The University of Colorado Boulder has become a hotspot for alarming antisemitic incidents that threaten the safety and dignity of Jewish students.
From hateful graffiti to disturbing intimidation tactics, the campus climate has become hostile, leaving Jewish students fearful and vulnerable. This escalating trend demands immediate action.
Recently, leaflets imitating Israeli Defense Forces evacuation orders were deliberately distributed at Norlin Library, a cruel mockery of measures intended to save civilian lives.
CU Boulder – more disruptions from the “Free Palestine” crowd taking over the library with antisemitic propaganda & flyers to simulate an IDF drill.

This act is not an expression of free speech; it is targeted harassment meant to intimidate Jewish students and create an environment of fear.
Earlier the same day, chants of “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”—a call for the eradication of the Jewish state—reverberated across campus, adding to the hostile atmosphere.
Adding to this pattern, antisemitic graffiti praising Hamas and condemning Israel’s existence has defaced CU Boulder’s campus.
Statements from academic departments irresponsibly ignore the atrocities of October 7 while distorting reality to delegitimize Israel.
It is unacceptable that Jewish students are made to feel unsafe or ostracized on a university campus—an institution that claims to uphold diversity, equity, and inclusion. Antisemitism must not be tolerated under the guise of activism.
We urge CU Boulder’s administration to take decisive steps to protect Jewish students, hold those responsible for these hateful acts accountable, and ensure that antisemitism is eradicated from campus.

I urge you to take immediate steps to protect Jewish students, hold perpetrators accountable, and reaffirm the university’s commitment to combating antisemitism. No student should feel unsafe on campus.
