Read Tony Blair in @TheFP on the line that was crossed in the UK last week.
What I saw at Cornell was the Omnicause personified. At one point, a student took the mic and shouted:
“Race matters! Gender matters! Sexuality matters! Class matters! Disability matters! Immigration status matters!"
The rally felt like a mash-up of every left-wing causes of the last decade—from Black Lives Matter to the anti-Israel craze. Think: "no justice, no peace" chants and keffiyehs.

🎯 Spot on intervention from Tony Blair in the FP today:
Tony Blair: Britain’s Fastest-Growing Party Has an Anti-Jewish Problem
When misguided or malevolently guided activists in Western countries campaign for Zionism to be delegitimized, they do more than cause affront to Israel and to the Jewish community across the world. They harm the Palestinian cause—the very cause they say they support.
Palestinians know Israel will continue to exist. They know that if there were a one-state solution how unlikely it would be that such a state would be Palestinian.
Resolutions like the one just passed by the Greens simply provide fodder for those on the far right in Israel, who also believe that Palestinians and Israelis can never live in peace.
