Amid Israel-Hamas war, students say antisemitism is ‘new normal’ at Columbia University
Jewish and Israeli students fear for their safety in a campus climate that’s dismissive of their well-being while allowing rampant, bitter anti-Israel rhetoric to cross red lines

NEW YORK — A stack of fliers caught Melissa Saidak’s eye when she walked into the lobby of the Columbia University School of Social Work in late November.
Advertising a “teach-in,” the fliers depicted three missiles targeting a Palestinian flag dripping in blood. One missile was emblazoned with the Columbia University logo, one with the American flag, and the third with the Israeli flag. Two weeks earlier, more than 50 students, some banging drums, some chanting into a megaphone, had staged a nine-hour sit-in in the school’s lobby. It was one of many such protests on campus.
