This is like claiming higher ice cream sales are associated with increased shark attacks (google "spurious correlation"). And as many have noted, Mangione's politics are ambiguous. I'm sorry Shabbos, you can't blame every problem in the world on antisemitism on college campuses.

I'm not sure what's more bitterly ironic about this tweet: the fact that it reproduces the same nakedly sensationalist, anti-intellectual bravado Liel frequently accuses the left of, or that it unknowingly reveals the speciousness of the American Jewish anti-university grift.
