At Columbia University, there was a call for the end of Jew hatred as Jewish students say they are frightened by displays of antisemitism and anti-Israeli rhetoric.
As Israel continues its attacks on Gaza from the air, students protested at several colleges in New York City over the crisis in the Middle East, some in support of Palestinians, and others supporting Israel.
"I've stopped wearing the Jewish Star of David because I'm afraid," said Columbia student Noah Cajina. It's part of a larger effort at campuses around the country. Close to a thousand people did the same at NYU. "Of course, no one likes violence on both sides, but it's obvious that there is a clear genocide going on against Palestinians," the student said. "So that is why we march today."
