The United State of America - What Happened?

Nov 16, 2024 | blogs.timesofisrael.com | Moshe Vardi

I am a Israeli American who has been living in the United States for over 40 years. I woke up on Nov. 6, 2024 and found myself in a new country. In 2016, Donald Trump was elected as US president, but the country did not know exactly who he was and what he stood for. In 2024, the country knew exactly who he was and what he stood for, and yet he was re-elected. How did that happen? Earlier this year, I wrote an article about “US Campus Antisemitism — How Did We Get Here?”.

As one gains seniority, there is a presumption—dubious, perhaps—that one also gains wisdom. Thus, I find myself asked, not infrequently, to share some wisdom with junior researchers who seek insight that can foster success in their careers or life in general. I offer one cautionary bit of advice: “Life is not linear.”Linearity is one of the greatest success stories in mathematics.

IntroductionThe sudden withdrawal of President Biden from the Democratic ticket amidst the continued war in Gaza has thrown US support for Israel and for American Jews into new light. The appointment of Vice President Harris as the Democratic candidate put her record and progressive wing of the party under scrutiny. This change of the guard comes the nation faces new street protests by pro-Hamas forces and pressures created by the mendacious ‘International Court of Justice’ ruling against Israel.
Antisemitism, Anti-Zionism, and Israelophobia

Jul 4, 2024 | blogs.timesofisrael.com | Moshe Vardi

US campus antisemitism is much in the news these days. To understand why, we have to go back to October 7, 2023, when invading Hamas gunmen murdered, tortured, mass raped, and mutilated some 1,200 Israelis. The vast majority of the victims were unarmed women, children, infants, and the elderly. About 240 Israeli hostages, including women, elders, children, and infants were taken as hostages to Gaza.

A Moral Rot at Rice University

Dec 7, 2023 | medium.com | Moshe Vardi

December 1, 2023, was my 30th anniversary at Rice University. I was not always a “happy camper” at Rice. At times, I had significant disagreements with Rice’s leadership; for example, I did not hesitate to criticize Rice’s response to the COVID pandemic. Yet I have always been proud of being a faculty member at Rice University. With deep chagrin, I have to admit that I can no longer say that. My first inkling of a problem brewing at Rice was in the fall of 2022.
