The letter cited a study that said 73 percent of Jewish college students surveyed experienced or witnessed antisemitic incidents on their campuses since the start of the 2023-24 school year.
The letter cites an ADL study that conflates antisemitism with anti-Zionism and doesn’t differentiate attacks on someone for being Jewish from valid criticism of Israeli apartheid. I’m not entirely clear how they reach their 73% number unless it’s the summation of several categories. If we remove Israel from the equation, there’s still a large percent, >40%, experiencing antisemitism and that’s not okay. I do think there’s something to look at here, given that the number of Jewish students feeling safe actively declined. I also think everyone will continue to conflate criticism of the Palestinian genocide with bigotry.
