Nearly two-thirds of Jewish students at Columbia felt unaccepted after Oct. 7 - survey

[Beastly Boy]

Nearly two-thirds of Jewish students at Columbia University reported feeling unaccepted for their religious identity, compared to 15% of students overall, during the school year that included the Hamas onslaught that sparked the war in Gaza, according to a report this week.

Jewish students were by far the most likely to report that political conversations about controversial topics strained their relationships during the 2023-2024 school year. And they were the most likely to say that they felt pressure to conform from their classmates — rather than, say, from their professors or school administrators — about their political beliefs.

The report was the third released by the Columbia University Task Force on Antisemitism, formed amid turmoil over pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel protests at the Ivy League school in New York City. The first report, released in March 2024, focused on rules about demonstrations, and the second, in August, surveyed Jewish students about their experiences.

The new report is based on an online survey from summer 2024 that asked Columbia students from all backgrounds about their experiences in the preceding school year. The survey was conducted by the Columbia task force in cooperation with the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago.

It is remarkable how many Jewish students refuse to see themselves as legitimate targets in criticizing Zionism. A shameless display of Zionists shilling for Netanyahu!
