In June 2024, presidential candidate Donald J. Trump said: "You graduate from a college, I think you should get, automatically as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country. That includes junior colleges, too."

A largely failed attempt to place ads for a pro-Israel book in ten universities’ student papers illustrates the double standard by which many students as well as faculty and administrators treat anti-Israel protestors, on one hand, and Israel supporters on the other.

This is the view of Discovery Institute co-founder George Gilder, author of The Israel Test and increasingly a critic of current U.S. and European half-way measures in support of Israel. Read More ›
