A College ‘education’: Driving a stake into the heart of the American Jewish future
Torah inscription on the Liberty Bell: “Proclaim liberty throughout the Land, to all the inhabitants thereof” —
Re-reading this at a time when college pogroms loom large — and thinking of Tevya — as he leaves Anatevka for the last time, for America
Does the Jewish community have a future in this country — perhaps it would be prudent or wise to give up and throw in the towel — and leave. Here, asking on behalf of a people who relies on education for their children and their country, — in a country that relies on education for its future (one that is the envy of the world). Now, imagine an American education free of harassment of Jewish students.
Currently, we are experiencing a level of harassment that has taken on the form of (ongoing) pogroms; — and just to be clear, ‘pogroms’ are defined as physical (and dare I say) psychological violence directed against Jews, inspired by and protected by governmental institutions, such as colleges, their administrators, their professors, and their academic-antisemitic-junior-collaborators (also known as their students) all now aiming their vitriol at anything Jew-walking.
While Jewhate appears to be normalizing among American college students — isolation of the Jew-students appears as (one of) the new tactics. The newest of which is to separate Judaism from Zionism and thereby separate the Jewish students from Zionism as a litmus test of belonging to a new humanity, one writ large, free of Jews and their Jeiwh claim to their indigenous status to a land they have stolen from poor innocent Filistines. It does have the ring (or an odorous smell test) of a “Mengele-style separation of Jews” — albeit at an early stage.
That being said, it’s really never too early ‘to tell which way the wind is blowing.’
Here, in an unlocked link. even a NYT article appears complicit in its normalizing this new rampant anti-Jew-anti-Zionism, now streaming through the variant Campus Quads of American academia.
Essentially we are now witnessing an ongoing deterioration and an almost hospice-inspired-deathwatch of American College and University education. The Nazi-infested German colleges, their students, and professors of 1930’s Weimar turned Nazi Germany would be ‘oh so proud,’ . . . . indeed.
On Campus, a New Social Litmus Test: Zionist or Not?
Some Jewish students say they’ve been dropped by old roommates and sorority sisters and ostracized from campus clubs and teams because of their views — which are sometimes assumed.

Here, a small smattering of reactions to Admin and College-sponsored antisemitism(s) for our edification (as they begin to surface):
- A federal lawsuit filed this morning against Harvard University alleges that since the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks in Israel, students and faculty on campus have called for violence against Jews and celebrated Hamas’ terrorism daily as the university ignored harassment — including a physical assault — of Jewish students…
- Hundreds of Jewish students, faculty, administrators, and staff from Rutgers University signed a pair of letters condemning the school’s handling of antisemitism on campus a day before its president, Jonathan Holloway, was scheduled to testify in Congress…
- University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Chancellor Mark Mone sent an email to the campus community yesterday apologizing for a letter he sent last week condemning “genocide” in Gaza and calling for a cease-fire, saying he shouldn’t have “weighed in on deeply complex geopolitical and historical issues”…
- Here, Bloomberg appears firewalled: looks at how University of Pennsylvania alumni, including venture capitalist David Magerman, are approaching their giving to their alma mater in light of the school’s handling of antisemitism and anti-Israel demonstrations on campus…

Let’s be aware of what is happening in the American Jewish Community — and when appropriate, let’s beware . . .
