“ If you want to give reparations, how about all the people who died fighting in World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and Korea? What did they get,” asks Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” Victor Davis Hanson reacts to pro-Palestinian protests marching through Jewish neighborhoods in New York City that required 500 police, arguing leaders and campus culture have created “open season” on Jews and warning of broader social breakdown. Hanson outlines his “four horsemen” of new antisemitism—demography driven by immigration and foreign influence, DEI’s oppressor framework, institutional changes in the Democrat Party, and left-wing popular culture—while also faulting parts of the populist right. The conversation turns to legal and illegal immigration, assimilation, and sanctuary policies, alongside Mayorkas’s belated regret over Biden’s border response and the administration’s loss of track of migrant children. They cover reports detailing Oct. 7 sexual atrocities, San Francisco’s regulatory priorities amid disorder, Harvard’s reparations effort and fears of identifying too many descendants, and a Cambridge shooting by a felon released early, with comments on vigilantism and upcoming politics.
