Jewish students ‘frightened’ as anti-Semitism rises on college campuses

Cornell University alumni Kayla Bakhshi discusses the rising anti-Semitism on college campuses as Jewish students continue to receive threatening messages.

The rampant hate speech comes after Palestinian terrorist group Hamas launched attacks on Israel on October 7.

Ms Bakshi said her university never felt like a “safe and comfortable” place, but the level of anti-Semitism the United States is currently experiencing is “worse than ever”.

“It is on the rise not only in Cornell but college campuses throughout America,” Ms Bakshi told Sky News host James Morrow.

She said she now feels “almost frightened” to even mention her religion.

“Now it’s getting to a point where I’m frightened to go to class.”
