The Department of Education is conducting new antisemitism investigations at American University, where a civil rights complaint alleges antisemitic discrimination, including an incident where someone was called a ‘Zionist Pig!’. Representative Haley Stevens expressed concern for the safety of Jewish students at her alma mater. Rutgers University's Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter, described as 'clowns in masks spewing hate', was reinstated despite significant controversy and 'Zionist pressure'. The group, which has been accused of campus hate activities, released a 'terrorist-like' video, masked like Hamas, demanding the university cut ties with Israel and establish an Arab cultural center. Their actions, which included disrupting classes and intimidating Jewish students, have led to calls for their expulsion and criticism for the university's failure to act decisively. The U.S. Education Department has also announced antisemitism investigations into San Francisco and Oakland school districts, and there are reports of similar issues at the University of Minnesota. Additionally, Columbia University's Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace remain suspended as the new semester begins, with allegations of them publicly calling for Jewish genocide. Rutgers SJP has been accused of justifying the rape, murder, beheading, and kidnapping of 1,200, including Americans, and sympathizing with terrorists. The group also faces criticism for demanding Rutgers divest from 'Israeli settler colonialism'.
The complaint details a series of distressing incidents, including assault, threats, harassment, and intimidation, occurring in dormitories, classrooms, and various campus spaces. #antisemitism https://t.co/ZxuVy0Rprh

Just one day after being reinstated, the Rutgers SJP was openly justifying the rape, murder, beheading, & kidnapping of 1,200 — including Americans. @RutgersU has a responsibility to protect all its students from this dangerous rhetoric that sympathizes with terrorists. https://t.co/dSzi0ueDyf

I apologize for my language in advance, but this is something we can't keep in anymore. The Presidents of @Columbia University and @BarnardCollege don't give a fuck about their Jewish and Israeli students, faculty, or staff. (a short thread to explain this strong statement)
