The United Nations International School (UNIS) in New York has opened an internal investigation after swastikas and homophobic remarks were printed in middle-school yearbooks, according to parents who spoke with Ynet. Parents say the incident is the latest in a series that raises hard questions about how the prestigious institution handles antisemitism within its walls.
The United Nations International School (UNIS) in Manhattan has launched an internal investigation after middle-school yearbooks were found to contain swastikas and homophobic slurs, parents told Ynet. The parents described the incident as part of a broader pattern of antisemitic and hateful behavior at the prestigious K-12 institution, which serves the children of UN diplomats and international staff. The school has not yet issued a public statement on the probe. The incident follows a recent case at Cornell University, where a student is under investigation for allegedly rejecting a summer internship at a Jewish-owned startup with an antisemitic remark, as The Zioneer reported on June 17. No further details about the UNIS yearbook printing, the number of affected books, or the timeline of the investigation have been released.
