Schools Out, Antisemitism In: Exposing Year-Round Jew-Hatred on Campus

Why has antisemitism become normalized in American universities? 

In this powerful episode of Do You Ever Wonder, host Michael Haltman sits down with Andrew Pessin—Philosophy professor at Connecticut College, author of Israel Breathes, World Condemns, Campus Bureau Editor at The Algemeiner, and Fox News contributor—to expose the festering crisis of rising campus antisemitism.

We start with Andrew’s raw, unfiltered reactions to words and phrases shaping today’s toxic environment: 

• Useful Idiots, 
• Normalization, 
• Political Rhetoric, 
• Ivy League, 
• Anti-Zionism vs. Antisemitism, 
• Anarchists, 
• Islamists,
• Foreign Money

Together, we dig deep into:

• How antisemitism has become socially acceptable on college campuses
• The failure of university administrators to protect Jewish students
• The impact of federal scrutiny and whether it drives real change
• The lived experiences of Jewish students facing intimidation and hate
• Why fields like Middle East Studies and Gender Studies are breeding grounds for anti-Zionist narratives
• The daily campus antisemitism roundup and under-reported incidents the media ignores
• The political implications of leaders like Zohran Mamdani and why Jewish voters sometimes support anti-Israel candidates
• Where Andrew still finds hope, and what must change to protect Jewish communities
  
  If you care about combating antisemitism, defending academic freedom, and understanding why Jew-hatred is resurging in higher education (and elsewhere in society), this conversation is essential listening.
