What happened

“Not interested in working for a Jew.”

— The message a Cornell student sent to reject an internship

The message was explicit: being asked to work for a Jew was reason enough to reject the opportunity. The American Jewish Congress demanded accountability from Cornell.

Instead of facing consequences, the student found defenders willing to excuse discrimination and attack Jews.

Thousands flooded us with hate-filled comments, including:

Replies we received

“You dual loyalist Jews are CANCER in this country... I wish ICE would leave the Mexicans alone and deport you filthy animals back to Israel.”
“Way to prove our point, f**k yall Jews gtfo of America.”
“F**k you demon pedophiles trash bastards.”
“Even hollywood is run by jewish, law firms, doctors !! we don’t want you in our country.”
“It’s not antisemitism it’s antisatanism. Get it right. The goy are waking up!”

That backlash is exactly why this fight matters. We can’t let them have the last word.
