This year, Jewish and Israeli college students faced down some of the most hostile environments on campus in recent memory, with dozens of incidents of extreme antisemitism — that sometimes got physical — chronicled on the pages of The College Fix in 2023.
Antisemitism always has been a problem at universities, but in early 2023, a College Fix report highlighted research showing a sharp rise in antisemitism at American colleges in the past five years.
Then the Oct. 7 terrorist attack by Hamas on Israel stirred up even more hatred toward Jews and those who support the country of Israel. A recent Anti-Defamation League survey found nearly three in four Jewish students have experienced or witnessed antisemitism on campus this year.
