GWU Jewish student Sabrina Soffer told FOX News on Saturday that fears of antisemitic violence have put Jewish college students on edge and that divisive misinformation is to blame.
Jewish students continue to fear for their safety on college campuses across the U.S. as tensions around the Israel-Hamas war rage into the fourth week, with defacements, protests and calls for the state of Israel to be eradicated emerging on several fronts. One Jewish student at George Washington University is warning that the divisive misinformation is driving the unrest, and that the cultural climate of today's antisemitism is alarmingly reminiscent of persecutions from the past.
President Dr. Ellen Granberg also condemned Hamas' terrorist attack on Israel, writing in an Oct. 11 press release, 'The extent of this brutal violence and the staggering loss of innocent lives has continued to come to light, and I am horrified and grief-stricken,' adding, 'In no uncertain terms, I condemn these acts of terrorism.' Granberg additionally called for 'coming together' during the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
