Racism in Colleges: The Hostile Atmosphere for Jewish Students During Pro-Palestinian Protests
Racism at Columbia University During Pro-Palestinian Protests
A new report from Columbia University’s antisemitism task force reveals that Jewish students faced hostile treatment during pro-Palestinian protests last school year. This hostility underscores an alarming rise in antisemitism on campuses across the nation, linked to the recent escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
The Impact of Protests on Jewish Students
During the protests, many Jewish and Israeli students reported feeling unsafe and unwelcome, a situation that has raised significant concerns about race and ethnicity dynamics within educational institutions. The report suggests that institutions must confront these issues head-on to ensure a safe environment for all students, irrespective of their background.
