He refused to allow the witnesses to retreat into bureaucratic language about funding and investigation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s there to investigate? <strong>We see it!<\/strong>\u201d Kennedy snapped, referring to the televised images of anti-Semitic rhetoric and hostile demonstrations.<\/p>\n<p>He then delivered the line that crystallized his outrage over the perceived failure of academic leadership:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was clear to me that that the administration at Columbia and most members of the faculty believed passionately in\u00a0<strong>diversity, equity, inclusion, and the right to hurt Jews<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\">\n<div class=\"adsconex-banner\" data-ad-placement=\"banner8\" id=\"ub-banner8\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy\u2019s choice of words was deliberate and visceral. He argued that the progressive framework of DEI had been weaponized to provide cover for hostility toward Jewish students under the guise of political protest and social justice activism. This was not a critique of political performance; it was a moral accusation aimed at the heart of America\u2019s elite institutions.<\/p>\n<p>When the witness attempted to defend the actions as merely \u201cprotesters for against the war in Gaza and them using some anti-Semitic slogans,\u201d Kennedy refused to be swayed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, don\u2019t get off the subject on me now. You\u2019re telling me that\u2019s not what you saw?\u201d he demanded.<\/p>\n<p>Though Rep. Ilhan Omar was never explicitly named by Kennedy in his most searing accusations, her influence pulsed beneath the entire debate. To her critics, Omar\u2019s unapologetic critiques of Israel, her framing of the Palestinian struggle, and her past controversial statements have provided the ideological spark\u2014and subsequent political cover\u2014for the radicalization seen on campuses.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy, however, distilled the issue to a simple moral challenge, one that directly confronts the moral relativism often used by Omar\u2019s defenders:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me ask you, let me ask you a question, Miss Kohab. Do you think it\u2019s possible to feel compassionate\u2026 for the Palestinian people\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This question cut through the political noise, challenging the moral logic underpinning the activist movements. Kennedy\u2019s conviction was clear: in the current ideological climate, the line between advocating for the oppressed and targeting the Jewish community has been dangerously blurred by figures who prioritize performative outrage over moral clarity.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy\u2019s patience finally snapped when a witness tried to defend the administration at Columbia, prompting one of the most memorable lines of the hearing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you telling me Colia, the Columbia administration and the faculty was supportive of the Jew?\u201d Kennedy demanded, before delivering his searing indictment of the progressive worldview:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to stop dipping into your\u00a0<strong>ketamine stash<\/strong>\u2026 You can try to bubble wrap this, but that\u2019s what I saw\u2026 If you want to stop a lot of the anti-semitism,\u00a0<strong>maybe we need to stop teaching kids to be anti-semitic<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This final charge accused America\u2019s top universities of actively fostering an anti-Semitic environment through ideological bias. Kennedy\u2019s message was unmistakable: When ideology overshadows accountability and moral logic, classrooms risk becoming breeding grounds for hate disguised as activism.<\/p>\n<p>The hearing served as a dramatic cultural call-out, emphasizing that the problem of campus anti-Semitism is not merely a matter of lacking funds for investigation, but a symptom of a deeper moral decay that demands moral clarity and ideological responsibility from elected officials and academic leaders alike.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"724\" data-start=\"284\">The Resident Evil franchise continues to dominate the world of survival horror, and fans are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the next installment \u2014 Resident Evil 9. After the massive success of Resident Evil Village, Capcom seems to be gearing up for another chilling experience. From potential storylines to speculated titles like Resident Evil 9: Apocalypse, here\u2019s everything you need to know about the much-anticipated game.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1115\" data-start=\"760\">Resident Evil 9 is expected to be the next mainline entry in Capcom\u2019s legendary horror series. As the ninth major title, it&#8217;s likely to build upon the narrative of the previous games, particularly Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil Village, which introduced Ethan Winters and a new storyline outside of the classic Raccoon City saga.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1528\" data-start=\"1153\">Resident Evil 9 may take the franchise into new territory, both narratively and geographically. Rumors suggest it could introduce fresh characters, eerie locations, and a darker, more supernatural tone. With the working title reportedly being Resident Evil 9: Apocalypse, fans are buzzing with theories about what \u201capocalypse\u201d might hint at in terms of gameplay and plot.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1670\" data-start=\"1582\">One of the most asked questions online is: When is the Resident Evil 9 release date?<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"2127\" data-start=\"1672\">As of now, Capcom has not officially announced a release date for Resident Evil 9. However, various insider leaks and industry speculation suggest that the game is currently in development and may release as early as late 2025 or early 2026. Given the typical development cycle of major Resident Evil titles, this timeline makes sense \u2014 Resident Evil Village was released in 2021, and Capcom often works on a 4-5 year cycle between mainline games.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"2441\" data-start=\"2159\">According to some reliable industry sources, Resident Evil 9 has been in development since at least 2018. These early reports, combined with Capcom\u2019s consistent push for annual releases (including remakes and spin-offs), hint that the next major installment is closer than we think.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"2843\" data-start=\"2507\">Many fans believe the upcoming title will be called Resident Evil 9: Apocalypse, based on leaks from credible sources and internal Capcom documentation. While the title hasn\u2019t been confirmed officially, it aligns with the thematic evolution of the series \u2014 from viruses and bioterrorism to more apocalyptic and supernatural threats.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"3081\" data-start=\"2880\">The word \u201cApocalypse\u201d implies a cataclysmic event or the end of the world \u2014 a fitting direction if the game plans to scale up from the isolated horrors of Resident Evil Village. This could involve:<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"3121\" data-start=\"3085\">A global outbreak of a new bioweapon<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"3148\" data-start=\"3124\">The fall of major cities<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"3193\" data-start=\"3151\">Supernatural enemies influenced by viruses<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"3229\" data-start=\"3196\">A darker, more psychological tone<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"3409\" data-start=\"3231\">The title may also symbolize the conclusion of the storyline that began with Resident Evil 7, possibly wrapping up the Ethan Winters arc \u2014 or introducing a brand-new protagonist.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"3595\" data-start=\"3451\">While no official gameplay footage of Resident Evil 9 has been released, fans and insiders have speculated about several potential features.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"3986\" data-start=\"3632\">Resident Evil 7 and Village used a first-person perspective, which significantly increased the horror element. Some rumors suggest Resident Evil 9 will continue this trend, while others say it may return to a third-person view like the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 4. A hybrid system could be possible, giving players the option to switch perspectives.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"4316\" data-start=\"4020\">Another exciting rumor is the potential for open-world exploration. Resident Evil Village introduced semi-open areas with exploration, and Capcom may expand on this by making Resident Evil 9 a fully open-world game, possibly set in a remote village or crumbling city overtaken by bio-mutants.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"4587\" data-start=\"4357\">Capcom is expected to improve enemy AI and introduce more diverse enemies, including new types of mutated creatures, smarter enemies, and possibly even supernatural foes\u2014especially if \u201cApocalypse\u201d involves elements beyond science.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"4953\" data-start=\"4626\">With each new Resident Evil installment, fans eagerly hope for the return of iconic characters like Leon S. Kennedy, Chris Redfield, or Jill Valentine. While Resident Evil 9 might introduce a new lead, some leaks have hinted that Chris Redfield may play a supporting role, continuing from his appearance in Village.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"5198\" data-start=\"4991\">Spoiler alert for Resident Evil Village \u2014 Ethan\u2019s fate was left ambiguous. While many believe his story ended in Village, Resident Evil 9 may surprise us with flashbacks, new revelations, or even his return.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"5613\" data-start=\"5264\">Though Capcom has kept things under wraps, it\u2019s clear that Resident Evil 9 is going to be one of the most talked-about and anticipated horror games of the coming years. Whether it ends up being called Resident Evil 9: Apocalypse or something else entirely, the franchise\u2019s legacy ensures that fans are in for a terrifying and thrilling ride.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"5711\" data-start=\"5615\">Stay tuned as we await more updates, trailers, and an official Resident Evil 9 release date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C.\u00a0\u2013 A Senate hearing on the surge of anti-Semitism on college campuses erupted into a fiery moral and ideological confrontation this week, \u00a0led by Senator\u00a0John Kennedy\u00a0(R-LA).\u00a0Kennedy\u2019s line of questioning,\u00a0sharp and uncompromising,\u00a0exposed&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19101,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hot-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19102","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19102"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19102\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/19101"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19102"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19102"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
