On Thursday, college presidents again found themselves being grilled by Congress about disruptive protests and rising anti-Semitism on campus. Among them was Northwestern University’s Michael Schill. Charles Asher Small, drawing on extensive research he has done into the subject, takes a closer look at what has gone wrong at that particular institution:

There is no doubt that the anti-Semitism on our campuses must be stamped out. To stem its spread, it is not enough just to tackle the Jew hatred on display at anti-Israel and anti-American campus protests. If we want to extinguish the hate, we must recognize that anti-Semitism has been fueled by Qatari and Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated money and anti-democratic, anti-American forces.

In 2008, Northwestern University established a campus in Education City, Doha, Qatar, with approximately 500 students graduating from Northwestern University in Qatar to date. The tiny but highly influential petrostate with fewer than 350,000 citizens, has spent tens of billions of dollars on United States campuses based in Education City, of which a considerable amount has gone unreported and unregulated to the U.S. Department of Education (DOE). According to the DOE, Northwestern University has received almost $582 million in Qatari gifts and contracts since its establishment in Education City.

Qatar is the patron of Hamas, funds numerous terrorist groups, and, through its state-run Al Jazeera media company, is the world’s leading disseminator of anti-Semitism.

With the IDF engaged in ground maneuvers in both northern and southern Gaza, and a plan about to go into effect next week that would separate more than 100,000 civilians from Hamas’s control, an end to the war may at last be in sight. Yet there seems to be no agreement within Israel, or without, about what should become of the territory. Efraim Inbar assesses the various proposals, from Donald Trump’s plan to remove the population entirely, to the Israeli far-right’s desire to settle the Strip with Jews, to the internationally supported proposal to place Gaza under the control of the Palestinian Authority (PA)—and exposes the fatal flaws of each. He therefore tries to reframe the problem:

[M]any Arab states have failed to establish a monopoly on the use of force within their borders. Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, and Sudan all suffer from civil wars or armed militias that do not obey the central government.

Perhaps Israel needs to get used to the idea that in the absence of an entity willing to take Gaza under its wing, chaos will prevail there. This is less terrible than people may think. Chaos would allow Israel to establish buffer zones along the Gaza border without interference. Any entity controlling Gaza would oppose such measures and would resist necessary Israeli measures to reduce terrorism. Chaos may also encourage emigration.

Israel is doomed to live with bad neighbors for the foreseeable future. There is no way to ensure zero terrorism. Israel should avoid adopting a policy of containment and should constantly “mow the grass” to minimize the chances of a major threat emerging across the border. Periodic conflicts may be necessary. If the Jews want a state in their homeland, they need to internalize that Israel will have to live by the sword for many more years.
