CNN —Cornell University police are investigating a series of antisemitic threats made against the school’s Jewish community in online posts over the weekend, its president announced.
“The FBI is aware of the threats made to Cornell University’s Jewish community,” the agency said in a statement.
“The virulence and destructiveness of antisemitism is real and deeply impacting our Jewish students, faculty and staff, as well as the entire Cornell community.
This cannot be what defines us at Cornell.”Cornell senior Zoe Bernstein, who is Jewish, told CNN she was heartbroken to read the antisemitic posts, which she said have spread fear and distress throughout the campus’ Jewish community.
“It’s really, really hard to focus on anything other than all of this,” she said.
