Amid the Trump administration's attack on universities, Harvard has emerged as a particular target. Early on, the administration put $2.2 billion in research money on hold and shortly thereafter blocked all future funding while demanding intrusive control over Harvard's hiring and admissions. Unlike many of its peer institutions, Harvard fought back, filing and ultimately winning a lawsuit that restored the cut funds.

Ye turned to print for his latest apology for past antisemitic remarks and merchandise, linking the actions to a past 2002 injury. The popular artist formerly known as Kanye West took out a full-page ad in The Wall Street Journal's section A - a page that typically goes for a five-figure sum. The Monday ad - one of the artist's longest at over 700 words - addressed 'Those I've Hurt'.

This month, a judge ordered the University of Pennsylvania to justify its refusal to collect and disclose the names and personal contact information of Jewish faculty, staff and students to the federal government. Late last year, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) sued Penn to force compliance with this chilling demand, made in the name of fighting antisemitism. Jewish and non-Jewish community members at Penn and beyond have united to support the university's resistance to compiling and releasing data about members of campus Jewish organizations,

His words were unequivocal: Peace for Israel means security, and we must stand with all of our might to protect its right to exist, its territorial integrity. He went on to describe Israel as one of the great outposts of democracy in the world. But King's support for Israel was not political posturing. It flowed directly from his understanding of oppression and liberation. He recognized what it meant for a people to be denied sovereignty, safety, and dignity.

Vice Mayor Cesar Zepeda and Councilmember Jamelia Brown plan to bring forward a second censure resolution that would admonish Martinez after he reshared posts to his LinkedIn account that contained conspiracy theories about a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Australia's Bondi Beach. If approved, Martinez also would be required to undertake meaningful engagement with the city's Jewish community, including religious figures, and participate in at least 16 hours of antisemitism training.

Can I start by thanking you for raising this case, because it is very serious, very concerning, and all members of parliament should be able to visit anywhere in their constituency, schools or other places without any fear of antisemitism. We do take this seriously. We are providing more funding for security and support we're putting in across the country, and we will be holding to account those who prevented this visit to this school.

Slate writer Molly Olmstead noted that that campaign, entitled "Stand With Our Brave ICE Hero," was started by an avowed white supremacist who goes by Tom Hennessey. He has asked if Good was a "negrophile," used the #DeportThemAll and "TheyAllMustGo" in his crowdfunding campaign, and initially said that Good's slaying was "a direct result of anti-American traitors like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (who is Jewish) fanning the flames of resistance" before he removed mention of Frey's Judaism.

A former Navy SEAL with neo-Nazi beliefs faces up to 10 years in prison after he was convicted of transporting fireworks across state lines with the intent to injure law enforcement at a "No Kings" protest in San Diego, authorities said. FBI agents found messages on Gregory Vandenberg's phone indicating he was upset with President Trump because he believed the U.S. government is controlled by Israel and the Jewish people, according to the Department of Justice.

That rings hollow considering Martinez's long history of taking actions that have also stoked fear in the Jewish community. At a conference in August, Martinez wore a hat with the letters DDTTIDF, an acronym calling for Death, death to the IDF. He spoke of an affinity for Hamas, a U.S. designated terrorist organization, whose charter calls for the deaths of all Jews worldwide.

Months before a San Jose high school attracted national attention when an image of students forming a human swastika on a football field went viral, a Jewish student in the Santa Cruz Mountains was targeted in a way that left no ambiguity, according to state records: A classmate allegedly taped a Nazi flag to the student's back without his knowledge, snapped a photo and made a hand puppet that resembled Adolf Hitler. San Lorenzo Valley Unified School District investigated the incident and closed the case.
