Those posts included the Cornell University Jewish center address, threats of violence against the center and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cy_7mvDrAq8\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\">specific threats <\/a>against the kosher dining hall on campus, which was later shut down as result. <\/p>\n<p>Citing numerous emails, The Sun reported some professors already offered Zoom class options and messages of support to students earlier this week. <\/p>\n<p>Police were dispatched to Cornell\u2019s Center for Jewish Living earlier this week following the threats, and a person of interest was later arrested, according to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D).<\/p>\n<p>The university <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/statements.cornell.edu\/2023\/20231031-suspect-charged.cfm\">said<\/a> Tuesday the suspect is a Cornell student, who is facing criminal charges. Hochul said the person was being held by the New York State Police for questioning.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/statements.cornell.edu\/2023\/20231101-standing-against-hate.cfm\">message<\/a> to students on Wednesday, Cornell President Martha Pollack noted that while the threats were \u201cunsubstantiated,\u201d \u201cit adds to the stress\u201d in the campus community. Pollack said Cornell Police will continue to have an increased presence. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The FBI was also involved with an investigation into the threats as a potential hate crime, Pollack confirmed. <\/p>\n<p>The threats come amid a massive uptick in antisemitic incidents since the Oct. 7 incursion into Israel launched by Hamas, a militant group recognized as a terrorist organization by the U.S. and several other countries. Hamas\u2019s attacks against the Jewish State have killed over 1,400 people in Israel, most of them civilians. <\/p>\n<p>The Anti-Defamation League last week said it tracked 312 antisemitic incidents in the more than two weeks since the war between Hamas and Israel began, marking a 388 percent spike over the same period last year. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Israel launched a massive bombardment of Gaza following Hamas\u2019s attacks and over 8,500 Palestinians in the territory have died in the violence so far, according to the Hamas-ruled Gaza Health Ministry.  <\/p>\n<p>Tensions over the ongoing violence have reared their head at several college campuses across the country, with some students and student groups calling for a cease-fire in order to assist Palestinian civilians under siege. <\/p>\n<p>On the other side of the conflict, students have accused their school leaders of not condemning the Hamas attacks strongly enough. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The Hill reached out to Cornell University for further comment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
