How Kyiv wins, colleges molding antisemites and other commentary

Eye on Ukraine: How Kyiv Wins

Now that US aid is settled, explains Kurt Volker at the Center for European Policy Analysis, “We must no longer give Ukraine just enough to survive, but not enough to win.”

President Biden must show “no equivocation,” while all US officials cease “avoiding the words ‘win,’ ‘victory,’ and ‘Russian defeat.’”

And: “flood Ukraine with massive quantities of arms and ammunition, as quickly as possible.”

“Rather than worrying about what Putin might do, Putin should worry about what we might do.”

From missiles to allowed targets inside Russia, “lift all artificial and self-imposed limits on aid to Ukraine.”

Conservative: Colleges Molding Antisemites

Elite universities are “helping to mold the next generation of Americans into hateful antisemites and racists, urging them to view the world through these oppressor-oppressed narratives” based on “people’s Palestinian or Jewish identities” warns the Washington Examiner’s Zachary Faria.

At Columbia, students are “cheering for terrorism.”

“The same is happening at Yale University” as well as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, The University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Michigan.

In fact, “the Department of Education keeps adding schools to its list of investigations for antisemitism, a list that now includes more than half of Ivy League members.”

Why? “These universities have embraced the ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ ideology that colors the world through ‘oppressors’ and ‘oppressed,’ ” a worldview that “places Palestinian terrorists firmly in the perennially ‘oppressed’ category.”

From the right: NPR Proving Critic’s Point

“NPR’s handling of [Uri] Berliner’s criticism is a textbook case of what not to do in such a situation,” writes Becket Adams at The Hill.

“Berliner, who worked for NPR for 25 years, resigned last week following the fallout from” his essay warning “that the publicly funded network has abandoned its journalistic integrity in favor of left-wing ideology” and “that the network no longer tolerates opposing views and discourages anything that doesn’t align strictly with progressive dogma.”

“Berliner’s criticisms have not been well received at NPR. At least 50 staffers and their newly anointed CEO . . . have dismissed his concerns outright and attacked his integrity. Prior to his resignation, NPR had also suspended Berliner . . . Management is only proving his point about its hivemind tendencies and its inability to tolerate contrary viewpoints.”

From the left: Democrats Are Turning AOC’s Way

“In recent weeks, Democratic leaders have begun inching closer to the progressive view that it is against US interests to continue sending unconditional US military aid to [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu’s government,” cheers The New York Times’ Mara Gay.

“In the first days after Israel invaded Gaza last fall, progressives like [Rep. Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez were calling for a cease-fire.”

And while “for months, President Biden and the mainstream of the Democratic Party treated these views as unwelcome and extreme,” now “the Democrats who are now openly talking about putting conditions on aid to Israel are hardly on the fringe.”

It’s “a mark of the growing influence of American progressives on the Democratic Party.”

Eye on ’24: Abortion Offers Biden a Lifeline

Although former President Donald Trump calls himself “the ‘most pro-life’ president in American history,” clearly “his pro-life bona fides are always secondary to his political ambitions,” sighs Kristen Day of Democrats for Life at Newsweek.

He’s gone from pointing out “his fingerprints on Roe’s demise” to engaging in a “delicate double-talk” to show himself “as less extreme” than others.

So: “It’s time for the pro-life movement to divorce Donald Trump and steer back toward policy solutions that work. That means it’s time to start engaging with Democrats again.”

Fact is, “it would be strategically wise for” President Biden “to make concessions to pro-life voices,” and take the lead in advocating for a new “national 15-week limit on abortion” with exceptions.

He can “establish a new and popular national norm that brings together a wide range of perspectives on a deeply divisive area.”
