Antisemitism at Columbia Again in Spotlight, Media Coverage Whitewashes CUAD Support for Terrorism
The ongoing plague of antisemitism at Columbia University was again in the headlines this week with the U.S. government’seffort to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a leading instigator of the antisemitic unrest on campus, as well as the$400 million cut in federal fundingfor Columbia over its failure to protect Jewish students, faculty, and staff.
Much mainstream media coverage of the Khalil casewhitewashesthe antisemitic and terror-supporting ideology driving the Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) coalition, for which Khalil served as aself-described“spokesman.” CUAD's history of espousing extremist and pro-Hamas views is incontrovertible, including celebrating the October 7th massacre anddeclaringan aim of fighting for the “total eradication of Western civilization."

CAM Is Hiring!
The scope of CAM’s mission fighting antisemitism across the globe continues to expand, and we are seeking skilled and motivated professionals to join our growing staff in the following roles:
The Arkansas Senate Education Committee held a hearing on Wednesday where a new bill supported by CAM — SB 352 — to address and prohibit antisemitic discrimination in the state’s public K-12 schools and institutions of higher education was presented. SB 352 requires the integration of the IHRA definition into student and employee codes of conduct, among other crucial measures.
A dozen mayors from across Alabama gathered at Selma University on Saturday for a collaborative dialogue and brainstorming forum organized by CAM on cities-oriented approaches to tackling rising Jew-hatred. A main focus was CAM’s new Municipal Antisemitism Action Index, a first-of-its-kind tool designed to assess the effectiveness of city governments in combating antisemitism and protecting Jewish residents.
Since its outreach in Latin America began four years ago, CAM en Español has emerged as a key player in the battle against Jew-hatred in the region, with a growing coalition involved in impactful activities in countries including Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Panama, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Mexico, Ecuador, and Bolivia, among others.
