(Jewish Group) Majority of Jewish college students have witnessed or experienced antisemitism:survey

According to a new Ipsos survey, 57 percent of Jewish college students in America say they have either witnessed or experienced antisemitism.

The locations where the students said they witnessed or experienced an antisemitic incident include on campus, “at a college/university affiliated event” and “in the general public.”

Almost a third of Jewish college students said they have “witnessed or experienced” an antisemitic incident specifically on campus. That drew a stark contrast to the same question asked on non-Jewish students, with only 5 percent of them saying they had “witnessed or experienced” an antisemitic incident on campus.

In an interview with The Hill, Jewish on Campus CEO Julia Jassey said some instances of antisemitism, such as microaggressions and tropes, can be harder to identify than others.
