ABOUT ABOUT
  • “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” and other heinous antisemitic messages projected onto Jon M. Huntsman Hall at the University of Pennsylvania.
  • Threats of murder, rape and mass shooting of Jewish students, with the statement “rats need to be eliminated” at Cornell University.
  • Messages protesting “Zionist genocide” and extolling Hamas “martyrs” projected onto the library at George Washington University.
  • Students assaulted for putting up Israeli hostage posters at Columbia University.
  • Students offered extra credit to attend a walkout against Israel at UC Berkeley.
  • Stanford University: a lecturer instructing Jewish students to gather their belongings and stand in the corner because "this is what Israel does to the Palestinians.”
  • Harvard University: 31 student groups signing an open letter blaming Israel “entirely” for Hamas's acts of terror.

 

As we all confront the rising hatred, we invite you to a special virtual program to discuss how universities are — and are not — addressing antisemitism and where we can go from here.
