Immediately after Hamas’s horrific Oct. 7 massacre, a series of antisemitic disturbances on college campuses began. This was no coincidence. The pro-Hamas mobs were too well-organized and financed—with a panoply of flags, posters and strident and provocative slogans, orchestrated by well-trained operators—to occur by chance. The “protests” were viciously racist and often resulted in violence, intimidation, vandalism and hideous hate speech directed at Jews.
Appallingly, the response from the administrations at many colleges and universities was usually tepid or non-existent. Worse still, some professors and staff either participated in or encouraged the rampage of antisemitism. Even when some colleges took action, members of their faculties defended the racist mobs and, in effect, opposed protecting Jewish students.
