CU Boulder SJP posted a statement on Instagram and on their webpage in support of an attacker who had firebombed a march for the Israeli hostages held by Hamas, which resulted in the death of a Jewish elderly woman. The disturbing statement read, in part, "One year ago today, on June 1st, 2025, Mohamed Sabry Soliman took direct action against one manifestation of the Zionist death cult that we have allowed to fester in our city and our state. He hurled a molotov cocktail into the heart of the Run for Their Lives march in Boulder, striking against the colonist procession that gathers weekly to celebrate the pretext for ongoing genocide. A CASE OF CHICKENS COMING HOME TO ROOST. The colonists present at the Run for Their Lives procession each week carry posters celebrating war criminals who have served as the pretext for the systematic extermination of the Palestinian people since Operation Al-Aqsa Flood... Mohamed chose the only sane response available to a rational human being confronted with the normalization of genocide... Boulder Students for Justice in Palestine stands in solidarity with Mohamed Sabry Soliman. We condemn the eight consecutive life sentences imposed by Colorado courts early last month... We honor a man who sacrificed his comfort and his proximity to empire, willingly expending his own liberty in attaining his objective... The hatred here lies not with Mohamed, but with a [U.S.] legal order that characterizes resistance to genocide as 'terror'... Boulder Students for Justice in Palestine affirms that the Palestinian Resistance stands as the sole legitimate authority capable of delivering accountability for the genocidal actions of the Zionist entity... Call for the immediate release of Mohamed... Continue the Struggle: His act of resistance obligates us to maintain unyielding opposition against every structure that normalizes occupation while enabling genocide... Victory to the Palestinian Resistance. Freedom for Mohamed. Death to settler colonialism in all its forms."

"Whether it’s protesting against former hostages, justifying or celebrating violence, or online harassment and intimidation, antisemitism continues to embed itself into the culture of college campuses. The AMCHA Initiative has a database of over 11,900 incidents of antisemitism on over 700 campuses. This issue is much larger than three California campuses; it exists across the nation in every place that Jews do." https://t.co/DhPAfonjao
"For unknown reasons, many of these statements appear to have been deleted, but according to a report by the AMCHA Initiative, 33 academic units demanded amnesty for student protestors."

"During the subcommittee, Eveline Shekhman, chief executive officer at the American Jewish Medical Association, also testified about the pervasive antisemitism in the medical field.
She cited a 2025 peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Religion and Health that found that 75% of Jewish-identifying medical students and professionals reported exposure to antisemitism." https://t.co/1S3KsQOkE0
"[O]ver my three and a half years as a student, I found that my minority identity as a religiously observant Jew was not welcomed, and that my support of the existence of the State of Israel placed me outside the bounds of my department’s understanding of inclusion."

During Georgetown University's graduation last Thursday, at the beginning of interim University President Robert M. Groves’ speech, 25 students unfurled banners reading "Class of 2026 Demands... Divestment from Genocide," and "Jesuit GU Profits Off Genocide" and walked out of Georgetown University’s senior convocation as part of a planned disruption protest that continued with shouting and chanting nearby. According to the Hoya, protesters demanded that Georgetown University "terminate partnerships with Israeli institutions [and] divest from companies with ties to Israel." When outside, protesters continued holding banners and chanting, "President Groves you can't hide, we can see your greedy side, you get rich off genocide!" and "Disclose! Divest! We Will Not Stop, We Will Not Rest!". GU SCAR (Georgetown University Student Coalition Against Repression) released a video of the protest with a statement that stated, in part, "The student intifada will not rest!". The UC Ethnic Studies faculty council "liked" the video post.
