‘I had Jewish blood on my hands,’ a Tulane student said after aiding a classmate who was assaulted at a pro-Palestinian rally

Recent days have witnessed what Jewish students and watchdog groups describe as a raft of antisemitic incidents on college campuses. Jewish students at Cooper Union in New York City sheltered in a library as pro-Palestinian demonstrators banged on the glass walls of the building. At a pro-Palestinian protest near Tulane University, at least two students were assaulted in a melee that began when someone tried to burn an Israeli flag. And anonymous posters flooded a Cornell message board with threats, prompting the school’s president to alert the FBI. “If you see a Jewish ‘person’ on campus follow them home and slit their throats,” one message said. Another threatened to “bring an assault rifle to campus and shoot all you pig jews.”

College administrators braced at the start of the Israel-Gaza conflict for an outbreak of antisemitism, Islamophobia, harassment and even violence. Free speech advocates predicted infringements on constitutional rights. Now, as the raid by Hamas against Israeli civilians gives way to wider combat in the region, those fears appear to be coming to fruition. The solemn and peaceable candlelight vigils from earlier this month preceded uglier confrontations, leaving Jewish college students feeling anxious, afraid and unsafe.

Amid what the Biden administration on Monday described as an “alarming rise” of antisemitism on college campuses, some Jewish students say they feel more vulnerable than ever before.

Sightly off topic, but has anyone heard from the Jewish actors and actresses in the Entertainment community regarding recent event? Seems to me that most of them are being oddly quiet.

Thank G-d the snotty-nosed, poison Ivy Leaguers were taught to be afraid of guns. Piece of cake.

They'll love guns when they can use them on Trump supporters.

This mob is the latest iteration of the Democrat’s BLM/Antifa street goons. Hired/bused/supported for the same reasons — to scare cowards into line and taking the knee.

This is political warfare by the left, now totally owned by the commie trash.

Look at history, Germany’s brown shirts were the same pack of animals.

“Braced” for it?
They cultivated it. Can’t complain about something that you help create and let grow.

Why the Jews keep voting for the Democrats has always been an enigma to me. IMHO it is a death wish on their part.

Imagine what will happen on college campuses if the US were to reinstitute the draft.
