A Princeton University student has come forward alleging she was verbally attacked during a recent anti-Israel demonstration on campus, claiming protesters hurled offensive slurs at her and demanded she leave the country.
The student, who has Jewish heritage, said the incident took place while she was observing the protest from a distance. According to her account, several demonstrators singled her out, calling her an “inbred swine” and shouting that she should “go back to Europe.”
She stated that the experience left her shaken and concerned about growing hostility toward Jewish students in academic environments. The incident has since drawn widespread attention online, reigniting national debate over the line between protest and hate speech on college campuses.
University officials acknowledged awareness of the situation and said it is under review. While Princeton did not confirm specific disciplinary actions, a spokesperson reiterated the school’s commitment to fostering respectful dialogue and ensuring student safety.
The episode is the latest in a series of campus confrontations tied to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as tensions over global events continue to reverberate through American higher education institutions. Advocacy groups have called on university leadership to take a stronger stance against antisemitic rhetoric, regardless of the political context in which it occurs.
