In response to severe pro-Palestinian demonstrations on campus that sparked waves of hatred, Jewish students at Columbia University wrote an open letter this month defending Israel.
The New York City Police Department ( NYPD ) marched against an anti-Israel protest camp at Columbia University, as Breitbart News  reported last week. They demanded that the university provide them with meals.
According to the report,” The New York Police Department ( NYPD ) reportedly launched a raid on Columbia University hours after the university imposed restrictions on its campus.”

In the open text released on Wednesday, Jewish individuals, many of whom signed their name, declared themselves “proud of Israel” while defending Zionism.
One of the most remarkable student characters I have ever read was only released by hundreds of Israeli students at @Columbia.
It is beautifully written, and it clearly outlines the students ‘ experience on campus over the past six months.
Their email contains a description of…

” Most of us did not choose to be democratic activists. We do n’t scream catchy slogans or bang on drums. We are just like the rest of you, just regular students who are attempting to pass the finals. The letter stated that those who demonize us while hiding our Hebrew identities forced us to engage in engagement.
After defending the concept of Zionism and” the Jewish People’s straight to personal- determination”, the letter therefore when on to describe Judaism’s link to Israel and its being a haven against anti- Semitism. In terms of anti-Semitism, the letter argues that Israeli people frequently find themselves guilty of every social wrong, regardless of their beliefs.  ,
The Jewish People are held accountable for the political wicked of the time for every generation and given the wrong reasons. We were ethnically cleansed in Iran and the Arab world because of our alleged ties to the” Zionist entity.” In Russia, we endured condition- sponsored murder and were finally murdered for being entrepreneurs. We were the victims of genocide in Europe because we were too communist and never sufficiently German.  , And now, we face the allegation of being , too , German, adorned as humanity’s worst evils – colonizers and tyrants.  , We are targeted for our opinion that Israel, our ancient and religious country, has a right to exist. We are targeted by those who misuse the term Zionist as a cleaned insult for Jew, associated with racist, harsh, or murderous. We know all too well that hatred is shapeshifting.
Israel’s support of the Jewish people was highlighted in the email because it is a republic in the Middle East that even welcomes Muslims and Christians. It concluded with a call for peace and knowledge.  ,
We came to Columbia “because we wanted to have more thought-provoking and thought-provoking interactions.” It’s never too late to start repairing the gaps and establishing meaningful relationships across political and religious divides, it wrote, despite the fact that school may currently be rife with cruel rhetoric and superficial binaries.
” Our history tells us,’ Love serenity and seek peace. ‘ , We hope you will meet us in actively pursuing peace, wisdom, and compassion. Together we can repair our campus”, it concluded.  ,
