Republicans Close University of Florida Chapter Over Alleged Antisemitism
For Jews like myself—proud, unapologetic Zionists who long felt safe and politically at home within the Republican Party—the shift is jarring. For decades, the locus of organized Jew-hatred in American politics was overwhelmingly on the left. But divisive figures like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly and their fellow travelers have driven a stake straight through the moral center of what was once a reliably pro-Israel, philo-Semitic political home. So it is no small comfort that Republicans would close their University of Florida chapter over antisemitism. At least the right is pushing back, fighting this scourge, this awful poison. The left, on the other hand, is embracing it.
