The Jewish students of Columbia have come together and written their earnest plea for a safer campus.
They do not ask for support for Palestinians to end or for all criticism of Israel to be quieted.
What they want, and what we should all want, is simply an end to the dehumanization of Jews and Israelis that's happening in Columbia.
I'm incredibly proud of them for coming forward to demand an end to the harassment on campus, especially when it's so much easier to put your head down and stay quiet.
