Cornell Student Arrested for Antisemitic Threats Shakes Campus Community

Cornell University students express shock and outrage after fellow student Patrick Dai is arrested for making antisemitic threats, including promoting the murder of Jewish students on campus. Dai, a 21-year-old engineering student, posted graphic threats online against Jewish students, leading to his arrest by the FBI. Jewish students at Cornell are terrified and questioning their safety on campus. The university has condemned the threats and suspended Dai, while Governor Kathy Hochul is seeking the harshest punishment possible.
