Watching the videos of the Columbia University protesters these past few days I wondered how these students gained admission to a supposedly prestigious university. Here’s some insight about the backgrounds of some of them and what they share in common.
Three years ago, I posted a column headlined, “Why the L.A. Times Deserves to Fail.” Though I didn’t think it possible, the daily has declined further in the intervening years. If billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong retains ownership, I’m doubtful the publication will survive.
Count me among the Angelenos who won’t mourn the loss.
My tribute to Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib for being crowned the “2023 Antisemite of the Year.”
Why the looming ouster of Harvard president Claudine Gay will be bad for the Jews.
For the longest time, I was wowed if I met someone who taught or studied at Harvard, MIT, and Penn. Here’s some “context” why that’s no longer the case.
It’s admirable if Musk is so true to his beliefs and morals that he’s willing to tell advertisers to go f*** themselves if they don’t like how his X platform is perceived. I’d more admire advertisers who respond in kind and say, “Elon, back at you.”
The furor over Elon Musk’s implicit antisemitic comment that Jews promote white hatred is driven by the media’s dislike of the technology entrepreneur and not a genuine concern about growing and pervasive Jew hatred.
When it comes to PR and media relations, Israel is no match for Rashida Tlaib and her Hamas enablers.
Antisemitism is rampant in America but it’s particularly virulent in Michigan, home to one of the most notorious antisemites of all time.
After Israel conducted its daring 1976 raid to rescue Jewish hostages held by Palestinian terrorists at Uganda’s Entebbe airport, the rabbi of my family’s Toronto synagogue warned that one day Israel might need to send troops to rescue Canadian Jews at the city’s airport. I thought the rabbi’s statement was preposterous.
What’s happening in Canada in wake of the Hamas massacre of 1,400 Israeli civilians has demonstrated my rabbi knew what he was talking about.
