Columbia cancels its main graduation ceremony

The New Neo Posted on May 6, 2024 by neoMay 6, 2024

Another reward for the pro-Gaza crowd: A university official tells Fox News that security concerns in the wake of recent anti-Israel protests on campus was one of the main reasons in deciding to cancel the larger event. “Our Deans and … Continue reading →

Illogic on parade

The New Neo Posted on May 4, 2024 by neoMay 4, 2024

One of the particularly horrible things about the aftermath of October 7 and the Israeli reaction to it is that the Hamas/Palestinian sympathizers are both ignorant of history and don’t even attempt to make logical arguments. Or perhaps they’re not … Continue reading →

Perhaps this is why at least some young people are turning against the left: the war on fraternities

The New Neo Posted on May 4, 2024 by neoMay 4, 2024

Some young people, that is. Not nearly enough. For example, from an article in Tablet: UNC wasn’t the only school where the frat community rose to [Israel’s] defense—at Arizona State, frat boys helped the police dismantle a pro-Hamas encampment, ushering … Continue reading →

Victor Davis Hanson on the current campus unrest, and more

The New Neo Posted on May 3, 2024 by neoMay 3, 2024

Hanson is always worth listening to, and this is no exception. I’m often struck by how well he sums up a situation and adds his own unique observations. This is long, but Hanson isn’t long-winded. He has a great deal … Continue reading →

Rutgers, like Northwestern, voluntarily takes on dhimmi status

The New Neo Posted on May 3, 2024 by neoMay 3, 2024

Over thirty years ago, Allan Bloom used the phrase “dancing bears” to describe the capitulation of university professors to student threats of violence and the occupation of buildings. His original quote from The Closing of the American Mind involved the … Continue reading →

Legal Insurrection’s Equal Protection Project files a suit against Northwestern for favoring Palestinian students

The New Neo Posted on May 2, 2024 by neoMay 2, 2024

The other day I wrote about Northwestern University’s craven capitulation to its hate-filled pro-Hamas pro-Palestine anti-Israel anti-Jewish demonstrators. So I’m very much in favor of this move by the Equal Protection Project: On April 29, 2024, Northwestern University struck a … Continue reading →

Dhimmi Northwestern University pays the Jizya

The New Neo Posted on April 30, 2024 by neoApril 30, 2024

When I first saw the headlines for this story I thought they were satirical. They are not. I think Northwestern has actually succeeded in out-dhimmi-ing Columbia, which is saying something: In the face of illegal “encampments” and violence, the Northwestern … Continue reading →

“The worst are full of passionate intensity”: meet Columbia student leader Khymani James

The New Neo Posted on April 27, 2024 by neoApril 27, 2024

Lately there’s been a great deal of talk around the blogosphere about Khymani James, the student leader – if the movement can be said to have a leader – of Columbia’s anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, and anti-Enlightenment demonstrations and encampments. It makes … Continue reading →

And now it’s the president of Columbia who may be guilty of academic fraud

The New Neo Posted on April 26, 2024 by neoApril 26, 2024

Here we go again. I get a bit tired of starting posts by saying something like “It comes as no surprise … “. But indeed, it comes as no surprise that Columbia’s president Nemak “Minouche” Shafik, who recently testified in … Continue reading →

From the Bee: on Columbia’s decision to have online classes

The New Neo Posted on April 24, 2024 by neoApril 24, 2024

For quite some time, the Babylon Bee has been writing such sharp and relevant satire that it is almost painful to read. It skirts that thin line between humor and sad truth. For example: In the wake of ongoing anti-Israel … Continue reading →

The crime of walking while Jewish on campus (and some history regarding campus unrest)

The New Neo Posted on April 23, 2024 by neoApril 23, 2024

Can’t have this sort of brazen “walking while Jewish.” Might upset the violent Islamicists and their leftist fellow travelers who seem to be proliferating in the West lately: The Metropolitan Police in London face accusations that they capitulated to radical … Continue reading →
