** Will Progressives confront left-wing antisemitism?

The torrent of antisemitism let loose by student protests against the war in Gaza is a national embarrassment, but it reflects especially badly on leaders of America’s elite colleges and the intersectional left.
Two Ivy League presidents, University of Pennsylvania’s ([link removed]) Liz Magill and Harvard’s ([link removed]) Claudine Gay, resigned from their jobs after a December congressional hearing during which they couldn’t give a straight answer when asked whether advocating genocide of Jews violates their university’s code of conduct.
Alas, this salutary rebuke to moral cowardice looks more like the exception than the rule. The Anti-Defamation League ([link removed]) reports an upsurge ([link removed]) in campus assaults and harassment targeting Jews. A plurality of Jewish college students say they don’t feel physically safe on campus.
Students at Massachusetts Institute of Technology ([link removed]) and Harvard ([link removed]) have filed legal complaints alleging that school leaders have failed to protect Jewish students, professors and centers from hostile anti-Israel protesters.
As many college administrators wilt before this latest affront to the liberal values they should be defending, the campaign to villainize Israel is seeping down to high schools and even middle schools.
