Forum on Antisemitism at Stanford University Taken Over by Antisemites
“As administrators tried to keep order, some protesters began issuing threats.”
This story is disturbing on multiple levels. Stanford needs to be added to the schools already being investigated over this type of activity.
NEW: Last month Stanford held a forum on combating anti-Semitism. By the night’s end, protesters had physically threatened Jewish students, harassed a rabbi, and told employees they would "find out where you live."
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.🧵https://t.co/ZCbscd8Gjx

‘Run by the Mob’: How Anti-Semites Took Over Stanford’s Campus
On January 24, Stanford University held a forum on combating anti-Semitism. The event, which featured Stanford president Richard Saller and provost Jenny Martinez, was meant to reassure Jewish students that the university had their back amid the wave of anti-Semitism sweeping college campuses.
“We really do want to make sure that all of the communities on campus get the respect that they deserve,” Saller told the forum. “We’re committed to equal treatment and equal protection.”
The events that transpired that night undercut that message. By the end of the evening, protesters had physically threatened Jewish students, harassed a rabbi, and told employees of the elite university that they would “find out where you live.”
David Schuller, 24, a yarmulke-wearing graduate student in Stanford’s physics department, found himself surrounded by a mob of hecklers when he approached a protest outside the forum.
“The IDF killed your hostages,” the mob chanted at Schuller, according to videos of the incident obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, which show police standing by as the encounter unfolds. One protester can be seen taking the visibly Jewish student aside and whispering what Schuller described as a threat in his ear.
“He told me, ‘Watch it man, we’re watching you. You better know what you’re getting into,’” Schuller told the Free Beacon. “I had to take a couple steps back and tell the cops he threatened physical violence.”
Another confrontation took place on a nearby quad where, in a video that has since gone viral, protesters told Jewish students to “go back to Brooklyn,” called white people “terrorists,” and promised to destroy Israel and America.
