Fox News' "Antisemitism Exposed" newsletter brings you stories on the rising anti-Jewish prejudice across the U.S. and the world. IN TODAY'S NEWSLETTER: - Columbia University disciplines 70 students more than a year after violent library takeover- AOC campaign office vandalized with anti-Israel message- House resolution aims to condemn phrase that's created firestorm for Zohran Mamdani TOP STORY: Columbia University on Monday finally disciplined more than 70 students for their involvement in unruly pro-Palestine demonstrations that took place on campus several months ago, sources revealed to Fox News Tuesday. The "disruptions," which Columbia also referred to as "high-volume events," included the May 7 riots at Butler Library, an encampment during Alumni Weekend in spring 2024, and three other chaotic events in spring 2024. Disciplinary actions included probation, suspensions (ranging from one year to three years), degree revocations and expulsions. VIDEO: Squad leader Rep.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "Condemning it should be common sense, but some would rather play politics than tell the truth. The violence and hatred directed at Jewish and Israeli people is reprehensible." U.S. Rep. Rudy Yakym, R-Ind., on the anti-Semitic phrase "Globalize the intifada." - Looking for more on this topic?
