Binghamton, NY – U.S. Rep. Marc Molinaro (NY-19) released a statement regarding the rising concerns of antisemitism on the Binghamton University campus. Reacting to a NY Post article, Molinaro highlighted the challenges Jewish students are facing at BU and universities nationwide.
“This new report on Binghamton University unfortunately isn’t unique right now. Jewish students at BU and universities across the country are not free to be themselves without fear of bullying, academic retribution, or physical threats," expressed Molinaro.
Molinaro also pointed out the influence of groups like ‘SUNY BDS’ on campus, stating, “Adding fuel to the fire, unsanctioned groups like ‘SUNY BDS’ are taking cues from the international Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, promoting lies and antisemitic tropes on campus."
In response to these concerning developments, Molinaro emphasized the need for action, saying, “There must be sustained pressure to force these groups off campus, more support for Jewish students, and harsh penalties for any student or faculty promoting antisemitic causes. This must end."
