American universities have long been viewed as places of learning, debate, and intellectual formation. For much of the nation’s history, higher education was understood as a training ground for future leaders—men and women shaped not only by technical knowledge but by habits of reasoned argument, civic responsibility, and respect for pluralism. Over the last decade,…
Critical Issues Dividing the Party and the Nation: Israel Foreign Policy
American foreign policy toward Israel is not an abstract, distant concern reserved for diplomats and academics. It is a concrete issue that touches U.S. national security, economic stability, energy markets, counterterrorism, constitutional governance, and the moral credibility of American leadership abroad. For voters attempting to weigh party platforms seriously, Israel functions as a kind of…
Media Hall of Shame Series: Al Jazeera
Al Jazeera presents itself to the world as a global beacon of journalism—an independent voice from the Arab world, offering a fresh, critical perspective on Western imperialism, global inequality, and injustice. With its slick design, diverse correspondents, and sharp critiques of the West, it has gained a loyal audience among college students, anti-imperialists, and progressives…
Enemies in the Newsroom: How Media Bias Shapes Anti-Israel Narratives
In the modern information age, the way a story is told can be as influential as the facts themselves. This is especially true when it comes to international affairs, where few issues ignite as much controversy—or as much journalistic bias—as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. For decades, the mainstream media has portrayed Israel in ways that often…
Book Review: The Devil and Karl Marx by Paul Kengor

Why are the Progressives anti-Semitic?
Anti-Semitism has found surprising roots in the modern left, particularly among the Progressive (woke, Neo-Marxist) crowd. In today’s universities, activism, and even within political discourse, anti-Semitism has resurfaced, often masked under the guise of anti-imperialism, social justice, or anti-Zionism. To understand how this evolved, it is essential to trace the ideological development from Karl Marx,…
Anti-Semitism – The War Against the Jews
The story of the Jewish people begins not in Europe or Russia, but in the dusty hills of Canaan—today’s Israel and Palestinian territories—where a man named Abram was called by the Lord to leave Ur and follow Him to a promised land. God’s covenant with Abraham (Genesis 12, 15, and 17) forms the backbone of…
Wokeness, Islam, anti-Semitism and the Israel-Gaza war
It surprised me that Cultural Marxists (the woke) allied with pro-Gaza Muslims following the massacre of Israelis on October 7, 2023. The anti-Semitic nature of Cultural Marxism evaded my worldview radar. I discovered there is a deep-seated anti-Semitism within the Cultural Marxist community. Their anti-Semitism manifested itself through anti-Semitic activism on American campuses. Harassment of…
