Description
Since October 7, there has been a wave of antisemitic incidents at American universities. Jewish students have been harassed and threatened. Just as frightening was the partisanship after the pogrom for Hamas and against Israel on the part of some students and professors, usually lightly disguised under the slogan of ‘resistance.’ Surveys indicate that the underlying world views are widespread. This was also evident in the lack of outcry against it within the universities. Most university administrations were simply speechless and showed astonishing restraint in condemning antisemitism and Hamas.
