Why are Brazilian universities suffering from the wave of anti-Semitism?
Summary
Institutions committed to fighting anti-Semitism and opening balanced debates on the Middle East issue.
In the United States, renowned universities such as Columbia and New York University have experienced a very serious anti-Semitic wave. In Brazil, the number of complaints in institutions has increased by 257% (data from the Department of Community Security) since the beginning of the conflict between Israel and Hamas compared to the previous period.
Given this scenario, some measures have been implemented to prevent the situation from worsening.
“Due to the increase in cases, we created a group at Fisesp (Israeli Federation of the State of Sao Paulo) that visited the deans of different faculties to express their concerns about the physical and mental integrity of the students. In this approach , the institutions are committed to fighting anti-Semitism and sparking balanced debates on the issue of the Middle East”, explains Marcos Knobel, president of Fisesp.
“In one of the country’s main public institutions, a commission of inquiry was established to analyze every complaint, including the presence of a Jewish professor. Direct channels have also been created with the rectory for any complaints” he concludes.
