Longstanding accusations of Israeli organ harvesting have reemerged in the aftermath of the October 7 massacres. This conspiracy theory plays on the blood libel trope, which dates to the Middle Ages and alleges that Jews use the blood of Christian children to bake their Passover bread. In the current Israeli-Palestinian context, organs are substituted for blood, and in some cases, activists are alleging that Israel purposefully kills Palestinians to harvest their organs.

Physical and verbal assaults, death threats, and antisemitic slogans are intimidating these students and preventing them from getting the education and college experiences they deserve. Less known, but no less worrying, this same phenomenon plagues Jewish students at universities around the world.
In June, I met with British, Spanish and French…
