By: Bruce Robbins May 15, 2024

For over seven months, a dominant conversation in the U.S. news media has been about alleged and increased antisemitism on American campuses - culminating in the coverage around student encampments.

In this interview, AJ+ speaks to Dr. Bruce Robbins, a Jewish professor at Columbia University who supported students protesting Columbia University's investments in companies and programs that uphold Israeli apartheid and the genocide in Gaza.
