El huevo de la serpiente en los campus universitarios
¡Quien iba a imaginar que el grito que recorría los campus de la Sorbona francesa a finales de 1800, se repetiría con la misma carga de odio en los campus universitarios del siglo XXI! El famoso “abajo los judíos” y su colofón “muerte a los judíos”, coreado por masas de estudiantes barbarizados que insultaban a Emile Zola y pedían la “ejecución inmediata” del capitán Alfred Dreyfus, se convirtió en un augurio amenazador de la tragedia que teñiría de sangre la piel de Europa. Como bien intuyó Theodor Herzl, a los judíos europeos se les acababa el tiempo, no en vano crecía el antisemitismo en todo el continente: en Viena acababa de ganar las elecciones Karl Lueger gracias al discurso antijudío; en el Imperio Ruso se producían progromos letales desde Moldavia a Rusia, pasando por Ucrania; y en Bohemia se condenaba a muerte a través de los libelos de sangre. Herlz intuyó que solo se podía garantizar la supervivencia del pueblo judío si conseguía un estado reconocido, es decir, conquistaba el derecho internacional. Ahí nació el sionismo, como escudo y protección para un pueblo paria secularmente perseguido y diezmado. Después vendría lo ya conocido, y Europa acabaría asesinando a tres cuartas partes de su población judía: quemando su alma judía, se quemaba a sí misma.
De la 1898 a 2026, y de la Sorbona a los campus norteamericanos, van 128 años en los que todo pasó y pareció que nada entendimos. La nueva oleada antisemita que inflama a los jóvenes manifestantes, se alimenta de la oscuridad de las redes y se multiplica con el libelo y la mentira, pero no es nueva, sino un calco preciso de las oleadas antisemitas que recorrieron la piel de la historia. Cambian los instrumentos y las formas, pero se mantienen intactos los prejuicios y los males que provocan. Sabemos desde siempre que el antisemitismo es la fiebre que detecta la enfermedad, la medida que nos indica cuando una sociedad se endurece, se degrada y se vuelve intolerante. Cada vez en la historia que los judíos han sufrido por su condición judía, el mundo ha vivido situaciones muy trágicas. Es el estigma más letal de la historia y ninguna sociedad sale indemne cuando esparce su veneno. Luchar contra la judeofobia es responsabilidad de todos, pero sobre todo es la responsabilidad de los que no somos judíos.
¿Qué cabe hacer con la oleada antisemita que recorre el mundo? Muchas son las instituciones democráticas -judías y no judías- que trabajan para frenar este fenómeno de odio, pero más allá de los análisis, los debates y la lucha contra los libelos virales que navegan por todas las formas de comunicación, es necesario que las instituciones planteen medidas legales, contundentes y pedagógicas para combatir el discurso de odio. Y es en este punto donde se enmarca la cuestión de los campus universitarios norteamericanos, cuya derivada antisemita desde el 7 de Octubre de 2023, ha sido el foco más brutal y efectivo de propagación del odio. En este sentido, es una buena noticia la decisión del departamento de justicia de demandar a la Universidad de California en los Ángeles (UCLA) por antisemitismo, acusada de permitir un “ambiente educativo hostil” y de actuar con “indiferencia deliberada” ante las agresiones y escraches contra estudiantes judíos en los últimos tiempos. Las 53 páginas del expediente judicial se centran sobre todo en las acciones de los campamentos palestinos vinculados al Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) (la organización que cofundó Zohran Mamdani en la universidad Bowdoin), con agresiones de todo tipo. Según la denuncia, manifestantes encapuchados “golpearon, patearon y atacaron con gas pimienta” a estudiantes judíos en reiteradas ocasiones, sin que las autoridades universitarias actuaran con la celeridad necesaria. Las consecuencias de la denuncia pueden tener un fuerte impacto financiero para UCLA, tanto con la suspensión de nuevos contratos públicos, como la obligación de retornar los fondos federales que han recibido.
Y con UCLA, son más de 60 los expedientes a las universidades bajo sospecha del departamento de Educación norteamericano, con Harvard, Columbia, Stanford, Princeton o Berkeley a la cabeza. El caso de Harvard es especialmente notorio, sobre todo después del papel que hizo su ex presidenta Claudine Gay cuando, a la pregunta de si “pedir el genocidio de los judíos violaba las normas de Harvard sobre intimidación y asedio”, respondió que “depende del contexto”. Otras universidades como Northwestern, Cornell o Brown han cerrado acuerdos de resolución con el gobierno pagando multas que van de los 50 a los 75 millones de dólares, y todas ellas se han comprometido a crear protocolos estrictos contra el antisemitismo. Muchas de ellas han prohibido oficialmente la presencia del SJP y otros grupos afines, aunque ninguna lo ha hecho por antisemitismo, sino por “violar las normas cívicas del campus”.
Sea vía denuncia o vía resolución acordada, lo cierto es que la acción del gobierno contra las universidades demuestra cierta eficacia en el control de los campus universitarios, cuya orgía de odio a los judíos llegó a la cifra de 1.600 actos violentos contra estudiantes judíos durante el tiempo de la guerra en Gaza. Pero sería ingenuo pensar que con ello quedará neutralizado el discurso antisemita, especialmente en su versión antisionista, la versión más cool del viejo antisemitismo. Lo cierto es que la judeofobia ha impactado en los discursos de izquierdas de manera muy activa, como lo ha hecho también en la derecha populista. El odio al judío vuelve a ser el comodín de muchas causas y la coartada de la violencia dialéctica. En este sentido, ha sido mayúscula la irresponsabilidad de las grandes universidades norteamericanas que confundieron el derecho al libre pensamiento, con el derecho a la hostigación y el odio. ¿Tendrán algo que ver los millones de dólares que ha aportado Qatar a dichas universidades? En el caso de Harvard, según el portal de Educación, habría recibido, de manera directa o indirecta, unos 324 millones de dólares…
Sea Qatar mediante, o por la inoperancia de los dirigentes universitarios, o por la demagogia de las izquierdas más violentes, o por todo sumado, el problema más grave es que el huevo de la serpiente se ha inoculado en los campus donde se forman las nuevas generaciones y sus nuevos líderes. Es entre los jóvenes donde más ha crecido la judeofobia, con especial aumento entre los jóvenes universitarios. Ello no es grave solo para los judíos, sino para todos los ciudadanos, porque ninguna sociedad sale indemne del antisemitismo. El odio destruye, embrutece, contamina y ennegrece la sociedad, y nunca crea nada. El odio solo genera odio.

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Dems slammed for demanding ‘five-star accommodations’ for illegal immigrants at ICE facility
EXCLUSIVE: New Jersey lawmaker slams
Assemb. Paul Kanitra, R-Toms River, spoke exclusively to Fox News Digital during a visit to Delaney Hall in Newark where he said Democrats created the crisis that has led to protests.

NEWARK – EXCLUSIVE: Speaking with Fox News Digital at the site of a multi-day confrontation between anti-ICE protesters and federal law enforcement, Republican state lawmaker Paul Kanitra ripped into Democrats for demanding what he described as «five-star accommodations» for illegal immigrants.
Just days after many top New Jersey Democrats, including Gov. Mikie Sherrill and Sen. Andy Kim, joined protesters outside of ICE’s Delaney Hall, Kanitra called Democrats’ handling of illegal immigration a «disgrace.»
«Democrats created this chaos with all their laws. Gov. Sherrill was in office for a couple of weeks before she passed three radical protective illegal immigration bills, taking the masks off of ICE agents, protecting their [illegal immigrants’] status here, giving them more benefits, and here she is out here knowing full well she wasn’t going to get in,» he said.
Democrats and protesters allege that detainees in the Newark ICE facility, known as Delaney Hall, have gone on a hunger strike in protest of inhumane conditions.

On Monday, Sherrill posted on X that she had attempted to enter Delaney Hall after hearing «heartbreaking» reports of unsafe and unconstitutional conditions. She wrote that her request to access the facility was «denied this morning, raising even more questions about what they are trying to hide from public view.»
The Department of Homeland Security has shot down the claims of bad conditions and denied the hunger strike.
Kanitra asserted that Sherrill’s appearance «was a performative stunt to try to change the focus from their policies, which have created this chaos, to try to make some sort of sensational news story out of it.»
He taunted Democrats, saying, «The food service provider here at Delaney Hall is actually the same food service provider that services the $150,000 to $500,000 suites at Met Life Stadium.»
«It seems to be good enough for those guys, so I assume it’s good enough for our illegal invaders behind us,» he said, pointing back to the facility.
The lawmaker said he actually agrees that «every public official should be allowed to see what’s going on inside [the ICE facility] for themselves,» which he said, «will debunk these crazed claims that they have.»
«We already heard from Secretary Mullin himself and DHS saying that these were baseless allegations,» he continued. «I don’t know if they’re expecting the Ritz Carlton behind us, but these people are either here illegally or they were here as part of a privilege, with a visa or other procedure, and then they broke the law and are getting that revoked.»
«They shouldn’t be expecting five-star accommodations here in New Jersey,» he concluded.

Meanwhile, a protester named Diana Tabor told Fox News Digital that she believes the conditions inside the ICE facility are «very unfair.» Tabor, who is Black, also noted that the protesters have been questioning the ethics of ICE agents who «look like us,» saying, «it feels like betrayal.»
She said that protesters, who have been camping outside the facility for several days, are with various advocacy groups and nonprofit organizations and are prepared to keep it up for weeks or months «until justice is served.»
Tabor said she was present on her own «on the behalf of constituents in Union County who have suffered due to the misfair treatment of Delaney Hall.»
«We’ve come here from different backgrounds, different organizations, we came here with different objectives, but ultimately, we formed a big family, and we have one goal, and we’ve all come together to make that goal,» said Tabor.
She agreed, «There is credibility in protecting the American people,» but emphasized, «I do believe that there are different ways to go about it, not kidnapping people, not putting them in overcrowded detention centers, I would say that we need to find a better way to mitigate that.»

«I do think that there are obviously people that come here and do commit crimes, and there are murders and there are rapes and there are robberies and there are people being harmed with the loose borders, and that should be taken care of accordingly, but I think that if we start using our resources adequately and we start using it to actually go against criminals who are hurting people within these borders that we’d get a lot more done,» she said.
«So, I would say that we need to start focusing more on actual crime, and not just profiling people based on what they look like,» Tabor added. «I think that there is a happy medium between protecting human rights and also protecting the country.»

DHS responded to the protests by publishing a statement stating that certified dietitians evaluate meals and that all detainees are provided with three meals a day, clean water, clothing, bedding, showers, soap, and toiletries.
The agency added that detainees «also have access to phones to communicate with their family members and lawyers» and that «ICE has higher detention standards than most U.S. prisons that hold actual U.S. citizens.»

Attitudes toward higher education have shifted dramatically in the last two decades, as the latest Fox News poll shows voters far less inclined to believe a college degree is still worth pursuing.
In 2006, 65% thought a student with $100,000 should use it for college tuition rather than invest the money and go straight to work, and 84% said college was more important to success than it was 25 years earlier.
FOX NEWS POLL: AS ECONOMIC PAIN DEEPENS, DISAPPROVAL OF TRUMP HITS NEW HIGH
Today, those views have flipped. Two-thirds (65%) now say prospective college goers should invest the money and go straight to work. At the same time, more than 6 in 10 say college is less, rather than more, important to success than it was a generation ago.
Twenty years ago, voters were split on whether a degree should be obtained at any cost (46% agree, 49% disagree). Now, three-quarters of voters say a college degree is not worth getting at any cost (27% agree, 73% disagree).
FOX NEWS POLL: 30% THINK RECENT TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT WAS STAGED
The shift spans demographic groups. In 2006, majorities of voters under age 30, over 65, college graduates, those without college degrees, Democrats, Republicans, and independents all thought college was worth the money and was important to success. Today, those same groups largely hold the opposite opinion.
Additionally, if parents were making recommendations today, they would urge a high schooler to skip college and invest. They also think a degree is less important to success in life these days and disagree it should be obtained at any cost.
Despite these reversals, voters express confidence in certain aspects of higher education. Majorities have a great deal or at least some confidence that universities provide a high-quality education (72% confident), protect free speech (63%), provide fair learning environments (62%), respect all students regardless of political views (60%), and prepare students for the workforce (58%).
But voters are deeply skeptical about the financial motives of universities. Fewer than half, 45%, express confidence in higher education’s ability to put students ahead of profits, making it the only area tested where confidence falls below the majority.
Views on that question also show some of the widest demographic differences. Voters under age 30 (54% have confidence) are more likely than those ages 65+ (38%) to believe universities prioritize students over profits. Black voters (61%) and Hispanic voters (61%) are more likely than White voters (41%) to say students are a priority over profits, as are Democrats (50%) and independents (50%) compared to Republicans (39%), and parents (52%) compared to non-parents (43%).
Voters with and without college degrees are equally likely to have confidence that colleges prioritize students over profits (45% vs. 46% have confidence).
While most demographic groups express confidence in higher education, Republicans are more skeptical. When it comes to providing a high-quality education (62% have confidence), protecting free speech (54%), preparing students for the workforce (51%), providing a fair and unbiased learning environment (50%), respecting students regardless of political views (49%), and putting students ahead of profits (39%), Republicans’ confidence are well below other demographic groups.
Democrats and independents hold more positive views. Majorities say colleges provide a high-quality education (81% of Democrats, 71% of independents), protect free speech (70%, 64%), prepare students for the workforce (66%, 58%), provide a fair learning space (72%, 65%), respect students’ political views (69%, 64%), and put students ahead of profits (50% each).
«Voters in both parties have a beef with higher education, but the grievance is particularly acute among Republicans,» says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who helps conduct the Fox News Poll with Democrat Chris Anderson. «They not only think universities are too expensive but also that they have been captured by woke, leftist administrators and professors.»

Conducted May 15–18, 2026, under the direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), this Fox News survey includes interviews with a sample of 1,002 registered voters randomly selected from a national voter file. Respondents spoke with live interviewers on landlines (109) and cellphones (635) or completed the survey online after receiving a text (258). Results based on the full sample have a margin of sampling error of ±3 percentage points. Sampling error for results among subgroups is higher. In addition to sampling error, question wording and order can influence results. Weights are generally applied to age, race, education, and area variables to ensure the demographics are representative of the registered voter population. Sources for developing weight targets include the most recent American Community Survey, Fox News Voter Analysis, and voter file data.
