What do you think about these statistics regarding Jewish and Muslim college students?

Here is an interview I saw this past Sunday. Video and transcript. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/robert-pape-university-of-chicago-political-science-professor-face-the-nation-transcript-04-28-2024/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2yNBJMA23mDcf6j1ED7w8PHegaaLQBMqBUbP6w7IX-O3BTZRv0QQrjnlE_aem_AeknporkzzYnN6BIwbS_KCyJLcinjsANtzgb5ISXYgmROEC7RSY1q4i_I8L4fhoMTVC3u2GvgYcraVNxj7yNh4k-

Basically the study concludes that over 50% of Jewish and over 50% of Muslim students feel afraid. 16% of students not in those groups are afraid. The study was conducted in December and January.

Does it matter?

Are you surprised by the drastic difference between these two groups and how low the number is comparatively with students not in these groups?

Towards the end of the video they discuss how the protests are being handled.
