Following catastrophic damage to the Amazon rainforest caused by an ongoing series of fires, the Brazillian government rejected $20 million pledged by the international community at the G7 Summit, alleging imperialistic ulterior motives on the part of French President Emmanuel Macron. However, Bolsonaro’s administration later stated that they would accept the aid, on the condition that the French President Emmanuel Macron apologize for his comments regarding Bolsonaro’s behavior and what appeared to be a disrespectful potshot at Macron’s wife. Furthermore, numerous environmental scientists and indigenous people have alleged that the cattle industry is starting the fires to clear land with Bolsonaro’s support, raising questions as to whether the President even cares about the rainforest and the people and wildlife living within it. Faced with this cataclysmic destruction, how should we view Brazil’s delayed response and this political back-and-forth between world leaders? What do you think these actions mean for the rainforest, and how might they affect global conservation and environmental protection movements?

I spent a number of days this summer at protests — often branded “actions” — led often, but not always, by Jewish people, in response to the human rights abuses currently being committed by ICE and Customs and Border Patrol against immigrants and asylum seekers in detention facilities along our nation’s southern border. All of these demonstrations involved analogies to the Holocaust — usually centered around the expression “Never Again.” There’s been much discussion in Jewish circles about this analogy ever since it was seized on by the activist collective #NeverAgainAction earlier this year. I think it’s worth sorting through it.

The second night had former Vice President Joe Biden and California Senator Kamala Harris as the headliners, with most viewers wondering whether or not there would be a repeat of their explosive exchange in the first debate. Ultimately, neither candidate landed a significant blow, as the night instead saw many others targeting Biden on stage, testing his composure and presence, which were called into question after last month’s debate.

As the race for the Democratic presidential nomination continues to heat up, all eyes turned to the second and final debate before the qualification threshold is raised. Because of this steep increase in the qualification requirements, many expected that this would be a last stand of sorts for many campaigns, with a handful of candidates likely to make last minute appeals in an attempt to qualify for the September debate. Furthermore, a number of different storylines emerged after each candidate was divided into one of the two nights, including but not limited to speculation over whether the two foremost progressives in the race, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, would go after one another, and what would happen in the second meeting between California Senator Kamala Harris and former Vice President Joe Biden after she went after him with conviction in the first debate.

With the first democratic primary debates behind us, each candidate will be pressing to spin their performance favorably, no matter how middling, lackluster or even self-evidently superb their performance may have been. Now that the campaign is underway and candidates are being scrutinized by voters and moderators alike, I will be sharing my own post-debate takeaways. The ranking system is based on who did the most to improve their chances and — especially for the lesser known candidates — get their name out.

Final exams at the end of the semester — at nearly every university, that’s just a matter-of-fact aspect of campus life. But in 1949, Brandeis was only in the second semester of its first academic year. Buildings still had to be built, professors still had to be hired and students still had to be recruited. The school was not even fully accredited yet. Suffice it to say, there was plenty of work left to do to get the fledgling university off the ground.

I am puzzled as to why Ellie Eiger (Brandeis ‘20) and Congressman Kennedy in a recent article (“Congressman discusses US-Israel Relationship”) believe that the citizens of Gaza should vote in Israeli elections?
