On this episode of CrossPolitic at AmFest 2025, Knox, Toby, and Gabe welcome Eyal Yakoby from the University of Pennsylvania on to talk about the issue of anti-Semitism on college campuses and why it reveals a deeper crisis of cowardice and hypocrisy in American culture. Going into Eyal's experience witnessing professors celebrate Hamas after October 7th and the congressional testimony where Ivy League presidents couldn't condemn calls for genocide, it's a discussion about faith, politics, and what it means to stand for truth in a world that celebrates terror.

ABOUT CROSSPOLITIC

CrossPolitic exists to put Jesus over Politics and reclaim the public square through bold, joyful, biblically grounded media. We confront the chaos discipling America and build the next generation of Christian media infrastructure. Our mission is simple: all of Christ for all of media for all of America. Mainstream media is collapsing. Eighty-seven percent of journalists identify as progressive, and even many conservative outlets prioritize profit over principle. Meanwhile, billions of hours of digital content are discipling the world every day. CrossPolitic stands in that gap, producing courageous, entertaining, truth-filled media for households, churches, and leaders across the nation.
