Hundreds of activists and students at Columbia University chanted “Am Yisrael Chai” Wednesday night to call for an end to hatred towards the Jewish community.

“I thought coming here with a big Jewish community, I wouldn’t experience anti-Semitism again. But the moment the war started, just people unveil themselves to you,” said Noah Cajina, a freshman at Columbia, who served in the Israel Defense Forces.

She said the last feed has been agonizing for her and her loved ones.

“I come from Israel. My family is there. My friends have been butchered, kidnapped, murdered and there are students who are celebrating that and the administration doesn’t say absolutely anything,” said Cajina.

Earlier on Wednesday, students at Columbia and at dozens more universities across the country staged a walkout, calling for an end to Israeli violence in Gaza and demanding that schools divest from weapon manufacturers arming Israeli troops.

Jewish students say they are disheartened to see an anti-Israel protest on their campus.

“There are Jews on this campus, allies of Jews and what Hamas did is unacceptable and not everyone at Columbia has that disgusting ideology,” said David Pomerantz, a sophomore at Columbia.

Organizers of the End Jew Hate rally said in a statement that antisemitism at Columbia and other universities has “reached a frightening level, and administrators are not doing enough to protect Jews on campus.”

“Shame on you. Shame on you for not protecting our students,” said former IDF member Mazi Pilip.

Since the Israel-Hamas war broke out on Oct. 7, there has been an uptick in hate crimes in the city.

According to the NYPD, there were 51 hate crimes reported last week alone. Thirty of those crimes were anti-Jewish.

“We are not going to be silent. We are going to fight for our rights. And what’s happening around this country, shame on them,” said Pilip.

Meanwhile, Israel’s military said there are now 222 hostages remaining in Gaza. Just four have been released.

Protestors said they are shocked to see support for Hamas, which is reportedly responsible for 1,400 deaths in Israel.

“I’m hopeful that through things like this, we’ll be able to keep our side in mind for once and even though it’s been two weeks, we are still counting bodies,” said Omry Hananya, a Morningside Heights resident.

Last week, Columbia’s president issued a statement saying any antisemitic or Islamophobic language will not be tolerated on campus.
