From my new column in Taki’s Magazine:

Jewish Generosity
Steve Sailer

December 13, 2023

As I’ve long pointed out, the most likely fault line where the Democrats’ imposing but fragile Coalition of the Fringes might fracture divides Jews and blacks. Two earlier black moments—the late-’60s Black Power era and the early-’90s Louis Farrakhan fad—both sputtered out when Jews became alarmed by black anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism and turned their enormous influence against black activists.

This month, we are seeing a renewed struggle between the black-infatuated wokeness that dominates the ideology of universities in the 2020s and Jewish power.

During the current Jewish donors’ strike, Asian-American college admission consultant Christopher Rim told the New York Post that you might be able to weasel your not-so-bright scion into an Ivy League college for only a $2 million pledge to its development fund, about a 90 percent discount off the going price before October 7th.

But, Rim thinks the slashed prices will be short-lived. “Once the president or the chairman of the board either is removed or resigns, I think a lot of these mega-donors will come back,” he said. “At the end of the day, the prestige of these Ivies is not going to disappear.”

Three women college presidents testified before Congress last week and were hilariously stumped by tendentious questions about whether they would punish students and faculty for purported calls for Jewish genocide, such as use of terms like “intifada” and “from the river to the sea.”

Of course, at present, Israelis are blasting hell out of Palestinians as vengeance for Hamas’ Comanche raid-like atrocities, with Israeli politicians debating how best to ethnically cleanse the Gaza Strip. Dump the Gazans on Europe, Canada, and the United States? Drive the Gazans into the desert like the Ottomans did to the Armenians in 1915?

Whichever side you back in this conflict, it’s all quite horrifying. I don’t see why American university administrations should be required to step in and end the debate on campus over the Israel-Hamas war in favor of one side or the other. Let them argue.
