The Columbia student encampment protesting the university’s ties to Israel has become a flashpoint of the culture war. Doxxings from the outside have irrevocably shaped campus discourse on the Israel-Hamas war.
The troubles on Columbia University’s campus began over six months ago, long before last week’s protests. Shortly after Hamas’ October 7th attack on Israel, a box truck covered in LED screens displaying the names and photos of dozens of Columbia students started circling a pro-Palestine protest near the university’s Morningside Heights campus. The truck, paid for by the conservative nonprofit Accuracy in Media, called the students “Columbia’s Leading Antisemites.
In singling demonstrators out and targeting them one by one, the people going after students aren’t just targeting individuals; they’re trying to hobble a broader movement. Several students told me they were harassed after speaking to the press. Jonathan Ben-Menachem, a PhD candidate in Columbia’s sociology department, said he received a flood of emails accusing him of being a “self-hating Jew” after writing an essay about how he feels safe on campus.
