The White House said Monday it is trying to combat an 'alarming rise' of antisemitic incidents at schools and colleges as President Biden faces pressure to push back on pro-Palestinian chants and protests viewed as attacks on Jewish people or Israel's right to exist.
Jewish Rutgers University’s students and members of the community gather holding placards to hold solidarity and vigil for Israel on Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2023, in New Brunswick, N.J.
“For the first time, this intake process will make it clear in the complaint form that discrimination on the basis of national origin in federally funded programs or activities — including ethnic or ancestral slurs or stereotypes against students who are for example Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, or Hindu — are forms of prohibited discrimination under this law,” a White House fact sheet said.
Mr. Biden faces pressure to speak out about antisemitism after student groups at Harvard University and other institutions blamed Israel for the Oct. 7 terror attacks by the Palestinian militant group Hamas that killed more than 1,200 in southern Israeli towns.
