Jewish Groups Launch Initiative to Cooperate with Cops Against Anti-Genocide Students

University leaders must take greater measures to keep Jewish students safe. @ADL’s @SJGoodman shared with @J_Insider how we expect to see, “renewed efforts on these campuses and across the country to disrupt campus academic and extracurricular activities.” https://t.co/kydZyc1JW0

Is this legal?

Who thinks this is legal?

This cannot possibly be legal.

It almost seems like Jews are above the law.

Because of the pile of shoes?

New York Post:

Two organizations said Thursday they’ve launched an initiative to increase security for Jewish students on campus this fall.

The move comes on the heels of a House of Representatives committee report that none of the students arrested after breaking into and occupying a Columbia University building during anti-Israel demonstrations this spring has been expelled by the Ivy League outpost.

The nation’s campuses have been rocked by protests and tent-city “encampments” leaving Jewish students threatened. A federal judge this month ordered the University of California, Los Angeles, to maintain equal access to the school’s campus for Jewish and non-Jewish students, blasting the school for saying it had “no responsibility” to protect the religious freedoms of Jewish students.

…

Two groups — Secure Community Network and Hillel International — are out to change that. They said the “Operation SecureOurCampuses” effort will help “fortify” campus security in the face of anticipated protests as classes begin.

The campaign will include full-time intelligence analysis of campus developments, consultations on security and emergency plans and procedures, and “enhanced cooperation” with law enforcement to safeguard centers of Jewish life on and near campus.

Well.

Okay.

That is somewhat concerning.

As students gear up for the new school year, excitement is mixed with concern following last year’s rise in antisemitism in schools and on college campuses.
