Earlier this week, Rep. Alexandria Ocascio-Cortez (D-NY) made an appearance with President Joe Biden at a public event in Virginia in honor of Earth Day. However, she steered the focus away from the President's strategies on environmental issues to heap accolades on the anti-Israel protests that are happening throughout higher education institutions across our great nation.

'This day underscores the incredible potential we have when we join forces - young citizens, champions of the climate cause, workforce planners, and workers from an array of backgrounds, agitating en masse for a future they're entitled to,' the congresswoman from New York put forth. 'It is particularly salient today as we appreciate the effect young people have on molding America, especially in light of peaceful protests led by diligent scholars at universities such as Columbia, Yale, Berkeley, and many more,' Ocasio-Cortez added.

Her remarks come in the wake of concerns voiced by Orthodox Rabbi Elie Buechler, who co-directs Columbia's Jewish Learning Initiative. Through a WhatsApp broadcast to upwards of 250 Jewish students over the previous weekend, he cautioned that their university was no longer a haven in light of rising anti-Semitic demonstrations.

The events that have been unfolding on and around the campus in recent days are unsettling and heartbreaking, the rabbi relayed in his message. He particularly pointed out the previous night's happenings as evidence that the university's Public Safety department, coupled with the New York Police Department's efforts, does not guarantee the security of Jewish students amidst the onslaught of heightened anti-Semitic sentiments and chaos.
