Columbus, OH – Jewish students at OSU woke up to people yelling antisemitic phrases outside their home Sunday morning.
Columbus police said the people also threw items at the house.
“It’s horrifying, It’s very unsettling,” Daniel Brener, an OSU student and president of Alpha Epsilon Pi told ABC 6.
This happened outside an off-campus home that fraternity members live in, but it is not the main fraternity house.
“You always want your fraternity brothers to feel safe, especially in our own house, and especially at school,” Brener said. “When you’re being targeted for who you are, it really makes us upset.
Brener said his fraternity brothers saw two suspects, and one was wearing a mask.
“You don’t ever think it can happen to you, but when it does, it almost makes a little bit of sense,” he said.
This is the latest example of antisemitism on OSU’s campus. In November, two women allegedly vandalized Israeli flags on campus. Hours later, police report two Jewish students were assaulted near campus.
“The fact that it continues to happen is outrageous, and it makes it even more upsetting,” Brener said.
