antisemitism training, and they want antisemitism incorporated into “Equality, Diversity and Inclusion” programmes, even though the antisemitism comes, in the first place, from the political framework itself that informs EDI. They want university administrators, professional bodies, senior police officers and NHS managers to do better; as they should.

The Israeli historian Shulamit Volkov described antisemitism not as a personal prejudice but as a “cultural code”. A new age, in which a person’s attitude to the “Jewish Question” again defines their identity, in a profound and symbolic way, is upon us. But the Jewish Question, which purported to ask why Jews had such difficulty in becoming ordinary citizens like everybody else, was always in reality an antisemitic question. The Israel Question looks for a solution to Israel’s inherent propensity to commit crimes against humanity, or in Hannah Arendt’s words, “crimes against the Human Condition”.

The mainstreaming of such a cultural code cannot be addressed via action plans or antisemitism training and it cannot be fixed by the Director General of the BBC, the VC of Goldsmiths or by the Mayor of London.

The problem at Glastonbury was not that nobody in the BBC control room understood what was going on clearly enough to cut the live feed. The problem was that thousands of our middle-class young people thought it was completely normal to chant “Death, death, to the I-D-F”, as they decompressed after their university exams.
Hen Mazzig: Blaming Netanyahu for antisemitism is a dangerous cop-out
We’ve seen this before. Jewish communities were blamed for the Black Death. For capitalism. For communism. For 9/11. For COVID. Now it’s Israel. The target changes, but the tactic is the same.

Some of the loudest voices calling out this injustice are Jews who disagree with Israeli policy, like me. I’ve spoken out against the war. I’ve protested the government’s treatment of Palestinians. I’ve marched for peace and pushed for reform. But I refuse to accept the idea that antisemitism is a reasonable or inevitable reaction to anything Israel does.

Because if you think Jews are attacked because of Netanyahu, then what happens when he’s gone? What’s your excuse when antisemitism keeps rising anyway? Spoiler: it will.

What strikes me most about Patinkin’s comment is how it reflects a kind of luxury, an assumption that antisemitism is just a recent political inconvenience, something that would go away if only Israel “behaved better.” That’s a comforting belief, but it’s not how antisemitism works.

My family didn’t need Netanyahu to experience antisemitism. My grandparents were expelled from Iraq and Tunisia simply for being Jews. There was no “occupation” then. No Likud. No right-wing government. Just Jews, and people who hated us for existing.

I’ve lived through it too. I’m a gay Mizrahi Jew who has lived in both Tel Aviv and London. I’ve lived through the Intifada when, then Israeli Labour leader, Ehud Barak, was the Prime Minister. I’ve had people threaten me for being Israeli, and others assume I support Netanyahu simply because I’m Jewish. I’ve been accused of genocide on social media and told to “go back to Poland,” a country my family has never set foot in.

Antisemitism was there before Netanyahu, and it will be there after him. Because antisemitism doesn’t need a reason. It always finds one.

So I want to kindly ask Mandy Patinkin, with sincerity: why is it that your voice is the loudest in an interview when you’re denouncing Netanyahu? Why not also use your platform speak up for Israeli civilians? For the 50 hostages still in Gaza? For your fellow Jews being targeted, harassed, and excluded from progressive spaces? Where was this voice on October 7?

I get it. Patinkin likely meant to express grief and frustration. Many Jews feel broken by what’s happening in Gaza. Many of us are disgusted by Netanyahu’s actions, policies, and coalition. But that pain cannot become permission to turn a victim-blaming narrative into progressive gospel.

If we want a better future for Israelis, Palestinians, and Jews around the world, we must start with moral clarity. That means holding leaders accountable, absolutely. But it also means refusing to justify bigotry, even when it comes cloaked in righteous anger.

Antisemitism is not the fault of Jews. It is the fault of antisemites. We should all be able to say that. Without apology.

And if you can’t condemn bigotry against your own people without needing to distance yourself first, without a disclaimer, without a “but Netanyahu,” then maybe you don’t really care.

Maybe it’s time for some soul-searching.

Because fighting antisemitism means standing up for every Jew, even those whose politics we oppose. It shouldn’t depend on how palatable or perfect we think we are. It should depend on one simple truth: our people deserve to live without hate or fear for our safety.


What Hamas Taught Mamdani: Lessons in Populist Propaganda and Totalitarian Takeover
Globalizing the Intifada
Mamdani’s campaign reflects Hamas’s strategy of “globalizing the intifada,” a call to extend the Palestinian campaign of violence and subversion worldwide. His long-standing support for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, evident since his 2014 advocacy at Bowdoin College and his 2021 push for local candidates to back BDS, situates New York’s local battles within a global anti-American, anti-imperialist, and anti-Zionist framework. In 2021, he introduced a state bill to bar New York charities from donating to Israeli settlement organizations, a move critics labeled “purely antisemitic.” In a June 2025 interview with The Bulwark, Mamdani defended the slogan “globalize the intifada” as symbolic of Palestinian human rights, stating, “That is not language that I use … any incitement to violence is something that I’m in opposition to.”

To be clear, the phrase “globalize the intifada” is a call to violence and terror, rooted in the bloody history of the First and Second Intifadas, which involved suicide bombings, lynchings, and attacks by PLO and Hamas terrorists, resulting in the killing of more than 1,000 civilians. “Globalize the intifada” has been chanted at pro-Hamas rallies together with slogans like “From the river to the sea Palestine will be free.” It explicitly advocates spreading violence and terror globally, not peaceful protest. Unlike terms like “muqawama silmiya” for peaceful resistance, “intifada” evokes jihad and the Islamic notion of martyrdom and armed direct actions, carrying the same dangerous and deadly implications as phrases such as “globalize the intifada.” Mamdani’s refusal to condemn the phrase outright drew criticism from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and Jewish leaders, signaling his alignment with radical narratives.

This mirrors Hamas’s post-October 7, 2023, strategy, which co-opted global far-left discourses, particularly on American campuses like Columbia University, to fuel anti-Israel sentiment and accusations of genocide at the International Criminal Court and International Court of Justice. Mamdani’s campaign similarly seeks to remake New York as a battleground for these global struggles, aligning with the Red-Green Alliance’s fusion of socialist and Islamist ideologies.

The Red-Green Alliance: A Shared Ideological Axis
The Red-Green Alliance unites far-left socialism and radical Islamism in a shared anti-Western, anti-capitalist, and anti-Zionist agenda. Both ideologies reject liberal democratic values, seeking revolutionary change through populist mobilization. Mamdani’s ties to this alliance are evident not only in his own actions but also through his father, Mahmood Mamdani, a member of the Gaza Tribunal’s advisory council, a UK-based group supportive of BDS and sympathetic to suicide bombers. In his 2004 book Good Muslim, Bad Muslim, the elder Mamdani wrote, “Suicide bombing needs to be understood as a feature of modern political violence rather than stigmatized as a mark of barbarism.” This intellectual framework, which normalizes extremist tactics, informs Zohran Mamdani’s political posture, blending socialist rhetoric with support for radical causes.

Parallels with Hamas’s 2006 Campaign
The parallels between Mamdani and Hamas are striking:
Economic Populism: Hamas promised subsidies and anti-corruption measures; Mamdani offers city-run bodegas and free transit, both exploiting economic discontent to gain support.

Political Radicalism: Hamas rejected bipartisan politics and security cooperation with Israel; Mamdani delegitimizes centrist governance and security institutions, framing them as tools of oppression.

Ideological Intransigence: Hamas’s anti-Israel stance mirrors Mamdani’s anti-Zionist rhetoric, both cloaked in narratives of resistance and liberation.

Mamdani is merely updating Hamas’s template for New York, replacing religious nationalism with intersectional socialism but maintaining a destabilizing posture that challenges democratic norms. The Destructive Legacy of Radical Ideologies

The Red-Green Alliance’s blend of socialism and Islamism, though packaged as progressive, is inherently destructive. Hamas’s rule in Gaza since 2006 has turned the region into a dystopian landscape of violence and poverty, with Gazans themselves blaming Hamas for their suffering. Mohammed Attalah of Beit Lahia told CNN on March 26, 2025: “Our demand is that Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people. This chaos that they have created is enough.”

Mamdani’s vision for New York risks a similar trajectory, prioritizing ideological purity over practical governance. His proposal for city-run grocery stores, for instance, recalls the Soviet Union’s inefficient food distribution systems, a regressive policy dressed as progress. The radical extremism of both socialism and Islamism, when unchecked, leads to societal decay, as evidenced by Gaza’s ongoing crisis.

Zohran Mamdani’s 2025 mayoral campaign is not merely a bid for office but a case study in political warfare, drawing lessons from Hamas’s 2006 electoral strategy. By blending economic populism with ideological radicalism, Mamdani seeks to globalize the intifada, targeting New York’s civic, economic, and social foundations. The Red-Green Alliance’s destructive ideas, while well-packaged, threaten pluralistic democracy with dystopian violence and destruction, as seen in Gaza. New Yorkers must recognize this campaign for what it is: a totalitarian takeover dressed in the garb of reform.


Zohran Mamdani’s dad’s deep links to controversial SJP group and incendiary anti-Israel stance at keynote speech exposed
Zohran Mamdani followed in his father’s path by setting up a branch of a US radical Muslim group at his elite alma mater in Maine, The Post has learned.

The Democratic mayoral nominee co-founded a branch of Students for Justice for Palestine at Bowdoin College in 2013, two years after his professor father, Mahmood Mamdani, gave the keynote address at the inaugural national conference of the group in October 2011.

“Whereas Apartheid South Africa was reluctant to claim that it was a white state, a white democracy, Israel is not.

“Israel publicly claims it’s a Jewish state and it demands that Palestinians acknowledge it as such…Israel was not South Africa. In many ways, it was, and is, worse than South Africa,” said Mamdani Snr., a professor of government and anthropology at Columbia University, in his speech.

The professor, 79, also claimed Israel admired the US for “dealing” with its indigenous populations after it was settled by Europeans. “The Zionists think of that particular part of American history as inspirational,” he said.

“It’s not a surprise that he learned from his father who teaches at the epicenter of anti-Israel indoctrination,” he added, referring to Columbia.

The 2011 national conference, titled “Students Confronting Apartheid Students for Justice in Palestine: First National Conference 2011” drew 350 student activists from across the country to Columbia, according to a report, which also noted participants headed to the Occupy Wall Street encampment in the Financial District to protest corporate greed.

Following Zohran Mamdani’s stunning victory in the Democratic primary earlier this month, the spotlight has turned to his family’s ties to anti-Israel groups. His father sits on the advisory council of the recently formed London-based Gaza Tribunal, which accuses Israel of committing genocide.
Zohran Mamdani Tells New York CEOs He Stands by 'the Idea' of 'Globalize the Intifada': Report
Socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani reportedly told top business leaders Tuesday evening that he stands by "the idea" behind the anti-Semitic slogan "globalize the intifada."

In an hourlong event hosted by business group Partnership for New York City, moderator and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, the son of Holocaust survivors, confronted Mamdani over the candidate's support for "globalize the intifada," a chant at anti-Israel protests that calls for violence against Jews worldwide. Mamdani responded that, while he will discourage protesters from using the slogan, he stands by "the idea" that the anti-Semitic phrase represents, Wall Street Journal reported.

Many top executives boycotted the Tuesday meeting over Mamdani's controversial stances, New York Post columnist Charles Gasparino reported. Among them were JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon, Blackstone's Steve Schwarzman, Bank of America's Brian Moynihan, BlackRock's Larry Fink, and Goldman Sachs's David Solomon.

Mamdani, the Democratic candidate following his upset primary victory over former governor Andrew Cuomo, has long defended "globalize the intifada," which his supporters chanted as they celebrated his win. The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum last month blasted Mamdani's attempt to "sanitize" the slogan, calling it "outrageous and especially offensive to survivors."

"Since 1987 Jews have been attacked and murdered under its banner," the museum noted.

In addition to defending "globalize the intifada," the candidate has refused to acknowledge Israel's right to exist and expressed support for the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement. Top Democrats have denounced Mamdani's defense of the phrase, with House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.) saying the slogan is "not an acceptable phrasing" and urging Mamdani to "clarify his position on that as he moves forward."


Trayon White, who said Jews control weather, re-elected to DC Council amid bribery
Voters in Washington’s Ward 8 re-elected Trayon White to his seat on the D.C. Council on Tuesday despite an ongoing bribery scandal and White’s past claims that Jews control the weather.

With 80% of the votes counted, the Associated Press called the race for White, who had just shy of 30% of the vote. He edged out three Democratic rivals, who split the remainder of the electorate about equally.

The D.C. Council expelled White in February after the FBI arrested him on bribery charges in 2024.

The U.S. Department of Justice alleges that White accepted a $156,000 bribe in exchange for corruptly using his position on the council to help renew municipal contracts.

In 2018, White posted a video to Facebook claiming that the Rothschild family controlled the weather.

“It just started snowing out of nowhere this morning, man,” White said in the since-deleted video. “Y’all better pay attention to this climate control, man, this climate manipulation.”

“And D.C. keep talking about, ‘We a resilient city,’” he said. “That’s a model based off the Rothschilds controlling the climate to create natural disasters they can pay for to own the cities, man. Be careful.”

In other videos, he said that the Rothschilds also control the World Bank and the U.S. federal government.

White initially apologized and embarked on a rehabilitation tour, attending a Passover seder and a visit to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. The Washington Post reported that White ditched the Holocaust museum tour halfway into its 90-minute runtime and was later found by reporters outside the museum with no explanation for his abrupt departure.


Trump admin action could cost Harvard $1b annually, university president says
Alan Garber, president of Harvard University, stated on Monday that the Trump administration’s recent actions against the school could cost it up to $1 billion annually.

In a joint statement with the school’s provost, executive vice president and vice president for finance and chief financial officer, Garber stated on July 14 that “the federal government has terminated billions of dollars of multi-year research grants and contracts that had been awarded to Harvard.”

The Trump administration has also proposed “dramatic reductions” in the National Institute of Health and other agencies “that support research,” the leaders wrote.

The university’s legal fight to host foreign students and academics remains ongoing, and a recent spending bill raises the tax on Harvard’s endowment from 1.4% to as high as 8%, the Harvard leaders stated.

“We hope that our legal challenges will reverse some of these federal actions and that our efforts to raise alternative sources of funding will be successful,” they wrote. “As that work proceeds, we also need to prepare for the possibility that the lost revenues will not be restored anytime soon.”


Trump admin probes University of Michigan over foreign funding disclosures
The U.S. Department of Education is investigating what it calls “inaccurate and incomplete disclosures” of foreign funding at the University of Michigan, a public university.

Paul Moore, the department’s chief investigative counsel, wrote to Domenico Grasso, the school’s interim president, that Michigan is legally required to disclose foreign gifts of at least $250,000 annually, and failure to do so could result in civil action from the U.S. Justice Department.

“Despite the University of Michigan’s history of downplaying its vulnerabilities to malign foreign influence, recent reports reveal that UM’s research laboratories remain vulnerable to sabotage, including what the U.S. Department of Justice recently described in criminal charges as ‘potential agroterrorism’ by Chinese nationals affiliated with UM,” Moore stated. (JNS sought comment from the university.)

“Unfortunately, tens of millions of dollars in foreign funding in UM’s disclosure reports have been reported in an untimely manner and appear to erroneously identify some of UM’s foreign funders as ‘nongovernmental entities,’ even though the foreign funders seem to be directly affiliated with foreign governments,” he added.
As federal deal nears, Columbia accepts IHRA definition of Jew-hatred
As Columbia University nears a deal with the Trump administration to restore “most” of the $400 million in grants and contracts the federal government froze in March, acting president Claire Shipman said on Tuesday that the school is adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition of Jew-hatred.

“Columbia is committed to taking all possible steps to combat antisemitism and the university remains dedicated to ensuring that complaints of discrimination and harassment of all types, including complaints based on Jewish and Israeli identity, are treated in the same manner,” she stated. “Formally adding the consideration of the IHRA definition into our existing anti-discrimination policies strengthens our approach to combating antisemitism.”

Shipman also said that as part of the university’s “zero tolerance” policy for “discrimination and harassment based on protected traits, including Jewish and Israeli identity,” the school won’t meet with or recognize “the group that calls itself ‘Columbia University Apartheid Divest,’ its representatives, or any of its affiliated organizations.”

The Ivy League school had announced in March that it would adopt a definition of antisemitism, specifying on Tuesday that the definition would be the IHRA one. It also said that it will appoint Title VI and Title VII coordinators to review and respond to discrimination complaints.

Columbia also said that it is working with the progressive group Project Shema, the Anti-Defamation League, the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism and Kalaniyot, and is “exploring a cooperation with Yad Vashem.” It is also working with Interfaith America, the Constructive Dialogue Institute and StoryCorps, it said, “to build programs that will go beyond traditional trainings, and the focus on antisemitism, to build bridges more broadly, to create constructive dialogue and to deepen our understanding of each other.”

“Columbia is committed to taking all possible steps to combat antisemitism and the university remains dedicated to ensuring that complaints of discrimination and harassment of all types, including complaints based on Jewish and Israeli identity, are treated in the same manner,” Shipman stated. “Formally adding the consideration of the IHRA definition into our existing anti-discrimination policies strengthens our approach to combating antisemitism.”
Columbia’s Still Broken. Don’t Let Trump Buy the Lie
Even the points Columbia has touted as “compliance” fall far short. Hiring 36 “special officers” with undefined authority to remove or arrest disruptive individuals is meaningless without a clear mandate. “Clarifying” that protests in some buildings are “generally not acceptable” is not a policy—it’s a loophole.

Let’s be very clear: putting lipstick on a pig doesn’t make it kosher. Cosmetic changes are not reform. Legalese is not accountability. A Tel Aviv outpost, or feel-good promises to develop K–12 curricula on “dialogue,” are not substitutes for dismantling the structures that enabled Jew-hatred to flourish at Columbia since long before October 7.

The lack of transparency surrounding this supposed “deal” is equally troubling. There has been no public release of the proposed agreement, no meaningful consultation with impacted students (I work with many of them), and no plan to ensure that foreign gifts—especially from hostile regimes—are not used to fund departments or programs that propagate antisemitic or anti-American ideologies. The Administration’s requirement for foreign gift reporting has no provision requiring disclosure of how those funds are actually spent—rendering it toothless.

Worse still, this deal sets a catastrophic precedent.

If Columbia can dodge meaningful reform and still walk away with its funding intact, what incentive remains for other universities to take civil rights enforcement seriously? This would embolden every institution that has tolerated antisemitism, foreign influence, and radical campus activism to double down—and wait out scrutiny with promises, not action.

The Trump Administration must hold the line.

There can be no federal funding until Columbia fully and unconditionally complies with every single demand laid out on March 13. No negotiations should proceed until the university:
Disbands the UJB and centralizes disciplinary authority in the Office of the President;
Bans identity-concealing masks during protests;
Institutes clear, enforceable restrictions on disruptive activism;
Holds both recognized and unrecognized student groups accountable;
Places the MESAAS department under outside receivership;
Adopts the IHRA definition of antisemitism;
Reforms its admissions and international recruiting practices;
Empowers campus security with real law enforcement authority.

Anything less is not a compromise—it’s capitulation.

The stakes are clear. What happens at Columbia will reverberate across the country. If we are serious about fighting Jew-hatred, restoring civil rights, and ending foreign-funded radicalization in our universities, we cannot afford to get this wrong. Our students deserve better.


Georgetown President Says He's 'Very Proud' of School's Relationship With Hamas-Friendly Qatar
Georgetown University's interim president, Robert Groves, told Congress he is "very proud" of the school's financial relationship with Qatar and defended his decision to award a presidential medal to a Qatari royal who openly celebrated Hamas's Oct. 7 massacre.

"I’m very proud of our mission in Qatar," Groves said Tuesday during a House Committee on Education and Workforce hearing. "It’s completely consistent with the Jesuit animation of working at the frontiers of serving groups that are not served easily in Washington."

Republican lawmakers at the hearing—which also featured University of California, Berkeley, chancellor Rich Lyons and City University of New York chancellor Félix Matos Rodríguez—focused much of their attention on Georgetown’s financial relationship with Qatar, through which the university has received approximately $1 billion from the Gulf state since 2005.

One project the university built with its influx of Qatari cash is the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMCU), situated within Georgetown's prestigious School of Foreign Service. Groves pointed to the ACMCU as one example of the school's efforts to address "interfaith conflict."

As the Washington Free Beacon reported on Monday, the ACMCU has a history of housing scholars who defend terrorism. Its founder, John Esposito, once described the late Muslim Brotherhood leader Yusuf Al-Qaradawi as "not anti-Jewish" but "anti-Israeli occupation of Palestine," for instance. Al-Qaradawi praised Adolf Hitler in a 2009 speech in which he said Hitler "put [the Jews] in their place" and claimed the Holocaust "was divine punishment."

Rep. Mark Harris (R., N.C.) confronted another aspect of Georgetown's relationship with Qatar, questioning Groves on his decision to present one of its highest honors, the Georgetown University President's Medal, to Qatari royal and Qatar Foundation leader Sheikha Moza bint Nasser during a ceremony marking the 20th anniversary of Georgetown’s Doha campus earlier this year. That decision was at odds with "Georgetown's Catholic and Jesuit mission," Harris contended, because Sheikha Moza celebrated Oct. 7 and lauded late Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in a social media post just months before she received the award.

"The name Yahya means the one who lives," she wrote. "They thought he died, but he lives. Like his namesake, Yahya bin Zakariya, he will live on, and they will be gone."

Groves defended the award. He said the "deepest commitments of Georgetown stem from our Jesuit heritage of educating youth around the world" and called Sheikha Moza "a great example of that through her work over the decades." Georgetown would not revoke the medal, Groves added, "because the reason for the medal remains true: her decades-long work and educating the poorest children of the world."

When Rep. Glenn Thompson (R., Pa.), meanwhile, asked Groves whether Georgetown employs any anti-Semitic faculty members or fellows, the interim president responded, "We have faculty that have the range of opinions on every issue facing humankind."

Thompson singled out one Georgetown employee, Emad Shahin, a senior fellow at the Qatari-funded ACMCU. Shahin described Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack as the "vision" for the change "we [Arabs] long for," adding that Hamas’s "vision represents us."

"That is not the Georgetown policy," Groves replied. "What we do in cases like that is to assure that the student welfare—the welfare of the GU community—is protected through events like that." He declined to say whether the university had taken any disciplinary action against Shahin.
George Mason Faculty Members Asked Their President To Denounce Anti-Semitism Like He Did Islamophobia. He Declined, Emails Show.
When three Palestinian college students were shot in Vermont, George Mason University president Gregory Washington issued a statement from his Northern Virginia office titled, "Denouncing Islamophobia." It came just weeks after a group of nearly 20 law professors asked Washington to release a similar statement denouncing anti-Semitism—a request Washington declined, emails reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show.

One professor wrote to Washington in December 2023, roughly a month after his "Denouncing Islamophobia" statement. "I do not recall reading a single email you have sent to the GMU community of professors, staff, and students since Oct. 7, 2023, in which you solely denounced antisemitism, in which you identified the harassment, assaults, vandalism, and other criminal acts as motivated by antisemitism," the professor said.

That message followed Washington's argument that such an email was unnecessary, given that he had already "condemned the acts of Hamas and called them terrorist acts" in the wake of Oct. 7. Washington did so in an Oct. 17, 2023, statement titled, "World events, the First Amendment, and George Mason University," which condemned "the craven acts of terrorism by Hamas on innocent Israelis, while acknowledging the plight of the people of Palestine to seek self-government, and the deaths of innocent Palestinians last week."

For the professors, that statement was part of the problem, not the solution. University statements mentioning anti-Semitism, they noted to Washington, were full of caveats. When a man distributed anti-Semitic flyers on campus, for example, Washington penned a message titled, "Statement on President's Patriot Plan for Community Safety and Well-Being" that addressed "increased acts of violence and hostility toward members of the Jewish and Muslim communities." In the case of the Vermont shooting—which occurred some 500 miles from George Mason's campus and did not result in hate crime charges—Washington was more direct.

"As we acknowledge and address the fear that our students are experiencing, it is important to denounce all forms of Islamophobia present in our community," he wrote. "To the Palestinian communities at George Mason University, I offer this: Mason is also your home."

Now, George Mason is facing a civil rights investigation by the Trump administration in response to a civil rights complaint alleging the Virginia university "discriminated on the basis of national origin (shared Jewish ancestry) by failing to respond effectively to a pervasive hostile environment for Jewish students and faculty"—a charge the university has denied. The Chronicle of Higher Education on Thursday reported that "there were signs that the new probe was part of a coordinated campaign to oust" Washington and pointed out that the Free Beacon published the administration’s notice to George Mason on July 2, a day after it was sent.


BBC CEO told to ‘resign’ over attempt to distinguish between ‘wings’ of Hamas
Jewish communal organisations have heavily criticised the CEO of BBC News – with one calling for her resignation – over her apparent attempt to distinguish between military and political wings of Hamas despite the British government proscribing the group in its entirety four years ago.

Footage has emerged of Deborah Turness on a BBC staff call to discuss the Gaza: How to survive a warzone documentary, which was pulled by the Corporation after it emerged that its main child narrator, Abdullah, was the son of a senior Hamas official.

In the video excerpt which has been widely shared on social media, Turness says:

“I think it’s really important that we are clear that Abdullah’s father was the Deputy Agriculture Minister and therefore was a member of the Hamas-run government, which is different to being part of the military wing of Hamas. And I think that externally it’s often simplified – ‘he was in Hamas’ – and I think it’s an important point of detail that we need to continually remind people of.”

The UK government banned what it described as ‘the military wing’ – the Izz al-Din al-Qassam brigades – of Hamas in 2001. However, in 2021, the UK proscribed Hamas as a whole, with the Home Office saying it had made the decision following advice from the cross-government Proscription Review Group. As the BBC itself reported: “at the time [2001], the Home Office said the government’s assessment was that there was a distinction between the political and military wings of the group but now [2021] assessed this distinction to be artificial.”

Responding to the video of Turness, the Jewish Leadership Council said:

“In a week when the BBC has found itself to be on the wrong side of its own editorial guidance, this is yet another failure. There is no distinction between the military and political wings of Hamas in both law and practice. The BBC must take action and Deborah Turness should resign.”

The Board of Deputies said:
“We are extremely concerned that within days of the BBC’s damning report into their flawed documentary ‘Gaza: How to survive a warzone’, the CEO of news, Deborah Turness, appears to be obfuscating and minimising the BBC’s failings.

“Hamas is a proscribed terrorist organisation, and this so-called distinction between political and military wings has been categorically dismissed as artificial by the British government. Her remarks suggest that the BBC has not learned even basic lessons from their recent mistakes. Errors of this kind must come with accountability.”

David Collier, the investigative journalist who first uncovered the BBC’s use of the son of a senior Hamas official, told Jewish News: “I think the whole thing is some type of sick joke.

“The Gaza documentary, and its fallout have exposed just how lost the BBC has become. And if those at the top of the BBC do not understand that Hamas in its entirety is a proscribed terrorist organisation, then perhaps it goes some way to explaining why the BBC’s reporting from Gaza has at times appeared to be waving the Hamas flag.”


Solving the Palestinian problem requires the truth, not misinformation
However, the most egregious statement by Jabari, allowed to be printed by the WSJ, is: “But when you deny people legitimate political channels for their aspirations, when you close every door to dignity and self-determination, you can’t be surprised when some choose desperate measures.”

Jabari is therefore supporting, endorsing, defending and rationalizing the inhumane and barbaric violence of Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas (and its followers) brutally murdered, burned babies, raped women and kidnapped civilians. And they gleefully filmed themselves doing it. These barbaric actions are against every international law.

And if Jabari believes “doors to dignity and self-determination” are closed, maybe he can explain why Palestinians have rejected repeated two-state solutions, while Hamas and Hezbollah have signed many ceasefires, only to start attacking Israeli civilians time and again. If any doors have been closed, the Palestinians have done it to themselves.

Jabari’s bio line in the article merely states that he “is a Geneva-based international-affairs analyst.” While he is that, it should be noted that he has done very well for himself educationally and career-wise. He serves as the global engagement lead at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Switzerland. This is the prestigious organization that runs the famous annual Davos Meeting. Yet he still considers himself a “refugee.”

Finally, it is most disturbing and upsetting that the reputable Wall Street Journal would give Jabari a platform to foment lies and misinformation. Solving the Palestinian problem requires facing the truth, not misinformation. They should know that.


Reuters Silent on Gaza Photojournalist Who Works for Houthi TV
She works for terrorists.

She praised Hamas for slaughtering Jews on October 7.

But Reuters is silent on the employment status of Gaza freelance journalist Doaa Rouqa.

In November 2024, HonestReporting revealed that Rouqa was working for the Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV while she was freelancing for Reuters.

A year earlier, we exposed how Rouqa had shared enthusiastic Facebook posts celebrating the October 7 Hamas attack that triggered the Israel-Hamas war.

Reuters glossed over Rouqa’s praise for terror — claiming that her posts had been removed and that “appropriate action” had been taken.

But she continued working for the news agency, which also failed to respond to our exposé concerning her moonlighting as a reporter for the Iranian-backed Yemeni Houthi movement — a U.S.-designated terrorist organization.


Sanctioned Antisemitic U.N. ‘Rapporteur’ Resurfaces in Latin America Demanding Destruction of Israeli Economy
United Nations “Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories” Francesca Albanese made a public appearance on Tuesday in Bogotá, Colombia, following the State Department announcing sanctions on her for years of pro-Hamas, antisemitic rhetoric, delivering a speech calling for the destruction of Israel’s economy.

Albanese holds a unique role at the U.N. in which she is tasked with documenting potential human rights abuses in Gaza and the West Bank, under the authority of the U.N. Human Rights Council, which has struggled for years to overcome the influence of the nefarious dictatorships that make up its membership. As of October, the Council includes such repressive and actively genocidal states as Ethiopia, China, Cuba, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

The “special rapporteur” has distinguished herself in her role through outlandish vitriolic statements against Israel and overt support for jihadist terrorist organizations such as Hamas. Albanese refused to explicitly condemn the Hamas atrocities of October 7, 2023, and instead insisted that “context” was necessary and Israel did not have a right to self-defense in response. Albanese also denied that the October 7 attack was antisemitic.

Prior to the October 7 attacks, which she has since used to justify more condemnations of Israel, Albanese declared that the United States was “subjugated by the Jewish lobby” and attended a Hamas conference, encouraging the jihadists to “resist.”

Albanese continued her strident condemnation of Israel in her remarks on Tuesday at a conference in Bogotá organized by the “Hague Group,” a coalition of anti-Israel countries led by the socialist governments of South Africa and Colombia. In her speech, Albanese demanded that every country in the world “suspend all ties with the state of Israel.”

“Each state must immediately review and suspend all ties with the state of Israel … and ensure its private sector does the same,” Albanese proclaimed. “The Israeli economy is structured to sustain the occupation that has now turned genocidal.”

“Cutting ties only with the components that are in the occupied territories would only treat the symptoms,” she suggested.


Ed Davey calls on government to sanction Netanyahu over Gaza ‘ethnic cleansing’
Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey has called for the UK to sanction Benjamin Netanyahu after claiming the Israeli Prime Minister wanted to “lock the whole population of Gaza into a giant prison, a plan that would clearly amount to ethnic cleansing.”

Speaking at Prime Minister’s Questions, Davey initially praised a report from the Board of Deputies’ Commission on Antisemitism, chaired by Lord Mann and Dame Penny Mordaunt, which set out 10 recommendations to tackle the “appalling scourge” of anti-Jewish racism.

But he then turned to the situation in Gaza saying the world was “looking on in horror at the scenes.”

Davey then accused Israeli ministers of planning ethnic cleansing in Gaza, and asked whether Keir Starmer agreed that “this is utterly appalling and unacceptable.”

He then called on the UK to “make clear to the Israeli Government that the UK will not stand by and will act, starting by sanctioning Prime Minister Netanyahu himself.”

In response the PM said he was “appalled” by the reports of more Palestinian civilians being killed whilst trying to access aid.

Starmer said the UK raised concerns with Israel “regularly” and that in relation to civilian deaths “I would expect them to be fully and transparently investigated with full accountability for any failings.”

Israel, added Starmer “must clearly put in place measures that properly protect civilians in line with international law.”

The PM said that alongside an immediate ceasefire the government wanted to see the remaining hostages released, aid to enter into Gaza at speed and for a political process to open.

Starmer also committed to responding in full to the recommendations of the Board’s report on antisemitism.
Starmer suspends four MPs including two openly hostile to government Gaza policy
Keir Starmer has suspended four MPs over “persistent breaches of party discipline” with two of the parliamentarians known for their hostility to Labour’s policy around Israel and Gaza.

In an unexpected move, the MPs Brian Leishman, Neil Duncan-Jordan and Chris Hinchcliff and Rachael Maskell had the party whip removed after they voted against the government on issues including the winter fuel allowance and planning reform.

It is understood the suspensions are pending a future review into the MPs conduct.

Jewish News understands that both Maskell and Leishman’s frequent outbursts in relation to Gaza have also been taken into consideration, with claims that the female York MP was openly organising behind-the-scenes to defeat the government in an emergency debate on Gaza.

Both MPs also did not vote as parliament proscribed the Palestine Action group earlier this month.

In a further move, the MP Rosena Allin Khan, Bell Ribeiro-Addy and Mohammed Yasin were also removed as trade envoys. All three had been active rebels over the government’s welfare reforms.

The trio have all been vocal pro-Palestine campaigners.

Labour sources denied any of the suspensions were down to MPs engaging in conversation with Jeremy Corbyn or Zarah Sultana over joining their new left-wing party.


How Israel Set Back Iran’s Nuclear Knowledge
During its recent campaign against Iran, Israel systematically eliminated leading scientists involved in the Iranian nuclear program. The Institute for Science and International Security examines the biographies of these scientists, and the efficacy of this tactic:

This is not the first time Israel has targeted scientists associated with Iran’s nuclear-weapons program. . . . However, this time the Israeli effort is different and recovering may be far more difficult and take far longer. Not only were killings in the twelve-day war on a much larger scale, they were also part of a broader Israeli program. In an apparent effort to pre-empt recovery and recruitments, Israel threatened a far larger group of scientists during the war via social media, an effort that may continue, warning them explicitly that death awaits them if they work on nuclear weapons.

In addition, Israel also targeted the detailed nuclear-weapons information, designs, and data needed to develop and build nuclear weapons.

When discussing the attack of the Iranian nuclear program, many [employ] the phrase “knowledge cannot be destroyed.” But it is well known through history that it can be forgotten, lost, or suppressed. In a highly secretive program such as Iran’s nuclear-weapons program, highly cognizant of the risk of leaks, it is likely that full knowledge of the most sensitive, most current developments of the program and how individual parts were intended to work together existed only in the heads of a few.


Romania to purchase Iron Dome, 1st EU country to buy Israeli defense system
Romania will become the first European country to buy Israel's Iron Dome aerial defense system, according to Defense Minister Ionuț Moșteanu speaking to Romania's TVR on Tuesday.

The contract will be signed in the fall, he said, adding to the country's short-range missile interception capabilities.

"These are defensive missile batteries that we don’t have, and we need them," he said, citing the example from Iranian attacks that targeted Tel Aviv.

"It will protect us as well. Whether it’s airports, military bases, or, God forbid, we need to defend our cities," he added.

Buying the system will account for almost 30 percent of Romania's defense budget, with future purchases to include short-range missiles and corvettes for the navy, he said. This is part of Romanian President Nicușor Dan's new defense plan, which is yet to be presented, he added.

As an EU and NATO country, Romania has come under increasing pressure over Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. In addition, US President Donald Trump has demanded NATO allies increase spending.
Remembering Sol Stern and His Contribution to the Life of the Mind
Sol Stern, one of the great American Jewish public intellectuals, died earlier this week at the age of eighty-nine. Although born in Ramat Gan in pre-state Israel, Stern spent his childhood in the Bronx, and his trajectory followed that of many of the original neoconservatives: he grew up during the Depression, attended City College, began his career as a political writer on the left before moving rightward, and was deeply animated by two issues: combating urban decay in New York City and defending Israel. Stern’s decades-long commitment to school choice and educational reform bears some responsibility for recent changes in law and jurisprudence that, inter alia, are making it easier and more affordable for Jews to send their children to Jewish schools. His clarity of thought and independence of mind, especially when displayed on the pages of Commentary, certainly did much to shape my own thinking.

You can read a fine obituary here, and I also recommend his two articles published in Mosaic. But if I had to recommend just one piece of his writing, it would be this 2010 essay on Tel Aviv, the “first Hebrew city,” as its founders termed it:

From an idea in the sand dunes to an economic and cultural dynamo a century later, Tel Aviv is the most impressive testament to the Zionist movement’s practical accomplishments. Yet the city also represents something of a resolution to one of Zionism’s most consequential philosophical schisms.

Many early Zionist thinkers, strongly influenced by the utopian writings of Tolstoy and the European socialists, placed their hopes for Jewish national revival on the ideas of collectivism and of working the land. The influential writer A.D. Gordon, for example, abhorred cities and commerce, believing that urban life forced Jews into parasitic, nonproductive occupations. The best response to European anti-Semitism was thus for Jews to return to Israel and remake themselves, physically and spiritually, in communal agricultural settlements called kibbutzim.

Tel Aviv’s founders championed a very different path to Zionist fulfillment: commerce, entrepreneurial capitalism, and bourgeois values. The land on which the first Tel Aviv homes went up was purchased from Arabs by the Jewish National Fund, but this wasn’t a collective, organized-from-above enterprise. Individuals bought property, started businesses, won and lost.

The city’s economic revolution [in more recent years] has helped make many Israelis rich. Israel’s GDP reached $200 billion in 2008, with an impressive per-capita income of around $28,000. People are even richer in Tel Aviv, where they spend their money on high culture and entertainment. For its 400,000 residents, the city now offers more than a dozen symphony orchestras and chamber ensembles, lots of theater groups and dance companies, countless art galleries, museums and bookstores, and a fabled nonstop nightlife. And Tel Aviv still loves its poets: the greatest Hebrew verses of the century, from Bialik’s to Yehuda Amichai’s, have been engraved on the glass facades of public bus shelters.
