Jacques Berlinerblau is a professor of Jewish civilization at Georgetown University. He has authored numerous books about the subject of secularism, including the recent “Secularism: The Basics” (Routledge).
Since Hamas’ attack on Israel on Oct. 7, and Israel’s subsequent onslaught on Gaza, American college campuses have been seized by protests as the death toll in Gaza has risen past 34,000. Jewish students charge that these demonstrations are fostering an environment rife with antisemitic rhetoric, intimidation and even violence. Congress has been eager to investigate these claims.
Muslim and Jewish students report being intimidated walking across campus. A recent unauthorized demonstration, which may have included a student affiliated with a terrorist organization, is being investigated. Many students have been suspended or placed on probation. “When people feel fear and intimidation,” sighed witness Claire Shipman, co-chair of Columbia’s Board of Trustees, “they can’t learn.” This brings us to the professors.
