On CNN with Wolf Blitzer, AJC CEO Ted Deutch sets the record straight about how terror-supporting students and outside agitators have created a hostile environment for Jewish college students.
AJC Atlanta is pleased to announce that we are now accepting applications for Leaders for Tomorrow (LFT), our award-winning high school leadership development program.
Since Oct. 7, students and faculty on college campuses around the country have been expressing blatant support for Hamas terror tactics, advocating for excluding Zionists from campus spaces and chanting antisemitic slogans. But in recent weeks we have seen an alarming escalation from deeply problematic and hateful speech to chaotic disruptions to threats of violence.
In March, demonstrators barged into a Columbia Law School luncheon for admitted students, chanting virulently anti-Israel and abusive rhetoric. The school administrators present did not object or call campus security.
Jewish student leaders at the University of North Texas recently planned a walk on campus to amplify the plight of the 133 Jewish, Muslim, Christian and Hindu hostages — including six Americans — still being held captive by Hamas terrorists. While there, I didn’t see any signs for Israel Week programming (of which the walk was the kickoff event). I was told they had been snatched almost as soon as they had been placed.
AJC's Voices Against Antisemitism is a series videos featuring American Jewish celebrities and influencers, reckoning with the impact of Hamas’ October 7 massacre, the rise of anti-Jewish hate, including in the form of anti-Zionism, in the U.S., the hostages being held in Gaza, and why Israel is critical to the Jewish people.
