Acts of antisemitism and Islamophobia have increased on U.S. college campuses since Oct. 7. At Syracuse University, Imam Amir Durić and Rabbi Ethan Bair are trying to lead the way by modeling, rather than mirroring, what is happening in the world. “It is important to start with that human feeling,” Durić told Blue Marble. “If you suffer, [the] least I can do is to stand with you, to be in solidarity, and to show my support. And then I hope that you can do the same for me.”
