Colleges’ Inexcusable Cowardice on Hamas

Summary
  • AEI expert Samuel J. Abrams argues that the silence or delayed response of college administrations in the face of Hamas's attacks is a moral failure and indicative of a broader issue of anti-Semitism on campuses.
  • Abrams writes that colleges and universities should swiftly condemn actions taken by Hamas against innocent Israelis, and administrators and presidents who fail to confront these issues should step down.
