Schools Out, Antisemitism In: Exposing Year-Round Jew-Hatred on Campus
Why has antisemitism become normalized in American universities?
In this powerful episode of Do You Ever Wonder, host Michael Haltman sits down with Andrew Pessin—Philosophy professor at Connecticut College, author of Israel Breathes, World Condemns, Campus Bureau Editor at The Algemeiner, and Fox News contributor—to expose the festering crisis of rising campus antisemitism.
We start with Andrew’s raw, unfiltered reactions to words and phrases shaping today’s toxic environment:
- Useful Idiots,
- Normalization,
- Political Rhetoric,
- Ivy League,
- Anti-Zionism vs. Antisemitism,
- Anarchists,
- Islamists,
- Foreign Money
Together, we dig deep into:
- How antisemitism has become socially acceptable on college campuses
- The failure of university administrators to protect Jewish students
- The impact of federal scrutiny and whether it drives real change
- The lived experiences of Jewish students facing intimidation and hate
- Why fields like Middle East Studies and Gender Studies are breeding grounds for anti-Zionist narratives
- The daily campus antisemitism roundup and under-reported incidents the media ignores
- The political implications of leaders like Zohran Mamdani and why Jewish voters sometimes support anti-Israel candidates
- Where Andrew still finds hope, and what must change to protect Jewish communities
If you care about combating antisemitism, defending academic freedom, and understanding why Jew-hatred is resurging in higher education (and elsewhere in society), this conversation is essential listening.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
