This semester did not go as planned for many college students. No one expected the pandemonium that accompanied COVID-19, forcing us to learn remotely for half of the semester and causing the senior class to miss graduation and commencement. COVID-19 has been disastrous on a global scale. It has killed...
A Two-Sided Coin

Mutual cooperation has been primarily focused within the territories in Judea and Samaria; however, Israeli humanitarian and medical aid to the Gaza Strip has been consistent on a weekly...
When Did the BDS Campaign Get so Lazy?
I recently attended The Key to Justice webinar, hosted by the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign on the 72nd anniversary of the Nakba, the annual commemoration of the events of Israeli Independence in 1948 which led to the forced and voluntary displacement of many Palestinians.

Are Pro-Israel Dissenters Safe at UMASS Amherst?
Parents might want to think twice about letting their kids attend UMASS Amherst in September. Maybe a gap year is a good idea, especially if their child has political beliefs that run counter to those that dominate the campus at UMASS Amherst. Why? Judging from a $27 million lawsuit being...
Virulent Antisemitism at Florida State, Defended by Students
A Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter has offered us yet another astounding defense of antisemitic vitriol—this time at Florida State University (FSU).
