The Forum Roundtable: Islamism and Antisemitism in Academia

Friday, July 25, 2025

College campuses have become ground zero for the world’s antisemites to take advantage of democratic norms to espouse their hatred of Jews and the Jewish homeland while coupling their vitriol with physical acts of abuse and intimidation not seen in the West since the years leading up to the Shoah. After many years of both Democrat policymakers and progressive university administrations ignoring the impending explosion of Jew-hatred brewing under their leadership, the atrocities of October 7th shockingly became the impetus for the Islamists and antisemites to unveil their true goals of annihilation of Israel and the destruction of the West. These two aspirations of malign forces working together are now facing pushback from the Trump administration with America’s elite academic institutions finally in the crosshairs. Do not miss this month’s Forum Roundtable featuring three of the most important voices on the topic of antisemitism and Islamism in academia for a must watch program featuring Ruth Wisse, Asaf Romirowsky and Sam Westrop.

Ruth Wisse is a distinguished senior fellow at The Tikvah Fund.

Lauri Regan is the vice president and treasurer at Scholars for Peace in the Middle East.

Asaf Romirowsky is the executive director of the Association for the Study of the Middle East and Africa.

Sam Westrop is the director of the Middle East Forum’ Islamist Watch project.
