Pope Leo XIV, Campus Antisemitism, and the Pulitzer Prize Controversy
From May 12, 2025
A new pope is elected—and Elliot examines the troubling antisemitic legacy of his namesake, Leo XIII. The hosts then turn to the Pulitzer Prize awarded to Gazan poet Mosab Abu Toha, whose social media posts denied Emily Damari's status as a hostage. They also credit Columbia University's new president for finally calling in police on masked protesters and debate whether Trump administration pressure deserves credit for the shift.
