Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denounced the | |
college protests across the US. | |
"What’s happening in America’s college campuses is horrific," he said on Wednesday, describing the pro-Palestinian protesters as "antisemitic mobs" taking | |
over "leading universities". | |
"They attack Jewish students. They attack Jewish faculty," Netanyahu said. | |
"It has to be condemned and condemned unequivocally. But | |
that’s not what happened. The response of several university presidents was | |
shameful." | |
Though the protests have largely been peaceful, there are reports | |
of increasing antisemitism on campuses, which has led the | |
White House and multiple lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to condemn the hatred. | |
Jewish students at the University of Columbia told the BBC they | |
didn’t feel safe. | |
