Most universities in Israel have most any degree program available entirely in English and certainly welcome Americans.

That is certainly a good solution for many students, and they should be proudly encouraged. Others might find other options better for the particular studies they wish to pursue.

Certainly there has been NO loud and consistent condemnation from American education and government leaders on the anti-Semitic racism overtaking Columbia and other US campuses. Has the Biden administration condemned the threats by pro-Hamas students against Jews on campus?

This is no longer the 1930’s where the only game in town is North America and Europe. There are high quality international level Universities outside the West where students can do their studies or work on their doctorates. There are the Indian Institute of Tecnologies (IITs) in India, the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil, some in China and elsewhere that are top tier.

The longer term point is that Jewish scholarship in the West has lead to 129 Nobel Prizes, plus technological leadership in many fields. Ill treatment by Western countries does not have to be tolerated. Sending excellent Jewish scholars to the developing world can accelerate the shift in technological power to nations and peoples who might be more appreciative. And maybe the trickle can turn into something larger where these countries will be safer places for communities that should avoid a West that is about to self destruct.
