Although Trump’s election has signaled a radical cultural shift against “wokeness” in America, some things haven’t changed. The keffiyeh kids are still at it, continuing to harass Jewish students under the banner of “Students for Justice in Palestine.”

Last week, on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau — also known as International Holocaust Remembrance Day — 60-some Ohio State University students, armed with bullhorns, posters, and winter jackets, encircled the Schottenstein Chabad House, OSU’s Jewish Student Center. The Chabad House — a temporary rental while the original building undergoes renovations — sits on a quiet residential street corner a few blocks from the main campus.
