Wrong: problem with antisemitism started ( or should i say " re-started") long before October 7. There has been a long developing world view and identity politics on the LEFT that places jews as being an opressor and core cause of injustice- unfortunately we are stuck with this shallow world view for quite some time, incubated and perpetuated on many colledge campusses. Noteworthy that NYT itself takes a similarly shallow view of current antisemitism on campusses. NYT asks about antisemitism but answers about something else. Dissapointing blind spot
Its not liberal culture on Campuses, its far left , bordering anarchism, on campus. Stop equating the two. The congressional hearing where to understand why the presidents of these university did nothing to help Jewish students feel safe or even prevent getting attacked by the leftist mob. You are the greatest spinners on actual facts of the situation. Lord this is why NYT is losing so much credibility as a news agency and being see as a leftist ideology pusher.
I'm glad the NY Times has discovered free speech ❤
Supporting palastine doesn't equate anti-semitism, it's a false narrative set up to shut down dissent.
notice: Amy Wax once said things like African students should not go to such a top uni as Penn, and that Asian should be as few as possible in the US, she seems to be a white supremacist. And after i recap this event, it makes me wonder why, students in uni, most of them, would lean toward liberalism, can this demonstrate that staying liberal mind is just the right and rational thing to do? or too naive, too ideal…to be carried out in reality?
I do not understand how freedom for Palestinians equalls anti-semitism….especially in the context of openly expresses anti-Palestinian/muslim views from high ranking Israeli officials and the ACTUAL killing and attemptedd extermination of the Ppalestinian people by Isreal….what a topsy turvy world we are now living in.
Those heads of the top universities were a disgrace, but a great example of what has happened to academia since the 1980s. All part of destroying the ethos of the West, which always was pro Justice, Mercy, and help for the underdog. Now the academic elites (who only hate the rich) are making sure that the formerly disadvantaged are now taking over the West. And you will not like it when it comes to pass, because Justice, Mercy and help for the underdog is the last thing they care about.
I'm from Latin America and I find it weird that people find it wrong for Americans to praise violence and acts of war. Isn't that how a lot of Americans – including influential people and parts of the political leadership – behave all the time?
You almost lost me here today, when you started going off-topic and employing the same tactics as Hon. Ms. Stefanic. That was just illustrative purpose right? Maybe not. Either way. Phew. Glad to see you come back, in time for the ending.
highly recommend norman x. finkelstein's latest book: "i'll burn that bridge when i get to it! heretical thoughts on identity politics, cancel culture and academic freedom" . a tour de force of sardonic factual and logical reasoning.
Anti-zionism is NOT antisemitism.
Anti-semitism is wrong. Being against a foreign government’s actions or our government’s taxpayer funded support of those actions can’t be anti-Semitic even if the foreign government is Israel. Israel does not speak for all Jews and it isn’t the religion, it is a government. Being an apartheid ethnostate makes people conflate Judaism with the state of Israel.
Calling for the genocide of Jews is abhorrent. Much of the speech at the protests ‘from the river to the see, Palestine will be free’ and free Palestine’ are not genocidal language. Actual genocide, like what Israel is committing actively in Gaza and slowly in the West Bank, is absolutely abhorrent and deserves protests.
What these university presidents showed that was if speech is against Muslims or trans people or some "oppressed" minority, and you don't use the approved pronouns and such, you can be accused of harassment and face disciplinary action. You can be cancelled. Remember "words are violence"? The threshold for harassment is much higher with antisemitism, and that it the hypocrisy and moral fraud that these presidents revealed of themselves.
The bigger question is does our government have a place in determining the leadership of our college campuses?
Your frame is complete bullshit. It should be titled, "Why Islamophobia goes unchallenged on college campuses."
The media were completely fine with them spewing hate for the last 10 years. What changed??
mortal mankind regrets..ABOMINABLE REVELATIONS TO THE TRICKY ORIGINS OF NON-STOP TERROR THREATS FROM OTHER DISTANT EVIL LANDS.
When you bow to the dollar it will fk you up at some point. Thanks for showing your ridiculousness and irrelevance. Govt, Media and Universities have failed the people they represent and service. The lack of likes on this video is telling. Embarrassing how you keep ignoring this.
Zionists rule America and the West.
Israel has weaponizing the term "antisemitism" which has diminished it to the point where it is now essentially meaningless.
There is such a term than ANTIHAMITISM about those who oppress palestinians!!!! Use that!
There’s antisemitism coming from both the right and the left. The New York Times needs to get its head out of the sand and acknowledge the left’s contribution.
Then there is the unqualified diversity hire president at Harvard.
It took less than 2 minutes to hear the first LIE! So I am leaving. 158 likes on a video 1 day old… Hilarious and embarrassing for nyt.
For me Fighting Words & Inciting Violence Are Not Part of Free Speech!!!!! Especially Calls for Genocide!!!!!
NYT is a joke! You have no logics nor value.
I am so sick of people on the left saying: "They're right about all this, but they're vaguely related to Trump so it doesn't matter."
It is now time to consider both the purpose and value of education in America?
Gideon Levy , an Israeli citizen , talks about the way Israelis treat Palestinians in the westbank https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EtNFXL_ykg
The few cases of outright antisemitism should be punished, but we have to accept that Israel is now heavily unpopular with college students for being responsible for another high tech slaughter of civilians, not simple antisemitism. These are liberal college students, theyve spent a lifetime seeing the consequences of these wars.
Love to see how Long Gay would put up with cross burnings. It's just absolute, evil hypocrisy of the highest order. She needs to resign.

Due Diligence: US, UK and European Universities are accepting funding from the same sources that fund terror groups.
Doesn’t that make these institutions guilty by association?
Qatar has been handing out suitcases of money to quite a few politicians and institutions in Europe and the USA. Spreading Qatari cash to Hamas and other terror organizations at the same time. Greed is truly a Universal Language.
THERE'S IS NO COLLIDE JEWS DON'T DICTATE SPEECH
Republicans are not allowed to point their fingers at instances of Anti-Semitism because, after all, they are Republicans.
Those comment about Roger Waters are complete BS
This episode spent all of 10 seconds talking about the antisemitism on college campuses before pulling a fast one and trying to spin it about right wing antisemitism and Republicans.
Dear NYT, US JEWS ARE TERRIFIED OF COLLEGE CAMPUS' AS MUCH AS NEONAZIs. BELIEVE US, ITS REAL!
I honestly can't think of a legitimate academic context for calling for genocide.
lets say stefanik had ulterior motives. does that make the university presidents right? stop making excuses and recognize you liberals have created a generation of elite non-thinkers.
I'm sympathetic to these university presidents, based on the apparent chain of events: they were grilled repetitively for some time about policies and procedures. Then a congress-critter dropped in a general question, and these college presidents, perhaps out of fatigue/boredom, didn't switch contexts quickly enough, resulting in kind of a legal argument about administrative procedures to a question where a simple yes/no response (calls to genocide are not appropriate) was the correct response. As a personal (and non-controversial) example, I once took a group of friends visiting Yosemite Valley rock climbing, and spent some time describing the use of device called a "grigri". We went out for dinner that evening and, due to the repetition, I ended up ordering a glass of "pinot grigri" instead of the intended "pinot grigio" (followed by me holding my head, at least figuratively).
Yet another thoughtful conversation. Thanks folks.
Great podcast and the theatrics we’ve seen is what the woke right wanted. Elise Stefanik fighting for minority groups is hilarious.
26:17 does the US have an inciting hate law?
