Another is Newsom’s unwillingness—to the point of absurdity—to own any of those policy mistakes.

    Islamic Antisemitism And Its Leftist Twin

    Ever since Hamas’ savage pogrom against Israeli civilians, protests against Israel have featured blatant antisemitism and eliminationist rhetoric like “from the river to the sea” or “death to Jews,” typically heard from fringe cranks rather than students at prestigious American universities.
