That doesn't seem great. 🤔

"One in five #university #students in #Britain would be reluctant to share a house with a #Jewish #student, according to research that warns #antisemitism has become “normalised” on #campuses.

A report by the Union of Jewish Students (#UJS) found that 20 per cent of students would be reluctant to live with a Jewish student, while 23 per cent have seen behaviour targeting Jewish students for their #religion or #ethnicity.

The findings come from polling of 1,000 students of all faiths and none, alongside dozens of testimonies gathered from the student body.

The report said Jewish students had described facing physical and verbal abuse, social ostracisation and widespread #antisemitic attitudes on campuses."

"[T]he data make clear that #Jewish #students are still experiencing #antisemitism on their #campuses,” #AJC Vice President #LauraFrank stated in a news release.

Published Tuesday, the survey found that 42 percent of Jewish students said they have experienced antisemitism on #campus.

Additionally, 25 percent said “they have felt or been excluded from a group or an event on campus because they are Jewish.”

Self-censorship also is a problem with 38 percent saying they don’t share their views about #Israel on campus. This is despite nearly 70 percent saying Israel is important to their Jewish identity.

Meanwhile, one in three said they “avoided displaying their Jewish identity due to fear of antisemitism.”

"Since #Hamas’ #October7 #terrorist attack, many #Jewish #faculty at #colleges and #universities across the country have been describing their professional lives in language more commonly associated with #trauma than #academic disagreement. In a nationwide #survey of more than 200 Jewish-identifying #US-based faculty conducted between April and July of 2025 by the #AcademicEngagementNetwork (#AEN) and the #AntiDefamationLeague (#ADL), respondents spoke of fear, isolation, and a loss of belonging on their own #campuses.

One Jewish faculty member starkly described the experience: “I’m being attacked online…I have been ostracized by faculty in a smear campaign. I have been advised…not to come to #campus…this is as bad as it gets.” Another shared, “faculty are not talking to me because they know I’m a #Zionist.” And another participant confided, “I am being attacked in all directions, and I no longer feel safe on campus.”

And these aren’t isolated incidents."

"#Jewish life tends to move through cycles of suppression and reverence.

The #UnitedStates is now experiencing a rise in #antisemitism that many #immigrants from the former #SovietUnion find painfully familiar. Acts once considered rare have become common. #Synagogues face #vandalism. Jewish #students report harassment on #campuses. Online networks spread conspiracy theories that echo old prejudices. And certain #media figures hint at “global agendas” or “hidden influence,” careful with their wording yet unmistakable in their implications. Their audiences are large, the scrutiny limited.

To someone seeing these trends for the first time in their own community, they can come as a complete shock. But while these developments are unsettling, they are not the full story.

Jewish history is long."

"The #US Commission on #CivilRights has scheduled a #bipartisan public briefing on Feb. 19 “to investigate the increase in #antisemitism on #America’s #college and #university #campuses.”

The #investigation is being led by commissioners #PeterKirsanow, a #Republican lawyer from #Ohio appointed to the commission by former U.S. President George W. Bush, and #MondaireJones, a #Democrat and former congressman who represented #NewYork’s 17th District."
