Jewish New Yorkers Rally outside Columbia to Remind Students They’re Not Alone: ‘Crying for Our Country’

New York — Dozens of Jewish New Yorkers and their allies gathered outside of Columbia University Monday afternoon to show the Jewish students who have been harassed in recent days by anti-Israel protesters that they are not alone.

Pro-Israel demonstrators carrying Israeli and American flags said they were shocked by how quickly the elite New York City college — and surrounding neighborhood — have descended into a hotbed of antisemitic activism.
