Surging tensions at Columbia University have sparked condemnation from the White House as pro-Palestinian demonstrations on campus stretch into their fifth day. "We've seen harassment and calls for violence against Jews. This blatant antisemitism is reprehensible and dangerous - and it has absolutely no place on college campuses, or anywhere in our country," President Joe Biden said Sunday. A rabbi linked to the Ivy League school has recommended that Jewish students "return home as soon as possible and remain home" amid the demonstrations. The atmosphere is so charged that school officials said students can attend classes virtually starting today - the first day of Passover, a major Jewish holiday.
