Recent events have highlighted an alarming trend of antisemitism and support for Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization, on U.S. college campuses. Reports indicate that nearly three-quarters of Jewish college students feel less safe following a Hamas attack on Israel on October 7. Incidents include a student organization at Columbia University celebrating a spokesperson for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at The New School hosting an event with Hamas' logo prominently featured. Additionally, Columbia University hosted an event that was criticized for recruiting students to join Hamas, coinciding with the Jewish holiday of Purim. The situation has prompted calls for intervention by the FBI and the NYPD Counterterrorism Bureau, and has drawn criticism from various quarters, including a condemnation of Columbia University for allowing a pro-terror event on campus.
There's something really vile about a photojournalism competition hosted by Mizzou giving first prize to this photo. It's of Hamas terrorists w a kidnapped and murdered Israeli woman. The caption focuses on the impact of the war on Gazans, tho the photo is of the Oct 7 attack. https://t.co/jbzaHe3VBR
Hey @mizzou, why is @RJI @mujschool recognizing and awarding "photojournalists" who are embedded with terrorist organizations, glorifying terrorism, and promoting blood libel and misinformation about Israel? This is absolutely disgusting. https://t.co/A8GCqVayiI
“Photo of the Year”—terrorists parading around with their handiwork: the dead body of a young Jewish woman. Of course, the photo was taken by a terrorist, as well. I hope the IDF made sure they’re no longer walking the earth. https://t.co/jNRVnpdJ68
In the weeks following Hamas' brutal attack on Israel, Jewish students and faculty faced violence and intimidation on college campuses across the US. I'm proud to join @RepRudyYakym's PROTECT Act to hold universities accountable in the fight against antisemitism. https://t.co/3w8yffJN21
On what planet is this acceptable? This photo is named the team photo of the year? This shocking graphic photo of an innocent girl who was brutally murdered and dragged through Gaza by Hamas terrorists? That’s what you consider award worthy? This is appallingly disrespectful to… https://t.co/DEkM465Da7
I am DISGUSTED. SHOCKED and ENRAGED that this @AP image - of a murdered Shani Louk z"l from October 7th was given picture of the year!!. You don't even say her name?? You don't even say that she was slaughtered by terrorists from Gaza? This is the value of Israeli women to you??… https://t.co/QF67g6l3ke
.@Columbia is a hotbed of antisemitism and pro-Hamas rhetoric. Unchecked student groups supporting the genocide of Jews and openly cheering on Hamas demonstrate exactly why the @EdWorkforceCmte is investigating the once-respected school. @Jerusalem_Post: https://t.co/jOD7AIGOlY
Open Hamas support at Columbia. https://t.co/Th8IDQQqyJ
.@NPR wrote a story about Purim — a Jewish holiday celebrating the foiling of a plot to exterminate the Jews in ancient Persia — & used it as an opportunity to portray Jews as genocidal. We’re at the point where people are now analyzing biblical stories to demonize Jews. Unreal https://t.co/ISHQ1106f0
Absolutely appalling that Columbia University allowed a pro-Terror event to take place on their campus. @Columbia, your university is being hijacked by hate. 📹: @thestustustudio https://t.co/8fSYMB0X4V

BREAKING: At Columbia, an Israeli-Designated Terror Group Teaches 'Palestinian Resistance 101'—And Lauds Plane Hijackings https://t.co/cuUB5MUj4J
Yesterday while Jews were celebrating Purim, a holiday which commemorates an evil man who sought to destroy the Jewish people but lost, @BarnardCollege & @Columbia hosted an event recruiting students to join Hamas, which aims to destroy Israel + all Jews. Yes you read that right.
HAPPENING NOW: SJP at @TheNewSchool is hosting an event entitled "Organizing Resistance," prominently featuring the Hamas logo on its flyer. Hamas is not a "resistance movement." It's a US-designated terrorist organization. Why are US college students organizing for Hamas? https://t.co/54JiFmtbOf
Nothing to see here. Just a student organization at @Columbia celebrating the spokesperson for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad - a designated foreign terrorist organizations by the U.S. Government. It's time for the @FBI and the @NYPDCT to step in. https://t.co/7c6GMtyDSE
“Almost three-quarters of Jewish college students feel their campuses are less safe now than they were before Hamas attacked Israel on October 7". This is incredibly troubling. @israelcc https://t.co/lnJm7sY0et
