Summary

Jeff Lax, CUNY Professor & staunch Pro-Israel Activist, calls into the show to talk about the controversy surrounding New York City principal Arin Rush's decision to deny Holocaust survivor Sami Steigmann the opportunity to speak at MS 447. The principal's reasons were allegedly based on Sami's comments about Israel and Hamas, which Lax and Sid argue are non-existent and discriminatory. They criticize Mayor Eric Adams and other officials for supporting this decision, suggesting it reflects broader issues of antisemitism and lack of support for the Jewish community in New York. The conversation also touches on the role of federal law and the potential revocation of federal funds from the school. Lax emphasizes the need for strong advocacy against such discriminatory practices. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
