After recent protests at the school’s Barnard College, Shai Davidai told Fox News Digital the faculty has created a monster. “This is the consequence of 20 years of indoctrination,” Davidai told Fox News Digital, “We have indoctrinated students and they are not the problem. The problem has always been the professors who have been indoctrinating them.”

PROBLEMATIC POSTING: New York Gov. Kathy Hochul ordered City University of New York (CUNY) to spike a “Palestinian Studies” professorship posting that would have allegedly peddled antisemitic and anti-Israel discourse with topics like “apartheid,” “settler colonialism,” “genocide” and more. The governor ordered the school to conduct a thorough review of the position to ensure that antisemitic theories are not promoted.

DEAL WITH DEVILS: White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended U.S. efforts to negotiate with Hamas to release American hostages during a briefing on Wednesday. There are currently five hostages with U.S. citizenship in Gaza, though most are feared dead. Leavitt said Israel was “consulted on this matter,” and that President Donald Trump believes in putting forth “good faith effort[s] to do what’s right for the American people.”

GUEST EDITORIAL: Retired FBI agent David Zimmerman reminds readers that 45 Americans were kidnapped and 12 murdered by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023. Zimmerman, an active-duty FBI agent stationed in Israel from 2020 to 2024, writes that he is “shocked that most Americans do not realize the extent of the suffering our own citizens endured and continue to endure at the hands of Hamas.”

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “Hate doesn’t go away on its own. Extremism doesn’t go away on its own. If you don’t deal with it, it stays around.” Columbia associate professor Shai Davidai.
