Columbia Switches To Online Classes So Jewish Students Can Participate From The Attics Where They Are Hiding

If the pro-Hamas types want to undermine the education of Jewish students in America, it is imperative to halt this abuse. Certainly a lot more effort from political and educational leaders is necessary to enable a return to decency.

However my point is that this is no longer the 1930’s where the only academic games in town are in North America and Europe. There are high quality international level Universities outside the West where students can do their studies or work on their doctorates. There are the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) in India, the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil, some in China and elsewhere that are top tier.

The longer term point is that Jewish scholarship in the West has lead to 129 Nobel Prizes, plus technological leadership in many fields. Ill treatment in Western countries does not have to be tolerated. Sending excellent Jewish scholars to the developing world can accelerate the shift in technological power to nations and peoples who might be more appreciative. And maybe the handful can turn into something larger where these countries will be safer places for communities that should avoid a West that is about to self destruct. As Jews are the canary in the coal mines, maybe other communities should also think about where to put down roots.
