Rising Anti-Jewish and Anti-Muslim Attacks on US College Campuses Linked to Middle East Conflict
American colleges have seen a surge in crimes targeting Jewish and Muslim students amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. Incidents of antisemitism and Islamophobia have been reported at various universities, prompting politicians and civil rights organizations to speak out against hate and intimidation. Several high-profile incidents are under investigation, including threats made at St. John's University and Cornell University, a hit-and-run incident at Stanford University, vandalism at Millersville University, and a possible assault at the University of North Carolina. Nonprofit organizations for Jewish and Muslim students have condemned the attacks and called for action to protect students and investigate reports of targeted incidents.
