In recent weeks, incidents of antisemitism have been on the rise, sparking concerns and investigations on college campuses and beyond. Fox News' "Antisemitism Exposed" newsletter brings attention to the growing wave of anti-Jewish prejudice both in the United States and around the world.

One of the top stories involves Jewish students who confronted antisemitic acts on their college campus at the University of Maryland. Students reported hearing chants calling for an "intifada revolution," along with witnessing shocking graffiti on walkways that included phrases like "Holocaust 2.0" and "F--- Israel." These troubling incidents prompted an investigation by the university, and the students received support when the institution publicly denounced antisemitism in response to the demonstrations.

In a video shared by Fox News, dozens of religious and educational organizations are urging the University of California to reject a proposed requirement for ethnic studies admission. They point to an influential faculty council's defense of the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre, in which around 1,200 people, primarily Israeli civilians, lost their lives. The council controversially portrayed the attack as an act of a "community trying to free themselves from decades-long ethnic cleansing and genocide." Many organizations find this defense deeply troubling and are advocating for its rejection.

Meanwhile, former "Saturday Night Live" (SNL) cast member Jon Lovitz has voiced his strong opinion against Senator Bernie Sanders and members of the Democratic Squad, criticizing their opposition to Israel. As a Jewish comedian, Lovitz did not hold back, referring to Sanders as a "self-loathing Jew" and calling his views "disgusting." He expressed concern over the party's shift to the left, with some members endorsing the anti-Israel Boycott, Divest, and Sanction (BDS) movement.

Drawing attention to the anti-Israel protests seen on college campuses and in city streets, experts caution that these demonstrations reflect a larger movement aimed at destabilizing the country. Chris Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, points out the similarities between these protests and the often-violent Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, suggesting they both stem from the teachings of far-left academia. Rufo argues that the rhetoric used against Jews aligns with the same hatred directed at "whiteness."

In another concerning development, a member of a Maryland task force actively combatting hate crimes has been temporarily suspended after publishing numerous antisemitic posts on social media. Among the offensive claims, Zainab Chaudry, the director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations' (CAIR) Maryland office, suggested that the babies brutally murdered in the Oct. 7 Hamas attack were "fake" and compared Israel to Nazi Germany.

These incidents and ongoing expressions of antisemitism have raised alarms among various communities. Ying Ma, an observer of American universities and the mainstream media, suggests that the proliferation of such hatred has been exacerbated by a long-standing acceptance or even endorsement of violence against supposed oppressors.

As concerns grow, it is crucial for universities, communities, and individuals to actively work towards combating antisemitism and promoting understanding and respect among different groups.
