Campus antisemitism is a problem. Jewish students have been sounding the alarm for years, and yet our voices are too often missing from the conversation. Campus antisemitism impacts students, so shouldn’t students be leading the fight against it?

Let us be very clear: When Jewish students don’t feel safe or welcome on their campuses, in their classrooms, and in their dormitories, it is not activism, and it is not a political debate. It is antisemitism.
Over the weekend, a six-year old Palestinian-American boy was killed and his mother was seriously injured after they were stabbed by their landlord. Detectives say the perpetrator targeted the victims due to their Muslim identity and the ongoing war in Israel.
Our CEO @juliajassey and our Social Media Manager @ella_messler spoke with @jewishinsider to share the experiences of Jewish students on campus amid the ongoing war in Israel. Read more below.

As antisemitism grows, we rise above. Jewish identity is a mosaic of history, culture, identity, and life.
We are not defined by generations of hate. We are defined by generations of resilience.
Jewish on Campus is holding its first in-person event on August 13th in the East Village of NYC. RSVP is required for entry: https://t.co/GP9LmpcUJd
Hope to see you there!
No more will Jewish students be forced out of communities where they have a rightful place. No more will Jewish students feel a need to hide who they are for the sake of fitting in. No more will Jewish students need to fear for their safety within their university communities.
The history of antisemitic discrimination on college campuses never ended. It is ongoing, working as a consistent threat to the lives of Jewish students around the world. We are here to say no more.
