For a second, imagine that black students at Columbia were taunted with chants of "Go back to Africa."
Or imagine that a gay student at Yale was surrounded by homophobic protesters and hit in the eye with a flagpole.
Or imagine if a campus imam told Muslim students that they ought to head home for Ramadan because campus public safety could not guarantee their security.
There would be relentless fury from our media and condemnation from our politicians.
Just remember the righteous—and rightful—outrage over the white supremacist “Unite the Right” march in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, where neo-Nazis chanted “The Jews will not replace us.”
This weekend at Columbia and Yale, student demonstrators did all of the above—only it was directed at Jews. They told Columbia students to “go back to Poland.” A Jewish woman at Yale was assaulted with a Palestinian flag. And an Orthodox rabbi at Columbia told students to go home for their safety.
What will the response be?

In the next ten years, debt to GDP is expected to surge to record highs and hit $54 trillion, per the CBO.
Taxes won't and can't address this.
Only meaningful, full reform will.
Given Congress's track record, it means we are headed for fiscal disaster.

(5/5) But in their independent elections, Gazans voted in Hamas—whose charter openly calls for the destruction of the State of Israel and the creation of an Islamic state in its place—as the ruling party.
Hence, the “Two State Solution” is a daunting challenge.
(4/5) In 2005, Israel gave them an independent state in Gaza and Israel herself forcibly removed every last Jew from what was then a coastal territory. This was called "land for peace."
(3/5) In the 1993 Oslo Accords and at the 2000 Camp David Summit, Israel offered the Arabs an independent state. Once again, they refused and chose to go to war against the Jews in the First and Second Intifada respectively.
(2/5) In 1947, the British offered the Arabs more than half of the land of Israel as an independent state, but they flatly refused and chose rather to go to war with the Jews. Thankfully they failed.
(5/5) To the “extraordinarily few” followers who have joined me on this X journey thus far, I say this: LFG! Let us embark on this new chapter together, armed with truth and compassion.
(4/5) I am no expert, and my fact-checking resources are limited. However, I pledge to do my due diligence and apologize for any errors I may make. I will strive to ensure that truth and clarity prevail.
(3/5) My transformation is a direct response to the rising tide of misinformation and hatred online sometimes amplified by people we know and trust. My focus will be on shining a light on the positivity of Israel, the Jewish people, and the growing concerns around antisemitism.
(2/5) My voice will return, but it will not stand alone. While I will share my own thoughts and perspectives, I will also amplify the voices of others, particularly those who articulate my views and feelings with greater clarity and passion than I can.
(1/5) My silence has become a burden, a weight pressing down on my conscience. For too long, I have remained quiet on social media, but the tide has shifted, and I can no longer stay silent. My absence cannot be my legacy, nor can it be my crime.
This is the story of one desperate mother whose children were taken from their home by terrorists.
There are untold numbers of other mothers and fathers—and children and grandchildren, and brothers and sisters—like her right now in Israel.
