A report from Columbia University’s task force on antisemitism released on Friday revealed disturbing details about the violent harassment faced by Jewish students on the campus of the once prestigious university following the October 7 assault on Israel. The 91-page report, based on testimony from over 500 students, revealed the extent of the antisemitic incidents, including physical altercations and verbal abuse, faced by Jewish students, especially those who are visibly observant. The hostility and violence began immediately after the October 7 assault on Israel, well before the Israeli ground war in Gaza was launched. Students testified about having their necklaces ripped off their necks and being pinned against walls.
