The Anti-Defamation League reports more than 10,000 incidents of anti- Semitism in the United States between October 2023 and September of 2024. This is hateful, disgusting, and despicable. Nowhere is this more visible that on college and university campuses where there was a staggering 321 percent increase of anti-Semitic incidents in just 1 year. During that time, the American people watched anti-Semitic mobs rule over so-called elite universities including Columbia University, Harvard University, George Washington University, and many, many more. Not only were these demonstrations morally reprehensible but they also incited violence against Jewish students and staff.
