How pervasive is antisemitism on US campuses? A look at the language of the protests

The movement to press for an end to Israel's war on Gaza has now found itself overshadowed by its loudest voices

The protesters who seized Columbia University's Hamilton Hall on Tuesday swiftly unfurled a banner down the front of the storied building with just one word: intifada.
