A disturbing new wave of antisemitism has made its way to the University of Maryland campus in College Park.
Encampments have also sprung up at other major universities like Columbia, NYU, and the University of Michigan in the recent week.
The encampments consist of tarps, and other camping equipment set up by individuals espousing virulently antisemitic views through their displays and distributions of hateful propaganda.
The encampments have sent shockwaves through the university’s sizable Jewish community, which makes up an estimated 25% of the student population.
This latest incident comes amid a year of high-profile antisemitic incidents nationally, including campus appearances by notorious distributors of antisemitic disinformation at schools like Columbia and NYU.
