Changing Campus Leaders. Changing the Future.

For too many Jewish students in England, going to school means facing hostility because of who they are.

A major independent review led by Sir David Bell found that nearly three in five Jewish pupils aged 16-19 surveyed had experienced or witnessed antisemitism. Among students surveyed, fewer than half felt antisemitism would be addressed if they reported it.

That lack of confidence is a serious warning sign. When young people believe reporting antisemitism will achieve nothing, hatred is allowed to go unchallenged and victims are left feeling they have nowhere to turn.

The review issued 27 recommendations to improve how schools prevent, identify, and respond to antisemitism. The UK government has accepted all 27.

Jewish students deserve to go to school without fear of harassment or discrimination—and to know that when they speak up, the adults responsible for their safety will take them seriously.

Antisemitism should never be normalized in the classroom, and reporting it should never feel pointless.

Harvard Law student Mayan Schoen used the one minute allotted to her at the Cambridge City Council to challenge a proposed anti-Israel BDS resolution.

Schoen urged council members to reject the resolution, raising concerns about a movement that discriminatorily targets Israel through boycotts, divestment, and sanctions.

When institutions consider policies targeting Israel, they must examine the implications for Jewish residents and BDS’ roots in discrimination based on identity.

Civil rights protections must apply equally to all people, including Jewish people. City councils, school districts, and universities must ensure that efforts to address political disputes never become a vehicle for discrimination against Jewish communities.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog was welcomed to Budapest by Hungary’s new Prime Minister, Magyar Péter, as both leaders expressed their commitment to strengthening bilateral ties.

The two leaders discussed expanding cooperation across historical, cultural, economic, and defense relations. Prime Minister Magyar also accepted President Herzog’s invitation to visit Israel.

Continued dialogue and cooperation between Israel and Hungary offer opportunities to strengthen diplomatic ties and build a foundation for shared security and prosperity. 🇮🇱🇭🇺

A major new report has exposed the scale of antisemitism in England’s schools and colleges—and the findings are deeply concerning.

According to the independent review led by Sir David Bell, one in five students surveyed said they had witnessed antisemitism, while nearly three in five Jewish pupils aged 16-19 had experienced or witnessed it.

Even more troubling, fewer than half of students surveyed believed antisemitism would actually be addressed if they reported it.

The review makes 27 recommendations, including dedicated antisemitism training for educators, stronger safeguarding and reporting procedures, and better resources to help schools recognize and confront anti-Jewish hatred. The UK government has accepted all 27.

No Jewish student should have to endure antisemitism at school, or believe that speaking up will make no difference.

Schools must be places where Jewish students are protected, antisemitism is recognized for what it is, and reports of hatred are taken seriously.

What connects the violent riots in France with anti-Israel protests on American campuses?

In her Wall Street Journal Free Expression commentary, Mary Julia Koch argues that far-left groups have exploited both movements to advance a broader political agenda.

When political movements normalize intimidation, excuse violence, and turn public grievances into tools for radical agendas, the consequences reach far beyond the original cause.

Those who use their right to protest to further violent ideologies, legitimize violence, and undermine democratic society must be condemned.

A new report by IMPACT-se finds that Syria’s post-Assad school curriculum continues to teach antisemitic stereotypes while glorifying jihad and martyrdom.

After analyzing 130 textbooks used across grades 1–12, researchers found that Syria’s curriculum under Ahmed al-Sharaa has shifted away from Assad-era pan-Arab nationalism toward a more Islamist worldview.

Among the examples: a Grade 6 lesson teaches students that “treason and backstabbing are among the traits of the Jews.” The report also finds that Jewish history in Syria is absent, while violence and martyrdom are increasingly framed in religious terms.

Changing governments means little if the next generation is still being taught hatred.

Syria has an opportunity to build a different future, one in which children are educated for coexistence rather than raised on antisemitic stereotypes and the glorification of violence.

Peace in the Middle East must begin in the classroom.

Windows were smashed and the messages “DROP ELBIT” and “PAL ACTION” were spray-painted on a Capital One branch on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Elbit Systems is a prominent Israeli defense company, and both messages imply the perpetrators’ hatred toward Israel.

NYC Council Speaker Julie Menin says the NYPD is now investigating the vandalism as a hate crime, noting that the community is deeply concerned and upset about the incident.

This isn’t ‘political activism,’ but instead intimidation and destruction. When anti-Israel rhetoric escalates into violent attacks on property it demands serious investigation and accountability.

All New Yorkers, including the Jewish ones, deserve to live in a city where threats, hate, and violence have no place.

A former UN Special Rapporteur on Torture is publicly accusing fellow UN human rights officials of failing the Israeli victims of October 7.

Dr. Alice Jill Edwards singled out UN Special Rapporteurs Francesca Albanese and Reem Alsalem, saying they “never formally documented” the atrocities she says were supported by a growing body of evidence, and failed to give sufficient weight to the firsthand testimony of released Israeli hostages describing torture and deprivation in captivity.

Edwards has documented torture and abuses against both Israelis and Palestinians. But she says the UN undermines its own credibility when its human rights mechanisms focus on one set of victims while failing to adequately recognize another.

Human rights cannot be selective.

The victims of October 7 and the hostages who endured abuse and torture deserve the same recognition, seriousness, and commitment to accountability as victims anywhere else.
