Group that fights campus anti-Semitism debuts public BDS tracker

It can be a hassle keeping track of all the anti-Semitic incidents and anti-Israel activism that happens on campus.

That’s why the AMCHA Initiative has made its database of all reported incidents available to the public through a new “Anti-Semitism Tracker,” the campus anti-Semitism defense group said in an email blast Wednesday.

Users can search its records by geography, date, university and category and view visual documentation. An entire search category is devoted to boycott, divestment and sanction activity, such as anti-Israel divestment votes by student governments and professors who sign petitions supporting academic boycotts of Israel.

The database goes back to 2015. Searchable categories include physical assault, suppression of speech or assembly, harassment and “comparing Jews to Nazis,” and users can also search by keyword, such as “swastika,” according to AMCHA.

The group is also seeking out real-time reports from students who witness anti-Semitic incidents and want to send in photo and video evidence through the new tracker.

AMCHA says it has recorded just under 400 “known” anti-Semitic campus incidents so far this year, which at the current rate would put 2018 slightly behind 2017.
