As Columbia reopens, fresh protests put Jewish students on edge from Day 1

Fresh protests at Columbia University have put Jewish students on edge from the first day of classes. Jewish students report experiencing antisemitism and anti-Israel rhetoric on campus, including protests, graffiti, and harassment. Despite efforts by the school to address complaints of antisemitism, Jewish students say the campus remains tense and unsafe. Last year, Jewish students at Columbia faced pressure to hide their Jewish identity and were subjected to faculty malignment and peer ostracization. Jewish student groups were targeted, and protests disrupted campus activities. Jewish students are calling for a safe and inclusive campus environment.
