The rise of antisemitism on US campuses has prompted a Columbia University professor to speak out about his own experiences and fears. Shai Davidai, an assistant professor of management, recently found himself crying in front of strangers while discussing the danger of antisemitism in a viral video. He expresses his grief and fear following the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel, and his disappointment in the lack of support from friends, colleagues, and his own university. Davidai recounts the abandonment he feels from those who fail to denounce Hamas’ crimes against humanity and the student organizations that celebrate the massacre. He also highlights the violent acts and threats that Jewish students have faced on campuses across the US. Davidai emphasizes the urgent need for action against antisemitism and calls on readers to contact politicians, join PTAs, write op-eds, and hold institutions accountable for their silence. He stresses the importance of unity with the Palestinian people while condemning terrorism and violence. Davidai concludes with a plea to never allow history to repeat itself and to send a clear message that Jewish lives are just as valuable as anyone else’s.
