A person has been taken into custody for questioning by police in New York following threats made against Jewish students at Cornell University. The threats were posted on the website Greekrank by a user with the name Hamas, who specifically targeted Jewish students at the prestigious university. Governor Kathy Hochul, who visited the Cornell campus on Monday, stated that she was committed to combating hate and bias. The individual responsible for the threats has not yet been named by the police. The Cornell Daily Sun reported on antisemitic comments left on Greekrank, which is used by many Cornell students. The threats included specific threats against the on-campus kosher dining hall. The posts from the user "hamas" used slurs, threatened violence, stalking, and rape against Jewish people, and mentioned bringing a gun to campus. The incident comes amidst rising antisemitic incidents around the country, leading the Biden administration to announce efforts to combat antisemitism and hate speech on campuses.
