Left-Wing Antisemitism Rears Its Ugly Head—and Look Who’s Fueling It |
Ugliness: In the wake of the horrific attacks by Hamas terrorists against Israeli civilians, Americans bore witness to just how antisemitic many on the Left have become, particularly on college campuses. You will be shocked to learn where they are getting their support.
- Two years ago, Heritage research showed that antisemitism on college campuses is fueled by legions of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) staff that universities have hired. Read about those findings here.
- Earlier this year, Heritage released a report on how the federal government is using your tax dollars to fund antisemitism, both at the UN and at universities. Read about that here.
- In an op-ed published Friday, Mike Gonzalez and Jay Greene write that when "elite institutions (years ago) began hiring unrepentant terrorists and Marxists as their professors…they had to know where this would lead.” Read that piece here.
- And the next time your alma mater comes asking for money, Adam Novak advises that you "call the DEI office and ask about the status of pro-Hamas activism on campus" before writing a check. Read more here.

Breaking the bank: Spending bills threaten to balloon the deficit, and President Biden wants to fast-track billions more.
- “Rank-and-file legislators in both parties,” write Heritage Senior Policy Analyst David Ditch and Senior Research Fellow Rachel Greszler, “should recognize that the truly extreme policy position—especially in today’s changed circumstances—is routine support for deficit spending.”

Crime beat: “Criminal justice reform is not rocket science,” Charles “Cully” Stimson, deputy director of the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, told the House Oversight Committee last week. Stimson laid out five reasons why crime rates in Washington, D.C., are skyrocketing.
