On Life, Liberty and Levin last night, they were characterizing protestors as Hitler Youth. Levin asserted that some vague number of university professors supported Hitler in 1939 and that is a "precedent" for what is going on now. This seems to a theme which will likely guide hard-right blowback to the current anti-war demonstrations campuses--the demonstrators protesting the mass civilian casualties in Gaza are "pro-genocide."
Trey Gowdy's show followed with similar alarm over "growing anti-semitism" and BIden's refusal to give Netanyahu free rein. He interviewed Hugh Hewitt, who proposed Tom Cotton and Mike Pompeo as Trump VP candidates, or failing that, Secretary of Defense of NSC advisor. That should start people thinking of how Trump would be manage a crisis which will still be ongoing if he wins the presidency.

Sanders hits back at Netanyahu: ‘It is not antisemitic to hold you accountable’

Bernie Sanders has hit back fiercely at Benjamin Netanyahu over the Israeli prime minister’s claim that US universities were being overrun by antisemitism on a scale comparable to the rise of Nazism in Germany.
In a video posted on X, the progressive senator from Vermont – who is Jewish – accused Netanyahu of “insult[ing] the intelligence of the American people” by using antisemitism to distract attention from the policies of his “extremist and racist government” in the military offensive in Gaza.
“No Mr Netanyahu, it is not antisemitic or pro-Hamas to point out that, in a little over six months, your extremist government has killed over 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 78,000, 70% of whom are women and children,” Sanders said.. . .
In a blistering conclusion, he said: “Mr Netanyahu, antisemitism is a vile and disgusting form of bigotry that has done unspeakable harm to many millions of people.
“But please, do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal policies of your extremist and racist government. … It is not antisemitic to hold you accountable for your actions.”
Sanders’ comments were a riposte to a video posted on social media by Netanyahu in which he waded in to protests sweeping American university campuses and claimed not enough was being done to combat a “horrific” rise in antisemitism.
“Antisemitic mobs have taken over leading universities,” Netanyahu said. “They call for the annihilation of Israel. They attack Jewish students. They attack Jewish faculty. This is reminiscent of what happened in German universities in the 1930s.
“It has to be stopped. It has to be condemned and condemned unequivocally, but that’s not what happened. The response of several university presidents was shameful. Now fortunately, state, federal and local officials, many of them, have responded differently. But there has to be more.”
