CAMERA on Campus Top 12 Student Activists of 2022

At CAMERA on Campus, we believe in honoring those who have shown great courage and dedication in their efforts in the fight against antisemitism, including anti-Zionist attacks and anti-Zionist rhetoric. In recognition of this, we are honoring twelve student activists leading this battle. They are steadfast, vigilant, and resilient, in the face of adversity, apathy, and injustice. We honor them all equally as leaders in their communities.

In 2022, college students in the United States confronted 796 reported incidents of antisemitism. Students outside of the US have also experienced considerable antisemitism. A 2023 report by Community Security Trust (CST), an organization dedicated to combating antisemitism in the United Kingdom, indicated 150 antisemitic incidents, a 22% increase over the previous year.

While comparable studies on campus antisemitism in Israel have yet to be conducted at the time of publishing this list, CAMERA Fellows have documented antisemitic incidents at major Israeli universities for years, including at two prominent institutions this year alone. Nevertheless, the diligent efforts of these students cannot be honored enough.
