Columbia alum Obama silent as Jewish faculty, students face antisemitic harassment on campus [Video]

The open antisemitism running rampant on Columbia University’s campus in New York City has drawn condemnation from both sides of the aisle, but one prominent Democrat and alumnus of the school is remaining silent, choosing not to speak out against the anti-Israel demonstrations taking place there.

In a lengthy Monday post on X commemorating the celebration of Passover, former President Obama, who graduated from Columbia in 1983, made no mention of protestors’ violent rhetoric aimed at the university’s Jewish students and staff, and neither he nor his representatives responded to Fox News Digital’s request for comment about the antisemitic demonstrations that have engulfed the campus since last week.

A number of other Democrats have, however, joined their Republican colleagues in denouncing discrimination against Jews at Columbia, which was forced to move all classes to virtual on Tuesday because of safety concerns.
