The article discusses the issue of antisemitism on college campuses in the United States. It argues that conspiratorial antisemitism is the driving force behind the anti-Israel protests that have been occurring. The article also highlights that the current animosity towards Israel is unique and that opposition to the country is a way for people to create their identities as virtuous warriors for justice. The author suggests that while Jew-hatred is often associated with the extreme right, Israel-hatred is prevalent among the global left. The article concludes by emphasizing the need for college administrators to take a firm stance against disruptions and protect Jewish students. [Extracted from the article]
