Jewish students are facing violence and abuse many have not encountered before in the wake of this month’s fighting between Israel and Hamas.

“I think the tsunami of it was what was most surprising — the rapid escalation and the vitriol of it,” said Merav Fine Braun, the Hunter College executive director of Hillel, an international Jewish campus organization. “Students, and I certainly, did not expect that.”
