Jewish students at Georgetown Law School have formed a Zionist group in response to threats from classmates and from outside groups promoted by students on campus, they told Fox News Digital.
Some Jewish students at Georgetown Law School say they're facing threatening anti-Israeli rhetoric from classmates and from outside groups that are being promoted on the Washington, D.C. campus. The hostile rhetoric includes what appears to be a globally orchestrated antisemitic campaign that the students fear will incite physical violence on campus as war escalates between Israelis and Palestinians.
She and other law school students recently formed the Georgetown Law Zionists as a show of resolve in response to the threats. 'Because it's law school, people here are nuanced with their hate,' Wax said. The group is concerned that administrators have failed to publicly condemn violent, antisemitic and anti-Zionist language that is being shared by other students or shouted at events and protests promoted on campus.
Video shows protesters at the same event shouting, 'Brick by brick, wall by wall, Zionism will fall' and 'Globalize the Intifada.' An Instagram post shared by @kalidyacoub, who identifies himself as 'Georgetown Law ‘24,' says, 'If you support Palestine, understand that necessitates supporting our right to defend ourselves and liberate our homeland by any means necessary.
As a university, we have a responsibility, in this moment, to contribute to understanding, and to build pathways to peace and reconciliation,' he also said. 'We have a responsibility to one another — to provide consolation and support to those who are suffering. May we be equal to the demands of these responsibilities.' Fox News Digital reached out to Georgetown Law School for further comment. Taylor Penney of Fox News Digital contributed reporting.
