Campus Antisemitism: Students Speak Out and Seek Solutions

Nine college students testified before U.S. lawmakers about the rise in antisemitism on university campuses, sharing harrowing stories of harassment and discrimination since the Israel-Hamas war began. They urged action to combat physical violence and online harassment, with one student calling for federal intervention to prevent the spread of hate. Lawmakers, including Harvard alum Rep. Elise Stefanik, expressed concern and emphasized the need for accountability to address the issue. The discussion also highlighted the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel, with silent protestors at the event symbolizing U.S. lawmakers' alleged complicity in Palestinian civilian deaths.
