Hunter College investigates and Hillel decries hateful slogans after protesters demand Jews on campus pick a side
Hunter Colleges Hillel condemned the targeting of Jewish students, and the school has conducted an investigation, after demonstrators demanded Jews pick a side at a protest on campus.
The Hillel at Hunter, which is part of the City University of New York, said that protesters at a Wednesday rally at an entrance to campus chanted a series of deeply hateful slogans, charging the Jewish campus group with complicity in war crimes. The Hillel statement added that the charge plays on age-old antisemitic tropes.
These protests reached a new level of aggression by targeting Hillel as a Jewish on campus organization, Hillel said in a statement posted on Instagram on Thursday.
A group calling itself Not In Our Name CUNY Jewish Antizionist Collective had invited Jewish activists to a protest at the location. A social media post advertising the protest called on NYC Jewish students, alumni, staff, and faculty to raise your voices.
