(THECOLLEGEFIX) — ewish college students saw their speech suppressed and suffered civil rights violations on campus in greater numbers in the first half of 2016 than the first half of 2015, according to a new report by a pro-Israel campus organization.
The mid-year study by the AMCHA Initiative, tracking anti-Semitic incidents on 113 college campuses with the highest Jewish undergraduate populations, found nearly 100 more total incidents from January through June than the same period last year.
Most of the suppressed-speech incidents involved pro-Palestine activists and members of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapters, according to AMCHA’s anti-Semitism tracker.
