NEW YORK — On Rebecca T. Stern’s to-do list when she returned to campus this fall was reviewing her class schedule, buying last minute school supplies and scrolling through the Students for Justice in Palestine Facebook page.

As president of an Israel advocacy group called TorchPAC, the New York University communications major makes it her business to see what rhetoric might be making the rounds and whether her club needs to respond. One item jumped out: the “Disorientation Guide for the Corporate University.”

The 68-page document, disseminated primarily as a PDF, mentions Israel 55 times, more than the words “alt-right,” “fascism,” and “white supremacy” combined. It also calls Israel as a “white supremacist” state.

“It was pretty covert. It bashes the university, so they don’t want the administration to get their hands on it,” the junior said over coffee and tea at a nearby café.

Welcome to fall semester.

The guide was released at other campuses across the country, including Tufts University and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). The Tufts guide defined Tufts Hillel as “an organization that supports a white supremacist state,” thereby singling out the campus’ main Jewish organization as a pariah. And at UIUC, when Students for Justice in Palestine promoted a protest “Smashing Fascism: Radical Resistance Against White Supremacy,” they announced, “[t]here is no room for fascists, white supremacists, or Zionists at UIUC.”

Last spring Brandeis University released a survey of 3,199 Jewish students and recent graduates from 100 universities nationwide.  A quarter of the respondents said they had been blamed for actions of Israel. Nearly 75 percent reported being exposed to at least one anti-Semitic statement in the previous year, according to the study.

As the academic year gets underway students across the country face hostility from the alt-right and neo-Nazis. Posters promoting an allegedly white supremacist group called Identity Evropa were taped to walls in schools as geographically diverse as Arizona State University and NYU. The extreme left, as seen in the Disorientation Guide, is using similar tactics.
