Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Authorities arrested a 21-year-old student at Cornell University on Tuesday on charges he made antisemitic threats against Jewish students. Officials alleged Dai posted on an online discussion site threatening to “shoot up” a dining hall on campus that caters mostly to students who eat a Kosher diet. “When speech crosses over into hate speech and into hate crimes, that’s when we have to make sure that students know that we’ll step up and protect them.” Cornell University administrators dispatched campus police to a Jewish center after threatening statements appeared on a discussion board on Oct. 29, 2023. The Cornell student body has been on edge for days after a series of anonymous messages were posted in an online forum, part of a surge in antisemitic comments nationwide.
