Antisemitism Surge, Iran Deal Doubts, Europe’s Free-Ride, and California’s Breakdown | VDH

Victor Davis Hanson and Sami Wink cover New York’s Mamdani removing a city webpage celebrating ties with Israel and broader incidents they describe as a mainstreaming of antisemitism, which Hanson attributes to DEI ideology, Middle East money and influence in universities, and Israel’s current strength. Hanson recounts a contentious Piers Morgan appearance defending Israel and warns of rising street-level attacks on Jews. They assess reports of a possible Trump-Iran agreement, arguing Iran is untrustworthy and urging verifiable surrender of enriched uranium and limits on missiles, while addressing War Powers Act politics. Hanson attacks Canada’s Mark Carney and Europe’s reliance on U.S. defense, then turns to California’s “jungle primary,” proposed new taxes, the Palisades arson suspect’s left-wing posts, campus activism, and a Supreme Court redistricting ruling he says could reshape House seats and elections.
