Since last year's Oct. 7 attacks on Israel by Hamas, no U.N. agency has garnered as many headlines as UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East.

Here's a snapshot of what it's like to be Jewish on an American college campus these days: In Tulane, a Jewish student engaging classmates who were burning the Israeli flag was assaulted and had his nose broken.

In Columbia, a verbal exchange about the war in Gaza escalated into an altercation, with a Jewish student hit forcefully on the head and sent to the hospital.

Among the most shocking side effects of Hamas' horrific October 7th attack on Israel has been to expose the indecency at the heart of the American university. The question is what to do about it.

Before the Israeli victims' blood had dried celebrations broke out on American campuses, applauding Hamas' "audacity" and "ingenuity" in bringing murder, rape, torture and kidnapping to some 1,200 Israelis.
