Claim That Trump supporters Attacked Pro-Palestinian Students at Indiana U. Appears to be a Hoax
“Neither the Indiana University nor Bloomington Police Department were able to find police reports or any record regarding these incidents.”
How many more times must we go through this? Wasn’t the Jussie Smollett story enough to wake people up to the truth?
The College Fix reports:
Hoax alerts: No proof Trump supporters attacked pro-Palestinian students at Indiana U.
At least four accusations of anti-Muslim bias at Indiana University have fallen apart upon closer examination, according to a College Fix review of bias reports, police documents, and other public records.
Furthermore, a law firm hired by the university noted school officials did not inform the campus community that two accusations had proven to be inconclusive.
Other reports of harassment and violence lacked corresponding police reports.
“A student reported that a group of students wearing Israeli flags and a Trump flag hit them on the back of their head with a water bottle,” one bias report, obtained by The Fix via a public records request, alleged.
The students “verbally harassed them with several comments including ‘fag’, ‘looked like a low [testosterone] male’ and ‘if you go to gaza they’ll kill you’, and physically assaulted them, when they were standing in Dunn Meadow.”
This incident likely occurred last spring during a high profile pro-Palestinian encampment on campus. The Fix obtained bias reports via a public records request covering the 2023-24 school year. There are no police reports for this attack.
Neither the Indiana University nor Bloomington Police Department were able to find police reports or any record regarding these incidents.
Cedric Harris, IU’s assistant dean for student support and bias education, did not respond to multiple requests for information via email and by phone in the past month. The Fix asked about the evidence and resolution of the incidents described in the bias report.
“We would not have taken a report that occurred in Dunn Meadow as that would have been taken by the IU Police Department, as that is not in our jurisdiction,” a Bloomington Police Department public records manager told The Fix via email. “I also did a search near that area and did not find anything either that our agency was dispatched to.”
Likewise, campus police have no corresponding police report for the claim that “two white male students wearing Israeli flags and Jewish student organization hoodies” yelled “terrorist bitch,” “towel head,” and “go back to where you came from” at a Muslim female student. This also likely occurred last spring.

too bad
so when were the charges filed against the hoaxers ???
Charges for what? What crime do you claim they committed? Lying is not a crime.
or you’d be serving a life sentence
Lying to a police officer is indeed a crime.
I must confess, it was me and a friend. We dressed up in black muscles suits and donned black-face. We then carried around nooses while wearing our MAGA hats and yelling “This is MAGA country!”. Anyone we saw carrying/eating Subway we tossed bleach at while chanting “This is MAGA country!!’.
These hoaxers never realize how unbelievable they sound. People carrying MAGA and Israeli flags around saying slurs? Sounds like a strawman.
If they didn’t have nooses or bleach, you know this wasn’t genuine,
This will continue until charges are brought and the students/people making these false charges are put in jail and made to pay a nice fine. Until then, if no repercussions are felt then it will continue.
Charges and jail for what? Lying is not a crime.
If you reply that making a false police report is a crime, you will only show that you didn’t read the post. The whole point of the post is that whether or not the incidence occurred no police reports were ever made.
