It's a one-sided approach when claims of antisemitism are taken seriously and even amplified, while incidents of anti-Palestinianism are routinely ignored or dismissed. I think it's a prejudice ingrained both in US media and at US universities. Maybe because Jews have a much larger established presence and foothold in the American establishment. There are roughly 7 million Jews in the USA compared to just under 200,000 Palestinians. And most Palestinians are recent arrivals, still getting established, having come here only in the last few decades.But there has been one report of a violent assault against Jewish students at Ohio State University, linked. Not the norm, but it happened.
