An Arab-Israeli journalist, Yoseph Haddad, was physically assaulted by anti-Israel agitators prior to a lecture he was scheduled to deliver at Columbia University last Thursday. Haddad, a journalist and Israel Defense Forces veteran, had been invited by a pro-Israel student group to speak on campus about the collaboration between Arabs and Jews in Israel. However, upon his arrival, he was met with a hostile environment as anti-Israel protests were ongoing at the university.
Agitators at the scene were reportedly chanting slogans like 'intifada' and 'from the river to the sea,' which prompted Haddad to engage with them. He explained the true implications of the term 'intifada,' highlighting that it signifies not just a violent uprising but also symbolizes the moral degradation of both Jews and Arabs.
