Investigation Launched into Antisemitic Rally at University of Maryland
The University of Maryland is investigating a pro-Palestinian rally organized by Students for Justice in Palestine after students reported antisemitic messages, including "Holocaust 2.0," written in chalk on campus walkways. Witnesses also heard calls for an "Intifada." The university condemned the offensive actions and launched an immediate investigation, with Maryland law enforcement conducting threat assessments. The Anti-Defamation League and Jewish groups issued a joint statement condemning the rally. Students for Justice in Palestine has faced suspensions and loss of recognition at other universities for its support of Hamas and its call for the elimination of Israel.
