Zach Kessel is a William F. Buckley Jr. Fellow in Political Journalism at National Review, a current Tikvah Krauthammer Fellow, and a former Beren Summer Fellow. Since October 7, his work has consisted mainly of reporting on antisemitism on college campuses, first in the form of statements by student organizations excusing, identifying with, and even praising Hamas's attack on Israel, and then on the rallies and associated activities where genocidal rhetoric can be seen on posters and heard in chants. He has appeared on national television and on podcasts to discuss his reporting and the state of higher education in the United States and has participated in panel discussions at universities and at the 2023 Jewish Leadership Conference. He has also maintained an account on National Review's website of the myriad attacks against Jewish people in the West since October 7. Zach can be seen in the forthcoming January issue of National Review's print edition on the origins of contemporary anti-Zionism within Soviet propaganda. In addition to National Review, his writings have appeared in publications including the Dispatch, the Washington Free Beacon, and the Washington Post.
