[IsraelTimes] Adding to growing trend, anti-Israel demonstrators, some wearing pro-terror symbols, accuse Jewish campus group of backing ‘genocide’
Pro-Paleostinian, anti-Israel student groups at Baruch College staged a protest against the school’s Hillel on Wednesday, accusing the Jewish campus group of murdering children and supporting fascism and "genocide," in a rally decried by a Jewish faculty group as antisemitic. The demonstration — in which protesters scuffled with pro-Israel counter-protesters and were arrested — appeared to be the first across the City University of New York system that directly targeted Hillel, which has historically served as the main address for Jewish student life and ritual.
It’s one of a growing number of anti-Israel, pro-Paleostinian actions at universities across the United States to target campus Hillel chapters. It comes after a Hillel event at Baruch was canceled due to protests last month. |
