In the wake of the worst attack against the Jews since the Holocaust, the international community has wasted no time in condemning the world’s only Jewish state. In January, South Africa brought a case before the United Nations’ International Court of Justice in The Hague accusing Israel of genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza. The Court’s ruling does not call for a ceasefire, but it does renew false claims about Israel’s actions in the war.

Fiscal responsibility has long been a rallying cry of the right. Unsurprisingly, this message is still falling on deaf ears—despite dire news making it more prevalent. In August, the United States’ credit rating was by Fitch. More recently, Moody’s the federal government’s credit outlook to “negative.” After decades of apathy toward the ever-expanding national debt, America is finally paying the price.

If there was any lingering doubt that universities suffer from an antisemitism problem, how they have responded to Hamas’s latest round of violence against Israel should dispel it. The most recent attacks mark the darkest time for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. More Jews died on October 7 than any single day since 1945. Whenever Israel is under attack, antisemitism surges around the world. Nowhere is this trend more clear than on college campuses.
