Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu strongly condemned the ongoing pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses in the United States, characterizing them as “antisemitic mobs” that specifically target Jewish students and faculty members.

Protests demanding a halt to the Israel-Hamas conflict have erupted on various college campuses in the United States in the past few days, leading to arrests, student suspensions, and increased police presence.

In a statement released on Sunday, protest leaders expressed their frustration with the media’s focus on individuals who do not represent their cause. They emphasized that their members have been wrongly identified by a politically motivated mob, leading to further misunderstandings and misrepresentation.

“We adamantly oppose all forms of hate or prejudice and remain vigilant against any non-students who try to disrupt the unity being built among students,” they emphasized. “Our community includes individuals of Palestinian, Muslim, Arab, Jewish, Black, and pro-Palestinian backgrounds, representing the rich diversity of our nation.”

According to Netanyahu, there is currently a significant increase in the prevalence of antisemitism in America and Western societies. He emphasizes the need for school administrators to take stronger measures in response to this alarming trend.

“It is absolutely unacceptable and must be put to an end. It needs to be denounced without any ambiguity,” he expressed. “However, that is not what occurred. The reaction of numerous university presidents was disgraceful.”

“We’ve witnessed throughout history that acts of antisemitism have been preceded by the spreading of false and slanderous lies about the Jewish people, which may seem unbelievable, yet have been believed by many,” he later emphasized. “It is crucial for all of us – those who value and cherish our principles and civilization – to unite and declare that we have reached a point where we can no longer tolerate this.”

The Israeli government shared a video of the Columbia protests on the social platform X, labeling the demonstrators as “terrorists” who openly endorse terror.

School administrators are currently navigating the delicate balance of allowing students to express themselves freely while also ensuring the safety and inclusivity of their campuses.

Columbia University and its administration found themselves in the national spotlight recently when hundreds of students took over the campus center. Their demands included a cease-fire and the suspension of U.S. military assistance to Gaza. In response, university officials called in New York police officers who arrested over 100 student demonstrators, further exacerbating the already tense situation.

Columbia President Minouche Shafik is currently under pressure from various groups, each demanding her resignation for different reasons. Some assert that her efforts to suppress the protests are excessive, while others argue that she has not taken sufficient action.

There have been concerns regarding the safety of Jewish students in light of a recent call from a campus rabbi, urging them to return home before the start of the Jewish holiday of Passover on Monday. In response, the school has decided to implement a hybrid learning approach for the rest of the semester.

Rep. Ilhan Omar’s daughter, Isra Hirsi, was one of the individuals taken into custody last week. During an interview on MSNBC, when asked if she thinks the protests and encampment have caused discomfort, she expressed that it has created a “very community-centered space.”

FBI Director Christopher Wray emphasized the collaborative efforts between his agency and colleges and universities to address threats on campus. While the FBI does not directly monitor college protests, it proactively shares relevant information with educational institutions to ensure awareness of potential risks.
