(JTA) Over the last year, Jewish college students took it upon themselves to combat antisemitism at their schools. Now, two major Jewish organizations are working together to play a stronger role in fighting antisemitism on campus.

The Women of the Wall prayer service passed off relatively quietly on Monday morning at the Western Wall despite a promise by hardline religious-Zionist activists to protest the group. The group faced jeers and other mild forms of harassment by other women praying in the women's section, as well as similar activity by small groups of Orthodox children harassing a group of men praying in solidarity with the Women of the Wall. Public Security Minister Omer Bar Lev (Labor) promised in June to ensure that the Women of the Wall would not face such harassment again

Thousands of olim and other Israelis are facing severe difficulties in obtaining entry permits for their parents, children or siblings to enter the country for important life-cycle events, while hundreds are missing flights or are forced to reschedule without knowing when such a permit might come. These difficulties come as the government has increased restrictions and regulations for those entering the country due to the resurgence of COVID-19 in Israel and abroad, in an attempt to halt foreign nationals who may be infected from entering the country. But even requests in which the applicants seemingly meet the criteria for entry, and whose documentation and applications are filled out correctly, are not receiving answers to their entry permit requests in a timely fashion.

Theres no need for a Military Police investigation to know that the soldiers who killed a child, Mohammed al-Alami, in his home village of Beit Ummar last month violated our most basic ethical expectations for the armys operations in the heart of a civilian population. Its still too early to know whether the soldiers who raced after a pickup truck carrying a man and three children and shot deadly fire at it will receive backing from their commanders, or whether theyll be punished in some way and if so, how. Will a punishment be imposed simply to cover military rear ends, or to make the value of a Palestinian childs life clear to all soldiers?
