‘Days of Hate’ and ‘Days of Rage’ are not so different

Antisemitism must be fought tooth and nail, regardless of where it comes from on the political spectrum.

They attack Jews online like they do in the streets

Anti-Semitism on the college campus is evolving

Anti-Zionist students will intensify intimidation towards their peers by not simply threatening to boycott pro-Israel students, but “undecided” ones, too. They’ll offer an ultimatum: join us or face social ostracization.
