Yesterday, the presidents of Northwestern and Rutgers universities defended their decision to negotiate with leaders of their campus' anti-Israel encampments during a Congressional hearing. These hearings made it clear that Northwestern University President Schill is unable and unwilling to protect Jewish students, and that is why CAM is calling for the Northwestern Board of Trustees to remove him immediately.
Also this week, anti-Israel activists around the globe observed "Nakba Day," which they view as a "catastrophe" marking the establishment of the State of Israel.
In the United States, two Hasidic children were brutally assaulted in Brooklyn on Sunday night. Also in Brooklyn, a pro-Hamas protest, in which a Hamas flag was waved, turned violent as activists climbed on a bus and clashed with members of the New York Police Department. In New Jersey, a hearing scheduled to discuss a state-wide bill that would have endorsed the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism was canceled following unsubstantiated “safety concerns.”
In France, police intervened after a synagogue located in the city of Rouen was set ablaze, shooting the assailant who threw a Molotov cocktail inside the main prayer room and threatened police with a knife. In Belgium, an Israeli was beaten by a mob after he removed an anti-Israel sticker from a public location. In the United Kingdom, a woman was arrested in the predominantly Jewish neighborhood of Stamford Hill for wielding a knife in a threatening manner.
