Why Ivy League Schools Get an "F" on Campus Antisemitism
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Dan Diker - According to the latest report by the Stop Antisemitism monitoring group, 55% of students surveyed report being a target of campus antisemitism. 72% report that university administrators fail to take both verbal expressions of antisemitism and threats to Jews' physical safety seriously. 55% said they hide their support for Israel, while 73% hide their Jewish identity on campus. Flagship schools such as Princeton, Harvard, Yale, and Columbia have nurtured the BDS campaign and its publicly declared goal of dissolving "apartheid Israel" and replacing it with an idyllic "Palestine." Countering the new antisemitism requires an unwavering, unconditional, and zero-tolerance policy for hate speech that frequently leads to violence against Jews.
