Students from Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, Hunter and the University of Chicago share their stories.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cU Chicago SJP Stands in Full Solidarity with Palestinian Liberation.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>For the first few days after the October 7 massacre, the Palestinian groups on the University of Chicago\u2019s campus were silent. But on Friday, October 13, six days after the massacre, SJPUChicago, the university-recognized club that seeks justice in Palestine, released the above statement. They were supporting the murder of Jews. They were supporting the potential murder of my parents and siblings, who live in Ra\u2019anana, only a thirty-minute drive from Gaza. They were supporting the same antisemitic motives that led to the Holocaust. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>After reading that initial statement just as I was heading out of my dorm room for Kabbalat Shabbat, I was in a state of shock. I had never seen antisemitism in this raw form before. I didn\u2019t know what to do. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, this was just the beginning. On Motzaei Shabbat, I checked SJP\u2019s [Students for Justice in Palestine] social media again:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cURGENT CALL FOR STUDENT MOBILIZATION ON THE QUAD\u2014EVERY DAY, 10AM\u20133PM, UNTIL THE GENOCIDE ENDS.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And it continued from there. On Monday, when the mobilization started, the antisemites on campus became active and things began to get intense. I woke up to a text from a friend saying his mezuzah was on the ground outside of his dorm room. As the day went on, reports went around the Jewish community on campus that posters we had put up for the hostages in Gaza were vandalized and taken down. In my friend\u2019s humanities class, the teacher (a grad student) expressed her support for SJP and bashed the legitimacy of Israel, referring to the land \u201cfrom the river to the sea\u201d as \u201coccupied Palestine.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Horrified at what was taking place, I walked over to the Quad to see SJP assembling. The sign reading \u201cIDF TERRORISTS OFF OUR CAMPUS\u201d hit me the hardest. On the morning of October 8, my close friend on campus received a call from his commander in the IDF telling him to fly back to Israel immediately. He had served in the IDF for four years before coming to UChicago in September. Despite not even knowing how to get to all of his classes yet, he packed his bags without hesitation. \u201cIt\u2019s either stay here and study but neglect my country, or fight and push off academics for a bit. . . . There is only one right answer,\u201d he said. He showed me videos of his unit getting ready to fight, and all he kept repeating was, \u201cMy team needs me, my family needs me, my nation needs me. I need to go do my duty.\u201d <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Before he left, he asked one thing of me: \u201cWhile I\u2019m out there fighting, it\u2019s on you to keep the support for Israel here.\u201d He didn\u2019t want to come back to an institution that sees him as a criminal. I assured him that wouldn\u2019t happen and that I\u2019d do everything I could. And I felt confident it wouldn\u2019t be a difficult task.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The University of Chicago tends to be more conservative than the average elite university, and the majority of the student body supports Israel. Moreover, the Jewish community on campus is stronger than most. About 10 percent of the student body is Jewish (around 800 students), and around a quarter of those attend Shabbat meals at either OU-JLIC\/Hillel or Chabad on a weekly basis. Jews at the University of Chicago tend to be proud to be Jewish, and our non-Jewish friends support us.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Since the war, we\u2019ve been forced to come even closer together. The OU-JLIC rabbi who also heads the Hillel, Rabbi Yehudah Auerbach, received a call from his IDF commander after Simchat Torah and was on a flight to Israel the next morning. Having such a strong representative of our campus on the ground in Israel has only given us more reason to fight here. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>On October 10, I set up a table on the main Quad of UChicago\u2019s campus to raise money for much-needed emergency equipment in Israel. It felt great. Everyone will condemn terrorism, right? I was na\u00efve to have ever believed that.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As of this writing in December, SJP has kept up the mobilization every day without fail. Every single day in my math class, I hear the chant \u201cFrom the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.\u201d I\u2019m ashamed to be in the same institution as these people. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The entire Jewish community on campus is hurting. Groups like Maroons for Israel, Kehillah, Chabad and OU-JLIC\/Hillel have held multiple vigils, gathered together for rallies and set up installations for the hostages on the main Quad. Despite feeling united as a Jewish community, we are pained by the antisemitism on our campus.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>What makes it worse is the lack of action taken by the administration. Despite SJP breaking school rules and calling for violence, the school has done nothing to stop them. The university clearly prioritizes the upholding of freedom of speech over having an antisemitism-free campus. It\u2019s rather unfortunate, to say the least. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Jewish students at UChicago are remaining hopeful by reminding ourselves that SJP represents only a small proportion of the student body. They are loud, they are definitely loud, but they are not nearly a majority\u2014they have only between 100 and 200 members.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The unity among the Jewish students and our non-Jewish friends gives us the strength to continue to stand strong and united. It gives me hope that I can one day keep my friend\u2019s promise. It gives me hope that the turbulent times we are living in will not yield to the same fate as that of my ancestors.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>Eitan Fischer is a first-year at the University of Chicago studying economics and philosophy.
