Columbia University was sued a second time by Jewish students who claim the Ivy League school had permitted “endemic” antisemitism to flourish for decades until the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel unleashed “yet another intolerable wave” of anti-Israeli abuse.
The New York campus had been “one of the worst centers of academic antisemitism” in the US, but Jewish students have feared for their safety since the Hamas massacre of 1,200 Israelis, according to the complaint. The lawsuit filed Wednesday by five students and two nonprofit groups follows a similar case last week.
