Concerns are growing over the safety of Jewish students at Columbia University, with multiple sources highlighting incidents of intimidation and harassment. Opinions expressed by Noah Lederman and others emphasize that while advocacy for Palestinians is supported, the resulting hostile environment for Jewish students is unacceptable.
