NewsNation has confirmed that a rabbi at Columbia University and Barnard College internally warned students Sunday to leave the campus because of "extreme antisemitism."

Pro-Palestinian student protesters at Columbia continued to occupy part of the campus lawn after several were arrested Thursday.

Students at several other universities are planning rallies in solidarity with the Columbia University demonstrators.

Jewish students participating in pro-Palestine protests on their campuses would have valuable things to say about the alleged “rising antisemitism” at their schools. But the media is ignoring them.
