Several Jewish organizations joined students at DePaul University on Thursday to demand stronger action against antisemitism, following an attack on two Jewish students earlier this month.
The protest, held in front of DePaul’s Student Center in Lincoln Park , called for justice for the victims and for the university to create a safer environment for Jewish students.The Nov. 6 incident involved two Jewish students who say they were attacked while standing outside the Student Center. According to police, the students were approached by a masked man who spoke to one of them for several minutes before punching him without warning. Another suspect joined in the attack.
"Jewish Americans are under attack simply for identifying themselves as Jews and expressing their support for Israel."The protesters argued that DePaul has ignored students’ concerns about antisemitic harassment on campus. Demonstrators criticized the university’s response as inadequate and demanded concrete actions to protect Jewish students.
