Antisemitism on college campuses is rising, as Jewish students face increasing discrimination and harassment. Anti-Israel rhetoric often turns into broad condemnations of Jews, with some student organizations promoting boycotts of Israel and delegitimizing its right to exist. This behavior crosses the line into antisemitism, painting all Jews with the same brush as those who oppose the Jewish state politically.

Arianna Roise is a powerful example of standing up against this growing tide of hatred. She has been an outspoken advocate for Jewish rights and Israel, challenging antisemitic narratives and working to ensure the safety of Jewish students on campuses. Her courage in confronting these issues serves as an inspiration to others who seek to fight against prejudice.
It is crucial for universities to follow Arianna’s lead by promoting education on Israel’s history and the dangers of anti-Israel propaganda. Universities should create environments where Jewish students feel safe and proud of their identity while actively rejecting antisemitism and supporting the right of Israel to exist peacefully.
