Jeremy Davis says the Jewish Ohio State University's students he knows can't wait for this school to end but not for reasons you'd expect in a typical year.

"For a lot of Jewish students, myself included, I think we're very fearful." the senior says in the video above. "We feel intimidated, and quite honestly, I think we're just really, really tired."

Davis, student board president of Ohio State University Hillel, said Jewish student have been harassed, berated and bullied for months due to Israel's war with Hamas.

"It's not just an attack on Jewish students. I think it's an attack on people who care about Western values," he says. "I think that's what this conflict is mainly about. It's an extremist organization against Western liberal democracy."

Davis took his last final Monday.
