With the first anniversary of October 7 fast approaching, universities and college students are bracing for renewed anti-Israel demonstrations on campuses across the United States.
Anti-Semitism on Campuses: College Prepare for 'Week of Rage'
In particular, the National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP) is orchestrating a nationwide "Week of Rage" on campuses beginning Monday. The protests are expected to target Jewish students and organizations, as well as speakers who support Israel.
"We are expecting to see a significant increase in anti-Israel activity on campuses this fall," said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center. "The NSJP is a well-organized and well-funded group that has a history of inciting violence against Jewish students."

The NSJP is a student group that supports the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel. The BDS movement aims to pressure Israel to end its occupation of the Palestinian territories.
Jewish students have expressed concern about the upcoming protests.

"I am worried about my safety and the safety of other Jewish students on campus," said Rachel, a Jewish student at the University of California, Berkeley. "The NSJP has a history of using hateful rhetoric and inciting violence against Jewish students."
Universities are taking steps to prepare for the protests.
"We are working with law enforcement to ensure that our campus is safe," said a spokesperson for the University of Pennsylvania. "We are also providing support to Jewish students and organizations on campus."
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has released a report on anti-Semitism on college campuses. The report found that anti-Semitism is a "serious and growing problem" on college campuses.
"Anti-Semitism is a form of bigotry that has no place on our campuses," said Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the ADL. "We urge universities to take steps to address this problem and create a safe and inclusive environment for all students."
The following are some of the recommendations that the ADL has made to universities:
* Develop a clear definition of anti-Semitism.
* Train faculty and staff on how to identify and respond to anti-Semitism.
* Create a reporting system for students to report incidents of anti-Semitism.
* Provide support to Jewish students and organizations on campus.
* Partner with Jewish organizations to combat anti-Semitism.
Universities must take action to address the problem of anti-Semitism on their campuses. Jewish students deserve to feel safe and welcome on their campuses.
