Anti-Defamation League Fails Prominent US Colleges for Anti-Semitic Activity | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

An anti-hate group has given several prominent US colleges a failing grade for anti-Semitic activity on campus. The Anti-Defamation League reports more than 300 incidents on US college campuses during the 2021 to 2022 school year. The schools include UC Berkley Law School where an anti-Semitic bylaw was passed, as well as George Washington University, where students issued anti-Semitic flyers. Managing Director of the Coalition for Jewish Values, Rabbi Yaakov Menken, joins to discuss why the sudden uptick. He shares his reaction to what is happening in the country of Australia, where government leaders have just announced they will no longer recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. This comes as quite a departure from their previous stance. In Los Angeles, a leaked audio file revealed city council members making racist comments and slurs about Armenians, Jews, and African Americans, the city council president has since resigned. Rabbi Menken tells us more about this story. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says Democrats condemn these kinds of comments while MAGA Republicans endorse this kind of speech, especially at MAGA rallies. Rabbi Menken gives us his take on this. Also in the news, rapper Kanye West, in a recent tweet, said he wished "Death Con 3 on Jewish people." He has since apologized. The rabbi fills us in on what he makes of this statement. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
