WhatsappCampus antisemitism is highly disturbing. It’s terrifying. No one should have to go through it – especially in college like that.
5 Students Share Stories of Campus Antisemitism Post Oct. 7
It’s really heartbreaking to listen to what these 5 students have said about campus antisemitism. It’s horrifying that it’s so real. And these 5 students are just a microcosm of what has been happening on college campuses throughout the world. College should be a time for learning, growth, and building relationships. It shouldn’t be a time to defend yourself against hatred.
It’s painful to hear how hurt these students are. It’s painful to see how real it is. We hear about the antisemitism in general, but when you hear personal stories, it really hits home.
But what is so amazing is how resilient these young adults are. They are determined to keep their Jewish pride. They have no interest in hiding their identities. They want to stand up for what’s right and just in the world, and they are encouraging other Jewish students to do the same. Is it easy? Absolutely not. But they are proud Jews. It’s really inspiring to hear how they believe in turning their pain into action. The Jewish people are strong and united, and they want you and the entire world to know that.
