Columbia University was sued by a Jewish graduate student who claims the campus experienced an “explosion” of antisemitism since the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel.
Mackenzie Forrest, 23, claims she faced discrimination because she’s an Orthodox Jew and Sabbath observer, but the campus turned “virulently hostile” after the Hamas attack. She cited protests calling for the genocide of Jews as well as antisemitic manifestos in the School of Social Work, where she studied.
