A new campaign has been launched by the David Horowitz Freedom Center to combat rapidly growing anti-Semitism on college campuses in the United States. The campaign, “Jew Hatred on Campus” aims to educate the public about the anti-Semitic acts occurring throughout the nation’s colleges and universities and calls on university administrators to withdraw campus privileges from the hate groups responsible.
As one of its first initiatives, Jew Hatred on Campus has compiled a list of the 10 U.S. campuses having the worst anti-Semitic activity in 2014. Universities included in the top 10 played host to numerous incidents of anti-Jewish acts, such as Israeli Apartheid Week (a week-long event that demonizes the Jewish state); interrupting university activities by staging mock “checkpoints” on campus; campus speakers that call for the destruction of the Jewish state; and verbal or physical harassment and violence against Jewish and pro-Israel students. These anti-Semitic incidents occur on university property, often with the support of university funds, despite the fact that such behavior is explicitly forbidden under campus codes of conduct.
The top 10 colleges in 2014 cited by the group are shown in the table below. Details on why these institutions made the “Top 10” can be found at www.JewHatredOnCampus.org. The David Horowitz Freedom Center plans to contact each of the named institutions to discuss its findings and to offer assistance in helping them to rectify this serious situation. The group plans to update its analysis and publish a similar report naming the worst offenders each year.
“We made the decision to form ‘Jew Hatred on Campus’ to expose anti-Semitic student groups who support or are associated with known terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah, and which call for the destruction of the Jewish State,” said Jew Hatred on Campus founder, David Horowitz. “These activities against Jewish and pro-Israel students would not be tolerated by university administrators if they were committed against students from any other ethnic group. But because Jews are the target, they have been largely ignored. It is an obligation of university administrators to recognize and condemn acts of anti-Semitism by campus hate groups and to withdraw campus privileges and university support from them.”
The David Horowitz Freedom Center is an advocacy group that is dedicated to the defense of free societies whose moral, cultural and economic foundations are under attack by enemies both secular and religious, at home and abroad.
Launched in 2015 by the David Horowitz Freedom Center, the Jew Hatred on Campus campaign aims to educate the public on the anti-Semitic acts occurring throughout the nation’s higher learning institutions and calls on administrators to remove campus privileges and university support from hate groups.

One university that is missing here is UC Berkeley in California. The problems there, as well as on the other campuses have been going on for years now. The community, especially the Jewish community, has not wanted to see nor to acknowledge the issue. What makes things so much worse is that there is a serious case of complicity in anti-Israel/anti-semitic activities by local Hillel. Young Jewish students on campuses are being co-opted into anti-Israel activism, using methods of brainwashing, badgering, etc. in order to “turn” them. Wake up American Jewish Community and take a look at what is happening to your children, to your up and coming generation of American Jews! Stop burying your heads in the sand and calling these dire situations “free speech” or “freedom of thought or expression”. There is nothing “free” about it and your children – as well as your community — will end up paying the exhorbitant price! In the Scroll of Esther (Purim is coming next week!) Mordechai asks his niece Esther to intervene with her husband the King of the Persian Empire, on behalf of the endangered Jewish community. When she hesitates for a moment, thinking of the danger such an intervention holds, he says to her: “Think not that you will escape…more than all the Jews. For if you hold your peace at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish…” American Jews are not doing this for Israel. We will find a way to survive even without American Jews or even with an anti-semitic American Jewish community. But will you survive? Will your community survive what is going on in colleges today and what is happening to your younger generation?
the colleges should be sued with class action suits for lots of money. I amsure it can be proven that they have provided and facilitated an environment conducive to anti semitism especially through their ommission to punish the perpetrators, both faculty and students, and to cease funding those groups. some arge suits will get them on board. It looks like all the jewish lqyers that got the black their civil rights are too busy delegitimizing Jews now. New York and California have lots of jews and figure high on the list, I wonder if it is Jews doing most of the defamation, which might also be a reason for colleges not coming down hard on them? In any case both individuals and orgs need to be bombarded with suits. In the US that is very fatiguing to defend.
The US congress must defund schools supporting or condoning racism (= antisemitism).
FWIW, my alma matter is on that list, and I have asked them to comment.
