Fighting anti-Jewish bigotry isn’t that hard.

Columbia University student Jessie Brenner speaks to members of the media during a news conference calling for the university's administration to support students facing antisemitism, in New York on Monday. There is no shortage of appalling moral cowardice or intellectual confusion about antisemitism and Israel on college campuses. Some college presidents have refused to take an unequivocal stance condemning the slaughter of Israeli civilians on Oct. 7.

It is one thing to champion the rights of Palestinians and to vociferously express concern for the safety of civilians, particularly children, in Gaza, as many members of this alumni group have always done and will continue to do. It is quite another to trade in the crude language of “resistance” to justify the grotesque bullying and intimidation of Jewish students on campus and to exalt ideologies of violence and brutality that run counter to the idea of democracy itself.

How can anyone celebrate the killing of 260 people attending a music festival, or the brutal massacre of more than 100 people in a kibbutz, or the pulling of people from their houses to take as hostages? If this happened to people who were not Jews would there be such celebrations?
