Join the National Association of Scholars on Monday, September 15, at 2:15 p.m. ET for what promises to be a lively discussion on anti-Semitism, violence, and “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) in higher education. This webinar is hosted by NAS in anticipation of the upcoming NAS DEI Anti-Semitism Study.
It will explore the possibility that these forces are related and that perhaps DEI has a role in propagating anti-Semitic violence due to the violent rhetoric it encourages, rhetoric that is often featured at pro-Palestinian rallies. Members of the Jewish community on campus have experienced anti-Semitic violence, and it is possible that this has been encouraged through the oppressor/oppressed narrative that DEI fosters. We anticipate that the discussion will be broad and touch on the many areas of campus life potentially influenced by DEI, and how these areas also might be affected by anti-Semitic violence.
Director of Higher Education and Government Affairs at the Chicago Jewish Alliance, Michael Kaminsky, will be discussing his experience with anti-Semitic violence at DePaul University in Chicago. Other experts from higher education around the country will also weigh in with their own perspectives. The scholars, who include Dr. Craig Klugman, Bioethicist and Medical Anthropologist at DePaul University; Dr. Rona Kaufman, Associate Professor of Law at Duquesne University and developer of the Israel Explainer Video Series; and Yehudit Barsky, ISGAP Senior Research Fellow and former leader of the Division of Middle East and International Terrorism at the American Jewish Committee, come from diverse fields, all with different foci on anti-Semitism, and all alumni of the ISGAP-Oxford Institute on Anti-Semitism.
And I will be moderating the discussion.

And now Charlie Kirk has been murdered for standing up against the violent, DEI neo-Stalinist campus left.
I’m going to propose a controversial thesis: It isn’t *just* antisemitism as Christians are being attacked too. There’s been numerous shootings in Christian churches, including a few stopped by church security.
Is it a war on God — and I don’t mean in terms of theology and demonic possession as much as an attack on the JudeoChristian tradition and social values.
