This is the best summary I could come up with:
The posts, which appeared on an online discussion forum about fraternities, included threats to shoot Jewish students and encouragement to others to kill them.
“Threats of violence are absolutely intolerable, and we will work to ensure that the person or people who posted them are punished to the full extent of the law.”
“We hear that as a call for our genocide,” said Rabbi Ari Weiss, the executive director of Cornell Hillel, a Jewish group on campus.
In the weeks since, as Palestinian deaths in Gaza have risen into the thousands under Israel airstrikes, tensions have sharpened at college campuses across the United States.
Jewish students held two vigils, one in response to the attack, and a second to highlight the Israeli hostages taken by Hamas, according to Rabbi Weiss.
Last Wednesday, students woke to find graffiti on sidewalks across campus that insulted Israel and compared Zionism to genocide, The Cornell Daily Sun reported.
