“There is a real antisemitism problem in our time and the universities have become very fertile ground” for its normalization. But the actions taken [e.g arresting protesters without due process] “do not emerge from a genuine desire to keep Jews safe.”

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
