Today in Labor History April 23, 1968: Students took over the administration buildings at Columbia University, in New York, and shut down the university. They were protesting the Vietnam war. Nowadays, students are being arrested, deported, expelled, blacklisted from future jobs, for occupying parts of campus in protest of the Israeli Genocide on Gaza, and in support of a free Palestine. In 2024, they suspended the daughter of Congressional representative Ilhan Omar, who became homeless, as a result. At the time, the ADL and rightwing Trump supporters Josh Hawley and Tom Cotton were calling for the National Guard to be deployed to college campuses. And rightwing Zionist union leader, Randi Weingarten (of the American Federation of Teachers), who shook hands with admirers of the Ukrainian fascist and antisemite Stepan Bandera in Ukraine in 2022, denounced the Columbia protesters as “antisemites.” Columbia capitulated to most of Trump’s fascistic demands, in hopes of winning back billions of dollars in funding he had withheld from the university. But Trump just kept demanding more, sending the clear message to other universities that it didn’t matter how much they bent over backwards for him, he’d still f*ck with them. Consequently, Harvard and over 200 other universities have pledged to resist Trump.

Italy is under pressure over a Kanye ‘Ye’ West gig after UK, France, Poland and Switzerland cancellations.
The European leg of controversial rapper’s 2026 tour has so far been derailed by several cancellations over his past antisemitic remarks.
Momentum is growing for West’s upcoming concert in Italy to be axed – further fuelling rumours that the European leg of his tour may be cancelled altogether.

"In a new #study, #researchers introduce the dual threat model of #antisemitism, which highlights the central role of perceived #Jewish power in fueling antisemitism, and they discuss its implications for interventions aimed at curbing antisemitism.
The study, “The Perils of Perceived Power: The Dual Threat Model of Antisemitism,” was conducted by researchers at #CarnegieMellon #University, #Reichman University, #Stanford University, and #BostonUniversity and appears in #AmericanPsychologist.
“Antisemitism remains a significant issue, reflected in harmful #stereotypes, #prejudice, #discrimination, and #hatecrimes against #Jews in the #UnitedStates and worldwide,” explains #TayaRCohen, Professor of Organizational Behavior and Business Ethics at Carnegie Mellon’s #TepperSchool of Business, who coauthored the study.
“Our model offers a framework for understanding the social, psychological and ideological roots of antisemitism."

The online discourse around these antisemitic attacks is dire, but it is good to see that arrests for the three arson attacks on Jews last week are happening at a decent pace.
Nine though, blimey. No details yet other than their ages, but nine young people spurred into this hatred, nine who thought this was in any way justifiable or good.
