In the 2023-2024 academic year reports of antisemitism on U.S. college campuses surged. At the same time, contentious debates about what antisemitism means reignited, in particular, with respect to criticism of Israel. The present study addresses this debate through a bottom-up approach that centers on the perspective of the targets of antisemitism. Surveys conducted during the 2023-2024 academic year with Jewish students on over 50 campuses reveal wide agreement that certain statements about Israel are inherently antisemitic and that these views remained stable over the academic year.
