New Study Reveals Significant Hostility Toward Jews and Israel Among College Students

Brandeis University research finds one-third of non-Jewish students harbor hostile beliefs, prompting universities to take action ahead of the new academic year.

Around 33% of non-Jewish college students exhibit hostility towards Jews or Israel, with 15% specifically hostile to Israel.
The study highlights a need for better understanding and handling of antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiments on campuses.
Universities are implementing new policies and initiatives to address and mitigate hostile campus environments for Jewish students.
Jewish organizations are launching self-defense and security training programs to protect students.
Efforts include banning tents and late-night rallies, and preemptive suspension of student groups involved in disruptive protests.
