New evidence suggests that youth social inequality and political participation are not causally linked. Genetic + environmental factors associated with political interest, IQ, and openness confound the association. Check out @Yannis_Theo and my OA paper: https://t.co/FFivri7XH1

We have Zionists in the Camp!
Start to push them out of the camp!
One step forward!
One step forward!
Another step forward!
Another step forward!

"Fighting Zionism" is akin to "battling suffragettes", as Zionism achieved its goal 3 generations ago. What they are actually calling for is a vast genocide and/or ethnic cleansing against Jews. Happily, these kids can only ethnically cleanse their camp of Zionists.

They are instead strengthening Israel, as while 48% of Jews now live in Israel, nearly 30% (2.3m) of Diaspora Jews live within 30 miles of the quad at Columbia. They and their ancestors worked hard to be accepted in the USA, and contributed vastly, but will get pushed out, step by step, by these bored, goosestepping trust fund zombies.

Crazy scene tonight at Columbia University: Jewish students came to the campus - and then this happened. The undergrad who filmed it told me: “We didn’t say a word. My friend had a Jewish star necklace. All of the sudden we’re surrounded, they’ve been circling us, threatening us”

For those of you who are into prediction, considering joining this fascinating challenge run by my colleague @Gert_Stulp_or_G !

You will be asked to predict who will have a child in the next three years based on both panel survey data and administrative data.

On Christmas Eve, the @nytimes published an op-ed by a senior member of Hamas, Yahya Sarraj.

I guess the head of the Taliban wasn't available.

Prof at hometown community college gets a call on Xmas from “the dean of Yale” who says “I read your thesis, I think it could be a bestseller. You have to decide between Yale and marrying the hometown barista guy”

🧵Critical Thread. Close review of Gaza casualty figures reported by UN OCHA based on daily Hamas “Ministry of Health” numbers proves they are FALSIFIED. Women & children are grossly inflated. This is easily proven but media ignores. See detailed expose below: 1/

Another Doctor we need to talk about.

This time Dr Adnan Al-Borsh, who was Chief of Ortho at Shifa.

He is another one our media love to quote. Just yesterday his tears were described in the @guardian 1/8

I’ve been a Jewish activist for the better part of the last fifteen years. I started because I simply couldn’t stay silent. I knew that it’s not that people simply “didn’t get” Israel. I knew that there was something else, something deeper. A hidden force which was coordinating this slander against the world’s only Jewish state. And then I met @JSchanzer and was exposed to his work with @FDD and I was shocked.

Years ago, Jonathan had uncovered that this vitriol on campuses is a network of professionally coordinated heavily funded campaign by nefarious forces to delegitimize the state of Israel. To prepare the public opinion for the right moment take her down by all means necessary. I quoted Jonathan’s work in my book and have been speaking about this issue all over the country and the world for years, waiting for the right moment when the people will be ready to listen. Yesterday that moment had come.

I was honored to be invited to testify in front of the @WaysandMeansGOP on Capitol Hill about the connection between campus antisemitism and terrorism financing. The members were engaged and listened to us thoroughly for the four hours of the testimony. We have requested that the FBI and IRS will open an investigation into the organizations behind all this campus hate, specifically SJP and AMP. We have requested that SJP to be kicked off of campuses. We are requesting that people take a pause, before reciting a terrorist group’s talking point.

So now the real work begins.

אתמול היה לי הכבוד לתת עדות מול הקונגרס בנושא הקשר בין אנטישמיות בקמפוסים ומימון טרור. אנחנו יודעים מי מאחורי השנאה הזאת ולא נעצור עד שננצח אותם. ישראל חזקה גם בשטח גם מול חמאס וגם בחזית ההסברה.

Ja, klar, Gaza blutet. Es sterben unschuldige Menschen. Kinder. Frauen. Alte. Männer. Alle. Es sterben Menschen, die mit Krieg und Gewalt und Politik nichts am Hut haben.

Dieses Sterben könnte aufhören, wenn...
