The Anti-Defamation League, a group that fights anti-Semitism, on Friday announced that it tracked 520 events that it characterized as "anti-Israel" on campuses during the 2014-15 academic year. That represents a 38 percent increase over the previous year. The group also said that 29 campuses saw formal campaigns for a boycott of Israel, nearly double the number of the previous year. The ADL also noted numerous instances of anti-Semitic incidents on campuses.
