We haven’t seen this from any of the states that are home to elite colleges and universities that have turned into the cesspools of bigotry and hotbeds of anti-Semitism they once claimed to be fighting.
Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas.
Today, I issued an Executive Order to fight the increase in acts of antisemitism at Texas colleges & universities.
Texas stands with our Jewish students.
We will ensure our college campuses are safe spaces for the Jewish community. pic.twitter.com/BgKBoZN2N8

Since the Oct. 7th massacre committed against Israel by Hamas, there has been an outpouring of pro-Hamas protests across the world not condemning the terror group but rather the Jewish State, which is still reeling from the murder of over 1,200 Israelis. But perhaps the most extreme displays from the Hamas-sympathizing supporters are coming from American college campuses.
NY Post Today more than half of colleges have a bias-response team and 85% have speech codes that tread on free speech rights to protect students from bigotry. With all these measures in place, how is it possible that 73% of Jewish students say they’ve witnessed antisemitism on campus this school year? Where have all these fancy administrative mechanisms gone.
Elite college campuses — those bastions of “inclusivity” and “tolerance” — have suddenly transformed into just the opposite.
This week, antisemitic posters depicting a skunk in the white and blue of the Israeli flag and a Star of David, were plastered across Columbia University. Chants of “intifada” still echo through the Morningside Heights campus, where students recently had to pass through an NYPD security check to enter the gates.
“Antisemitism has gone from a problem to a crisis, and now it’s just gotten to a point where there is no business as usual. If you’re a Jew at one of these schools, then you have to do something,” Eyal Yakoby, a student at the University of Pennsylvania, told The Post.
He’s suing his university for allowing antisemitism to flourish on campus, in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.
Shabbos Kestenbaum is similarly suing his school, Harvard University. Kestenbaum reports the mistreatment has not let up in the spring semester. He shared photos with The Post late last month of defaced Hamas hostage posters on campus, which were graffitied with references to Jeffrey Epstein and accusations that Jews were responsible for 9/11.
NY Post The “cleansing” of Jewish students and lecturers from German universities from 1933 to 1935 was one of the Nazis’ first goals met.
Ninety years later, in the metropolis with the world’s largest Jewish population, the City University of New York has successfully completed a yearslong initiative to expunge all Jews from its senior leadership.
Spring will see the exit of the last two remaining Jews on the school’s 80-member senior-leadership team, in a city whose population is about 20% Jewish. It will be the first time since its 1961 founding that CUNY’s senior leadership will be Jew-free or Judenrein (as the Nazis called it), for those who fear the horrors of history repeating itself.
And CUNY School of Law is under state investigation for its faculty’s unanimous adoption of a BDS resolution as campus policy. Perhaps the report’s most important finding: The university doesn’t merely misunderstand anti-Semitism — its leaders actively work to promote and defend it.
Not surprisingly, Hamas-linked CAIR is outraged at Governor Abbott’s Executive Order, calling it an “Attack on Muslim free speech.”
Calcalistech Would the University of Pennsylvania host a literary festival featuring KKK-affiliated authors who promote the lynching of Black people? Would Harvard be tolerant of student organizations publishing a letter blaming Harvey Weinstein’s victims for their sexual assault, calling upon other men to rape women too? Would Stanford allow students to hang banners out their dorm windows calling for the burning of LGBTQ students and faculty? Would professors at Cornell and Yale hold onto their jobs after suggesting Asians or Native Americans should be sent to limited and designated remote areas in America?
Of course, they wouldn’t.
Turns out that supporting the burning of Jewish babies, raping Jewish children, and torturing, beheading, and kidnapping innocent Jews does not make the cut for Harvard to question the moral character of its faculty and students. Turns out you can support these things and still be welcome in the communities of Harvard and UPenn, and keep your job at Stanford, Cornell, and Yale.
While all of this was happening, in the most disgusting act of victim-blaming, 34 student groups at Harvard declared that “the Israeli regime was responsible for all unfolding violence.” Following this massacre, a Stanford professor humiliated Jewish students, telling an Israeli girl that she was a colonizer and making Jewish students stand in a corner. A Yale professor applauded the pogrom on social media, and a Cornell professor described the Hamas attacks as “exhilarating” while leading an off-campus rally.
Which begs the question—why is hate speech only tolerated when it is directed at Jews? Why, when 1,200 innocent people are butchered in a single day simply because they are Jewish, is it OK to blame them, celebrate, and rally for the undisputable bad guys? What is behind the double standard and hypocrisy of these so-called “elite institutions”? The only answer can be that they don’t think hatred directed at Jews is that terrible in comparison to the many other things they absolutely do not tolerate. There is a term for that: antisemitism.
OhioSenateUniversity professors across the nation are coming under fire for hateful comments, appalling treatment of Jewish students, and a shocking show of support for terrorists.
A Stanford professor was suspended for forcing Jewish students in two of his classes to stand in a corner while he called them “colonizers.” He also shrugged off the deaths of “only” 6 million Jews in the Holocaust and called Hamas terrorists “freedom fighters.” A rabbi who spoke to students said they were left traumatized and dehumanized.
A Columbia professor called the Hamas massacre of Israeli and American citizens on October 7 “awesome” and a “stunning victory”.” Professor Joseph Massad faced calls for his resignation back in 2004 after accusations that he antagonized Jewish and Israeli students in the classroom. He faces them again today, as an online petition calling for his removal quickly amassed more than 30,000 signatures.
A Yale professor, Zareena Grewal, stated on X: “Prayers for Palestinians. Israel is a murderous, genocidal settler state and Palestinians have every right to resist through armed struggle.” She reacted to the massacre by tweeting, “It’s been such an extraordinary day!” Her X bio describes herself as a “radical Muslim.” Yale defended her right to free speech but a petition calling on the university to fire her collected more than 25,000 signatures in one day.
Students for Justice in Palestine at the University of Virginia issued a statement calling the Hamas massacre “a step towards a free Palestine.” And a professor there is now under investigation by the state’s attorney general for offering students extra credit to attend a SJP event to “stand in solidarity with Palestinians resisting occupation.”
An Albany Law School professor tweeted, “Long live the Palestinian resistance & people of Gaza” who are “tearing down the walls of colonialism & apartheid.” She added, “As the Biden admin builds more walls at US borders, the people of the world are rising up & tearing walls down. The Palestinians are a beacon for us all.”
New York University Student Bar Association President Ryna Workman wrote in the student newspaper, “Israel bears full responsibility for this tremendous loss of life”and refused to condemn Hamas. In a story that made national headlines but garnered little sympathy, Workman lost a job offer from a prestigious law firm because of her comments.
Pro-Palestinian protestors and Antifa members at the University of Washington lobbed homophobic slurs at a reporter while chanting ‘From the River to the Sea’ and intifada,’ well-known code words for the destruction of Israel and a call to massacre of Jews.
‘Intifada’ chants were common at UCLA’s Pro-Palestine protest, where pro-Hamas students wore masks to conceal their identities. The chants calling for the murder of the Jewish people were also heard on campus at the University of Minnesota.
A professor at the University of North Carolina raised an Israeli flag to counter a pro-Palestinian protest and was pushed aside.
At Columbia University, an Israeli student was assaulted by a suspect who tore down photos of Israeli hostages the victim had posted. The suspect hit the victim with a stick, breaking his finger and lacerating the victim.
Despite all this fury on campus the silence of university leaders was deafening.
30 student organizations at Harvard University signed a letter by the university’s Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee and Harvard Graduate Students for Palestine that claims they “hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.”
Just think about this: Columbia University’s President a few years after WWII was Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, the Liberator of Europe. He then was elected as President of the US in 1952. He would be heckled on campus today if he revisited Columbia. I doubt more than 3% of the students even know that fact.
At least the US has some left to stand up against spreading Antisemitism. Here universities and colleges have been turned into 1933s style of pogrom hotbeds.
Have you heard the latest?, no well here it is and its rich let me tell you. The arabs get the high seat in the uno for the rights of women. That is like giving a wolf the key to your pasture and what i dont understand is what rights will the arabs defend?.That is why our unis and more are so far degenerated that its too late to change then instead of learning they teach them the lgbtq and islam shit and for all the we are more shit so we dont need to wonder as to how but we should definetly think about changing this. The children are our future and what is our future with children like this?.
The schools are bought and paid for by Arab oil money. Couple that with the creation of “palistine liberation” indoctrination clubs and the hiring of fanatic muslim professors, you have the recipe of all the antisemitism we see brewing on campuses. None of this will stop until you cut the head off the snake, ending the flow of oil money into the universities.
