Between Home and Homeland: Jewish College Students Confront the Israel-Gaza Conflict and Campus Divides
Jonathan Krasner; Cheryl Weiner; Meka Greenwald; Lance Rothchild
Journal of Jewish Education, v91 n2 p205-248 2025
This study examines the experiences of Jewish college students in the United States following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and the resulting Israel-Gaza conflict. Using qualitative analysis, it identifies six distinct response categories -- "Affirmed," "Aggrieved," "Retrenched," "Conflicted," "Disengaged," and "Disillusioned" -- based on ratings across seven axes, including connectedness, activism, and emotional well-being. The findings highlight the intersection of global events and polarized campus climates, revealing tensions between Jewish identity, antisemitism, anti-Zionism, and political engagement. This study provides insights into how young Jews navigate vulnerability, community, and solidarity during a time of crisis, revealing responses ranging from pride to alienation.
