The Tsunami of Campus Jew-Hate
The individual incidents obscure the scale of the phenomenon
I’ve known that the problem of campus Jew-hate was bad since at least 2015, which was when I began to track it seriously. That tracking led to my co-producing, with Doron Ben-Atar, the 2018 volume Anti-Zionism on Campus: The University, Free Speech, and BDS, which attempted to document the phenomenon both quantitatively and qualitatively. Though the reality that that book documents seemed awful at the time, it seems quaint in comparison to today. I think this truly instantiates the “frog in slowly heating water” scenario—too many people simply did not see or understand how serious the problem was and was becoming, until, post October 7, the water was fully boiling.
Earlier this year I independently published a two-volume collection of my writings that amounts to a kind of update to the 2018 book. Called Israel Breathes, World Condemns, the two volumes document and analyze both the trajectory that led to the large-scale explosion of campus Jew-hate on and post the October 7 massacre, as well as the course that explosion has taken since October 7. (Vol 1, The Trajectory, is here; Vol 2, The Aftermath, is here.) Trigger warning: it does not always make for pleasant reading. The title of one of the essays in the collection—“When You Realize Nearly Everyone in Your University Wants You Dead”—gives you the idea. Full-frontal truth is not always pleasant, but it is, I think, nearly always necessary. So, no, I’m not much fun at parties, but given that, as an unabashed Jewish Zionist on a typical liberal arts campus, I don’t get invited to parties anyway, I’ll take on the uncomfortable role of being the unpleasant teller of the truth, or at least the truth as I see it.
Hiding one’s head in the sand does have its advantages, but I suppose I prefer to see what’s coming—or, in this case, with the recent murders and attempted murders of Jews in Washington DC, Boulder CO, and elsewhere, what’s already here. Don’t just take my word for it—at least go read the books themselves—but there’s a straight line from what’s been happening on campuses for the past decade and more and those attacks.
To give you a sense of just why I have this admittedly dark perspective, know that for many years I have served as the Campus Bureau Editor for the Algemeiner, a terrific news source focusing on Israel/Jewish matters. (Sign up there for the free daily newsletter with the most important stories of the day!) In that capacity I have kept a close eye on the campus scene, scouring the internet for the stories and incidents and receiving tips and info from various sources. Before October 7 I was generating perhaps 10-15 possible stories per day; after October 7 that number probably tripled. They’re not all bad news: there are wins in there, positive developments, along the way. But it’s mostly bad news, and sometimes very very bad news. When you follow the campus scene closely, and see what they are actually saying and doing, it’s hard not to reach the conclusion that while there may not be a majority, there is a substantial and very vocal minority of students and faculty on many major campuses who really do want you dead—and that most campus bystanders and most of all most campus administrators were perfectly willing to let them say and do those things.
I share below my list of stories merely from April and May of this year. Know that in my limited capacity this is surely only a partial list of what’s happening, and yet it’s already a lot. It’s important to study some of the major incidents, in their details, in the lawsuits for example. But it’s also important to take in the scale of the phenomenon, the sheer number of stories, small and large.
The situation is dire. One may not be the sort capable of handling the truth—but it’s better to handle the truth before the truth handles you.
It’s all hands on deck for Jews in America.

California State Polytechnic (Cal Poly), Humboldt: The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) last week opened an investigation into a complaint filed by The Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law and Jewish on Campus against California State Polytechnic (Cal Poly), Humboldt. The organizations allege that the university is in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by cultivating a campus environment that allowed for the verbal and physical harassment, exclusion, and abuse of Jewish students.“Not only did the Cal Poly administration refuse to prosecute brazen, violent acts of anti-Semitism, but they allowed their students to be victimized over and over, offering them nothing but a callous disregard for their continued harassment,” said Hon. Kenneth L. Marcus,
StandWithUs doing research focus groups with Christian students who support Jews: Christian college student leaders from Christian and non-Christian universities throughout the United States recently participated in research focus groups.

**Toronto: Canada's largest school board (@tdsb), which serves 250,000 students across nearly 600 schools, has just formally recognized "anti-Palestinian racism." Trustees and senior leaders across the board are now required to take a course on "the erasure of Palestinians in school life," and to develop a concrete plan to address APR through the board's Anti-Hate Strategy. As I wrote for the @globeandmail last year, this means that it's now "...conceivable that a young student wearing a Star of David around his or her neck, a kippah on his head, or an Israeli flag on their backpack, could be accused of being anti-Palestinian – or more broadly – racist." We all know that anti-Muslim hate and bigotry is a real and very serious issue - but many fear - and rightfully so - that APR will be used not to elevate or protect Palestinian voices - but to silence Jewish ones.

Activists left behind signs accusing school officials of being “aphids,” a reference to pests that feed on crops—while claiming the ladybugs symbolized resistance.

The Biden administration failed to act on nearly 200 anti-Semitism complaints, even as anti-Semitic sentiment surged across the United States following the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war, according to a senior Trump Education Department official. More than 150 of the unresolved complaints were filed after Hamas's Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack, which killed nearly 1,200 Israelis and triggered the war. Instead of investigating the spike in anti-Semitism, the Biden Education Department's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) redirected limited resources to cases involving pronoun usage and "bans" on age-inappropriate school books, the official told Fox News.

Columbia: The Office of Institutional Equity accused Palestinian student activists Maryam Alwan, GS ’25, and Layla Saliba, SSW ’25, of discriminatory harassment in a January disciplinary notice for their alleged participation in writing an October op-ed published by Spectator, as well as for contributing to two Instagram posts on the Columbia Palestine Solidarity Coalition account. The op-ed is signed by CPSC and does not name individual students as signatories. The op-ed and Instagram posts included calls for the School of General Studies to restrict the admission of students who served in the Israeli military, demanding on Instagram that the University “end the pipeline of IOF soldiers who kill our friends and family in Palestine and then harm us on campus.”

Columbia: plans for new pro-Hamas encampment this week
Columbia: strong indications that pro-Hamas are planning another encampment this week; Columbia Public Safety sends message to everyone affiliated with campus: “Dear members of the Columbia community, We have been made aware of possible plans to establish encampments on Columbia's campuses. We want to clearly communicate that camping and encampments on Columbia's campuses are prohibited by University Policy. Our University Rules and Policies prioritize academic activities and communal use of campus space. A more detailed explanation of how an encampment as a form of protest runs the risk of serious violations under the Rules of University Conduct can be found here. University Response to Encampments If encampments or tents are established on University property, Public Safety will take the following actions: Public Safety will immediately take steps to remove tents or other structures and remove them from the area; Access to affected areas will be restricted, and the University may implement additional restrictions to campus access; participants will be instructed to disperse. Individuals who refuse to disperse will be identified and sanctions, including potential removal from campus and possible arrest, may be applied.

UMass Amherst Uses Institute for Holocaust, Genocide and Memory Studies (IHGMS) to Promote Anti-Israel Hate Agenda by sponsoring anti-Israel symposium
This symposium represents a disgusting betrayal of the very principles the Institute for Holocaust, Genocide, and Memory Studies was founded to uphold. Instead of honoring the memory of the Holocaust and educating about real genocides, UMass has allowed its platform to be hijacked by individuals who weaponize Holocaust memory to vilify the Jewish state and promote dangerous, false narratives. Equating Israel with genocidal regimes not only distorts history—it desecrates the memory of victims and emboldens modern antisemitism. This is not scholarship; it is moral inversion and academic malpractice.

U of Colorado Boulder: tho SJP was banned last fall for breaking rules, it continues: The university decided to remove the group following a protest on October 3, 2024, when SJP disrupted a job fair at the University Memorial Center by shouting at students, faculty, and businesses, as well as labeling several organizations as “horrific” for supplying weapons to Israel. This event marked a turning point for CU SJP’s anti-Israel protests. Despite being derecognized and having two students expelled for their activities, the now unsanctioned group has continued its activities, facing little consequence. Throughout the fall semester, they hosted numerous controversial speakers and workshops. The most significant display of antisemitism occurred on November 1, 2024, when hate speech was spray-painted across campus grounds. The graffiti included phrases such as “Fuck Israel” and “Stop Genocide.”

Those who accepted the dismissal deal will not have a criminal record; those who did not accept will have to reappear in court for further hearings that could result in trial and conviction.

The New School: Civil rights antisem lawsuit filed: On April 8, 2025, the Dhillon Law Group, in partnership with StandWithUs Saidoff Legal, filed a lawsuit in federal district court seeking redress for New York's The New School’s wanton mishandling of antisemitic harassment on its campus. The lawsuit alleges that in December 2023, anti-Israel agitators blocked and physically shoved a student out of a university building under the mistaken perception that the student was Jewish and therefore a “Zio.” The agitators subsequently harassed the student online with a campaign of antisemitic slurs and false accusations. Rather than take action against the harassers, The New School subjected their victim to a disciplinary investigation for months, playing fast-and-loose with its own procedures and causing serious harm to the student in the process.

U of Chicago investigating prof who had posted a sign “Deport Zionists”: “We contacted the University of Chicago after identifying a faculty member whom we believe put up a flyer outside the offices in the chemistry building—a flyer that called to “deport Zionists” and promoted other inflammatory, anti-Zionist, and antisemitic rhetoric. These actions cross a line—not only in their targeting of students based on identity and belief, but in their invocation of language historically used to marginalize and endanger Jews.

Harvard dean says unrecognized student groups are not allowed to use campus resources – which would apply to many pro-Hamas groups on campus, which use them anyway (and so far no enforcement): eg His comments come in the wake of several protests organized by unrecognized groups and at least one panel event held in a Harvard academic building by the African and African American Resistance Organization, also an unrecognized student group.

This is an exhausting and terrifying list. I wondered whether it’s possible to get your books as ebooks as well? As I am in the UK and not in the US but would be interested in reading that double volume before / after Oct 7.
Thank you, Andrew, for the devoted and exhaustive work you do.
