Opinion: Follow the money to find the source of antisemitism on America’s campuses

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:28:37 GMT

Hostility toward Israel on many college campuses has bled over to unchecked antisemitism and a plurality of Jewish students report that they don’t feel physically or emotionally safe. The roots of this hatred grew from anti-Zionism, the boycott divestiture and sanctions movement, and foreign money planted at universities across America.Since the beginning of this school year alone, a staggering 73% of Jewish college students surveyed by the ADL Center for Antisemitism Research, Hillel International and College Pulse, have experienced or witnessed antisemitism.Things have gotten so bad that Jewish students are hiding their faith for self-protection. Since Oct. 7, the percentage of Jewish students who said they feel comfortable with others on campus knowing they are Jewish dropped by half. Imagine being afraid to walk through campus, attend classes, wear kippot, or live in a Jewish fraternity or sorority. Today’s reality is unacceptable.Of the non-Jewish students erroneously assumed t...

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:28:37 GMT

SAN DIEGO (KSWB) — There has seemingly been dozens of orca sightings in the waters off the Southern California coast over the past few weeks. Whale watching groups from San Diego to Los Angeles — and in at least one instance as far north as Oxnard — started spotting the creatures in early December, as they swim and hunt dolphins around their boats.It has thrilled onlookers and whale watching operators alike who are witnessing a rare surge in activity for a species that had not been spotted in Southern California waters with this frequency for about two years.So, why have they suddenly started spending so much time off the coast of Southern California? Whale experts say it is hard to know exactly. ‘Killer whale madness’ continues off Southern California coast There are at least three different types of killer whales that are known to swim through California's waters: transient, offshore and resident whales.

Opinion: PUC’s narrow approach endangers universal broadband success

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:28:37 GMT

The California Public Utilities Commission is finalizing a proposal to secure $1.86 billion in federal funds allocated to California through a program aiming to close the digital divide and bring reliable high-speed broadband to every unserved and underserved location in the nation.However, the CPUC’s current plan will not provide “internet for all” in California. At best, the plan will only result in internet for some.With the available state and federal funds described as a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity, achieving this goal is vital. In California alone, at least 461,481 locations — mostly families — lack adequate internet. That’s approximately 1.5 million Californians relying on our policymakers to get this right.To meet or exceed the FCC’s definition of reliable broadband service, both Congress and the state Legislature have underscored a “standards-based, technology-agnostic” delivery approach, whether it’s done via fiber, fixed wireless or satellite technology. ...
