Universities nationwide have not just failed Jewish students; they have failed all students. I'm praying that President Trump will make sure that he pulls any federal funding to any of these antisemitic institutions. I wish Prof Yudelman hadn't said that he slipped; he had been provoked day in and day out. He was going to a rally to support Jews and others who recognized that on October 7th, the world watched as Jews were slaughtered, raped, tortured, and burned alive--not just watched but found a way to blame Israel after seeing evidence on Hamas' own GoPros. He certainly does not need to apologize to the "Muslim woman" who was taunting him and cursing at him to begin with. Is that what Muslims stand for? I hope not.

Thank G-d that he is now at UATX and will be met with respect. Punching down? Seriously? Absurd. You did not fail, and you did not swing and miss. Pushback is essential when you are told every day of your life that you are less than human because you are Jewish. Never lose the desire to push back against injustice. Push back against immoral and hypocritical Ivy League Presidents; push back against silent Hollywood celebrities who all but abandoned the Jewish cry for help; push back against the Biden Administration when it tried to tie Israel's hands.

Your anger is justified, and your reaction to a mob of masked agitators who have joined forces to distort the reality of victimhood should be honored.

If this is the most that happens when Prof. Yudelman “loses his temper”, I think we’re fine. When someone is, as he says, provoked day in and day out by lies and people getting in your face, a verbal shove is a mercy.
