When the American right brings up its phony concern for antisemitism, it is always to deploy it as a weapon against some other target. In this case, it is being used to delegitimize any advocacy for Palestinian rights, further anti-Muslim bigotry, and undermine the institution of higher education. So why are conservatives so determined to destroy American higher education as we know it, when our universities are the best in the world by any measure anyone has devised, and are the engine of so much of what makes America actually great?
