The Writing Is on the Wall for Jewish Students
We must challenge professors and students who tacitly endorse antisemitic violence in the guise of ‘resistance’

The DEI Complex Will Never Protect Jews
The problem isn’t that the system—of affinity groups, diversity officers, microaggression policing, and more—hasn’t included Jews until now. It’s that the system itself is dangerous.
BY ARMIN ROSEN
It’s not about diversity, equity, or inclusion. It is about arrogating power to a movement that threatens not just Jews—but America itself.

→ That’s at least how much money charities connected with George Soros have pumped into a Gazan human-rights center with “deep ties to Palestinian terrorists,” according to a report by Gabe Kaminsky in the Washington Examiner. Since 2012, the Soros-backed Open Society Institute and the Foundation to Promote Open Society have funded the Gaza-based Al Mezan Center for Human Rights. In addition to being a “well-funded operation” that lobbies the United Nations to prosecute Israeli officials for “war crimes” at the International Criminal Court, however, Al Mezan appears to be deeply connected with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a “Marxist-Leninist” U.S.-designated terror group that has cooperated with Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in attacks on Israelis. Al Mezan’s chairman, for instance, met with the leader of the PFLP in Cairo in 2015 and referred to him as “comrade,” posted social media photos of himself attending memorial services for PFLP leaders, and has hosted PFLP officials through his role as a trustee of Gaza’s Al-Aqsa University. Al Mezan’s board members include one former PFLP member and one former director of the Hamas-controlled Palestinian Legislative Council, who has been referred to as a “Hamas leader” in Arabic-language media. Al Mezan has also hosted several events featuring leaders from the PFLP, Hamas, and PIJ.
