Cornell University has become a hotbed of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic protests. Last October, threats against Jewish students were so bad that Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul called those making them “terrorists.” Like other elite universities, Cornell University had pro-Palestinian “encampments” that disrupted campus life but disbanded without incident after the end of the academic year. When students returned to campus this fall after a tumultuous spring, they were greeted with anti-Israel graffiti.
Ondrasik wrote two songs about October 7th and its aftermath, “Song for the Hostages'' was released in October. And “OK (We Are Not OK)” was performed in Tel Aviv's Hostage Square in April, hours before the first missile and drone attacks from Iran.
