Welcome back

When Yale University abruptly informed the Yale Institute for the International Study of Antisemitism (YISSA)  that the program was no longer welcome on campus, the ivy league institution  broke tradition in a number of ways to hasten the closure of its five-year partnership with Dr. Charles Small and his dynamic organization.
Last week, at the 92nd Street Y in Manhattan, Small announced the return of his effort under its original name: International Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP). The new venture is an independent entity with academic affiliations at the Hoover Institute at Stanford University in California, as well as at Fordham University at its mid-town Manhattan campus in New York.
In his presentation, Charles Small made the point that the lack of significant, dedicated academic efforts to study antisemitism on American campuses is not a coincidence, and the  avoidance of the subject is in no small measure due to the interests it offends. Scrutinizing Radical Political Islam as a source of the genocidal impulse the world manifests towards Israel and the Jewish people is a topic that has become taboo at Yale, as it is at most other educational institutions around the world.
