Campus police report Hamilton College student confesses to posting antisemitic comments


A Hamilton College student, Adyn S. Brenden, has been charged with posting antisemitic remarks on campus, including writing “Kill the Jews wherever you find them” and drawing swastikas on art canvases. He admitted to the allegations during an interview with New York State Police and has been processed on a count of first-degree aggravated harassment. Hamilton College has suspended Brenden pending a hearing for his dismissal from the school. There is no current threat against students or faculty at Hamilton College. The school is committed to maintaining a safe campus free from bias acts, discrimination, or harassment.

The incident occurred just days after Hamilton College’s Center for Jewish Life held a vigil marking the one-year anniversary of Hamas’ incursion on Israel. The Israeli military offensive following the attacks resulted in casualties in Gaza and Lebanon. The conflict has sparked protests in U.S. cities and college campuses, with some student groups calling for divestment from Israel and companies profiting from the war.

The incident at Hamilton College reflects a rise in reports of antisemitic, Islamophobic, and anti-Palestinian bias incidents in the U.S. as a result of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The defendant, Brenden, is not currently attending the college and there is no information on whether he has legal representation. The school expressed gratitude to law enforcement for their response and reiterated their commitment to a safe campus environment.
