Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
"A new report from Harvards antisemitism task force took a different and more courageous tact: Social alienation is the central problem, and its a big one."
Israel
"It's been clear since shortly after the Israel-Hamas war began that hostility toward Israel has reached a fever pitch in progressive spaces that many Jews called home, just as compromise and civil discourse was falling out of favor."
New York, United States
"The report avoided the dramatic yet often confusing, inconsistent, and isolated accounts in a similar report from Columbia University that described Jewish students chased out of dorms, spat on, and pinned against walls."
