I’ve heard nothing at Columbia University that could be described as antisemitic. | |
But speaking to Jewish students on campus, they say they have heard different chants and slogans over the last six months - before the TV cameras arrived - including calls for a global intifada, which they interpret to mean Israelis and Jews should be killed. | |
One Jewish student, who didn’t want to be named, had tears in her eyes as she told me she now feels deeply unwelcome on campus. | |
The fact that an unauthorised protest is being allowed to continue makes her feel that the university authorities are on the side of the pro-Palestinian demonstrators and therefore not on the side of Jews. | |
One wall in the middle of campus has been covered with photographs of Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, and a sign saying: “Bring them home NOW!" | |
The Jewish students say that’s one thing they have never heard the protesters demand. | |
