Abstract

A report published by the Harvard Jewish Alumni Alliance highlights the growing issue of antisemitism on American college campuses, including Harvard University. The report compiles testimonies from 50 current and former Jewish students and faculty, revealing instances of discrimination and harassment. Jewish students have reported feeling pressured to hide their Jewish identity and face verbal attacks for their support of Israel. The report also highlights the role of the Harvard professoriate and the school itself in fueling the problem. The issue of antisemitism has become more visible since the recent conflict in Gaza, with protests and statements blaming Israel for the violence. The report emphasizes that anti-Zionism and antisemitism are often intertwined, and that harassment based on one's Jewish identity is unacceptable regardless of the language used.
