Anti-Israel Protesters Allegedly Assault Student Outside Emory University’s Chabad
“They punched me in the stomach, grabbed the [Israel] flag and started a back and forth, and then one of them spit at me.”
It’s never been about Palestine. It’s never been about Israel.
It’s always been about Jews.
Emory Students for Justice in Palestine (ESJP) protested outside the Emory Chabad due to a dinner and talk with an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Reservist Commander.
An Emory law student claimed one of the protesters assaulted him:
The law student, who requested to remain anonymous due to safety concerns, brought his car adorned with American and Israeli flags to the Chabad house parking lot. The student said he was holding an Israeli flag at the Chabad fence when the assault occurred.
“Multiple guys came up to me from the bottom [of the fence], and they reached through the fence to grab the flag because I was on my side of the line,” the student said. “They punched me in the stomach, grabbed the flag and started a back and forth, and then one of them spit at me. And then I went to the cops, and apparently one of the guys that engaged in that had flashed his gun that he was carrying.”
Elijah Brawner (26T), who helped organize the protest, stated that the men who allegedly assaulted the student were not affiliated with Emory or ESJP. The men appeared to be beyond college age.
It doesn’t change the student’s accusation.
Brawner claimed no one touched the law student.
“They grabbed his flag. They pull on the flag, he pulls the flag back,” claimed Brawner.
The protesters used all the typical words and phrases:
Organizers took turns leading chants such as, “Free, free, Palestine, long live Palestine,” “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” “There is only one solution, intifada revolution” and “Long live the intifada.” “Intifada” is a word for an uprising that is used to describe periods of Palestinian militant attacks on Israel throughout history. Protestors also chanted “Baby killers” toward students standing on the Chabad lawn.
One lady had a great description (#sarcasm) of the Jewish students trying to drown out the protesters:
“The Israeli terrorists started chanting and playing their music during that, which was very, very disrespectful,” said Saturn Williams, a student at Chattahoochee Technical College (Ga.) who heard about the protest through the Atlanta branch of the Party for Socialism and Liberation.
Although Williams arrived 10 to 15 minutes before people began dispersing from the protest, they noticed the “cops interrogating” a “man of color.”
UPDATE: we are learning that an Emory Law School student was assaulted during this SJP protest, which occurred outside of the Chabad House.
The victim was punched in the stomach and then spat on.

It’s always the leftists and their cronies that are responsible for violence and destruction.
It never fails.
I wonder if these schools will grow a backbone when the violence and lawsuits start? Or when their “yield” drops like a rock, with parents of prospective students refusing to allow their children to go there?
I doubt parents can stop their adult children from going where they want. They can refuse to pay for it, though but that would just result in a ton of student debt which Brandon is trying to wipe away.
Every Jew alive, a forty-five.
Its disgusting to protest at a Chabad house too. The Chabad are seriously the kindest most welcoming people, and any campus is very lucky to have them. One thing I can say is that the Chabad will not be intimidated by this at all, they always go into places where there is danger and they don’t leave no matter how much they are targeted.
Very true. Chabad is a laudable and welcoming face of Judaism, in any environment.
Chabad provides and has always provided a portal for students exploring Judaism regardless of the political and cultural environment
The people wanting to murder all Jews called them playing music “disrespectful”.
dang.
As long as there are no consequences for attacks, there will be attacks. And eventually it becomes pointless to assume or hope that the criminal justice system will take a hand. Then things become more basic.

Assaulting Jews – like burning, looting and murdering in the name of BLM – is now semi-legal in some parts of the US. Authorities either look the other way, or make vague accusations about “right-wing hate” or “Christian nationalism” or whatever lame alibi is handy.
This is the evil face of the goose-stepping, Jew-hating, Muslim supremacist, Islamofascist Dhimmi-crats — the self-congratulatory, contemptibly hypocritical and farcically self-styled “anti-fascists” of our time.
Islam is a cancer in the West.

Saturn??
More like Uranus.
We all need to step up for Israel
