Taking Action Against Campus Antisemitism

“I’m scared; not for my own physical safety... I’m scared for the Jewish students and I’m scared for the Israeli students who now feel less safe [on campus] than their families do in a war zone.”

This was a sobering comment during yesterday’s ADL Fighting Hate from Home webinar about Taking Action Against Campus Antisemitism. The speaker was Shai Davidai, a Columbia University Assistant Professor of Business who has been a notable voice in speaking out about Israel and about Jewish student safety on campus.

He was joined on the panel by Georgia Tech Hillel President, student Talia Segal, who shared her perspective on the campus climate and says she feels physically safe at school but sometimes feels betrayed by classmates who she has seen at anti-Israel rallies in recent days. They were welcomed by ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt, who pointed out the nearly 400 percent increase in antisemitic incidents since the terrorist massacre by Hamas, and ADL Senior Director for Advocacy Shira Goodman who talked about the role that everyone in the ADL community can play to support Jewish students and others facing antisemitism and anti-Zionism by speaking out and taking action.

ADL Lifts Ambassador Lew: In the days following the Hamas massacre, ADL prioritized the need for speedy confirmation of an ambassador to Israel. The nomination of Jack Lew to that post had been one of several key ambassador nominations that were being held up due to disagreements in the Senate. ADL engaged thousands of supporters from our dedicated community to contact their Senators to urge an immediate confirmation. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee then scheduled a hearing, during which the Lew nomination was advanced, and a swift floor vote was then scheduled. ADL's volunteers continued to urge confirmation, and on Tuesday, Jack Lew was confirmed as the new U.S. Ambassador to
Israel. →

International Incidents: Reports of antisemitic incidents are up in many countries. In the most alarming recent incident this week, hundreds of rioters stormed an airport in Russia, looking to attack Jews who had arrived on a flight from Tel Aviv. Our International Affairs team has tracked reports of antisemitism in the past few days in France, Austria and Sweden as well. Visit this frequently updated blog for statistics and incident reports covering hate targeting Jewish and Israeli people and institutions worldwide.

Chaos on Campus: On October 25, students at more than 100 U.S. college campuses staged walkouts demanding an end to U.S. aid to Israel and that their institutions divest from weapons companies allegedly involved with Israel. Some events included language that condoned and/or praised Hamas’ actions, promoted the destruction of Israel as we know it, and called for the exclusion of “Zionists” from public life on campuses. The vast majority of the rallies were nonviolent, but in at least one case (at NYC’s Cooper Union) anti-Israel protesters aggressively confronted and harassed a group of Jewish students.

Take Action Today

In the aftermath of the terrorist attack by Hamas against Israel, anger over the Israel-Hamas conflict is fueling hate on campus. Jewish students are being assaulted, intimidated and harassed because of their beliefs. Student groups like Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) have condoned terrorism and violence, glorifying Hamas’ atrocities. These groups are voicing an increasingly radical call for “dismantling” Zionism, which is a fundamental component of Jewish identity. This kind of rhetoric is dangerous and risks creating a hostile environment for Jewish and Israeli students. Join ADL in sending a message to U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona that the
Department of Education must prioritize fulfilling its commitments in the National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism to protect students from antisemitic and anti-Israel hostility.

We appreciate the @SecondGentleman and @SecCardona meeting with ADL and other Jewish orgs to address the surge in antisemitic incidents on college campuses. We urgently call on all university leaders to take action to protect Jewish students on campus.

This isn’t activism — this is intimidation and incitement against Jewish students at @Harvard. This video makes me cringe. This video makes me explode. Administrators at universities across the country need to act URGENTLY against the raging antisemitism on our campuses.

We join our French partners, @Le_CRIF, in condemning the marking of homes and businesses with Stars of David, a practice reminiscent of the Nazi era. Glad to see that police are treating this as an antisemitic hate crime and not just vandalism.

We are horrified and disgusted by the antisemitic messages threatening violence against Jewish students at @Cornell, and specifically naming the College’s Center for Jewish Living. We have been in touch with Cornell students and parents this evening who are traumatized and in fear for their safety. We thank law enforcement for responding quickly and for President Pollack’s strong statement of condemnation.

ADL has expanded Never Is Now, the largest summit on antisemitism and hate, to feature four days of powerful programming to Fight Hate for Good, with general programming on March 6-7, 2024 preceded by programming by invitation only on March 4-5.
