STUDY: college antisemitism increasing in 2016

A new study shows antisemitism and suppression of speech incidents are increasing on college campuses.

AMCHA, a non-profit organization dedicated to investigating and documenting antisemitism on college campuses, has reported on incidents of antisemitism at more than 100 public and private schools so far in 2016.

During the first half of 2016, there were 100 more incidents of antisemitism on college campuses than in 2015. Between January to June of 2016, 287 antisemitic incidents were reported at 64 schools, which is a 45 percent increase from the first six months of 2015.

The study also found that suppression of speech incidents nearly double from 2015 to 2016. These incidents included the suppression of Jewish students’ speech rights and hindering their assembly. Fourteen incidents of suppressing Jewish student speech were documented at 15 campuses in 2016, while eight incidents at seven campuses were reported in 2015.

“Anti-Zionists are attempting to harm, alienate, and ostracize Jewish students; it is Jewish students’ civil rights that are being trampled,” stated Leila Beckwith, AMCHA co-founder and one of the study’s lead researchers.

AMCHA traces these incidents back to anti-Zionist organizations such as Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) and Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). The mere presence of BDS groups on campus caused the likelihood of antisemitic incidents to double, while with SJP, antisemitism was eight times more likely to occur, and with faculty boycotters, antisemitic acts were six times as likely.
