Anti-Semitic incidents, including threats and violence, have been increasing on college campuses and beyond. Federal charges were filed against a Cornell University student who threatened to kill and injure Jewish students. Jewish students at Cooper Union were locked in their library during a pro-Palestinian protest that turned into an anti-Jewish rally. Anti-Semitic incidents have seen a significant spike since Hamas launched its recent terrorist attack, with a nearly 400% increase compared to last October. The Biden administration has taken actions to combat the rise in anti-Semitism, including working with state, local, and campus law enforcement and holding meetings with Jewish leaders.
