Antisemitic incidents increased over 900% on U.S. college campuses in the month following the Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel. Over the years, places of higher education have increasingly seen anti-Israel discourse turn into incidents of blatant antisemitism, and after October 7, 2023, many Jewish students no longer feel safe.
