Report out on antisemitism in European universities. Coming soon to the US and Canada.

If you want to know what things are going to be link in the US in a few years,  look at Europep now.

From a new report by B'nai Brith International, the European Union of Jewish Students and democ on antisemitism in European universities:

Threats and physical violence directed towards individual Jewish students or staff 

In a general environment of normalized anti-Israel rhetoric and amid a growing number of antisemitic incidents, attacks targeting individual Jewish students have been among the most worrying. 

At the Faculty of Health at Toulouse-III-Paul-Sabatier University in France, the words “Sale juive crève” (“Dirty Jewess die”) accompanied by a swastika were found on a student’s personal belongings. 

A Jewish German-Israeli student was beaten by a fellow student of the Free University of Berlin (FU Berlin). He was hospitalized with facial fractures. 

The co-president of the Union of Jewish Students of Belgium (UEJB), was physically assaulted near the campus building occupied by pro-Palestinian protesters, while retrieving his car. As a passer-by tried to intervene, the assailant claimed the attack was necessary because the UEJB president was Jewish. 

Also in Belgium, at the College of Europe in Bruges, a Jewish student’s dorm room was vandalized with antisemitic graffiti and swastikas. 

On the campus of the University of Strasbourg, three Jewish students were verbally threatened, then hit and knocked to the ground by six people shouting “Zionist fascists”. These Jewish students, who are active members of the Union of Jewish Students of France (UEJF), were putting up posters calling for the release of Hamas hostages and bearing the words “No to antisemitism”. 

The Jewish Chaplain at the University of Leeds faced a targeted campaign of threats, including messages such as: “Find him and bring him to me [knife emoji]”, “Why are people not hunting him down and 3xecuting him? [sic]” and “Bros know what to do when they see this nazi Neutralise!”. As a result of numerous death threats and security concerns, police put extensive security measures in place and advised the chaplaincy family to temporarily move out of Leeds. 

That's just the beginning. The report documents how supposedly "anti-Zionist" student protests had explicit calls to violence, explicit solidarity with Hamas and its attacks on campus, calling for the destruction of Israel, treating terrorists as heroes and Holocaust inversion.

What is clear is that the pretense of a difference between antisemitism and "anti-Zionism" is disappearing. But instead of antisemitism shaming the anti-Zionists, they are starting to embrace it and normalize it. 

Which should worry everybody.
