In a truly saddening but by no means unpredictable development, the AMCHA Initiative, which is a watchdog organization dedicated to investigating and combating anti-Semitism on university campuses across America, reported this week a 70% rise over the past year in anti-Semitic incidents directed against pro-Israel students on college campuses. As reported by Adam Kredo of The Washington Free Beacon, AMCHA noted a drop in “classical” white supremacist-inspired Jew-hatred targeted against Jews on university campuses, but a huge spike in Israel-related acts of harassment against Jews and other non-Jewish Zionists who stand in solidarity with the Jewish state.
The trend is hardly new, and The Daily Wire has extensively covered the years-long development of escalating anti-Semitic incidents on the American campus. Indeed, the problem has been so bad that a group wholly distinct from AMCHA but similarly dedicated to combating on-campus anti-Semitism was founded in 2015: Maccabee Task Force. The question now facing the American Jewish and pro-Israel communities is simple: How can we begin to shift the on-campus narrative away from anti-Semitism and the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement and back toward a pro-Jewish, pro-Israel stance?
