(Jewish Group) New Instagram account shares anonymous stories of anti-Semitism on college campuses



A graduate student’s Jewish facial features mocked. A classmate saying Jews play the “minority card” to get into college. Swastikas drawn on the doors of Jewish students’ dorm rooms.

These are some of the stories shared on a new Instagram account, Jewish on Campus, which collects the anonymous anecdotes of Jewish students across the country who have experienced anti-Semitism in college.

Since it was created in early July, the page has garnered nearly 13,000 followers with more than 130 stories posted, recounting everything from a professor who teaches anti-Semitic canards to a mezuzuah repeatedly being ripped off a dorm room’s doorframe.

The page’s creators say they want to “provide a safe space for Jews of all backgrounds to speak up against anti-Semitism on college campuses,” conveying the breadth of anti-Jewish sentiment on campuses nationwide and showing that colleges and universities have not done enough to address it.

Shhh...keep this quiet. Some get triggered when confronted when anti-Semitism is being discussed.

For daring to quote a supposed Democrat's own foul antisemitic statements.

Apparently antisemites are OK if they have a "D" next to their name.

At least David Duke is no longer a Democrat, or I suppose we'd have to support him, too.
