Recent data from the Combat Antisemitism Movement shows that almost 80% of recent antisemitic incidents came from individuals who identify as far left. 

The Combat Antisemitism Movement monitored 127 antisemitism incidents from the past week and according to their data, 101 of those incidents were done by the far left. 

“Antisemitism on campuses persists, as the most recent ARC data highlights,” the CAM put out in a press release. “More than one in four antisemitic incidents in the United States recorded this week – 14 out of 49, or 28.6% – occurred at a college or university.”

Almost 8% of the antisemitic incidents were done by Islamists and 6.3% were done by the far right. 

“As the FBI’s latest statistics demonstrate that antisemitic hate crimes surged to an all-time high last year, utilizing the IHRA definition to recognize and combat anti-Jewish hatred and discrimination is more important than ever,” the press release continued. 

The release highlighted that universities such as Columbia University have updated their anti-discrimination policies to prohibit harassing Jewish students over Zionism.
